much like to be informed to what points I should particularly direct 

 my attention. The ruins at Pathari are very extensive but also 

 very much buried under jungle and debris, and every year adds to the 

 destruction. Lieut. Waterhouse, I believe, last year, sent to the Society 

 photographs of a temple, near Pathari and also of the great Boar, 

 (the Varaha Avatar) at c Erin.' 



" I noticed in the account given of the fossil, I discovered in the 

 Mahadeva hills, at one of the meetings of the Society, that the words 

 ' Machhi Katta''are translated 'fish bones.' Of course the words 

 do not mean fish bones and the people of the country, as far as I 

 could learn, had not any idea that there were bones at all, but thought 

 that the figure of a fish had been cut, carved, or engraved on the 

 stone by some one of ancient times, probably one of the Pandus."
