With the second volume of West Iranian Dialect Materials thirteen short-stories in Luri (Baxtiari) dialect from the collection of D. L. Lorimer are published. The stories appear in transcription, and are followed by translation and an extensive glossary. In arranging the glossary, as in volume one, special attention has been attached to the ethymology of the important words. Lorimer's large linguistic records from southern Iran, collected in 1906, 1908 and 1913-14, consist of valuable materials and can be divided into several sections such as ethnographic materials, folk-stories, inter-tribal relations, history of the Baxtiaris, poetry and the like. This volume will be followed by other volumes covering the publication of all of Lorimer's materials in Luri (Baxtiari).
