H. Beveridge —The Khurshid Johan Numd of 
[No. 3, 
famous Gopalbhog mangoes, the Dargah of Pir Husain near Maldah 1 where 
there is a stone with an inscription of Husain Shah, dated 10th Zu-l-qa‘da 
899 (13th August 1494). The author gives the inscription, but it has 
already been published, being one of those discovered by Mr. Westmacott. 
See J. A. S. B., XLIII, 301. At a place called Jaharpal (?) and also called 
Baglahagl (?) and which is on the east bank of the Mahananda there are 
two inscriptions, viz., one of 918 (1512) of Husain Shah’s time, and another 
of 930 (1524) of Nasiru-d-din’s time. Both of these have been printed in 
J. A. S. B., 1. c., pp. 305 and 308. The author says he saw them near the 
house of Manglu Kh an, deceased, who was a descendant of Ibrahim Adham 
of Balkh, and that the bones of a saint named Shaikh Siraju-d-dm are there, 
enclosed in a small box. Formerly the shrine of the saint was opposite 
Manglu’s house in a place where the river now is, but the men of the neigh¬ 
bourhood were warned by the saint in a dream to taxe up his bones and put 
them where they now are. The author gives both the inscriptions, but it is 
unnecessary to republish them. Under the head of the Karbala, the 
inscription from Khalf Khan’s mosque, dated 935 (1528-29) is noticed. See 
J. A. S. B., 1. c., pp. 307 and 308. The stone is now on a tomb at the 
Dargah of a saint called Lankapat (the Nankapat of the Journal). The 
Husain Shah inscription of 914 (1508) (J. A. S. B., 1. c., 305) is also given. 
He states that this inscription had belonged to a Jama mosque built by 
Husain Shah. That mosque is now destroyed, but one Rahim Dalai built, in 
1277 (1860) a small mosque on the site of the old one, and placed the old 
inscription on it. The stone is on the right side of the door of the new 
mosque. He gives the village of Shahmandi near Masjidbari as the site of 
this mosque. He gives the inscription which is of the date 914 (1508), but 
it has already been published, J. A. S. B., XLIII, 305, No. 13. 
At page 178 he describes the tomb of Dariya Kh an, 2 which has already 
been referred to, and on the next page he describes an inscription which he 
found lying in some heavy jungle near another tomb in the neighbourhood. 
He says that he read it quickly, but that the words were as follows
