opened, but I know a good number which are still with their finds within 
them, but the Ummer Kheyl one ought to give us something: a message 
from you would get it done quickly. 
“ I am still going on bringing to light what remains of the architecture 
of the Ahin Posh Tope, and we have now visible some figures in plaster 
which remain on the square base. In a few days it will be so far advanced 
that a proper plan can be made.” 
Capt. Waterhouse said that of the 20 gold coins 3 were Eoman and 
the remainder Greek, one showing a good figure of the preaching Buddha 
with an inscription in Greek BOAAO. The relics and other articles con¬ 
sisted of a gold relic-holder inlaid with garnets and containing two gold 
coins and a piece of relic. 
A piece of clear white glass with dark blue raised bands. 
2 pieces of shell. 
11 copper coins. 
1 piece of red stone. 
1 small leaden bullet. 
1 small glass (?) bead. 
1 piece of fused glass. 
He had heard that these coins and relics had been received by the 
Viceroy, and thinking that they would be of interest to the Society, he had

Dr. Hoernle and Mr. Tawney made some remarks on the coins. 
The President said that the Society was greatly indebted to His 
Excellency the Viceroy for an opportunity of seeing these interesting coins

to examine them thoroughly as yet.* 
Di. Hoernle exhibited a MS. of the well known Prakrit grammar 
of Vararuchi, edited by Professor Cowell. In many points its readings 
differ considerably from those of the published text. For example after 
viii. 37, there is an entirely new sutra : chhijjabUjjdv apy elce || clihijjai, 
Ihijjai || The phraseology of the commentary is generally different and 
very much more concise. The Sanskrit translations of the Prakrit exam¬ 
ples are, as a rule, omitted. Instead of 12 chapters there are only 10 ; 
the last one containing all the rules of the usual 10th, 11th, 12th chapters 
and dividing them merely by the remarks Hi paisacM after x, 14, and 
* Dr. Hoernle has succeeded in determining all the coins, among which he finds 
two unique ones. They will be described at the next meeting. Ed,
