V. A. Smith — Grceco-Roman Influence on the [No. 1, 
A letter from the Government, dated 25th November 1835, states 
General. that “ under the circumstances represented, 
from which it appears that it would lead to 
considerable further delay to prepare and execute a new device for the 
gold coin proposed to bo issued (with the name of the coin in English 
within a wreath instead of tho lion,) whereas the coinage of double 
mohurs can be immediately commenced if the die cut with tho device 
according to the design of Elaxman be adopted, the Governor General 
has been induced to waive his objection to the representation of an 
animal upon the gold coin of India, and to approve the adoption of this 
device.” 
The details of the new coinage were finally laid down by Acts 
XVII and XXII 1835.

Sii Alexander Cunningham has favoured me with communications 
which enable me to make certain corrections in and additions to my 
second paper on Graeco-Roman Influence on the Civilization of Ancient 
India, published in the Journal of this Society for 1892 h 
0oncoluill S ^ le ®t l01 ’t record dated in the year 68, and numbered 
II. by M. Sonart, I remarked ( page 56 of my paper) “It is not known 
o what object it was attached, but doubtless it was a sculpture of some 
sort.” M. Senart’s words are (page 21 of his paper) “ Lc lieu d’ 
engine de cette courte inscription ne m’ est pas connu. II est probable 
que, comme presque tous les monuments lAunis au musee de Lahore, 
elle vient du pays des Vusufzais, sur la rive gauche du fieuve de Caboul, 
de Jamalgarhi, de Taklifc i Bahi, ou des environs. 
Les caracteres occupent une longueur de 97 centimetres ; on pent 
en estimer a 3 centimetres et demi la hauteur moyenne. La hauteur de 
la pierre est de 10 centimetres. Ignorant jusqu’ a sa provenance, nous 
n avons bien entendu aucun renseignement sur 1’ objet qu’ elle accom- 
pagnait primitivement.” 
„ Cunningham, in a letter dated 17th June, 1892, clears up 
all doubts as to the place from which the inscription came, and proves 
that I was mistaken in guessing that it had been directly attached to a 
sculpture of some sort.
