To celebrate the centenary of this event the Narosa Publishing House (in association with Springer-Verlag) has published in facsimile the greater part of his remaining unpublished material, which was at one time in the possession of the late Professor G. N. Watson—the so-called Watson bequest. This has now appeared in a large handsome 419 page volume entitled SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN. The Lost Notebook and other unpublished papers: pp. 419. £39.00; DM. 118.-. (Springer-Verlag, 1988). At the opening ceremony of the Ramanujan Centenary Symposium in Madras on 22 December 1987, copies of the book were presented to the Indian Prime Minister, Mr Rajiv Gandhi, who inaugurated the symposium, and to Srimathi Janaki Ammal, Ramanujan's 88-year-old widow. The main object of the present article is to describe the book's contents, to give information regarding the provenance of the various items and to correlate them with the corresponding portions of the Watson bequest. At the same time I take the opportunity to add relevant or interesting information from other parts of the manuscript collection and to supplement the description of the material in my earlier paper [16].
