1890.] punch-marked coins of Hindustan, ^c. 231 
94. A GROUP OF ‘fungi ’ (? ?) Fig. 83. 
This is not a very rare symbol, but a very obscure one. It seems 
hardly probable that ‘fungi’ are intended but no alternative supposi- 
tion presents itself. 
95. A PlRALIiELOGEAM DIVIDED INTO TRIANGULAR SEGMENTS. Fig. 123. 
A somewhat uncommon symbol on a coin in my possession. 
96, A ‘ Thyrsos’ with a canopy above. Fig. 38. 
The central object is a pole with an oval head, not I’are on these 
coins, and which I am inclined to identify with the ‘ Thyrsos ’ of Gi’eek 
mythology. On either side are two objects which may be intended for 
fish, and above is a semi-circular canopy. 
97. Two fish (?) with a pole between and a semi-circle below. 
Fig. 37. 
It is very doubtful if these objects are fish or the precise meaning 
of the semi-circle. It is essentially identical with No. 96, and the 
same explanation will apply to both. 
98. A ‘ Thyrsos ' between two ‘ Taurines’ in a triangular area. 
Fig. 181. 
99. A ‘fan’ palm, or tal tree. (Borassus'). Fig. 64. 
100. A human figure with three dots above it. Fig. 2. 
Perhaps intended for Siva. 
101. Three dots in a circle. Fig. 154. 
This symbol is identical in import with No. 15. 
102. Four ‘ Taurines ’ IN A square. Pig. 164, 
103. A circle supporting two ‘ Ohatras ’ and two ‘ Taurines. 
Fig. 103. 
This symbol appears to bo furnished with a handle. If this is 
really intended, it would seem to be connected with the ‘ sistrum ’ of 
Isis, and to represent a variant of that Nature-worship emblem. 
104. A VINE. Fig. 76. 
This is part of a composite symbol, not very rare on the coins, and 
which Thomas calls a leopard and vine. In the best examples, however.
