124 A new gold Gupta coin forwarded by Mr. H. Ttivett-Camac. [April, 



turn of the great S'ramana.' (See the Proceedings for June 1881, p. 113.) 

 The words enclosed in brackets are broken away on the medal. 



The inscription on the smaller medal is the same Buddhist creed* 

 but it is nearly illegible. This medal shows a panel, containing Buddha 

 seated in the attitude of meditation, with two attendants standing on each 

 side. The panel is surmounted by a large stiipa with one small one on 

 either side. The whole, panel and stiipas, are encircled by a garland of 

 small bells. ^ The inscription is below the panel. 



The Philological Secretary exhibited a new gold Gupta coin 

 forwarded by Mr. H. Rivett-Carnac. The following is the description 

 of the coin supplied to him by Mr. V. Smith : 



Obv. Bull to right. Above S'ri Vira x , below between legs, two 

 characters. 



Rev. Lakshmi as usual ; legend on right edge, kramdditya. 



Diameter about t 7 q of an inch. 



Dr. Hoernle remarked, that the letters were so badly preserved, that 

 he would not venture to say what the legend was. The only distinct letter 

 was ma on the reverse. He would also take this opportunity of exhibit- 

 *ng three other coins. One was a small copper coin from Kashmir sent 

 to him by Mr. L. W. King. It showed on the obverse a humped bull to 

 the left, with very indistinct traces of one or two letters ; on the reverse 

 a standing figure with outstretched arms ; legend sahijavi. The other 

 coin was a silver forgery of a gold Gupta coin, received from Mr. W. 

 Crooke, C. S., Etah. The type was that of the 'Rider, and peacock- 

 feeding female.' (See Journal, A. 8. B., Vol. LIII, plate III, fig. 13.) 

 It appeared to have come from Kanauj, where it is known that forgeries 

 of this kind are carried on. The third was a copper coin, also received 

 from Mr. Crooke. It belonged to the well-known type of R&madatta. 

 But it was peculiar on account of its being a beautiful specimen of a 

 double-struck coin. The legend read Edjno Bdmadatasa (see Plate I). 



The Philological Secretary exhibited a MS. in two volumes 

 called " Visuddhi Marga," by Buddha Ghosha, lent by the Archbishop of 

 Siam. 



Dr. Hoernle reported his attendance at the Seventh International 

 Congress of Orientalists, Vienna, on behalf of the Society, and submitted 

 a copy of the report drawn up by himself and his colleague, Mr. G. A. 

 Grierson, for the Government of India by whom they had been sent to 

 Vienna as joint-delegates. The following is the substance of the report : 



" We arrived in Vienna on September 26th, and after inscribing our 

 names at the Kanzlei of the University received an invitation for a
