Simla, Ibth July, 1898. 

 Dear Dr. Bloch, 



I send you a letter from Babu M. M. Chakravarti, which 

 appears to me deserving of publication in the Proceedings of the 

 Society. So very little is known regarding this particular class of 

 coins that any suggestions coming from tlie Babu who has made Orissa 

 his special duty, are valuable and will be welcome to Numismatists 

 generally.
