’Ala'ii ddi'n Abul Muzaffar Husain Sha'h. 
(Twenty-first king.) 
Of this king no less than seventeen inscriptions have been published in 
this Journal.* They give the years 903, 907, 908, 909, 911, 915, 916, 918 
922, 925. Mr. Westmacott found in Maldah six new ones of 899, 900, 
907, 910, 914, 918, 923; and Mr. J. R. Reid, C. S., has sent me two of 906 
and 909 from Saran. 
Husain Shah’s coins, as far as hitherto known, give the years 899, 900, 
912, 914, 918, 919. Of coins, I can give two new ones, viz., a small 
silver coin of 899, from the cabinet of our Society, and a unique gold coin 
of 907, which Col. Hyde and I lately purchased at a podar’s shop in Cal¬ 
cutta for the cabinet of the Society.

No. 8. The Husain Shah Inscription of 899. 
Mr. Westmacott found this inscription on the premises of one Pat’liu 
Khan at Maldah, not in situ , at the tomb he calls the “ Dargah i Aulad 
Sultan Adam Balkhi,” or ‘ the shrine of the descendants of Sultan A'dam 
of Balkh.’ Sultan A'dam’s name is not given in biographical works of 
Saints in my possession.
