1865.] Coins of the Nine Ndgas. 123 



incorrectly spelt with the dental n. These coins are extremely com- 

 mon. Mr. Thomas has noted that there are 3,479 specimens in the 

 Stacy collection, of which I know that by far the greater number were 

 obtained at Grobad. At the close of the Glwalior Campaign in 1844, 

 Col. Stacy- showed me a bag full of these coins weighing about 4 seers 

 or 8 lbs. which his coin collector had just brought from G-obad ; and as 

 he had not purchased the whole find, I managed to secure the remain- 

 der, which were about 2 seers or 4 lbs. in weight, and numbered about 

 1,750 specimens. Since then on different occasions I have procured 

 812 specimens at Mathura and 357 at Delhi, besides many more at 

 other places more especially at Gwalior and Narwar, which altogether 

 make my number considerably over 3,000.
