ADDENDUM. 
Mr. H. Rivett-Carnac’s unique coin of Kumara Gupta Mahendra was 
accidentally omitted from the Catalogue. The coin was bought at 
Mathura. 
Ohv. King standing to front, between two standing females : 
bird-standard over king’s right shoulder. To left of king 
IWTT ‘ Kumara,’ written vertically ; on right of king General 
Cunningham reads ‘ Gupta,’ but the word seemed to me 
doubtful. Marginal legend illegible. 
Pev. Goddess on lotus-flower seat, as usual. Legend ^ WTR J, 
‘ Sri Pratapah.’ The legend seems to me to be perfectly un- 
mistakeable; it is legible even in the poor woodcut of the 
coin in Proc. A. S. B. Nov. 1883, p. 144. Monogram. 
I regard the two female figures as probably intended for the king’s 
consorts, and 1 have therefore called the type the Two Queens. Dr. 
Hoernle’s suggestion that the central obverse figure is meant for Buddha 
seems to be quite inadmissible. 
The weight of the coin is not stated. The title ‘ Pratapa is new.’
