The Kois, who are a branch of the Gonds in Central India, number about one hundred thousand souls. At the request of the Church Missionary Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society published, in 1884, a tentative edition of five hundred copies of the gospel of Luke and the 1st pistle of John. The translation was made by general Haig, assisted by three Kois who understood the Telugu Bible. The translator read also the proofs of the edition. (B.P.)
