efforts be made, we sincerely hope they will be on the lines Mr. 
Wright has suggested. Let a series of monographs be prepared, 
each dealing with the issues from a separate mint. wo 
of this nature Mr. Wright’s Introduction has already paved the 
way, and by its help quite a number of such monographs might 
be readily outlined : the filling in alone is now needed. In one of 
the last letters that I received from Mr. C. J, Rodgers, he 
expressed a desire identical with that which Mr. Wright now 
voices. He stated that he would like to see the whole of India— 
or, at least, all that had at any time been subject to the Mughal 
—parcelled out into a dozen or so different districts, and in 
will be more thankful than Mr. Wright himself for any informa- 
tion elicited that will supplement or modify the statements in his 
volume, eview, however, one’s attention must be directed 
matur on a now well-known system of transliteration, and 
strongly urged its general employment, in order that “ Criental 
studies may thereby be facilitated.” Several of the coins described 
by Mr. Wright are the property of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 
and accordingly in the Catalogue that registers them one would 
have expected that the method of transliteration so definitely 
approved by the Royal Asiatic would have been adopted. It 
seems a pity that this course has not been pursued. However, for 
only three letters do the transliteration-equivalents accepted for 
this Catalogue differ from those in the Asiatic Society’s Scheme. 
In its English dress & now appears as si of th, Ve asz 
instead of d, and 3 as z instead of dh. So, alas ! the reader has 
now to discriminate between four 2’s, to wit, }=z, e=7 B=z, 
andS=z, It should also be noted that g and \ are represented 
by the digraphs ch and sh without the usual subseribed line ; and,
