26 Annual Report. [Feb. 



Of the Proceedings, 10 numbers have been issued, amounting to 211 

 pages with 10 plates. 



The stock of the Society's publications and of the works belonging to 

 the Bibliotheca Indica Series has been taken. This has been a very trouble- 

 some and heavy work as it has not been attempted for years, and the parts 

 of the different books had to be sorted and arranged before the number of 

 copies of each could be ascertained. The stock in the Society's possession 

 has been shown to be much greater than anticipated, and several copies of 

 old works, which were thought to be completely out of stock, have been 

 brought to light. A new list of books for sale will shortly be printed. The 

 stock amounts to about 2,05,700 separate numbers or fasciculi, representing 

 about 162 different works or volumes of the Journal, Proceedings, &c. 



Building. 



The amount spent on repairs during the year was Rs. 343-4-0. Four 

 beams had to be changed at a cost of Rs. 1L2, and Rs. 55 were spent by 

 the Society in substituting 4 iron pillars for the stone ones formerly 

 supporting the staircase. 



Coin Cabinet. 



There has been a very large number of additions during the year under 

 review ; altogether 247. Only four among these, however, were purchased ; 

 the remainder, 243 were presentations. 



The four coins which were purchased are gold mohurs, one of Jalal-ud- 

 din Feroz Shah bin Tughlaq. They were obtained from the Magistrate of 

 Budaon under the Treasure Trove Act. 



Among the presentations there are four silver (one of Ala-ud-din Muham- 

 mad Shah, the others illegible) and 29 copper coins from Lieut. R C. Temple, 

 B. S. C, found at a village called Holawali. Also ten gold Viraraya

 and 200 small lead coins, found in the village of Narsaraopet, from the 

 Madras Government.
