The Philological Secretary read the following reports on finds 

 of Treasure Trove coins. 



1. — Report on 372 old copper coins, forwarded by the Deputy Com- 

 missioner of Jubbalpore with his No. 4783, dated 8th December, 1887. 



The find place is not specified. It must have been somewhere in 

 the Jubbalpore district. 



All the coins belong to Husamu-d-din Hiishang Shah, the second of 

 the kings of Malwa and Mandii. They are described by Thomas in his 

 Chronicles of the Pathan Kings of Delhi, p. 348. They are small copper 

 coins, having on the obverse Hiishang Shah as-Sultdn, and on the re- 

 verse : Daru-1-Mulk Shadiabad. They bear no date. 



2. — Report on 24 ancient silver coins, forwarded by the Collector of 

 Champaran, with his No. 1119 G, dated 20th February 1889 : 



On or about the 5th July 1887, a Kuli Dusadh of Kundilpur 

 found a hoard of buried silver coins, which is supposed to have amounted 

 to about Rs. 500 or Rs. 600, but of which only Rs. 124 were recovered. 

 On the 20th January 1889, 24 of the best preserved specimens were 

 forwarded to me for examination, while the remainder were returned

 read svayam cha 'pratirathah.
