The animal is represented standing to right on a 
rock with some small animal in front of it. The 
ears are very peculiar. (123).

An oval object, invested with numerous short spines : 
perhaps intended for some species of wild fruit. 
An obscure symbol. A.I., PI. I, fig. 11.

Hare in the Moon. In some coins the animal is 
within a crescent, which can hardly be intended 
to represent anything but the Moon. (27).

Hare in a circle sui'ronnded by dots. This may be a 
variant of the last. Thomas figures it in J. As. 
Soc. Beng. 1865, Part I, PI. IX, fig. 5. (83, 88).

goat’s back a cup, (?) directed backwards. It is 
only on some coins that these three symbols can 
be seen together, but the idea is clear enough. 
(4, 50, 92, 94).

A Kid. Whether the Kid forms part of the last

coin. (4).

animal stands within an irregular incused area.

A Dog to right in an energetic attitude, as if barking, 
on the top of a Stupa. 
A.I., PI. I, fig. 7. 
Thomas makes no allusion to the position of the 
Dog on a Stupa, which seems its usual place. (5 
85).

Peacock on Stupa. (8). 
Thomas figures an example in J. As. Soc. Ben. for 
1865, PI. IX, Part I, p. 14, but without including 
it in his essay in N.O. though it occurs not rarely 
on both obv. and rev. of these coins.

In my previous paper (relying on Thomas’ figure 
in N.O.) I considered this animal to be a Crocodile, 
but after examining Walter Elliot’s figure, PI. 
VIII, fig- 24, I am convinced that a Porpoise is 
intended, as the above figure shows the expanded 
tail of a Fish (or aquatic mammal like the Planta- 
nista Gangetica), an important character, which 
Thomas’ figure fails to convey, or more truely 
omits!

A Python incubating its eggs. (19). I have seen no
