11, I have added the last coin to this series because it corresponds 
both in weight and in fabric with the specimens of Pasupati’s mintage. 
The type of the obverse also agrees so closely with that of the first 
example just described that I have little doubt that this coin belongs 
to some member of the same family. The specimen is unique. I 
have added two small coins of Chandra Gupta, Figs, 20 and 21, for 
the purpose of shewing that similar vases of flowers were used as types 
by the Gupta dynasty which immediately preceded the family of Tora- 
mana. Fig. 22 is another small coin with the flower-vase type, but 
bearing a different name, Swarga, regarding which I am unable to 
offer any remarks save that its type and fabric range it with the con- 
temporary coins of the Guptas. 
12. The third series of coins belongs to a much later period of 
ndian history, shortly after the capture of Delhi by the Muhammad- 
ans. The coins themselves are utterly rude and barbarous imitations 
of the horseman mintage of the Brahman kings of Kabul ;—but they 
are otherwise interesting and important, as they bear legible dates, 
from which I have been able to verify two of the names as those of 
actual Rajas of Narwar. Of the earliest of these coins belonging to 
Malaya Varmma Deva, 1 have seen only 5 specimens. On one of 
them, Fig, 26, the date is §, 1280, or it may be 8. 1285 as the unit_
