is an entry, ‘‘ Monnaies de la reine Sassanide Borén ou Pauran-

yet seen.

P.S.—After I had completed the above article my kind 
friend Mr. Cawasjee Eduljee Kotwall placed in my hands a 
copy, recently sent him from Paris, of the late M. Drouin’s 
‘monograph above mentioned. It contains a description of 
four of that Queen’s dirhams of the regnal year 1 (mint not 
stated), and one dirham of each of the regnal years d 3. 
Both of these latter coins are from Yezd Mint, whereas the 
dirham described by me issued from the Mint at Ram.
