1840.] Lieut, Cunningham on Bactrian coins. 889 



the second syllable of the name of Undopherras is do^ the sloping 

 stroke to the left downwards being the vowel o, with which the d is 

 inflected ; and precisely the same mark which is found to represent o 

 in the name of Zoilus. 



To the second letter therefore in the name of Undopherras, I have 

 assigned the value of J, but as this letter occurs again as the repre- 

 sentative of the Greek double PP? it must have another value, and be 

 equivalent to an aspirated or double r ; and this indeed is the precise 

 sound which the Sanskrit cerebral v^ d frequently has, as ^ r. Here 

 then we find that by giving to this letter s, the value of the cerebral ^ 

 d of the Sanskrit, it completely fulfils all the conditions in which it is 

 found upon the coins ; thus most satisfactorily establishing the correct- 

 ness of the value which I have assigned to it, and at the same time 

 leading to the discovery that the third letter of the Bactrian Pali name 

 of Undopherras can be no other than ph, thus rendering the whole 



four characters literally Andophara.

Notes of a March from Brifnhan Ghat on the Nerhudda, to Umurkuntulc, the 

 Source of that River. By G. Spilsbury, Esq, 



In the Asiatic Journal, for August 1834, appear some notes of mine from 

 Tendookherie, across the valley of the Nerbudda south to the table land 

 of the Puchmuree, or Mahadeo hills. In the following paper I propose to 

 give the result of my observations from Brimhan Ghat to Umurkuntuk, the 

 holy source of the Nerbudda river. The notes will comprise three dif- 

 ferent routes, and I have some hope that by the aid of the accompanying- 

 map, and the specimens forwarded for presentation to the Museum, that I 

 shall have added a mite to the Geographical and Geological knowledge 

 of this as yet little travelled portion of Central India. 



In the construction of the map, for which I am indebted to the able 

 pencil of Captain Reynolds, Madras Army, I have to remark that its correct- 

 ness depends on the places written in Capitals, which are laid down from 

 the map of these territories, furnished from the Surveyor General's office, 

 on a scale of eight miles to an inch. The notes commence at Brimhan 

 Ghat near Chawurputhur ; on leaving whicb we struck off in a S.S.W. 

 direction, crossing the valley of the Nerbudda, which yields but little 

 variety to the geologist, being a fine rich black soil of decomposed trap, 

 intermixed at the banks of most of the Nullas with calcareous tuffa.
