E. E. Oliver —The Safivi Dynasty of Persia. 
Nos. 44, 45, and 46, are of Fath ’AH Shah. Qajar,* and do not 
belong to the series ; and No. 48 is (to me at least) a doubtful coin* 
It appears to be of Tahmasp II., struck at Hawizah. 
I have again to express thanks to the many friends who have sent 
me their coins to examine. In this case more especially to Mr. Rodgers 
of Amritsar, and to Mr. Furdoojee of Bombay. The latter gentleman’s 
collection is especially rich in Safwi, and many of his coins figure in this 
series.
