42. A Hoard oF RAJPUT COINS FOUND IN THE GARHWwAL District, 
The following analysis of a hoard of Rajput coins found at 
Lansdowne, in the Garhwal District of the United Provinces, is of 
some interest, both on account of the contents of the hoard and on 
account of the place of its discovery. 
The circumstances of the find cannot be better described than 
in the words of the owner, Major M. B. Roberts, 1/39 Garhwal 
Rifles. In a letter to the British Museum, dated 29th May, 1905, 
he says :— 
2 The following is the history of the finding of these coins: 
sses..--.e. My Regiment is permanently stationed at Lansdowne (a 
cantonment which came into existence on 4th November, 1887) in 
the Garhwal District of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh 
(late North-Western Provinces). The station is situated on the 
outer range of the Himalayas between 5,000 or 6,000 feet above 
sea level, and lies just about half-way between Naini Tal and 
Mussoorie. The district is populated for the most part by Rajputs, 
who were supposed to have immigrated there from Rajputana at 
yarious periods up to about 1,000 years ago, I believe. On the 
22nd October last, whilst having a building site for my house ex- 
cavated on the top of the ridge, a number of these coins, all exactly 
alike, were discovered buried in a small earthenware pot about two 
feet below the surface. Unfortunately the earthenware pot was 
broken into minute fragments by the pickaxe.” 
The coins were 157 in number ; they were of copper, often show- 
ing traces of silverplating, and they were all of the well-known 
Rajput types “the bull and horseman.” They are distributed as 
follows :—
