The monthly general meeting of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 
was held on the 3rd instant — 
A. Grote, Esq., President, in the chair. 
The proceedings of the last meeting were read and confirmed. 
Presentations were received — 
1. From Captain F. P. Layard, 33 coins. 
The following is an extract from a letter from Babu Rajendralal 
Mitra, to whom the coins had been submitted for examination : — 
“ The collection includes several specimens that are new to the 
Society’s cabinet. Among them may be reckoned 1 of Ilyias Shah, 
1 of Sekandar Shah, 1 of Ghids-ud-din, 3 of Ala-uddin Hossein 
Shah, and 2 of Nasrat Shah of Bengal. With two exceptions, they 
are in a good state of preservation, and one of them seems to be 
of an undescribed type. There are, besides these, a Turkish grosh, 
and a four-anna piece of Juddha Vikrama of Nepal, which deserve 
mention. 
“ The following is a list of the coins from Captain Layard.
