(VII) Report on two old silver coins, forwarded by the Deputy 

 Commissioner of Mandla, with his No. 2366, dated 12th November, 1894. 



No information is given in the letter of the Deputy Commis-

They are square rupees of Akbar, with the Kalimah, of the type 

 shown in the Br. Mus. Cat., Nos. 127-151. Their dates are 1000 (in 

 numeral figures, not expressed by alif) and 996. Their mints are lost. 



(YllI) Report on 24 old coins, forwarded by the Deputy Com- 

 missioner of Rawalpindi, with his No. 2568 G., of 16th November, 1894. 

 The coins are stated to have been found near Hasan abdal Tahsil 

 Attock, in the Rawalpindi District. 



All the coins are of impure gold, and belong to the class known 

 as " Class B., Coins of the Great Kusaus," described by the late Sir 

 A. Cunningham in the London Numismatic Chronicle, Part II for 1893, 

 pp. 120-124. 



The present collection consists of coins of three varieties, distin- 

 guished, as follows : — 



No. of specimens. 

 First variety ; with two sub-varieties : — 



1st sub-variety : with the legends bha, sita and 

 saka, as described and figured by Sir A. Cun- 

 ningham, in {his) Plate II, No. 2, fig. 124 {I.e.) : 13 



2nd sub- variety, with vi instead of hha 1 



N.B, — The legend is saha, with long a, as Sir 

 A. Cunningham rightly observes {I.e., p. 122) 

 not saha as Thomas and V. Smith {Journal, 

 A. S. B., for 1894, p. 182, footnote 2) read. 

 The long a is indicated by the curve at the 

 top of the right-hand stroke of the letter sh^ 

 which is distinctly shown in Cunningliam'a 

 figure 2.
