paper, shewed a number of well finished heads, chiefly of Buddha, 

 artistically grouped. Some of the heads looked, indeed, as if of 

 Greek origin rather than Indian. Mr. Delmerick had also 

 kindly offered to send to the Society several of the heads themselves, 

 which would be laid before the meeting in due course.

Mr. Blochmann said — 



Mr. Carlleyle, Curator of the Eiddell Museum, Agra, has, on 

 several previous occasions, favoured the Society with most costly 

 photographs, tracings and rubbings of inscriptions and coins, &c. 

 His presentations, if published, would indeed fill volumes. He sent 

 lately through Mr. E. 0. B a y 1 e y, several photographs of Bac- 

 trian and Buddhists coins, as also a large collection of well 

 executed rubbings, regarding which Mr. B a y 1 e y observes — 



' The rubbings are very interesting ; they are several new ones 

 among them, as a new Apollodotus, &c.' 



Among the photographs lately sent by Mr. Carlleyle, there 

 are a few Muhammadan coins which deserve notice. 



1. A coin of Sher Shah, with the Hindi legend Sri Slier Shah. 



2. A rupee of Jahangir —

 between the lam and mim.
