(). 
A very unintelligible object, resembling nothing so 
much as a leaf of a ‘ Cactus ’ or ‘ prickly pear,’ 
only the ‘ Cacti’ are wholly American (as botanists 
tell us) and therefore unknown in India in early 
times. I possess two coins with this symbol and 
a third is figured in the catalogue of the coins in 
the Indian Museum, Part III, PI. II, No. 10014. 
It might have been intended for a proligerous leaf 
of Cotyledon rhizophylla. Roxb. if it, or any 
allied species was known then in India; but better 
specimens may clear up the mystery. In one of 
my coins there is the appearance of a ‘Taurine’ 
forming part of the symbol.

R. 
A two-handled water vessel. This symbol is shaped 
like the Portland Vase only the lip or handle on 
either side is curved over till it touches the 
shoulder, and instead of the mouth forming a 
straight line at top, the centre is depressed and 
the outline is made of two semi-circles. In the 
centre of the vase is a circular ornament (?), and 
the whole is within a neat barrel-shaped area. (22).

R. 
A five-pronged fork or rake, with a short handle and 
an X. mark (which can hardly be meant for a 
‘ Taurine ’ by the side. (43).
