[Read May 1896. ] 
I thought when I wrote the Fifth Supplement to Mr. Thomas’s 
most excellent work, that I should not be able to add anything more 
to it; but constant search and further acquaintance with coins—some 
of which were gathered in bazaars, some sent me by friends to be read, 
and some belonging to the Asiatic Society of Bengal—have shown me 
that the subject is by no means exhausted. Adhering to my custom, 
I drew everything new that presented itself to my notice. The result 
has been the accompanying two plates. I have given the weight and 
metal of each coin as usual. The capital letters appended to each coin 
show who the owners were when I drew them. LL. M.=Lahore Museum; 
C. J. R. myself; A. S. B.=The Asiatic Society of Bengal; K.=L. White 
King, Hsq., F. 8. 4., late Deputy Commissioner of Peshawur ; A.= Miss 
Allsop, of Malerkotlah ; B. = Geo. B. Bleazby, Esq., ‘““The Prairie,” Lahore ; 
H.=R. Ellis, Esq., Oil Mills, N.-W. Railway, Lahore; B. M.=British 
Museum, from me. I cannot help regretting that all the coms are not 
in some Indian Museum, seeing that every coin is new to Numismatics, 
so far as lamaware. Isee no help, however, for eois being obtained 
by Indian Museums, since I am informed officially that in the new 
arrangements for the revival of the Archeological Survey of India 
no provision will be made for numismatics. This is a decision I deeply 
reeret. I cannot thank the Asiatic Society of Bengal too much for 
the kind manner in which my small attempts to elucidate the numis- 
matics of India have been received. It remains for those who know 
what coins can do towards throwing light on the history of India, to go 
on with their studies and to publish results. I am sorry my health 
compels me to go home for a season. I send my sixth Supplement to 
Thomas, to the Society, just as lam making preparations to go home.
