is standing, The skirts are arranged peculiarly. The drawers resemble 
the broad and flowing drawers worn by women. The skirts are about as 
high as the knee. The legs are in some cases visible, with ties of an im- 
mense size to the boots: in other cases the legs seem to be naked. The 
waist is supported by a cross belt. The right hand contains a wreath. The 
left hand holds a trident or lotus. The shoulders seem to be covered with 
a cape which sticks out very much like epaulettes. The left hand side of 
the coin generally has a circle of dots in it, over the right hand of the 
figure. On the right hand side of the figure the remnants of the titles and 
names are generally found, under the left arm, such as vermd, gupta, deva, 
vijd, In one case the d of deva comes on the left hand side of the coin. 
I have not as yet been able to trace anything like a sign approaching 
to a date on any coin. 
In scarcely any case is there any difficulty about the identification of

than the ones in the plates. The coin I have is evidently a half of what- 
ever these coins were called. It is one of Kalasa’s, 
Having given so much by way of preface, I now give a table of the 
coins represented in Plates XI and XII, showing exactly the inscription on 
each coin and its position, whether on the right or left of the obverse or 
reverse figure. In every case I speak of the right and left of the coin after 
the usual numismatic fashion. When speaking of the figure of course 
the right hand of the figure is on the left of the coin and vice versd.
