Muhammad Arsalan Tatar Khan, son of Arsalan Khan Sanjar. He 
had been for some time governor, when the emperor Balhan ascended the 
throne (664). Barani, p. 66. After a few years he was succeeded by 
Tugliril, who proclaimed himself king under the name of Sultan 
Mughisuddm. His fate has been mentioned above. No dates are given. 
Bughra Khan, Napiruddm Mahmud, second son of emperor Balban. 
No. 2. The Barahdari Inscription of Bihar. [B. C.] 
This inscription also belongs to the time of the early governors of Ben¬ 
gal ; hut unfortunately the first half with the name of the governor is want¬ 
ing. Its date however, A. H. 663, shews that it belongs to the time of 
Muhammad Arsalan Tatar Khan, governor of Bengal in the end of the reign 
of Na^iruddin Mahmud of Dilili. The inscription was found in the yard 
facing the shrine of Shall Fazlullali, Barahdari Maliallah, Bihar.

No. 3. The Kai Kdus Inscription of Kagol. PI. Y, Nos. 1 and 2. 
A rubbing of this inscription was received from General Cunningham. 
Its date is, curious to say, the same as that of the Kai Kaus inscription of 
Gangarampur, published by me in the Journal, for 1872, p. 103. Mr. 
Thomas has published coins of this king, hearing the dates 691, 693, 694, 
695 (Chronicles, p. 149), and the cabinet of the As. Soc. of Bengal contains 
two clear specimens of 691, and 696 (Lak’hnauti mint). 
The inscription is—
