31S Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 3, 



Fob June, 1862. 



The Meeting of the Asiatic Society was held on the 4th instant. 

 A. Grote, Esq , President, in the chair. 



The Proceedings of the last meeting were read and confirmed. 

 Presentations were received— 



1. From Major J. C. Haughton a Silver coin found at Kurn Bil 

 near Jubbulpore, and a Lead Siamese coin found at Tavoy. 



The following is a letter from Major Haughton on the subject : — 

 My dear Atkinson, 



I have the pleasure of handing for addition to the Society's collec- 

 tion two coins. 



The silver coin was obtained by me many years ago from the side 

 of Kurn Bil near Jubbulpore. It is of a type common as far as 

 Caubul. I think it is figured by Prinsep and described by Cun- 

 ningham. 



The large Leaden coin is an ancient Siamese one, part of a " treasure 

 trove" dug up at the capital of Tavoy — Waydee — during the year 

 1857. The inscription is almost entirely illegible. I believe the 

 figure on the obverse is intended to represent a dragon. 



Believe me, 

 (Sd.) J. C. Haughton. 



2. From the Geological Society of London, several publications of 

 the Society. 



3. From the Imperial Academy of Vienna, several publications of 

 the Academy. 



4. From the Imperial Academy of St. Petersburgh, several Nos. 

 of the Memoirs and Bulletin of the Academy. 



5. From Mr. Woodrow, two silver coins from the Sunderbuns. 



6. From L. S. Jackson, Esq., C. S., a silver coin. 



The following is a note on the coin by Mr. E. C. Bayley : — ■ 

 This coin, which was found by Mr. L. S. Jackson, C. S., at 

 Rajshalrve, belongs clearly to the Bengal Pathan series. 



Its inscription, though for the most part in good order, is not 

 altogether legible ; it bears a date, which in ordinary Arabic numerals, 

 reads 933, on the strength of which Mr. Laidlay has assigned it 

 (Bengal Asiatic Society's Journal Vol. XV. p. 333) to Mahmood 

 Shah, son of Hussen Shah, the last of the Independent kings of Gour.
