this Jagheer under the Mundlab Chieftain for 115 years; when on 

 failing to pay the taxes levied on them by the Mundlab Bajah, the 

 •whole Jagbeer was taken from them by the Mundlab Rajah, and by 

 bim made over to Juswunt Rao Mahratta, in the year A. D. 1674. 



Juswunt Rao, assisted by 300 Sowars, held the government under 

 the Mundlab Bajah, and on his deatb was succeeded by his son 

 Moonga Rao, who reigned 78 years. 



The Mundlab Rajah at that time, A. D. 1742, was at war witb 

 the Nagpore Rajah, and, suspecting Moonga Rao of treachery, 

 caused bim to be put to death and the Jagheer to be transferred to 

 his favorites Nawab Ajeet Khan and Ahmud Khan, who had it on 

 the same terms as Juswunt Rao. On their deaths in A. D. 1767 

 the Jagheer lapsed to the Mundlab Rajah, who managed it on bis 

 own account, and derived a yearly revenue of 20,000 Rupees. 



The Mundlab Rajah was in his turn ousted by the Sagur Rajah, 

 Bulwant Rao Pundit, in the year A. D. 1779 who again was deprived 

 of the Sovereignty by Baghojee of Nagpore, from whom we took the 

 country in the year A. D. 1816.

Note on a Stone Figure of a Bull from Buddha Gayd. 

 I am indebted to Mr. Grote for an opportunity of examining an 

 interesting figure of a bull couchant with a Sanskrita inscription on 

 its back, bearing date 781 of the Samvat, corresponding witb 725 of 

 the Christian era. It is an alto-relievo, and measures about 12 

 inches in height, the length being from the croup to the root of the 

 neck 16 inches ; the head is mutilated. Around the back is a strin^ 

 of bells, and the neck is bedecked with a variety of beaded orna- 

 ments. The figure is said to have been brought from Buddha Gaya, 

 but had this information been wanting, the material (basalt) and 

 the style of sculpture would have left little doubt as to the place of
