date according to my reading will be 4 h 31 = 4 hat (or hundreds) 

 •+- 3L == 431 which deducted from 477 or 457 will give B.C. 46 or 

 26— for Huvishka — and I would read *>£^. as 400 + 1 = 401 — 



which would give 76 or 56 B.C. for Vasu ( ■ ). Now the Kanwa 



Prince Vasu Deva reigned from 66 to 57 B. C. This date would 

 therefore suit him exactly. 



XX^H + 4 = 404 of Manikydla (Kanishka), and Kohwdt. 

 The Chinese and the Ceylonese place kamishka 400 years after Bud- 

 dha. The Wardak date of 733 = h 3 + 3 == 303 must he of the 

 Seleucidan era = 9 B. C. for Huvishka the date of Kanishka being 

 as above 404 — 457 = 53 B. C. According to the Raja Taringini the 

 three brothers reigned 60 years." 



Dr. Hall writes from London, Oct. 10th. 



" Benfey has written a Sanskrit grammar for Englishmen. It has 

 been translated into English ; and Miiller is seeing the translation 

 through the press. The fourth part of Muir's Sanskrit Texts is well 

 advanced. The 4th vol. of Miiller's Rig Veda and commentary will 

 be out in a few days."
