H. Blochmann — On a new king of Bengal. [No. 4, 
of Bardwan. It consists of a vault and a masjid, and is frequented 
by numerous pilgrims. The only information regarding Shah Majlis 
(an Afghan name) is that he fought with the Hindus and died a martyr,— 
a legend repeated in almost every A'stanah in Lower Bengal.

This important inscription proves the existence of a new king, and helps 
us to correct the histories as far as the death of Nufrat Shah is concerned. 
A few other valuable inscriptions of kings of the same dynasty having been 
received by the Asiatic Society, I have used the opportunity to put 
them together, and append a few notes on the chronology of the reigns of 
Husain Shah and his descendants. As they are Sayyids, they may be con- 
veniently called ‘ the Husain! Dynasty.’ 
Anticipating the results arrived at below, we have the following 
genealogical tree — 
A 1 a u d d 1 n Husain S h a h, son of Sayyid Ashraf ul-Husaini, 899 to 929, A H. 
1 . Danyal, invades 
A'sam in 9u4, and 
perishes. 
2. Ndijiruddm N u 9 r a t 
Shah (or N^ib Shah), 
929 to 939 (murdered) 
’Alauddin Firuz Shah, 
939, ( murdered by Mahmud 
Shah). 
3. Ghiasuddin Mahmud 
Shah, 940 to 944 j dies 
in 945. J 
Two sons, killed by Jalal 
Khan.
