1211, though both in 1209 and in 1211 Barell Qit ; 'a rupees 

 were also struck. It_ would be interesting to learn whether 

 in A.H. 1210 the Asafabad entirely superseded the Qit'a 

 rupee, or whether in that year too both types were issued at 

 Barell. 



The three Baroda rupees Nos. 3198—3200 are, we observe, 

 assigned in the catalogue to the reign of Shah 'Alam II. Now 

 Shah 'Alain's Baroda coins are extremely rare, and in the ab- 

 sence of that Emperor's name— it is absent from all the three 

 coins —it would be far safer to assume that the top line of the 

 obverse bore the name not of SJiah ' Alam (II) but of Akbar 

 (II). The quasi-regnal years pp and pi entered on the reverse 

 should then date from A.H. 1221, the year of Akbar lis 

 accession, and in that case the three rupees would fall outside 

 the range of coins deemed to be Mughal issues. 



For a book abounding, as this catalogue does, in diacritical 

 marks the errata that we have been able to note are marvel- 

 lously few. Mr. J. Allan, who was so kind as to correct the 

 proof-sheets, and the staff of the Clarendon Press have between 

 them produced a work remarkably free from typographical 

 blemishes. On page xli, line 35, the " 1166" should read 

 <f 1136." The regnal year on the reverse of coin No. 3004. 

 should be not ri but rA : see the representation of this coin on 

 plate xviii. The " Kathiauar " on page lxviii, line 11, 

 should have its first ' a ' long and also its ' i,' thus Kathlawar. 

 .^. e should like to see " Ujain " changed throughout to 

 " Ujjain." This name occurs on the coins in two forms, either

and a single < j ' is neither the one nor the other. Similarly 

 i^> l *±^ is China pattan with a double ' t ' and

Machhlipattan : compare j*s ^ = Pattan Deo. 



The Akbarpur Tanda rupees, Nos. 249, 250, should have 

 been entered before, not after, those from Agra, Nos 227—248. 



In the group of the four Khalifas given on°pa'ge xx, line 23, 



Abu Bakr should stand first and 'All fourth. Should not the 



words *WU J~ be translated, "May His glory be glorified."' 

 rather than, as on page xxi, line 1, " Eminent is His glory"? 

 On page xx it is stated that the epithets of the Four Khalifas 

 are » usually," fr*ah, ^til ( ^ yyA and ^i^ f . But these 



epithets are, if we mistake not, found on Pathan rather than 

 on Mughal coins, and surely the " virtues " attributed far and 

 away the most frequently to the orthodox Khalifas are those 

 contained in the legends that so often stand in the margins 

 of the coins of " the Great Mughals", to wit,
