preceding. At his brother Rafi’-ud-darjat’s earnest request he was se- 
lected as successor, and raised to the throne some days before his prede- 
cessor’s death. The enthronement took place in the palace at Dihli, on 
the 19th Raiah, 1131 H. (6th June 1719) [Kamwar Khan, hut Khafi 
Khan. II, 831, has tlio 20th]. The prince died in camp near A'grali, on 
the 4th or 5th Zu,l-Ka’dh, 1131 II. (17th or 18th Septr. 1719) [Kam- 
war Khan]. In his case also no question can arise, as he did not survive 
to enter a second year. 
NEKiisiYAR. This pretender, son of Prince Muhammad Akbar, the 
fourth son of ’Alamgir, was proclaimed by the mutinous garrison from 
the battlements of A'grali Fort, on the 29th Jumadl II, 1131 H. (18th 
May 1719) [see Khafi Khan, II, 825, Kamwar Khan’s T&rikh-i-S.-i-Oh., 
and Muhammad Kasim’s 'IbratnamaK]. Nekusiyar surrendered to Sayyad 
Husain Ali Khan between the 22nd and the 27th Ramzan, 1131, II, 
(July 7-12, 1719) [Kamwar Khan], 
Muhammad Shah. This prince was brought from Dihli and reached 
the imperial camp on the 11th Zu,l-Ka’dli, 1131 H. (24th Septr. 1719) 
[Kamwar Khan and Khafi Khan, II, 840]. He was enthroned on the 
15th Zd,l-Ka’dh, 1131 II. (28th Septr. 1719), at a village called Bidyapur, 
between A'grali and Fathpur Sikri, three hos and a fraction from the 
latter place [Kamwar Khan and Khafi Khan. II, 840]. It was directed 
that his reign should he reckoned from the deposition of Farrukhsiyar 
[Muhammad Ali Khan. Tdrikh- i- Muzaffari and Khafi Khan II, 841], 
Accordingly it is counted usually from the 9th Rabi’ II, 1131 H. (28th 
Feb. 1719). But the contemporary authority, Kamwar Khan, gives the 
first of that month, namely the 1st Rabi’ II, 1131 H. (20th Feb. 1719), 
as the exact reckoning. 
I may note that the dates of the Christian era, given in this paper, 
are all calculated according to the Gregorian or New Style. I have 
used the “Practical Tables....’’ of Johannes von Gumpacli, London, 
James Madden, 1856. 
Although not strictly within the scope of this paper, I append some 
remarks on Moghul mint-towns, as likely to be of use to any one inter- 
ested in my more immediate subject, and I am not likely to find any 
other early opportunity of placing the results on record. These notes 
are in continuation of those printed in the Society’s Proceedings for 
January 1893. 
’Alamgirpuk. Places with this name seem very hard to find; I 
therefore note those I know of. 'But in the absence of special reasons 
for doing so, it would be hazardous to suggest that either is the mint- 
town for coin No. 772 of the British Museum Catalogue. I find by an
