13. Report on 110 silver coins forwarded by the Collector of Malda to 
the Asiatic Society of Bengal as treasure trove. 
The Collector states that the coins were found in a field in Mauza 
Belbari, thana English Bazar, in the vicinity of the old city of Graur. 
The field had been ploughed two or three days previously, and on the 
night preceding the find of the coins there had been a heavy shower

furrows made by the plough.
