1891.] B. E. Oliver— The Coins of the Chaghatdi Mughals.

The signification of this characteristic Chaghatai mark is a question 
of interest. According to the chronicle of Ssanang Setzen, who, 
himself a prince of a leading tribe, wrote a history of the “ Eastern 
Mongols ” in 1662, which is accepted as a high authority, the royal 
house originally sprung from that of Tibet: and Howorth in his 
history refers to a terminating Tibetan syllable written “ k’ri ” pro¬ 
nounced “ thi,” which means “ throne,” and is found in all the names 
of the ancient kings and princes of Thibet. Possibly Tibetan scholar-3 
may be able to throw some light on the “ chli ” in connection with 
the house of Cha gh atai. 
Most of the rulers describe themselves on their coins as “ Khaqan ”, 
probably as not recognizing the sovereignty of the supreme Qaans of the 
line of Oktai, and several affix the name or title of “ Timm as Yasun, 
Khalil, Qazan, and in the lists Tuka, Dua, and Tughlaq, though on the 
first three coins, noted as struck at .Bukhara, neither word is used. The 
following list, taken from my paper in the R. A. S. Journal, is the best 
approximation I can offer of the line of Cha gh atai Khans, but it is very 
possible that some readers of this Journal may be able to supply from 
coins in their cabinets some additional means of verification and check, 
I need hardly say I shall be greatly obliged for any such information.
