2. The town of Sirhat. 



This is the Sarhat of our maps in Birbhilm. It was the birth-place 

 of Ruknuddm Bukn Khan, who, according to the inscriptions at 

 Tribeni commanded a good portion of Western Bengal in 698 A. H. 

 His name and time coincide with those of the Hiiknuddfn (Kai 

 Kfius), mentioned by Mr. E.Thomas and Babii Eajendra 

 L a 1 a M i t r a (vide Journal Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1867, p. 40.) 



3. The District of Sdjld ManJchbdd ( ^U 4 5ouj iUU Leyi ). 



4. The Thdnah of LdoUd (%^). 



This name occurs on the Tribeni Inscription of 698 A. H. ; but 

 the Satganw inscription of 861 mentions the toivn of Laobla. 



5. The District and town of Heidi gar (j-^U) 



6. The town of SimUbdd ( ,>b3U*« ). 



7. The Thdnah of Mihrbah (tS*jS» ). 



I should be glad if any member could assist me in identifying 

 the last Jive names. 



Tribeni itself is called by Muhammadans Tripdnt, or Tripani- 

 Shahpur, or Firuzdldd. They refer the latter name to a Dilhi 

 Firuz ; but it is more natural to refer it to the Firuzshah of Bengal, 

 whose name occurs in the Tribeni inscription of 7 1 3, and on Mr. 

 Thomas' coins (Journal A. S. B., 1867, p. 45). 



Two inscriptions of the year 698 A. H. mention no king, but 

 only the names of Khan Muhammad Zafar Khan, and Euknuddin 

 Bukn Khan, the latter of whom gets high sounding titles, as Ulugh 

 Maj'lisulmajdlis, Majlis i Ihhtiydr, &c. 



The inscription from Zafar Khan's Madrasah, completed on the 

 1st Muharram 713, gives the name of Shamsuddin Abul Muzaffar 

 F'/.ruz Shah SultJn. 



The name of this king is not given in the Histories of Bengal. Mr. 

 E. Tli o m a s was the first that assigned him his proper place. His 

 coins refer chiefly to the years 715 to 722 A. H. ; one perhaps 

 belongs to 702. The Tribeni inscription gives 713, at which time 

 he must have been firmly established. 



The next (Satganw) inscription gives the date 861, and menti 

 the king Naciruddln Abul Muzaffar ITusain Shah, and a Bengal 

 grandee Tarbiyat Khan.
