The following papers were read : — 



1. On the names hitherto unidentified in four Dutch monumental in- 

 scriptions at Ghinsurah. — By Dr. C. R. Wilson, M.A. 



(Abstract.) 

 The initials W.A., R.Y.H., R.B., and J.V.H. occur on tombs at 

 Cliinsurah. By a search in Dutch records at the Hague they have 

 been identified as of Willem Andries, died 1668, Rogier van Heyningen, 

 died 1665, Rogier Berenaart, died 1732, and Jacob van Hoorn who died 

 in 1712. 



2. Proposed identification of the name of an Andhra King in the 

 Periplus. — By Dr. C. R. Wilson, M.A. 



(Abstract.) 

 The Periplus mentions, as Kings of Kalliene or Kalayan, Saraganes, 

 and after him Sandanes. The former is identified with Satakarni, but 

 while it is impossible to say which of the kings bearing this name 

 is referred to, there can be no doubt that Sandanes should be corrected 

 to Sandares or Sundares and identified with Sundara-Satakarni. The 

 paper shows that the reign of this king falls exactly in the time which? 

 on independent grounds, has been accepted as the date of the Periplus.
