Madras, die 21a mensis Decembris, 1921. PREFACE Another year has been added to the cen­ turies buried in the past, another year has been ushered in by joyful hymns. It is the old, old story. On the threshold of the new year we always resolve to spend the ensuing one better in the light we gained during the preceding twelve months. It is the old, old story. The 1921 edition of the Catholic Directory of India, Burma and Ceylon was far from complete, and the respective Chancellarles seeing this resolved no doubt that 1922 would see a copy unheard of for accuracy even in the life of this useful publication. All the ’ reports came in. Not one point—if we except Statistics—for the Compiler to complain about. To all and every one our best thanks. Y et there is in the present issue one omis­ sion which we regret. Three times we wrote asking for a photo and a brief sketch of the ^ new Vicar Apostolic of Trichur, and we were disappointed not to receive either in time for insertion. The notes inserted will be appreciated by all our readers. The contributors are heartily thanked for these sketches. It may be recorded that the Compiler is grateful for any useful suggestion.
