Captain Be Lcessoe's Central Asiatic Coins.

Postscript. 



The foregoing pages had already passed through the press, when 

 I received from Professor W. Tiesenhausen of Petersburg a copy of his 

 paper on the Oriental Coins of Mr. Linevitch, published in the Trans- 

 actions of the Oriental Section of the Russian Archaeological Society, 

 Vol. IV, pp. 289—320. Among the coins described in this paper, I find 

 several which appear to be identical with some in the Museum Collec- 

 tion. Thus Prof. Tiesenhausen's No. 6 shown in his PI. I, figs. 2, 3 is the 

 same as Ind. Mus. Cat. No. 77. The mint is read by the Professor as 

 JS^. His No. 7 seems to be the same as Ind. Mus. Cat. No. 51, but 

 in the woodcut, accompanying No. 7, the horse is shown without a 

 saddle. His No. 8 (with a woodcut) is the same or nearly the same as 

 Ind. Mus. Cat. No. 101. Others are : No. 1 = Ind. Mus. Cat. No. 149 ; 

 No. 3 = Ind. Mus. Cat. No. 95 or No. 105. Prof. Tiesenhausen's No. 29, 

 which is dated 798 A. H. in Timur's reign, very much resembles Ind. 

 Mus. Cat. No. 230 ; and the latter, therefore, is probably to be attri- 

 buted to Timur. So are, in all probability, Ind. Mus. Cat. Nos. 224, 

 225, 226, which in design have much resemblance with No. 230. In 

 fact, the date of No. 226 is probably to be read 788 in Timur's reign. 

 No. 229 of the Ind. Mus. Cat., to judge from its date 919 A. H., may 

 be a coin of Isma'il I, the first king of the Safawi dynasty of Persia 

 (905-932 A. H.).
