ing is the same as in tlie two figured ; and a comparison of 
several very clear specimens in mj cabinet convinces me 
that the reading of all three is the same and should be 
lEJewsorr rfss^n-iuirefr&sT Ella Nagai'ai Alan Ruhr of all cities, 
just as in Sir Walter Elliot's Pi. IV, fig. 139, the legend is 
read Korkai Andar. 
Again, Sir Walter ElHot's Coin, PI. IV, fig. 144, p. 
152 E, and p. 127, is read "Tirumala?" I have a fine 
specimen of this coin in which the legend is complete, and 
reads, clearly and without doubt, ^^^irirrTLD&sr Jagavira- 
rdman in three lines, the last line of which shows the " ld " 
which suggested, but wrongly, the ^(tjldsu Tirumala of the 
letter-press and catalogue. 
Once more Sir Walter Elliot's coin, PI. IV, fig. 147, pp. 
152 G. and 124-5 is read on the authority of Dr. Caldwell, 
Kdyal. With all due modesty in the presence of such an 
authority, I feel confident from the specimens of the same 
coin in my cabinet, that the reading should be corrected to 
seSLLjSJTfTLaesr Kaliyuka Raman. 
So much by way of correction. Of omissions it would be 
ungracious to speak where so much has been included, but 
one could wish that some of the coins more recently brought 
to light might have found a place in Sir Walter's beautiful 
plates. They might not, perhaps, add much immediate and 
direct information, but would aid somewhat as incentive to 
still further investigation. I wish somebody competent to do 
so would prepare a catalogue gathering up each and every 
type of known Pandyau coin which has been published at 
any time, giving references to plates and letter-press. We 
should know then how to take inventory of our present 
information. 
The coins now figured are as follow? : — Fig. 1. Ohirrse.— 
Sitting Singalese-Chola figure. Before the face of the figure 
is the Tamil legend l^^m Pdthala, and below the legend 
two small figiu'es of fishes : around all a border of dots.
