1. Prom E. P. Harrison, Esq. through A. Grote, Esq. 3 bronze 

 figures. " They were found," says Mr. H. " by a native about five 

 miles from the station (Cuttack,) when digging for the foundation 

 of a new house. There is an inscription at the back of one of the 

 figures which appears to be in Sanscrit. I could find no one here 

 who could read it. The figures are not those of any deities usually 

 worshipped in this part of the country. They do not seem to be very 

 ancient, but as Samuells told me the Society might like to have 

 them, I forward them herewith." 



Babu Eajendralal Mittra stated that the figures were Buddhist, 

 and between seven and eight hundred years old, and submitted 

 the following transcript and translation of the inscription.
