It should be explained that in some cases the recorded 
weight is not exactly that of the particular specimen quoted 
as the original publication, but that of more perfect specimens 
since observed. The use of grains as the standard of weight 
is open to obvious objections as the weight of coins was 
manifestly reckoned in ratis. For example, many of the 
small billon i i 
actual weight exceeds this amount by a grain or two, we have 
to make allowances for slight inaccuracies on the part of the 
mint in coinage struck in the baser metals.

The Saiyid Dynasty. 
After the death of Mahmid in 815 H. there was no 
Sultan in Dehli. The supreme power was vested actually, 
though not nominally, in Daulat Khan Lodi, but this ruler 
struck no coins in his own name, contenting himself with record- 
ing the current dates on coins bearing the legends adopted by 
Mahmiid, Firoz and Muhammad. The same practice was 
adopted by his successors.
