is standing. The skirts are arranged peculiarly. The drawers resemble 

 the broad and flowing drawers worn by women. The skirts are about as 

 high as the knee. The legs are in some cases visible, with ties of an im- 

 mense size to the boots : in other cases the legs seem to be naked. The 

 waist is supported by a cross belt. The right hand contains a wreath. The 

 left hand holds a trident or lotus. The shoulders seem to be covered with 

 a cape which sticks out very much like epaulettes. The left hand side of 

 the coin generally has a circle of dots in it, over the right hand of the 

 figure. On the right hand side of the figure the remnants of the titles and 

 names are generally found, under the left arm, such as vermd, gupta, deva, 

 raja, In one case the d of deva comes on the left hand side of the coin. 



I have not as yet been able to trace anything like a sign approaching 

 to a date on any coin. 



In scarcely any case is there any difficulty about the identification of 

 the coin ; the names are very easily made out. 



Many of the coins have several types. The coins of Gopala, Jaya 

 Sinha, Sussala, Jaga Deva are of several kinds, The last mentioned, how- 

 ever, has the most. In only one case have I come across a smaller coin 

 than the ones in the plates. The coin I have is evidently a half of what- 

 ever these coins were called. It is one of Kalasa's. 



Having given so much by way of preface, I now give a table of the 

 coins represented in Plates XI and XII, showing exactly the inscription on 

 each coin and its position, whether on the right or left of the obverse or 

 reverse figure. In every case I speak of the right and left of the coin after 

 the usual numismatic fashion. When speaking of the figure of course 

 the right hand of the figure is on the left of the coin and vice versa.
