The Silver Stallion
The entire run of Kalki: Studies in James Branch Cabell consisted of 37 issues, grouped four to a ‘volume,’ so that the final issue was Volume X, Number 1, Whole Number 37 (1993); and that volume was never completed. During its existence, Kalki issued indices to each volume, except that volumes I and II were done together and volumes VIII, IX and the fragmentary X were never done. The indices for the 28 issues that were covered contain headings for titles, authors and proper names, though rarely for subject headings; and of course they are not integrated, which reduces their usefulness. We hope some day to integrate them, add the final nine issues, and post a complete index here.
An index of sorts to the first 21 issues of Kalki can be found on pp. 181-85 of Hall. This index is arranged alphabetically according to the title of each piece; however, the authors’ names are not included in that alphabet, though they are appended to their proper title listing; further, each piece is assigned to an issue of Kalki, but no page number is given. Again, this index is of some, but limited, use.
With the exception of Vol.III, No.3 (11) Kalki did not feature a table of contents. We thought that in the absence of a complete and integrated index a Table of Contents (easier to compile because linear) would be of use: here, so far, are the Tables of Contents for all issues. Further, by using a key-word search on this page (or even the site-wide seach on The Silver Stallion home page), it can be made tofunction as an index. The contents as presented here have been slightly rearranged, grouped into recurring Features, Notes, Articles, Reprints etc. This listing is not absolutely comprehensive: occasional small items (for example, brief queries, or announcements of MLA seminars) are not given, and only the cover illustrations (and occasional important photos or pictures) are noticed although typically there were drawings scattered through each issue. Also, parenthetical glosses are sometimes added by us to Note and Article titles to better indicate the subject handled. The goal is ease of reference, not diplomatic transcription.
The "Third Window" editorials usually included subsections of news, gossip, announcements, speculations – no attempt has been made here to catalogue their content, although there is much of interest. "The Letters" column usually included replies, sometimes lengthy, from the editor. 'Source Notes" were sometimes consolidated into a single column, and sometimes scattered throughout the issue as ‘filler’. To avoid the multiplication of categories I have grouped as ‘Articles’ a myriad things – single page notes, descriptions of maps, announcements of publishing programs (etc.) as well as articles proper. "The Colophon" usually announced forthcoming articles and features; since these either appear subsequently or do not, their content is passed over.

1981-1982: The Thomas Head Interregnum
In the Colophon to Kalki No. 29 (1980) Paul Spencer announced that he was stepping down as editor. His replacement was to be the academic and occultist Dr. (John) Thomas Head, a member of the James Branch Cabell Society, and the possessor of "an extensive knowledge of Cabell’s works based on many years of enthusiastic study and the amassing of an enviable Cabell collection, plus professional experience in writing and editing.” In the event, Head never produced a single issue of Kalki, and material submitted to him seems to have disappeared. No explanation was ever forthcoming. In late 1983 Spencer resumed the editorship and, assisted by Professor Dorys Crow Grover of East Texas University, jumpstarted Kalki’s final phase.
