VIII. — IWDBA-MITEA. 



11. Coin, rather small, 

 Olverse. 



Legend and three symbols in a square depression, as on the other 

 coins. 



Legend, — Indra-mitasa. 



Syvihols, the same as on the two preceding coins. 

 Heverse. 



A squat figure of Buddha, above a Buddhist Bailing. 



{Note : — The legend on some other coins of Indra-mitra, which I 

 have seen, appeared to read simply as " Inda-mitasa," while on a few it 

 seemed to have the still more mutilated form of " Ida-mitasa." 



SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE. 



Since my Paper on the coins of the Sunga or Mitra .Dynasty was 

 forwarded to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, I have seen in the collection 

 of Mr. Eivett-Carnac, another apparently unique coin of a king of this 

 dynasty called Ayu-mitra, which I believe to be a new name. This 

 king must have been one of the latest of the dynasty, as the letters of 

 the legend belong to the later Gupta period. 



Description. 



Coin, round, middle sized, copper. 

 Obverse. Bull. 



Inscription, underneath, A-yu mi-ta-sa. 

 Meverse. Apparently a Peacock and Palm-tree ? 



The legend on this coin is clearly and distinctly just as I have given 

 it above, and there can not be any doubt whatever about it. This coin 

 therefore must not be confounded with the common, though similar, coins 

 of Saya-mitra, with which I am well acquainted. 



In order to comi)lete the list, I may mention that I have heard from 

 General Cunningham that he has a coin of a king of this Dynasty named 

 Dhruva- mitra. But as I have not seen General Cunningham's coin 

 and therefore I do not know its age, I can not tell where to place Dhruva- 

 mitra in the line of succession. But no doubt General Cutmingham will 

 describe the coin himself. 



With the sole exception of the last named king, I think I feel pretty 

 certain of the place which the rest of the Mitra kings respectively should
