* may the bull be victorious.' Circular clotted margins on both sides. 

 Most of these coins are in fair preservation ; several showing distinctly 

 the whole legend. 



No. 2. Two specimens. Plate I, fig. 5. A variety of No. 2, the 

 crescent on Bev. replaced by a 2/-shaped symbol, and the trident staff is 

 wanting. Moreover on one of them the bull is represented in the attitude 

 of running or jumping. The dots on both coins are much smaller ; the 

 name is spelt Mihiragula, and the letter ?f m is formed peculiarly, being 

 hardly distinguishable from a ^ p. 



'No. 3. One specimen. Another variety of No. 2. On the ohv. the 

 legend is placed below the head ; while the space in front of the face is 

 occupied by a symbol resembling monogram No. 163 of the Ariana 

 Antiqua, as on figs. 9 and 10 of Plate XVI of that work. 



No. 4. One specimen. A third variety of No. 2. On rev. the 

 dividing line is wanting, the area being occupied by the bull, and above 

 him, along the dotted margin, is placed the legend jayatu vrisha. The 

 characters on this specimen are of an older type, being angular. 



No. 5. Six specimens. Plate I, figs. 6, 7. Ohv., King's head or bust, 

 facing right with fillet behind, as on No. 1. In front of face, a symbol, 

 resembling an angular shaped 9, which, if it be a graphic sign, may be 

 read as bra or jpra. Rev., Circular area, divided into two halves by a straight 

 line ; in the upper half a wheel within a circle of dots ; in the lower half, 

 the two letters cftT tora, in large bold Gupta characters of a late type. 

 Circular dotted margins on both sides. 



No. 6. Fourteen specimens. Plate I, figs. 8, 9. Ohv., Head or bust 

 of king, with fillet behind ; in front of face, monogram No. 163 of the 

 Ariana Antiqua, as on figs. 9 and 10 of Plate XVI, and on fig. 20 of Plate 

 XVII. Bev., figure of running bull, with turned-up tail, facing to the left. 

 Dotted margins on both sides, but no legends. Most of these are very 

 poor specimens. 



No. 7. Eleven specimens. Plate I, figs. 10, 11. Variety of No. 6 ; 

 the only difference being that the bull faces to the right. 



No. 8. One specimen. Plate I, fig. 12. Another variety of No. 6 ; 

 the only difference being, that instead of the monogram there is an 

 inscription, consisting of the letter ^ ha, and after it perhaps T ra. 



No. 9. One specimen. Plate I, fig. 13. Ohv., Head or bust of 

 king, facing left, with crescent surmounting the forehead, and a trident 

 and fillet in front of it ; somewhat resembling fig. 20 on Plate XVI in 

 the Ariana Antiqua. Bev., Standing bull, facing left, towards what looks 

 like a crude fire altar ; above distinctly the letters ^^ rudra. 



No. 10. One specimen. Plate I, fig. 14. Ohv., Crude standing figure 

 of king, facing to the front, with left arm akimbo, its right resting on a
