with what history tells about that saint. For he is said to have been a 

 fellow-student with the Bengal King Ghiyasuddiii Azam Shah, who was 

 still alive in 814, but must have died soon afterwards. It is accordingly 

 interesting to find the same date recorded in a MS., in the Biitish 

 Museum, called the Mirat-nl-Asrar. The only difference, as Mr. 

 Beveridge points out, is that in the latter place the day is the 10th, 

 instead of the 7th Zilgada.

(Abstract.) 



The coins dealt with in this paper belong to a well-known class of 

 Ancient Indian Copper Coins, which are generally attributed to the so- 

 called Sunga Kings, who ruled in northern India from B.C. 176-G6. 

 The two specimens described by Col. Shepherd exhibit two new 

 names, viz., Dhruva Mitra and Rudra Gupta, but nothing beside their 

 ames is known with resfard to those two Kinsfs.
