250 W. Theobald — Notes on some of the symbols found on the [bTo. 3, 
symbol bears therefore a sufficient resemblance to a Bull’s head to be 
regarded as a variant of the ordinary ‘ Taurine.’ By a further process 
of degradation, I am inclined to believe that the puzzling symbol, which 
I have often alluded to in this paper as a “ fish,” has originated ; and 
that in many cases a ‘ Taurine ’ is really intended and not a fish, as in 
figs. 17, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 62, 159, 183 and 230. 
This coin weighed 110 grains, and was therefore a two karsha piece. 
237. Two ‘ Taurines,’ two ‘ chatras ;’ A ball, ceescent and handle. 
This symbol is figured by Thomas. 
238. A ‘ Swastika ’ turning to the left. 
Figured by Thomas. 
239. A CROSS WITHIN A SQUARE. Fig. 162. 
Two of the ai’ms of this cross are (on the coin) very slightly 
longer than the others, probably unintentionally so. 
240. Four balls. Fig. 171. 
This is the simplest form of a symbol that assumed a variety of 
shapes at a later period, and conjoined with a cross, a somewhat profuse 
development on the coins of Eran. The symbol occurs on a silver coin 
in the British Museum, but is rare on the early coins, but reappears on 
the later coinages of Ceylon and South India. 
241. The ‘ Wai ’ symbol C of Dr. Codrington’s paper. Fig. 220. 
This curious device was the commonest on the coins found at Wai, 
which embraced 50 specimens marked with this symbol, consisting of 
karshas, two-karshas and balf-karshas. Dr. Codrington in his papei’ 
thus describes it — “ On a round area are three circular prominences 
arranged on a triangle, round one of which is a ring ; from this ring two 
lines pass to each of the other prominences, which are not surrounded 
by a ring, making the whole look like a driving wheel with connecting 
bands passing to two smaller wheels as is seen in a machine.” Dr. 
Codrington also adds “ Perhaps it is intended to represent the nave 
of the ‘ chakra ’ or wheel with garlands hanging on it, as in PI. 43, 
fig. 1 of Fergusson’s ‘ Tree and Serpent Worship.’ I cannot add any- 
thing to this suggestion beyond the opinion that though of unusual 
design and composition, it is of distinctly Shivite character.
