90 H. Blochmann — On Bengal Coins and Inscriptions. [April, 



(G). Three NueratShahis, of A. H. 922 and 927. These coins were 

 struck by Nucrat Shah during the lifetime of his father, which probably 

 points to a successful rebellion. The mint town is K halif at a b ad, or 

 H a v e 1 i, in Southern Jasar District, on the northern edge of the Sundar- 

 ban, near Bagherghat. I have identified this town with the hitherto 

 unknown Cuipitavaz on De Barros' Map, one of the " lost towns" of the 

 Sundarban. 



(7). One coin of Firuz Shah (III), son of Nucrat Shah, of A. H. 939. 

 Mint town Husainabad.

 that the Society has since January received the following inscriptions, which 

 will be immediately published.
