1888.] Philological Secretary — Reports on Coins. 201 



Ifc does not at all improve matters by saying that his paper was written 

 before he had seen my solution ; there may or may not be evidence of 

 that ; and yon will also notice that even if it be shown that his paper 

 was written before he had seen mine, that would be no proof whatever 

 that the particular portion which contains the solution in question, 

 formed any part of the paper as originally written. At any rate, from 

 what I have shown, there cannot be the slightest doubt that at least 

 two months before his paper was iiublished, the Colonel had seen mine, 

 and yet allowed his paper to appear just as if he had never heard of my 

 solution. I think, therefore, that the remarks I made are perfectly 

 justifiable, and though they are probably severe, I see no reason to 

 withdraw them. 



The Philological Secretary read the following reports on finds of 

 old Treasure Trove Coins : 



I. Report on five ancient copper coins, forwarded by the Deputy 

 Commissioner of Rawal Piiidi, with his No. 2063G, dated the 19th 

 July, 1888. 



These coins are stated to have been found in the Rawal Pindi 

 District, without any further specification. Two of them are entirely 

 illegible, every trace of figures or letters being obliterated. The three 

 others are in indifferent condition, but sufficient traces of the impres- 

 sions remain to identify them as Indo- Scythian ; viz., 



1, a large copper coin of Hoerki (Kenorano), as figured in Ariana 



Antiqua, PL XIII, fig. 10. 



2, a small copper coin of Kanerki, as figured in Ariana Antiqua^ 



PL XI, fig. 20. 



3, a small copper coin ; uncertain ; on obverse, traces of a standing 



figure ; on reverse, traces of an enthroned figure. It may 

 possibly be a Bactrian, with an enthroned Zeus on the reverse. 



II. Report on 99 old silver treasure trove coins, forwarded by the 

 Collector of Sarun with his No. 778G, dated 11th August, 1888. 



These coins are stated to have been found in the village tJsri, 

 Police outpost Bathuniya, Police station Sewan, Subdivision Sewan, on 

 the 25th June 1885. Their value is estimated at Rs. 105-3. 



They are rupees of the following Mughal Emperors :
