Mr. Walter Ewer, in a note, adverted to Mr. Traill's drawing, of 

 the Garhwal tridents. 



The proportions of the trident of Barahdt are incorrectly large for the staff, 

 (see Plate XXIX.) — the edge of the axe should be at right angles to the trident, 

 and consequently not visible laterally on the sketch : — the letters of the inscrip- 

 tion also do not project from the surface, but are indented. The words are 

 sufficiently correct. 



Lieut. Barton, on his departure for Europe, begged the Society's accept- 

 ance of a copy in manuscript of Bahadin's Life of Saladin ; also of Napo- 

 leon's acount of the Campaign of 1805, printed in Arabic at Alexandria. 



Captain Jenkins forwarded a copy of the A horn alphabet, compared 

 with the Bor Khamti, Shyan, Laos, and Burmese, with explanatory notes 

 by Rev. N. Brown. 



This alphabet has been a desideratum for some time, and as very few indeed 

 of the inhabitants of Assam are now acquainted with this extinct character, pre- 

 served chiefly on the coins of the indigenous rajas, an opportunity had been 

 sought in vain for recovering it, until Mr. Brown's residence and study brought 

 him in communication with some pandits who have given the desired infor- 

 mation. We hope to publish it in our January number.
