for the purpose of comparison, a genuine coin of Piruz (from my own 
cabinet). Figs. 44 and 45 ai-e specimens of Class I, variety 2, sub- 
varieties a and b. These show the imitation of Firtiz’s head in crude 
execution ; in fact, but for the existence of the specimens of the first 
variety, it would be impossible to recognize any likeness to Piriiz. The 
two subvarieties only differ in the relative position of the star and 
crescent on the reverse ; in subvariety a the star is on the left, and in 
subvariety b it is on the right side. Fig. 46 shows a specimen of Class 
I, variety 3, being an obverse with the moustached face. Fig. 47 is a 
specimen of Class II, which bears a barbarian head in the place of the 
imitation of Piriiz’s head. 
P. S. Since writing the above, 1 have come across, among a lot of 
half-forgotton coins of the Society, five specimens of this Indo-Sassa- 
nian type. They were marked : “ Received January 1871 ; five undefined 
silver ; donor Dr. Newman.” With the exception of one which belongs 
to class I, variety 1, they are in a very indifferent condition. 
The Marwar coins have, as usual, been distributed under the provi- 
sions of the Treasure Trove Act ; selected specimens having gone, among 
others, to the British Museum and the Asiatic Society of Bengal.

A. P. Rudolf Hoernle. {With two Plates.) 
The first paper under this heading was published by me in volume 
LVIII of this Journal for 1889. I published in it two gold coins, of 
Paramarddi Deva and Vira (or Bala) Varmraa respectively, which were 
found among a lot of 506 coins, collected by BR)U P. C. Mukherji, on 
special duty with the Archa3ological Survey, and which are now de- 
posited in the Indian Museum in Calcutta. A short classified list of 
the Biibii’s collection was published in the Presidential Address, in the 
Proceedings for February 1889, on page 65. I now proceed to publish 
the more detailed account which was promised in that address. 
The collection contained (besides a very large number, more than 
a third, of illegible and useless specimens) coins of the following 
classes : 2 Roman, 2 silver V enetian, 8 copper Bactrian, 22 earlier and 
later copper Indo-Scythian, 5 silver and 6 copper Guptas, 3 silver 
Saurashtrian, 2 copper Valabhis, 3 silver punched, 75 old Buddhist and 
107 old Hindu copper (including 42 of the Mitra, 16 of the Datta and 25 
of the so-called Satrap series), 1 copper Yaudheya, 17 silver or copper
