No. 16. The Hath Shah Inscription of Bandar, near BhdJcd. 
A. H. 886. (PI. VII, No. 1.) 
The Society is indebted to Dr. J. Wise for this important inscription, 
regarding which he writes as follows—“ The inscription was found on an old 
Masjid at Bandar, on the banks of a K’hal called Tribeni, opposite Khizrpur 
(Dhaka). This K’hal was in former days the junction of the Brahmaputra, 
Lak’hya, and Ganges. At its opening on the left bank of the Lak’hya, a fort 
still stands, said to have been built by Mir Jumlali [vide Journal, As. Soc., 
Bengal, 1872, Pt. I, p. 96]. The place called Bandar is now a mile inland 
(vide PI. IV), but during the height of the rains, the K’hal is navigable for 
native boats. The inscription is the most perfect as yet met with in this 
District.”
