Pedler had consented to act as Treasurer during the temporary absence of Mr. J. Eliot. The Srcrerar® read a letter from the Under-Secretary to the Govern- ment of Bengal forwarding a copy of a letter from the Commissioner of the Orissa Division, reporting on the origin and growth of the sect of the Hindu Dissenters who profess to be the followers of Alekh. The Commissioner of the Orissa Division writes :— “1, The founder of the sect is said to have been one Mukund Das. / a i i i Se eee ee 1882. | On a sect of Hindu Dissenters. 3 He lived for a long time in Puri as an Achari Vaishnava, and was known as the Dhula Babaji from the fact of his daubing his body with ashes. “9. About thirty years ago he left Puri and came to Dhenkanal, one of the Tributary States of Cuttack, where he selected as his dwelling-place the Kapilas hills near a shrine of Mahadev. During the first twelve years of his residence at Kapilas, Mukund Das lived on fruits and accordingly was known as the Phalahari Babaji. The next twelve years were passed on milk and water which secured him the cognomen of Kshira-nira-payi. “ During his sojourn at Kapilas, he was known to be a devout wor- shipper of the local idol, and took much pains in improving the place by cutting the jungle, making gardens, looking after the Bhog or sacred food of the idol, and taking care of the pilgrims who visit the hills periodically. This procured him the respect of the mother of the late Maharaja of Dhenkanal, who supplied his food. He gradually succeeded in securing the respect of the people of the surrounding villages, and the popular belief was that he was in secret communion with the idol and could successfully intercede with it on behalf of its votaries. The currency of this belief was further facilitated by the fact of his taking special care of the sick people who resorted to Kapilés for the benefit of their health, and very generally succeeded in getting it restored, and his visiting the temple at the dead of night while every one had retired to rest. “3. After thus remaining at Kapilas for several years, and finding that he had sufficiently established his reputation and secured the respect of the people, Mukund Das left the place and began to preach that Mahddev and the other idols worshipped by the Hindus were nothing else but stone and wood, and that the worship of these destructible articles was useless and of no avail, that the Creator of the universe was Alekh or Mahima (which literally means ‘ glorious’) a spiritual Being without form, omnipresent and omniscient, and that he alone could hold communion with him and get his prayers granted. He eschewed his kaupin (waist cloth) and kanthi (wooden beads worn round the neck), the two distinctive features in the raiment of a Vaishnava, and wore kumbhipat (the bark of a tree called kumbhi) to cover his nakedness. “4. From Kapilas, Mukund Das went to Puri, where he remained for some time in a hut on the sands near the temple of,Lokanath Mahadev. . He next came to Daruteng in the Government state of Khorda in Puri where he built a tungi (a place of worship), and commenced to propagate the new doctrine. It was at this place that Mukund Das was deified and began to be addressed as the Mahim4 Gosain. It appears that one Gobind — Das was his first, and Narsing Das his second disciple ; others followed their example, and in course of time all these followers dispersed on all sides for 4 On a sect of Hindu Dissenters. [ Jan. the propagation of the new doctrine; shortly after a place of worship was established at Malbeharpur in Kellah Banky; other places were opened in some of the remaining Tributary States as well as in Sambalpur, Puri and Cuttack. At some of these places of worship, the Mahima Gosain gave large feasts, which were numerously attended. In 1875 in the month of Kartic on the day of the full moon, a fair was held at Jacka in Dhen- kanal, where a large number of the followers of the Gosain assembled with rich presents including valuable clothes, silver utensils, &c. It is said that the Babaji, or Swami as he was also addressed, offered these presents to the late Maharaja of Dhenkanal, and on his declining to accept them they were openly burnt in the fire of the sacred Dhuni (fire kept up by religious mendicants). Thus in afew years the Mahima Gosain succeeded in making many disciples and followers, and on the days of the full moon thousands of men and women from distant parts of the country might have been seen wending their way to the tungis, with bangy loads of ghee, sugar and other valuable presents. It is said that at present the new faith is more popular in Sambalpur than in any other district. It is confined mostly to the ignorant and illiterate people of the lower classes of the Hindu community, who were, it is said, induced to adopt the new religion by hopes of enjoyment if they followed, and threats of perdition if they did not follow, its precepts. “5. The disciples of the Mahima Swami inculeate self-denial and re- signation to God as the sources of salvation ; they do not aspire after worldly greatness or pleasure; extreme humility is one of their characteristics. They have no prescribed mode of worship except praise of God and prayer for His mercy. They recognise the Bhagavata, one of the religious books of the Hindus, but interpret it in a different way from the Hindus. They have a. Malika, or book of predictions, which treats of the incarnation of Alekh in the shape of Mahima Swami to redeem the world from sin and to indicate the way to salvation. Besides this they have got another book containing songs and dialogues interpreting the truth of Alekh. Most of these songs, &c., are said to have been composed by Bhima Bhoi, a Khond, who is said to have been born blind, and afterwards endowed with sight by the Mahima Swami. “6. The following extract from the report of the Manager of Dhen- kanal throws some light on the real sentiments of the SwAémi. | “1~” in length by zJ55” in width.

THomas, This paper will be published in the Journal, Part I. 5. Notes on the Singpho and Kampti country, North-Eastern Frontier — By Cuas. H. Lepper, F. R. G.S., M. R. A. S. (vide Map.) General Walker has desired me to write a short paper on the tract of country beyond our extreme North-Eastern Frontier, the tract between — us and China, about which so little is known, in fact I may almost say — about which nothing more is known than was brought to ight by Wilcox more than fifty years ago. Even that indomitable and admirably correct — explorer had to leave a strip of country between us and China totally un-— visited and unreported upon. Having in those days to start from a point much further within our frontier than would be necessary now-a-days, he and his party were tired out and at the end of their energies and supplies - before getting more than half-way between our present frontier and China, and felt obliged to return. Since his time we have got, literally speaking, : | | | : = oeiien ¥ " lt oe - “% x - ‘1882. C. H. Lepper—The Singpho and Kampti Country. 65 ‘fo further in our knowledge of the country beyond our frontier. In the nth century we had a factory at old Bhamo, a few miles to the : east of present Bhamo, and it is only natural to suppose that the Euro- peans then residing at old Bhamo knew at least as much if not more of ‘the country north and west of their settlement than we do now. ____ For many years I have been occupying my leisure by collecting all , the information I could of this exceedingly interesting tract, and have frequently made little excursions across the frontier. But this last cold season I had the great good fortune of having as my companion a gentle- i man whose name from political reasons I am not permitted to mention, but y vhom you will immediately recognize under the initials A.D. Having in him all the information extant on the China side of this tract I was able to ask the people we met such questions as would tend towards obtaining Z Darrect information, as we thus had the means of checking some of the statements made us. a To take up the geographical points first, I will condense into as few words as possible the most important details we collected. We knew from Wileox’s account, which we had with us for reference, the countr y up to ~Manchi and the Nam Kin branch of the Irrawaddi. To fix this extreme point of our knowledge from the west, I had better state that Wilcox gives from “several observations” the latitude of Manchi (it should be spelt Man Khi) as 27° 29’ 165: he does not give its longitude unfortunately. ‘The latitude of Sadiya, our present outpost, is I believe given as 27° 49’ 44” and longitude 95° 43’ 6”. We may take then Man Khias roughly speak- ‘ing about 20’ to the south and 2° to the east of Sadiya. On Wilcox’s map of his trip is traced the upper portion of a river to the east of the Nam Kin and running for some distance almost parallel to the Nam Kin 2 viz, north and south. He marks this the Nam Disang (nam = river in 4 ‘Kampti as in Siamese, sometimes inenam): we heard it also called the Khan _ Kha (kha = river in Singpho) by the Singphos. This river was described to us from drawings on the sand as joining the Nam Kin by taking a somewhat sudden bend at no great distance below the entry of the Sit Kha into the Nam Kin. Between these two rivers, and north of the latitude of Man Khi, live the Khannungs, a distinct people, very quiet, and rather skilful workers in metal: these are the makers of the best Kampti daos. Below these and still between the two rivers Nam Kin and Khan Kha or Nam Disang is the Dooling clan of Singphos, belonging to the Kaku division of Singphos. ; In one of Wilson’s maps, again,.a trace of which Ihave, he shows ‘a short trace of a river to the north east of MA4n Khi and beyond the Khan Kha or Nam Disang. On another map published in 1828 by Wileox I see he has, from hearsay or by guess, prolonged this little bit down till it joins 66 C. H. Lepper—The Singpho and Kampti Country. [Marcu , the Irrawaddi a little above the 25th parallel of latitude, and calls it the Shoomaee. In his letter-press he gives its different names as being Shumai Kha, Pongmai, or Sinmai Kha. I heard it called Phongmai by the Singphos, Nam Kin lung (big Nam Kin by the Kamptis) and in an old map published at the Surveyor General’s Office I see it called the Seng Kha. Now this latter name is important, perhaps, as it bears a significant resemblance to — the Song "ga Kin of Thibet. The Song "ga Kinin Thibet passes the village ~ of Song ga kin Dzong, which is:somewhere on or about 28°30’ of latitude, and runs in a direction which leads one again to suppose that the Song "ga Kin and the Seng Kha are one, apart from the resemblance of name. Then again the Seng Kha or Phongmai, or Shumaior Sinmai, having been described to us as the Nam Kin lung, 7. e., the big Nam Kin, pointsto its being bigger than the Nam Kin, at the same latitude as Man Khi, z. e., before the latter — had received the waters of the Nam Lang, and Sit Kha, western tributaries, — and the Khan Kha its eastern tributary. This would be quite consistent with its greater length and yet would be consistent with the statements of Major Sandeman’s surveyor, who makes the eastern branch of the Irrawad- di above Maing na as smaller than the western, the western (¢. e., Nam Kin) having before this latter point received the tributaries Nam Lang and Sit Kha, and Khan Kha or Nam Disang, Dr. Clements Williams put the junction of the two Nam Kins (let me so call them to speak in one language at a time) at a place called Mainla about 26° N. lat. This Mainla is evidently the Maing na of Major Sandeman’s surveyor, which is given as 16 miles north of Kacho, and the latter place is given as latitude 25° 6’. His “ eastern branch” must be the Nam Kin Lung, as we know it cannot enter the Irrawaddi lower down, as the surveyor must have noticed its mouth, and it cannot have passed across Capt. Gill’s route without his having entered it, unless it could be either the Shué li, the Taping, or the Nampoung, which is not to be seriously considered. If this reasoning be correct we must make the Khan Kha or Nam © Disang join the Nam Kin shortly below the mouth of the Sit Kha, as there is no room for it much lower. down, and this again quite agrees with the accounts I have brought back, and already stated above. The Nam Kin at — about the latitude of Man Khi is not more than 80 yards wide and fordable — even when swollen by the melting snows, according to Wilcox. The Khan — Kha is said to be much the same size by the Singphos, but I have my doubts on that point. I think we can now accept the Nam Kin lung or Phongmai Kha as the real source-stream of the Irrawaddi ; and if the Song "ga Kin and Seng Kha are one, then the Song "ga Kin and our Nam Kin lung or Phongmai are — therefore one: in that case the Irrawaddi rises in Thibet above the 30° of N. latitude, and I think we may claim this as a reasonable solution of the Irrawaddi problem. 1882. | C. H. Lepper—Zhe Singpho and Kampti Country. 67 Let me next take up the people inhabiting this tract. Between these two important streams the Nam Kin and the Phongmai or Nam Kin lung, or may I say the Irrawaddi “ proper,” and from their junction to about the latitude of the junction of the Sit Kha with the Nam Kin are the Laphais a Singpho clan, represented to me as being quiet people and “ zemindars,”’ 7. e., probably cultivators: they also extend east of the Irrawaddi “ proper” to the mountains bordering quasi Chinese territory, 7. e., to the country inhabited by the Latongs, also a Singpho clan, which from enquiries we are able to recognize as the Lissous of our best authority on the coun- try on the Chinese side viz., A.D. We therefore meet China on known ground here. North of the Laphais and between the Nam Kin and the Irrawaddi “proper” are the »¢ Kumsangs another Singpho clan. These extend again east as far as the Latongs or Lissous. We meet China here again. North of the »¢ Kumsangs, and between the Nam Kin and Irrawaddi “ proper” are the Murans, another Singpho clan, but these do not, it is said, pass the Irrawaddi “‘ proper’ to its east. These Murans are interesting as being the parent stock of the Muran or Muttocks of the Lackimpur District of Assam, and are said to be a section of the Loosoo or Lissou clan of A. D., but this dates from 800 years ago. The word “ Muttuck”’ signifies ‘‘capable of resistance,’’ and was given them by the Kamptis and Singphos in contradistinction to the other Assamese who were termed Mooloons, and who were taken as slaves. The equivalents for ‘‘ Muttuck” and “ Mooloon” are given as ‘“sukut” and “nurum.” They are now, these same Muttucks, probably the most effete and slothful people in existence. North of the Murans and still between the Nam Kin and the Irra- waddi “ proper,” at the foot of the Himalayas and about the eastern source of the Khan Kha or Nam Disang, are the Maruv, a distinct tribe, who are described as a quiet inoffensive people. They must be a very small body judging from the space allowed them. ‘They are said not to pass the Khan Kha or Nam Disang to the west, nor the Irrawaddi “ proper” to the east. Coming back to the country north of the » Kumsangs, on the east bank of the Irrawaddi “proper,” we have the Mussu Tchi Keyt clan of Singphos, and east of these again the Dainu Tribe, a distinct people. ‘These are on the western slope of the range of mountains bordering the Lutze Tribe of A. D. We therefore meet China again here. But between the Mussu Tchi Keyt clan and the Dainu Tribe in the Terai there is the Dgi Tribe and these extend north up into the Hills. Possibly these may be the Didju Tribe of A. D., as they are about where he places that tribe, though on this point I have only the similarity in name and situation to go upon, 68 C. H. Lepper—TZhe Singpho and Kampti Oountry. | [Maron, — Thus from the Thibetan Frontier in the north down to already de- scribed country in the south we have now been able to fill in the clans and tribes between our frontier and China, and of these it is satisfactory to learn that the majority are described as very quiet people, and those, v2z., the Lissus, who are from native sources described as the worst, are described by A. D. as being well disposed to Huropeans, though subject enough to disputes amongst themselves. It is seen from the above what a very small area is allotted to the Kamptis of Bor Kampti visited by Wilcox over 50 years ago. They may be said to be contained in the basin between the Nam Lang and the Nam Kin, a few detached villages being found scattered along the river banks, a little to the north of Kacho, by Major Sandeman’s surveyor. The clan of Kamptis that was in power in Wilcox’s time in Bor Kampti, viz. the Lung Kins, have been expelled by the other Kampti clan called Luk Khun, and their town Kallang of Wilcox’s map destroyed. Of those that escaped of the Lung Kins some went south down the Nam Kin, others are settled along the Tenga Pani, and near the mouth of the Noa Dehing in our territory. This exodus occurred about 30 years ago. They left none of their clan behind them except the orphans of the slain that were too young to march. ‘There are several khéls or small clans amongst the Kamptis. These Kamptis in our territory have still a greater respect for Burmah than for us, and imagine Burmah stronger than we are. I met two Burmese, I firmly believe officials, amongst them. They send presents to the Burmese kings, having to send them through British coun- try to do so. The Kamptis of Bor Kampti also send presents as tribute once in about three years to Burmah. Looking at the Kamptis from a China route point of view they can be perfectly ignored by passing to the south and round them. In any ease they would do nothing but offer passive resistance. But as, owing to the jealousies existing between the Kamptis and Singphos, it would be impoli- tic to have a mixed following of Kampti and Singpho guides, and as Kampti guides alone could not lead an explorer to China, and Singpho guides properly selected from the different Singpho clans could do so, it is easily seen of how little importance to us any kind of feeling towards us — on the part of the Kamptis need be. The Kampti language is undoubtedly a patois of Siamese as is easily detected by a. glance at a comparative vocabulary. They use characters almost identical in general appearance with those of Burmah, but having a difference in value and pronunciation. As regards the Singpho language, this seems, after 2 comparison I have made with some 14 languages of these parts (vocabularies of which I have already collected, with hopes of adding some 14 to 16 more to their number), to be a distinct language. It is : 1882. ] C. H. Lepper—The Singpho and Kampti Country. 69 true I can find words quite similar and of the same meaning in several of the other frontier languages, but these few are so very rare out of a good number, that they can only be called coincidences, and they tend to make the differences all the more marked. There is one conincidence, however, of sufficient interest to mention, vzz., the word for the numeral jive ; this _ in Singpho is mungar, in Munipuri is munga, in Kuki Lushai is punga, -in Angami Naga is pengu. Both the Kamptis and Singphos belong to the Thibeto-Burmah non- Aryan division. There has possibly been too great a tendency to mark down new lan- guages on this frontier amongst philologists, and from a letter I have just received from Mr. Sam. Peal I find he is of the same opinion as myself, I cannot do better than quote his letter which explains the case admirably in a few words; he says “I may tell you at once, however, that there is no hard and fast boundary for the Naga dialects this side any more than for the Irish brogue at home ; contiguous tribes (of Nagas) generally con- verse easily and it becomes more difficult with distance. ‘The Philologists at home make this mistake. It is, however, not so much a dialectic varia- tion as that actual words do change radically with the distance, the per- centage increasing with it.” Of course here we only speak of languages belonging to individual races, which languages are subject to much change in themselves, sufficient to give rise to the error of classing them as distinct patois or languages instead of as blended patois. | The Singpho language is perfectly distinct from the Kampti or as we might call it that Siamese patois spoken by the Kamptis. This Singpho language is not purely monosyllabic though nearly so and has no tones @ la Chinoise so far as I have gone into it at present. The Kampti patois is on the other hand apparently monosyllabic and has got tones a Ja Chinoise. The Singphos were originally all one people, but some time back split up into two great divisions, say the Hastern and the Western, called Kakus and Ts’Sans. This localisation, vez. Eastern and Western, is only fit for general application, as families and villages of either may be, and are fre- quently, found situated amongst families and villages of the other. Both have representative villages within our frontier. These divisions are subdivided into clans, and the clans into families, and the families again into villages, till the whole appears indeed a difficult problem to work out when an attempt is made to localize and distinguish them all. What adds to the confusion is that in Assamese they only use the word khél to describe both the clan and the family. Perhaps the most important clan of the Ts’San Division is the Ga Kieng (called by 70 C. H. Lepper—Zhe Singpho and Kampti Country. [Marcn, | travellers in Burmah Ka Kyungs, &c., &¢.) This clan is also called Dapha, from its having originally been located on the Dapha pani, a tributary of the Dehing a tributary again of the Brahmaputra within our frontier. Ga Kieng signifies red, and they are supposed to have got this name from the red colour of the soil near the Dapha: probably the red sandstone rocks about there gave the name. This clan is of course again divided into a lot of families and villages. Tke Kaku Division again claims several large clans such as the Laphais, Latangs or Lissous and »* Kumsangs, &. The Kaku division is found chiefly in the trans Nam Kin country and the T's’San division on this side of the Nam Kin, in the Hokong valley, and between the Irrawaddi and the Kandywen. A’ propos of the Lissous, although they actually pay tribute to China, @. e., those of them immediately adjacent to China, they are not allowed at Pekin to be in existence, nor their name to appear on the Chinese maps, but this is an interesting detail which it would take too long to relate here. The Singphos pay tribute to nobody, neither to Burmah nor to China, thus forming a neutral ground between usand China. All these tracts, espe- cially towards the south and south-west and those in the further west of our frontier station Sadiya, are extremely rich in the precious metals, and the amber mines of Hokong, only a few days’ journey from our frontier, are famous. Serpentine, jade, salt and other valuable minerals, as well as precious stones, are found in these tracts in no insignificant quantities. The Chinese come a long way towards us, in the country just below the junction of the Nam Kin and the Irrawaddi “ proper,” ¢. e., on the neutral ground referred to, for trading purposes, and there used to be large settle- ments of them even on this side of the Irrawaddi. This seems to point very distinctly to the easy opening of trade communications with China on this neutral ground, seeing that the Singphos would welcome us gladly if properly treated in the first instance. As regards our actual distance from the Chinese frontier, if we put the extreme point of our further line at about 70 miles east of Sadiya, then we cannot be more than 80 miles from the limit where Chinese in- fluence commences or their “ outer line” must be, which latter follows the range of mountains on the right bank of the Saluen or Loutze Kiang (river of the Loutzes). This 80 miles contains more of interest in itself than is easily explained in a short paper of this nature, but time and space do not allow me to deal, but in a most general way, with a subject that might fill volumes before being exhausted. General WALKER remarked that, in the absence of actual survey opera- tions, geographers had much reason to be indebted to gentlemen—as Mr, Lepper, and our friend A, D. to whom we are already indebted for previous 1882. ] J. Cockburn—Abnormality in horns of Hog-deer. 71 communications—who, while residing in the neighbourhood of any region _ which has not yet been explored by Europeans and is still a terra incognita to the world at large, devote themselves to enquiries regarding its inhabi- tants, their actual subdivisions, and the general run of the rivers and mountain ranges which separate them from each other and from the outer world. In this way the broad facts of the geography of the country be- come elicited even without actual survey. The information now furnished by Mr Lepper and A.

On the other hand we have already learnt from A.D. that the Salwin river—which may be regarded as a sister to the _ Irrawaddy, the two flowing parallel to each other for a considerable dis- _ tance, and eventually entering the same ocean—takes its rise in the great plateau of eastern Thibet, probably about the parallel of 32,° and very considerably to the north of the sources of the Irrawaddy, ‘This is a fact of considerable geographical importance, of which we might long have remained in ignorance but for these communications. 6. On an abnormality in the horns of the Hog-deer, Hyelaphus porcinus, Zim, with a theory on the Evolution of Antlers in Lhuminants.—By JOHN COCKBURN, (Abstract.) The abnormality which was unilateral was described and attributed to _ reversion to an ancestor of both Rwsinae and Hlaphine, The arguments for and against this decision were then discussed. Mr. Cockburn alluded to Prof. Garrod’s theory of development from a typical antler which might be described as a bifurcate beam with a brow antler at the basal portion. The author regards this typical antler as already a complex organ, in- asmuch as certain existing species of deer show a far more elementary type, Cervulus and Coassus rufus for example, the horns of the latter animal never proceeding beyond the condition of a simple spike. The important fact that the antlers of all ruminants exhibit the ele- - mentary character of a simple spike in the first year’s growth has caused the author to assume as a hypothesis that the development of the antlers of individual species of Cervinae is a recapitulation of the history of the development of antlers in the group. ‘The details of the theory are then - explained and Prof, Boyd Dawkin’s latest researches alluded to. a 72 Library.

Peterson had completed their audit of the Society’s Accounts and furnished a report. A vote of thanks was passed to the Auditors. The Covuncin recommended that the Society should subscribe Rs. 50 to the fund now being raised for a Memorial for Mr. L. Schwendler at the Zoological Gardens. The recommendation was approved. THe Presipenr said the Governor of Hongkong, whom he had brought to the meeting, possessed a very rare Chinese Bank note which he would be kind enough to show to the Society. Str Pore Hennessy, in laying the note upon the table, reminded the members that in the 2nd Book of Marco Polo’s travels is a chapter entitled “ How the great Kaan causeth the bark of trees, made into something like paper, to pass for money over all his country.” Marco Polo describes those bank notes as something resembling sheets of paper but black and of different sizes. He says they are made from the bark of the mulberry tree. Four hundred years after Marco Polo wrote, the accuracy of his work was questioned on this very ground, it being imagined that the Chinese could not possibly have had paper money at a time when paper money was unknown in Europe. None of the notes seen by Marco Polo in the thirteenth century appears to have been preserved, but a few notes of the fourteenth century are in existence, of which this is one. Col. Yule in his edition of Marco Polo says, “I have never heard of the preservation of any note of the Mongols; but some of the Ming dynasty survive and are highly valued as curiosities in China. The late Sir George Staunton appears to have possessed one ; Dr. Lockhart formerly had two, of which he gave one to Sir Harry Parkes, and retains the other. The paper is so dark as to explain Marco’s description of it as black. By Dr. Lockhart’s kindness I am enabled to give (says Col. Yule) a reduced representation of this note, as near a facsimile as we have been able to render it, but with some restoration, e. g., the seals of which in the original there is the barest indication remaining.” A faesimile of the note exhibited to the Society has been made by the Lithographic Branch of the Surveyor General’s Office and will be issued with the Proceedings for April. On comparing the original with the engraving in Col. Yule’s edition it was seen to be twice the length and breadth of the latter, of a darker shade and with some variation in the conventional ornamentation. The Plate annexed is as close a facsimile as was possible under the eircumstances, The upper line of Chinese characters on the bank note ~ + ow 78 General Walker—Ervor in Spirit-levelling operations.

Yule was under a misapprehension in thinking Sir Harry Parkes. was one of those who possessed a copy of these rare notes. Sir Thomas Wade the present British Minister in Peking, on being shown this note, — also said it was the only one of the Ming dynasty he had ever seen. r In reply to questions asked by some of the members, Sir Pope Hennessy explained that the note was “valued for one thousand,” that is, 1000 cash, or one dollar. It bore the seals of the revenue officials, and appeared to be of Imperial currency as distinguished from the local or provincial paper money now used in some parts of China. The inscription on it denoted that any one convicted of forging the note would be punished by decapitation and any informer would receive a reward. This — copy was got from the Chinese a few years ago by a European official of the Customs service who was well known as a collector of Chinese coins and _old books, and on whose death in 1878 it was soldin Hongkong. His collection of Chinese coins* was purchased by the Japanese Government. © The note appeared to be printed from a block. The seals, of which a slight vermillion impression was visible, were similar to those now in use 7 on official documents. | The following papers were read :— 1. The Spirit-Levelling Operations executed in connection with the Tidal Observations of the Indian Survey Department.—By Lievt.-GENERAL J.T. Waker, C. B., F. R.8., Surveyor- General of India. | The tidal stations a Madras and Bombay have now been connected by a line of spirit-levels carried directly across the peninsula, for the most part in the vicinity of the line of railway. The mean-sea level has been — determined very approximately at each of the two tidal stations, and it would appear from the spirit-levelling operations that the mean-sea level is about 8 feet higher at Madras than at Bombay. That there are variations — in the general level of the surface of the ocean at different places, so that, — if compared with the surface of the spheroid or other geometrical figure — which most closely corresponds to the figure of the earth, the surface of the ocean will in some places be above and in other places below that of — the figure, is probable enough; and indeed this must certainly happen, — whenever the attractive influences of mountains and other irregularities of the earth’s surface on the waters of the ocean are not counteracted by deficiencies of density in the strata below the elevated masses. But as the surface of the ocean is everywhere maintained in equilibrium, there can be — | no flow of water from one point to another ; thus there can be no sensible — differences of level, though some points on the surface may be materially 2 1882. ] General Walker—LError in Spirit-levelling operations. 79 higher than other points, as referred to a hypothetical geometrical surface, or, say, to the earth’s centre. The differences of height, however con- siderable, must be insensible, because they cannot be measured by instru- mental means; for the causes by which they would be produced must equally affect both the spirit-levels of the instruments and the water-levels _ of the ocean, whenever both are subjected alike to the same influences. Thus if in the present instance the spirit-levels had been carried, without error, along the coast line, from Bombay round wid Cape Comorin to Madras, they must have shown identity of méan-sea level at Bombay and _ Madras, just as has been met with in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean on opposite sides of the Isthmus of Suez, and in the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, on opposite sides of the Isthmus of Panama. And this identity would be obtained even if there were actually a considerable difference of height, as is very possible ; for the Western Ghats, and the generally greater elevation of the western as compared with the eastern half of the peninsula, are sources of attraction which, if not counteracted, must raise the mean-sea level at Bombay no less than 31 feet (as computed by Mr. Hennessey) above the mean-sea level at Madras. ‘The spirit-levels, however, were taken across the continent and not along the coast-line; they were carried from Bombay up the short and abrupt ascent to the crest of the Western Ghats, and then down the long and gentle decline to the east coast. Thus, while subject to the same general attractive influence of the continental masses as the ocean levels, they are also subject to the more proximate influences of local irregularities in the configuration of the ground passed over. The closing discrepancy of - 3 feet at Madras is materially greater—both absolutely, and relatively to ‘the distance levelled from Bombay—than any error previously met in the course of the levelling operations of this survey, which have been carried over many thousand miles and tested at a number of closing points and junctions of circuits, and have been conducted with special precautions to guard against errors of all kinds, whether accidental or cumulative. More- over, a very similar discrepancy, almost identical in sign and magnitude, is stated to have been met with at the close of the railway levels between Madras and Bombay. Thus it has been surmised that the dis- crepancy may be due to the proximate and local attractions of the hills and table-lands over which the lines of level were carried, and which must exercise some influence on the instrumental levels, over and beyond the general influence that is exerted alike on both the instrumental and the ocean levels. Problems of this nature have been investigated mathemati- eally by Colonel A. R. Clarke, C. B., R. E., and formule for their calcula- tion are given in his recent valuable treatise on Geodesy. Mr. Hennessey has calculated the attractions with these formule, making such assump- 80 General Walker—Zrror in Spirit-levelling operations. [APRm, tions as regards the general configuration of the ground levelled over as appeared to be most reasonable and probable ; and he has arrived at the conclusion that the levelling operations cannot have been influenced by the proximate and local attractions experienced on the line of operation to anything like the amount of the discrepancy met with. } Thus the discrepancy is possibly due chiefly to error in the levelling operations. As the most probable locus of such error was believed to lie in the section over the Ghats, where the ascents were very steep and the staves were sometimes so close to the levelling instrument that the foot- marks could not be seen in the field of the telescope, that section was — re-levelled ; but the results of the two measurements were identical. And indeed it seems highly improbable that the discrepancy can be due to any accidental gross errors, seeing the special precautions which have been taken—by the employment of independent operators and instruments, and the use of double-faced staves—to guard against such errors. But it has long been known that all spirit-levelling operations are — liable to an accumulation of small errors which, though individually so minute as to be barely appreciable at any single station where the instru- ment is set up, have a tendency to be repeated at successive stations, and may therefore attain a considerable magnitude at the end of a long line of levels, In the operations of this Survey it is customary to guard, as much as possible, against such errors by various expedients,—such as observing the back staff first at one station and the forward staff first at the next, alternating the direction of operation on successive days, or at least executing half the work ‘of a field season in the direction of the terminus and the other half in that of the origin ; invariably setting up the staves — at equal distances from the instrument at every station; and tilting the instrument occasionally, to guard against the heating influence of the sun —or the cooling influence of winds—acting on one side more than another, and causing dislevelments which would be frequently repeated if not coun- teracted, and thus create an accumulation of error. ‘There is, however, a — liability to personal misapprehension in reading the bubble of the spirit-_ level which may tend to produce a considerable accumulation of error on lines of which the general direction is either towards the sun or opposite to the sun. Owing to the level being placed above the telescope, the — observer gets a side view of the bubble, refracted obliquely through the — thickness of the glass tube, which is not so sharply defined as the look- down view from above, The rim round the bubble, caused by the adhesion of the liquid to the sides of the tube, becomes so prominent that its extremities may be observed instead of those of the bubble. When light falls obliquely and not vertically on the instrument, and either end of the telescope is pointed towards the light, the outer-edge of the rim at the end --1882.] General Walker—Zrvror in Sprrit-levelling operations. 81 of the bubble towards the light is more clearly defined than the inner, while at the opposite end of the bubble the inner-edge of the rim is more clearly defined than the outer. Consequently there is a tendency to assume the instrument to be level when in reality the end towards the light is depressed ; and though this tendency would probably vary in magnitude with different observers, it is likely to affect all persons more or less. Obviously it is uninfluenced by reversing the direction of operation, though it disappears whenever the direction is at right angles to that of the light. This personal error in reading the spirit-level and setting the instru- ment would obviously produce a maximum effect on lines of which the general direction is meridional, when the operations are carried on equally before and after noon ; when carried on between sunrise and midday, as is more usual in this country, the direction of the line of maximum effect would be south-east by north-west. The result would be apparently to raise the southern stations relatively to the northern ones. Now this has been found to occur in a greater or less degree in all our lines of levels connecting tidal stations, and not only on the direct line from Bony to Madras,—to the following extent in each instance :— (1) From the mean sea level of the tidal station of Okha, at the entrance to the Gulf of Cutch, to that of Bombay, there is an apparent rise of ‘33 feet, length of line 580 miles. (2) From the mean sea level of Bombay to that of Karwar, there is an apparent rise of ‘93 feet ; length of line 530 miles. (3) From the mean sea level of Karwar to that of Madras, there is an apparent rise of ‘92 feet; length of line 560 miles. The apparent rise of 3 feet at Madras as compared with Bombay was generated on a line of 730 miles in length; it is thus materially greater in proportion to the length of line traversed than the discrepancies met with on the three other lines. But as all the discrepancies are in the same direction, and all agree in raising the southern points relatively to the northern, it appears possible that all the operations may have been in- fluenced by oblique illumination of the bubbles of the spirit-levels. It is to be noted that Madras is meridionally 400 miles to the south of Bombay, and that an error of level adjustment amounting in arc to only 12, and recurring with the same sign at only one-fourth of the stations at which the instruments were set up—the operations being otherwise errorless— would produce a discrepancy of the magnitude which has been met with. It has been considered desirable to enter very fully into the matter of this discrepancy, because long lines of level so frequently close without any appreciable error that disappointment may naturally be felt at the occur- rence of so large a discrepancy as this, and the re-levelling of the entire line may be considered desirable, But the weakest section has already been 82 General Walker—Error in Spirit-levelling operations. [APRIL re-levelled and no error has been detected in it, and this would probably be also found to happen in all the other sections. It is to be remembered that to whatever extent the levels already taken may be influenced by variation of local attraction, or by oblique instrumental illumination, a second mea- surement over the same ground would be influenced to exactly the same extent by the first cause and somewhat similarly by the second, and there fore would probably close with a similar discrepancy. In the general reduction of the spirit-levelling operations it will | assumed that the mean sea level, as determined at each tidal station, is th he datum to which the spirit-levels should be referred in each instance. Any discrepancies which may be met with on closing a line at a tidal station will be dispersed over the line and treated as errors generated in the level- ling operaticns. a 2.

Obverse : standing figure of king; legend, under the arm, skanda ; marginal legend wornaway. Reverse: female figure seated on lotus ; legend, scarcely legible: S’r¢ Skanda Gupta(?). ‘The legend under the arm might be Chan- dra; in which case the coin would be one of Chandra Gupta II. IiI. Unknown. In general appearance it much resembles the Gupta coins. Obverse : Walking elephant, mounted by two persons, viz., king on the neck, carrying ankus ; behind him, on the back of the elephant, an attendant holding astate umbrella over the king, with long pennant attached to umbrella. Around the whole margin a long inscription in Gupta characters, most of which are half worn away. Reverse: Nude, bejewelled female figure standing to front, on a lotus, with halo round the head, right forearm upturned, holding some indistinguishable object, left hand placed on hip and holding appa- rently a lotus or cornucopia; round her shoulders and dependant on both sides a long scarf ; by side of right foot of female figure, the conventional sign of a chetiya, placed on edge, 7. e., with its base parallel to the leg of the figure; on left of figure, something resembling a conch-shell (or per- haps a bodhi-tree). A circle of dots round the margin. To left of figure a short, partly illegible, inscription in Gupta characters ; only ja or perhaps raja can be read. The outline of the female figure differs somewhat from that on the ordinary Gupta coins; it is shorter and stouter and resembles the corresponding figures on the later Indo-Seythian coins, Impressions 92 Dr. Mollendorff—New Asiatic Clausilize.

This paper consists of 64 songs and catches popularly sung in the Panjab, especially in Kangra and Chamba, treated from a_ philological point of view. The language of some of them is Hindi, but most of them are in the current village Panjabi of the day. The language of those from Kangra and Chamba does not differ in the main from that of the songs from the plains of the Panjab. Lieut. Temple has divided the songs into classes according to the following subjects: (1) Religion, (2) Religious Customs, (3) Love, (4) Marriage, (5) Home Customs, (6) Nursery Rhymail (7) Localities, (8) Riddles and facetiz, and (9) Politics, q This paper will be published in the Journal, Part I, for 1882. ‘i 1882. | J.

(Abstract. ) Hitherto only two dialects of the Bihari language have been thorough- ly investigated and each of these in one special form. These two dialects are—the Bhojpuri as spoken near Benares, treated of by Dr. A. F. Rudolf Hoernle in his “ Comparative Grammar of the Gaudian Languages” and the Maithili, the standard dialect of the centre of Mithila, investigated by ‘Mr. G. A. Grierson in his “ Maithili Grammar.” The Magadhi dialect has not been treated of in any form, but it is a very interesting subject for study as showing the stepping-stone between the somewhat archaic forms contained in standard Maithili, and the more phonetically attrited forms found in Bhojpuri, The author’s object in these essays is to bring to a common focus all the information which he has collected concerning the dialects of Bihar. The dialects mainly treated of are the following :— A. Bhojptri, spoken in Western Bihar. B. Magadhi, spoken in South Bihar. C. Maithili, spoken in North-East Bihar. Of the last, there are two sub-dialects : (1.) North Maithili of North Tirhut and Bhagulpur. (2.) South Maithili of South Tirhut and North Munger. Besides these, the dialects of language border lands have been consi- dered, v2z., (A.) The Baiswari of the Ramayana of Tulsi Das, which is the border dialect between Bihari (Bhojptrf) and Hindi ; (B.) The dialects of the border land between Bihari (Maithili) and Bengali. , This paper will be published in Journal, Part I, for 1882. 8. Notes on Buddhist Sculptures with reference to the handling of Celts and other weapons.—By JoHN COCKBURN. (Abstract.) - This paper gives a new interpretation of Pl. XXXII of Fergusson’s ‘Tree and Serpent Worship,’ which is a representation of the 3rd bas-re- lief from the top on the inner face of the left hand pillar of the eastern gateway, Plate XIV. Mr. Fergusson explains the sculpture as represent- ing a family of Dasyus following their usual avocations. Mr. Cockburn is of opinion that it is intended to represent the workshop of a Bronze Smith of the period, and shows how all the different figures are consistent with this explanation. In the plate there are two men on the right, who, both in Mr. Fergusson’s and in Mr, Cockburn’s interpretation, are taken 96 Library. [May & " . to be cleaving wood with axes, the heads of the axes being tied on to the shafts with cross ligatures. Mr. Cockburn discusses the question why a an age of considerable mechanical ability the men of the bronze age d did not cut their axes with a transverse hole through which the handle might pass. He concludes that this arose neither from a want of the requis tg skill nor for want of a proper conception of the pattern, but simply io the fact that the eyeletted axe required a comparatively extravagant exper diture of metal, which, although not generally uncommon at the pe ‘oil indicated, would be so amongst the mixed aboriginal class, who were poor as a rule and possessed of the simplest implements procurable. To show that the people of this age were acquainted with the modern method of making the axe-head, Mr. Cockburn instances Plate XLIII, fig. 2, from the coping of the Bharhut stupa, where a hunter is represented bearing on his left shoulder an axe clearly of the eyeletted pattern, differing in no re- spect from the modern axe. The paper concludes with some remarks on the saw-like implement in Plate XXVI, fig. 6, of the Bharhut sculptures, and on the arrows of that period.

Dr. Hoernle—On a birch-bark Manuscript. 1111 lar Sanskrit. But in all probability it was current in the early centuries just before and after the commencement of the Christian era, as a literary or cultivated form of the ancient Vernacular Prakrit of North Western India, in the countries to the east and west of the Indus, till it came to _ be superseded by the classical Paninian Sanskrit. It is this language _ which is employed in the Bakhshali MS. It would be out of place here to enter into philological details; but I may mention that the language of the Ms. is marked by all the peculiarities in orthography, etymology, syntax, ete., of the so-called Gatha dialect. The evidence of the language, then, would tend to show that the work contained in the _ Bakhshali MS. must be ascribed, in all probability, to the earliest centuries of the Christian era, and further, since the Gathaé dialect has hitherto only been met with in Buddhist literature, to a member of the Buddhist community. If the latter supposition be correct, we should have in this MS. the first Buddhist Arithmetical work which, so far as I am aware, has hitherto become known. There are, further, some specific points in the work contained in the Bakhshahi MS. which tend to point to a peculiar connection between it and the mathematical portion of the Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta, the famous astronomical work of Brahmagupta, which was compiled in 628 A. D. _ Thus an algebraical rule in the MS. occurs in strikingly similar language in Brahmagupta’s algebra ; again the foreign terms dindra (Latin denarius) and dramma (Greek drachme) occur in both, ete. The mathematical trea- tise in the Bakhshali MS is undoubtedly older than that of Brahmagupta ; but what the exact connection between the two works may be, I am not as yet in a position to say. From the language, as already remarked, it would seem to follow that the Bakhshali MS. contains a Buddhist treatise on arithmetic. All these are points which require further investigation, in which I am still engaged, and the results of which I hope to have a - future opportunity of communicating to the Society. My present remarks are not intended to be more than a preliminary notice of the MS. In conclusion I will only repeat that the questions of the age of the MS. and of the work contained in it are entirely distinct ; and that the date of the work is certainly very much earlier than the MS. copy of which a fragment has been found. Lone Sa = Dr. Horrntez exhibited a number of coins and clay figures, found at Toomluk and forwarded for inspection by R. H. Wilson, Esq., Collector of Midnapur. Amongst them there was a gold coin about which the sub- divisional officer of Toomluk sends the following account : “This coin was accidentally discovered in a pit five feet below the sur- face of the ground at the village of Shaurpur in thana Dehra. The place 112 Coins found at Toomluk. a of discovery was formerly the bed of the Cossye river: close to it is a tank at the excavation of which wrecks of a boat were found at a great depth from the surface of the ground, thus clearly indicating that the Cossye overflowed over the site of the tank. The pit itself was originally dug for the making of bricks: afterwards the villagers used to take the fine sandy earth from the pit for plasteriug houses. Dinabandhoo Mitter caught sight one morning of a glittering substance attached to the side of the pit. He took it out and, examining, it found it to be a gold coin. He fancied it to be a Ramchundri mobur (a gold coin of the reign of Rama) and regularly worshipped it. The coin was discovered about the time of the Dussera in the Bengali year 1275. It came to the notice of the undersigned in March last and Dinabandhoo was disabused of his sc that it was a mohur of the reign of Rama. It is clearly a Greek coin.’ P With regard to the last statement, Dr. Hoernle remarked that it we a mistake. The coin is not a Greek, but a Gupta, coin of Kumara Gupta Obv. King on horseback.

Im- mediately preceding the word which he read as kshitipati, there were three letters the last of which was distinctly ja, and the whole of which he was inclined to read as S77/ raja, so that the whole legend would run: Syré raja eg sie rajati Vijaya among After Kumara there might in W * worn ; but no trace sf its letters remained. With regard to the figures Dr. Hoernle read the following note by Dr. R. Mitra: “As regards the terracotta figures the only one of interest is the female head with a profusion of ornaments. The ornaments are the counterparts of what we see on the Sanchi, Bharat and Buddha Gaya gateways, but quite unlike more recent sculptures. I am disposed there- fore to assign a Buddhist origin and very early date (aban the first three or four centuries of the Christian era) to the relics.” a Dr. Hoernle exhibited 10 silver coins, presented to the Society by J. W. Tawney, Esq., Deputy Commissioner of Chhindwara. He remarked ky the coins were of a well-known kind, and were variously called ‘‘ Saha” ‘“ Surdshtra” or “Satrap” coins. Similar coins (sent by Mr. Rivett- bth for inspection) have been before the Society not long ago, when they were described by Dr. R. Mitra. It would suffice therefore, this time, merely to state the names of the rulers to whom the present coins must be ascribed, and to refer to Prinsep’s Indian Antiquities and E. Thomas’s Dis- sertation in the Archeological Survey of Western India (pp. ard ff,) where they will be found fully described and figured. No. I are three coins of Rudra Sena the son of Viradama; see Indian Antiquities, Vol. II, p. 85, fig. 5. Two of them show faint nine whic General Cunningham reads as 187. No. II are three coins of Atriddma, the son of Rudra Sena ; see ii d., fig. 8. : No. III is a coin of Dama Jata Sri, the son of Rudra Sena.

The second means “ he who has got rid of concupiscence,” from rati “ concupiscence,” and mukta, “free from.” In the third the nasal is not an anusvara, but the nasal of the first group of letters ¢.” Mr. Cockzurn brought before the Society an interesting case of Poly- dactylism in a horse, observed by him in the streets of Calcutta. “The animal was a black pony about 11 hands high, with a second toe developed on each fore leg. The inner metacarpal of the manus, corre- sponding to digit number 2 of the typical mammalian five-fingered hand, bore a long supernumerary hoof, which must have interfered to some extent with the animal’s movements. He had ascertained by digital examination that the supernumerary digits were composed of the usual number of bones, viz., a proximal median and distal phalanx, and that the articulations possessed a certain amount of mobility. The hind limbs did not show any external indications of abnormal development. Unfortunately he could only make a very hurried examination, and has not been able to trace the animal since. “ Polydactylism in the horse would not appear to be of common occur- rence in India. Mr. Wood-Mason had previously recorded an instance in the Proceedings of the Society for January 1871, (page 18, plate I,) and the preparation described by him formed one of the most interesting objects in the Mammal Gallery of the Indian Museum. The development of the — existing Equines which are monodactyle out of polydactyle Hippotheroid ancestors is now as widely known as the Darwinian theory itself, and affords an excellent popular illustration of that theory. The researches of Professor Marsh in America had thrown much light on the subject. The extinct polydactyle Hippotheroids alluded to were Orohippus, Meohippus, Anchitherium and Hipparion, which formed a perfect gradation from a four toed to a single toed horse.” Mr. Wood-Mason remarked that this was a kind of monstrosity of which many instances had been brought forward, and the significance of which had been many years ago pointed out by himself, and since very fully explained by Professors Huxley and Marsh in connection with their re- searches in the Natural History of extinct Horses ; and that the present 116 G.

Note on the Pali ee Kachchayana.— By Urevt -Con. 4 G. E. Fryer, M. 8. C., Burma Commission. The Pali referred to in this paper is the language in which the sacred literature of the Buddhists of Burma and Ceylon is written.* It is found. inscribed on palm leaves in the characters of the vernacular speech peculia » to those countries. Madgadha-bhas4, or Mdgadhi, is the appellation givens to it by the native writers, who assert it to be the original language, as will be seen from the subjoined stanza from Rupasiddhi, II, 1, the authors f ship of which has hitherto been unknown: sa magadha-mutla-bhasé nara yay’ Adikappika brahmano ch’ assutalapa sambuddha chapi bhasare which may be rendered thus—“ that by which men of former ages, Brah. mas, and such as had never heard speech, expressed themselves, is the origine al Magadha language.’’ be With regard to the question what this Pali is, I cannot do better tha n refer to the remarks of that distinguished orientalist Dr. Muir, on thé 8 Pali, its early introduction into Ceylon, and its relations to Sanskrit and_ Prakrit, in the 2nd Volume of his Sanskrit texts, pp. 56-73, 104, 108, 109 (second edition). The use of the e for 0, peculiar to the dialect employed in the pillar inscriptions which resembles the Magadhi of Dhauli, is common to the Pali; for, in the 85th aphorism of chapter XX of the Sadda Niti, mention i is made of this peculiarity: thus, ti-lingato thane si-yonam e, “in the three genders e instead of s¢, yo,” z. é., in the nom. sing., and nom. ace. plural : as, * The word paii signifies a line or row: a sacred text. x > ' it?

Clough’s Gr., p. 15. Cowell, p. 180, aphorisms 10-18, chap. XI, Var.]. I think it may be affirmed that the Pali of Ceylon and Burma is the Br language Buddha used in Magadha; but, from having been arrested in its downward course, and preserved from the prevailing corrupting influences of vernacular use, it differs from the modern Magadhi, and from the dialect _ employed in the pillar inscriptions which resembles the Magadhi of Dhauli. There are extant in Burma and Ceylon several grammatical treatises upon the Pali language, which may be said to represent two different schools. The one is represented by the grammar of Kachchayana; the other by the grammar of Moggallana. Moggallana, the representative of the more modern schools, flourished in Ceylon during the reign of Prakrama Bahu I, ezrea 1153-1186 A. D. He was also the author of a Pali dictionary, or rather vocabulary, entitled the Abhidhana, after the model of the Sanskrit Amarakoga. On entering the priesthood, he dropped his patronymic, and. assumed the name of Sangharakkhita Thera, ‘ The Protected of the Congregation,’ under which title he wrote four treatises, the first two of which are in verse :—viz., Subodhalankara, ‘ Hasy rhetoric,’ Vuttodaya, ‘Exposition of Metre,’ Sambandhachinta, ‘ Reflections on relation (of cases), Khbuddasikkha tika, ‘a gloss in prose on Dhammasiri’s “ Minor duties (of a priest).” ’ He dedicates the last of these to the learned priest Sariputta, and the second to Sila Thera. They probably represent one and the same person. The treatises on Rhetoric and Metre are merely adaptations from Sanskrit works on the same subject, viz., Sahitya-Darpana aud Vrittaratnakara, and his grammar exhibits similar indications of having been formed upon a Sanskrit model. There are several points of difference, both in substance and arrange- ment, between this grammar and Kachchayana’s work ; for instance, Moggal- lana affirms that there are ten and not eight vowels in the Pali alphabet, thus increasing the number of the letters from forty-one to forty-three. Again, the book on case relation (karaka) is excluded from the grammar, and made the subject of a separate treatise. The grammar contains 1,043 aphorisms arranged under seven books as follows :— | 118 G. E. Fryer—TZhe Pali Grammarian Kachchdyana, [Ave, Name of Book.

It is called in Burma the eight. book-grammar of Maha Kissi, and contains 675 aphorisms. In his ‘ Kae c4yane Specimen,’ [Halle, 1869,] M. Kuhn inserts, between the 18th and 14th aphorisms in the third (Karaka) book, an additional one, and the Nydsa introduces into the Karaka book four others, all of which are represented in the Kéraka book of the Katantra, though none of them appear in Kachchayana, nor in any commentary upon it.

E. Fryer—The Pili Grammarian Kachehdyana. 119 According to native tradition, Kachchayana, also called Sariputta,* pursuant to the declaration of Buddha that ‘sense is represented by letters,’ proceeded with Buddha’s permission to Himavanta and there composed this grammar,f which, from this reputed origin, is considered sacred. It is to be found in every monastery in Burma. The arrange- ment of the work is regular. The aphorisms follow each other without any regard to system. Asin Sanskrit grammars, the rules are given in the form of concise aphorisms or sentences hanging together like threads -(suttas) : the right understanding of which chain of rules depends upon a knowledge of the adhikara, or heading rule, and its influence on those that follow ; thus Kachch. Nam. 2. 12. dtthipumanapumsaka-sankhyam, ‘ (the rules about to follow relate to) nouns of number (and are alike applicable to the three genders) masc., fem., neut.’ is a heading rule, which is said | to exercise an authority over other aphorisms, inasmuch as these heading rules consist of terms which other aphorisms, in order to complete their “sense, are under the necessity of borrowing. They are said to be of three kinds, namely, s¢hagatika ‘lion’s gait’ (applied to the habit of constantly pausing and looking back, pubbaparavilokanato) ; mandikagatika ‘ frog’s _ from a previous aphorism); yathanupubbika ‘in regular or successive order.’ As brevity is regarded as a primary requisite, the following abbre- viations are resorted to in the aphorisms. A word in the genitive case _ is generally governed by théne understood (7. e., instead of such a word after such a word or letter, etc.); a word in the instrumental by saha (i. e., together with such, etc.) ; a word in the locative by pare understood (i. e., when such a word or letter follows, the rule refers to that which immediately precedes it); [ef Cowell, pp. xvii—xviii]. Vd signifies ‘ op- tion,’ of which there are two kinds; namely, vikappa, the allowing a rule _ to be observed or not at pleasure, optionally enforced: and vavatthita- _ wvibhdsd, a fixed option, or one applicable throughout, the prescribed operation being in the one case carried out throughout, and in the other omitted throughout. ; There are several commentaries on Kachchayana’s work, of which the % ~ most important are, the Nyasa or Mukhamattadipani, by Vimalabuddhi, { an enlarged counterpart of Kachchayana, but with five additional aphorisms ; in the 38rd (or kdraka) book, which are to be found in the Katantra; the + * So called in a Talain work called Milamile.

It is a comparatively modern work, havin been composed by Aygavamsa Thera at Pugan during the reign of kin Kyautswa, A. D. 1279—1298. It has long been suspected by Pali scholars that the Pali gramma of Kachchayana is based upon the Katantra, a Sanskrit grammar of abou : the tenth century A. D. I see no reason to doubt this; for, it seems t me, no one, who has examined the native treatises balamgine to this scho ol can help arriving at this conclusion a The author of the Rupasiddhi, in his comment on parasamannd payor (Kachch. I. 9) says that Kachchayana adopts certain gram terms t be found ‘in Sanskrit, or in the works of other grammarians:’ one of 1 thos terms is linga, which, in its usual sense, means ‘ gender, sex’; but, “a same writer has it, in his comment on lingatthe pathama (Kacheh. III, : idha, patipadiké parandmadheyyam, ‘in this grammar (it is) anot he term for (the Sanskrit) prdtipadikd, 7. e¢., the crude form or base of noun. Subjoined are given the rulings on this term in Panini, the Katantra, and the Pali grammars :— ; arthavad adhatur apratyayah pratipadikam. Pan. 1. 2. 45. dhatuvibhaktivarjam arthaval lingam. Kat.

Niti. ch. 3 ih : Hence, we see, as M. Kuhn justly remarks, that amongst the Kat b tras, and in Kachchdyana’s grammar, the word linga has the same sig tion, a nominal base. But there are numerous other instances of ment between the aphorisms of Kachchayana and those of the Katantr indeed, in the Karaka book nearly every aphorism has a greater or le similarity with those in the same book in the Katantra. To take I instance the first aphorism of the Karaka book of Kachchayana, and t corresponding (eighth) aphorism of the same book in the Katantra:— _ D co * Separate edition, Paris, 1871. at ri G. HK.

It is evident from this, as M. Senart says, (p. 125)* that the author of the Pali aphorism must have had before him not only the -text of the K Katantra ruling, but even the commentary of Durgasinha upon it. d Again, Pancamé and Sattamé for the Imperative and Potential moods “are terms peculiar to Kachchayana and the Katantras (v. Kat. Kar. 18 and 20.) The Balavatara explains that they are ‘the ReEnO AE of former teachers,’ and Sadda Niti states that those terms are ‘in accordance with i Sanskrit grammars such as the Katantra.’ [D’Alwis, Cat. p. 61.] e We may infer, therefore, from his having the Katantra before him, that the author of Kachchéyana’s grammar did not live prior to the tenth century A. D. It may be accepted as an historical fact that Buddhaghosa, bearing the Buddhist scriptures from Ceylon, came to Thahtun, which is situated ‘a few miles north of Martaban, and which was then the capital city of 4 i of the Talaing states. The year given for his arrival in the histories is A. D. 403, but probably he came within the period included in A. D. E ‘410-439. At this time there does not appear to have been much inter- course between the Talaings and Burmese. Buddhism was in a very corrupt state. We read of no effort being made to disseminate copies of these scriptures, and the Burmese people in the central Irrawaddy country appear to have remained isolated for some centuries. About six hundred years after, in the early part of the eleventh century A. D., the great hero of the later Burmese history, Anaurahta, ascended the throne, and restored the ancient power of the Burmese ‘monarchy. That this king conquered Thahtun, and procured the Bud- _dhist scriptures from thence, cannot be doubted. His reform of religion ‘is minutely and graphically described. He reigned forty-two years. About seven years after the death of Anaurahta, certain Malabar _ princes invaded Ceylon, and obtained sovereignty over the island for twelve years, viz., 1059—1071 A. D. They were the most determined foes of Buddhism, and are stated to have systematically effected the destruction of all the sacred books they could lay hands on. ‘These were _ afterwards replaced from Burma. * Separate edition.

[| AUG., - It has been satisfactorily proved by D’Alwis that Kachchayana’s g n L- mar was not known to Buddhaghosa ; he makes no allusion to if, nag is there any agreement between the terminology of Buddhaghosa and - Kach- chayana. The Burmese ee that amhey received it from Ceylon, A. D., z e., towards the As of the eleventh century. But for many years the ‘slaw was torn by internal dissensions, and it was not until the close of the twelfth century, during the reign of king Pardkrama Bahu I, a monarch who is styled “ the most martial, enterprising, and glorious in Sinhalese history”, that a new impulse was given to Pali grammatical literature, and that we hear tue names of the earliest disciples of Buddha 7 revived in the persons of eminent priests, whose literary tastes found encouragement under that enlightened monarch. Thus the founders of the two schools of Pali Grammar assumed respectively the names of the right and left hand disciples of Gotama, viz., Sdriputta, and Moggall4na This may have’ given rise to the tradition that Kachchayana’s grammar was written about 500 years before the Chris: tian era. It is probable that Sariputta was some years older than Moggallanay as the latter acknowledges his obligations to the former as his preceptor, and dedicates some of his works to him. It is true that the dedication might have been made in honour of the memory of some eminent priest of ancient times, yet the fact remains that the first distinguished priest, bearing that name, of whom mention is made subsequent to the age of the Katantras, is Sdriputta, the author of the Vinaya-sangaha and other works, and the contemporary of Moggallana. | It is hoped that the foregoing statements will prove to the reader that the Pali grammar of Kachchayana is based on the Katantra, and that’ Kachchayana lived in or about the twelfth century of the Christian era.

Fryer’s paper, but he could not say that his arguments had convinced him. Col. Fryer’s position was, that the well-known grammar of Kachchayana was composed akout the 12th century of the Christian era by a Ceylonese priest, called Sariputta. But the Ceylonese themselves ascribed to the grammar an Indian origin. Col. Fryer said, that in the 12th century there lived two Ceylonese priests, bearing the names of the two famous disciples of Buddha, Sariputta and Moggallana ; to the latter, it appeared, the com- position of a grammar was ascribed by the Ceylonese themselves, but not to the former, Sariputta. But Col. Fryer maintained that the Ceylonese were mistaken with respect to Sariputta, and that they erroneously ascrib- ed Kachchayana’s grammar, which was really written by the Ceylonese Sariputta, to the famous Indian Sariputta, simply because of the identity of the two names. But if that were so, it was not easy to understand why a similar mistake was not made in the case of Moggallana. If Ceys lonese tradition was correct in ascribing a grammar to the Ceylonese Mog- gallana, if may be accepted to be also correct, in not ascribing Kachchayana’s grammar to the Ceylonese Sariputta, but to an Indian Kachchayana. He had been informed by Dr. Mitra that Kachchayana was already mentioned in the Mahavaméga, in the 5th century A. D. In that case, it would be impossible that Kachchayana should have lived in the 12th century A. D. But he did not recollect any such passage in the Maha- vamsa, and was inclined to suspect a misunderstanding. The mere mention of a famous person called Katydyana was not sufficient to identify him with the Grammarian. The Chinese pilgrim Hwentsang, in the 8th century, also mentioned a certain Katyayana, famous for his learn- ing, the author of an Abhidharma and a Koga, who was said to have lived 300 years after Buddha’s nirvana. It was not impossible that he might have been the Grammarian ; but there was no direct evidence to identity ‘them. Col. Fryer’s arguments in support of his theory were, in the main, two. First, that there was a striking correspondence between Kachchayana’s gram- mar and the Sanskrit Katantra grammar with regard to grammatical termi- nology. ‘his circumstance was a well-known one; the question had been discussed by Dr. Burnell in his “ Aindra School of Sanskrit Grammarians,” with which work Col. Fryer appeared to be unacquainted. Dr. Burnell showed that the terminology in question was one common to the Aindra or pre-Paninian School of Sanskrit Grammarians ; whence it followed that, when it was used in two grammars, it did not necessarily show that one borrowed from the other, but only that they both belonged to the same school. Not long ago he (Dr. Hoernle) had published an edition of Chanda’s grammar of the Ancient Prakrit, in which the same terminology (¢. g., linga in the 126 Remarks by Dr. Hoernle on Kachchayana. [A 16.5 sense of “nominal base’’) occurred ; yet the work must be very much older than the 10th century ; it had been revised and recast over and over — again, at various times, and in its latest revised form it was known to- Hema Chandra, who lived in the middle of the 12th century. This simply showed that Chanda’s grammar also belonged to the Aindra School. Col. — Fryer ascribed the composition of the Katantra grammar to the 10th cen- tury, but it did not appear on what grounds, Like many other ancient | works, Kachchdyana’s grammar may have passed through revisions; the | commentary to it, in which Col. Fryer had pointed to one striking agree- ment with Durga Simha’s commentary on the Katantra, was not ascribed — to Kachchayana, but to Sanghanandi (as quoted by Dr. Burnell) ; ; and it might be possible that the commentary or one of the revisions of the grammar was made so late as the 12th century. Thus, while Kachchayana’s _ rule enjoined certain words (as divvate) to be spelled with v, in agreement — with the ancient practice of the Inscriptions, his commentator, after a — much later fashion, spells them with 6 (dibbate). The circumstance that . Kachchayana’s grammar was not known to Buddhagosha had been satis- factovily explained by Dr. Burnell in his work onthe Aindra Grammarians. _ Col. Fryer’s second argument was an historical one, but he (Dr. — Hoernle) could not quite understand how it precluded the traditional ascription of the composition of the grammar in question to an Indian — Kachchdyana. On the whole, he thought, therefore, that the question as to the identity of Kachchayana must still be considered an open one. : Col. Fryer still thought that the Pali of Ceylon and Burma was the ~ language of Buddha used in Magadha. But most Péli scholars were — now agreed that this was not so, though they were not quite agreed to — which exact locality in India it should be referred. The reasons against Pali being Magadhi were very strong; the exceptional (by no means “ common,” as Col. Fryer said) occurrence of e for o—a fact not unknown | ; hitherto—was not at all decisive. The following note was subsequently received from Col, Fryer :— | | “According to Ariyavamsa—who in 1439 A. D. wrote Kachchayana bheda tiki4—the commentator Sanghanandi and Kachchiyana are the same person, and the illustrations are ascribed by him to Brahmadatta: for he — says ‘imani sutténi mahakachchayanena katani, vutti ca sanghanandisan- khatena mahakachchayanen’ eva kata, payogo brahmadattena kato ti V ne e’etam :— = Kachchayanakato yogo vutti ca sanghanandino, payogo brahmadattena — nydso vimalabuddhiné [App. D’Alw. Introd. p. 104]. ! Omitting the illustrations ‘ dibbate’ &c. ascribed to Brahmadatta, 7 Kachchayana’s rule, and Sanghanandi’s comment thereon, singularly alike, are subjoined :-— | 1882.) R C.

In the Selections from the Records of the Panjab Government, Sec- tion I, 1882, are some “ Linguistic Fragments” by Dr. Leitner. Among these “ fragments” are some words and phrases used by the Naqqdsh or papier-maché painters of the Panjab and Kashmir as a trade dialect or argét, and also a long list of numerals used by the shawl-weavers of Kash- mir and the Panjéb. Lieutenant Temple lately had an opportunity of testing both these lists, aud found them to be in the main correctly record- ed, 2. e. according to his own ear, though in two or three instances he observed discrepancies. He discusses these differences and gives a list of additional words and phrases which he was enabled to record. He then enters into the question whether these words are part of a bond fide dialect or merely an argdt, a more or less conscious formation of words for the _ purposes of secrecy; and gives his reasons for believing that, when there are more data available than at present, the bulk of the words will be found to be really dialectic and traceable to surrounding idioms or to the former stages of the modern Aryan languages, but that in some cases words have been inverted and nonsense-syllables prefixed or affixed in order to hide their true form. In conclusion, Lieutenant Temple remarks that if Dr. Leitner’s hope, that the Trade Dialects will be found to preserve an ancient language, is to become a reality, the enquiry must be taken up by more than one person. The range of knowledge required is too wide, and the investigations necessary too minute and searching, to admit of one individual solving the problem presented in a satisfactory manner. The PResipENT announced that the next meeting of the Society would be held on the lst of November. * [Fausbéll’s system of transliteration had been followed by Col. Fryer in his paper. But-as some letters of that system do not exist in the Society’s Press, it has been thought better to preserve uniformity by substituting the system adopted by the Society in all their publications.

Bidie—The Pagoda Ooins of Southern India. 141 The PresipEnr reported that Dr. J. Scully had been elected a Mem- ber of the Natural History Committee; and that Mr. J. Wood-Mason, the Natural History Secretary, had left India. A vote of thanks was unanimonsly passed to Mr. Wood-Mason for his valuable services as Natural History Secretary for the past 8 years, ‘and for the care and attention he had devoted to the editing of the Society’s Journal, Part II. The Secretary reported that the following coin had been acquired under the Treasure Trove Act : A Silver Coin found in a village of the Manpur Pergunnah. The following papers were read : 1. On the Pagoda or Varaha Coins of Southern India.—By Dr. G. Brv1e, Government Central Museum, Madras. (Abstract.) The unit of the monetary system of Southern India in old times was the gold pagoda, subdivided into fanams and cash. Latterly from political causes, which are discussed in this paper, the varieties of these coins became very numerous, so that their discrimination at the present day is a matter of some difficulty. Taken as a whole, the pagodas afford most valuable and interesting information regarding the early political history of India south of the Kistna. Their value in this respect was long overlooked, and no systematic attempt was made until recently to form a permanent public collection of the series.’ Owing to this neglect, many of the older forms are quite unknown to numismatists, and there is little prospect of making good the defect. As regards those that have been preserved, very little information of a reliable kind has been recorded and the few facts that remain refer mostly to the more modern forms and are scattered in local histories, travels, &c., which sometimes contain _ incidental allusions to the currency of the day. To numismatists who have been accustomed to study old European coins or those of the Muhammadan sovereigns of India, the Madras pagodas appear particularly puzzling and uninteresting, as they do not always bear the name of the sovereign who struck them, and never give any informa- tion as to the place or date of mintage, The derivation of the name pagoda is discussed, and that given by Bartolomeo, who lived in Southern ' India from 1776 to 1789, adopted. The forms of the pagoda of which there are specimens in the Madras Museum are divided into the following groups, arranged according to dynasties and in chronological order: (1) Bud. dhist Coins, (2) Chalukya Coins, (3) Nonambavadi Coins, (4) Coins of the Gajapati Dynasty, or Elephant Lords, (5) the Lingayat Pagoda, (6) Vija- yanagar or Bijanagar Pagodas, (7) the Gandikota Pagoda, (8) the Chital- 142 G.

FY The circumstances under which the coins of each group were probably — struck are discussed, and detailed descriptions with figures given of the specimens in the Madras Museum. Dy This paper will be published with plates in the Journal, Part I, 1882. 7 2. Notes on the Butterflies of India—By Masor G. F. L, MarsHatt, BR. E, a Since the publication of the first Part of Vol. I, of “‘ The Butterflies q of India, Burmah and Ceylon,’”’* a small collection and yome notes have — been sent by Captain C. H. EK. Adamson from Akyab, which furnish some additional information as to the distribution of some of the Danaine. ty No. 5. Hestia cadeili. A single male specimen of a Hestia was taken on the sea coast at Akyab, which, Captain Adamson writes, corresponded mark for mark with the figure given of this species (Pl. IV, fig. 2 g). I have not seen the specimen, but I feel convinced that it must really have belonged to the form named agamarschana which has recently been _ taken in the Mergui archipelago. In either case the occurrence of a Hestia — of this type so far north is worthy of note. i No. 20. Danars tytia. Captain Adamson remarks that this, in Tenasserim as in India, is a hill insect, comparatively rare, and that in the ~ plains it is replaced by D. melaneus which is far commoner. - No. 24. Danais gautama, Captain Adamson sends several specimens — taken at one locality on the seashore at Akyab where they were in com- pany with D. genutia, D. hegesippus, D. chrysippus and D. septentrionis — which were all abundant at that one spot. He writes, “ Had I not been specially looking for them I should have passed them over as D, septen-— trionis, but now I can tell the difference at once on the wing: D. gautama — shows much less blue when on the wing and is more like D. aglea in appearance, except for its larger size.”’ h No. 34. Danais hegesippus. Captain Adamson has taken a curious — variety of this species with an additional white spot below the subapical — series in the fulvous space between the first median nervule and submedian — nervure: only three specimens of this variety were taken and all at the same spot. % No. 40. Huplea margarita. A specimen from Moulmein of typical margarita has the forewing with only two minute white marginal spots ran * The Butterflies of India, Burmah and Ceylon; a descriptive hand-book of all! the known species, by Major G.

Rodgers—Deseription of Coins. 143 at the hinder angle, and the blue shot extends very nearly to the margin ; the shape of the forewing in this specimen and the dark tone of the margin strengthen the possibility of this species being separable from E. adamsoni. No. 44. Kuploa klugit. A male specimen of typical coloration was taken at Akyab: this is the most southern locality yet recorded for this species. | No. 48. Huploa vestigiata. A very large female of this species taken at Moulmein has on the hindwing at the anal angle three diffused and - coalescent whitish spots. It corresponds with the description of EZ. leu- cogonys, and its large size throws doubt on the distinctness of the latter species. No. 60. Huplea bremert. Afemale specimen is sent from Akyab where it was taken in July by Captain Adamson; this is considerably north of any locality yet recorded for this insect. No. 61. Huplea core. A typical male specimen from Akyab was among the collection ; it shows no approach to the Burman form Z. sud- dita, which latter was taken at the same place by Mr. Wood-Mason. The fact of the two forms being distinct at the same boundary establishes Li. subdita as a good species. No. 68. Huplaa godartii. A very remarkable female specimen was taken at Akyab in July, in which there is no trace whatever of the violet apical patch ; the outer margin too is more emarginate than is usual. Akyab is the most northern defined locality at which this species has been taken. 3. Ooins, suppiementary to “ The Chronicles of the Pathin Sulténs of Delhi.” No. II—By C. J. Ropaurs. (Abstract. ) Mr. Rodgers describes in this paper some coins received from Affghan- istan and India which have not yet been edited. The coins are described in detail with figures and the inscriptions thereon transcribed. Mr. Rodgers then discusses the peculiarities of each, drawing attention to any points of history that have a fresh light thrown upon them by the inscrip- tions on the coins. The most important of these coins is one of Yatta- mada Kanalraka which bears the name of the mint, “‘ Gazni.” Up to the present all that was known of this ruler was that he was a ruler of Sind, and that his father had ruled in Gazni and Karman. ‘This coin gives evidence of his having ruled in his father’s dominions. Another coin of importance is a small damri of Taimur struck at Delhi. It is believed to be unique and is the only one of Taimur’s Indian coins that Mr. Rodgers has seen.

Second notice of Relies from Ancient Persia, in gold, silver, and copper.—By Mason-GENERAL CunNINGHAM, C. 8. I. . } (Abstract. ) . > This paper fidaanis several new objects discovered since the first notice was written.* These relics were found on the banks of the Oxus, near a place called Kawat or Kudd, two marches from Kunduz and about midway between Khulm and Kaliaidan. This is one of the most frequented ferries on the Oxus, and has always been the chief thoroughfare | on the road to Samarkand. It is said that the owner of the land has now stopped all search by other people and intends to explore on his own 4 account. ‘The coins which General Cunningham has seen consist of 14 gold | and 76 silver pieces, and he concludes from them that the deposit must have been made before the time of Mithridates I. The following ornaments and other articles of gold which have been discovered are described in this paper :—a gold circle of large size, with two winged and horned gryphons — at the ends; a small figure of solid gold representing a “magus” in full costume with the barsom, or holy wand, in his right hand; a gold seal with five deeply cut symbols somewhat like hieroglyphic characters; a thin — gold ring of inferior workmanship, representing a lion couchant ; a circular boss, convex on the upper surface, with a hunting scene depicted on it, pro- bably the central boss of a shield ; a plain gold bracelet of one coil ending © in two antelope heads; a ribbed bracelet of two coils ending in two lions’ — heads; a spirally twisted bracelet of three coils ending in two antelope heads; and two lions’ heads, each of which probably formed one end qf 7 a br ee - This paper will also be published with plates in the Journal, Part if 1882. . i} * Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. L, Part I, 1881. é a 1882. | Library. 145 PIBRARY.

R. H. Merk, Esq. Walter Lawrence, Esq. The following gentlemen are candidates for election at the next meeting : 1. Major Trevor Plowden, B. 8. C., Simla, proposed by D. Ibbetson, Esq., seconded by J, Wilson, Esq. * 2. Francis H. Harding, Esq., C. S., Tajpore, Darbhanga, proposed by A. Pedler, Esq., seconded by Dr. H. W. M‘Cann. The following gentleman has intimated his desire to withdraw from the Society : Ney Elias, Esq. The Counc reported that P. C. Wheeler, Esq., ©. S., Allahabad, had, after repeated applications, refused to pay his subscription for a period for part of which he had received the publications of the Seciety, and his name would in consequence be suspended for a month in the Society’s rooms as a defaulter, The PREsTDENT announced that Dr. J. Scully had kindly consented to act as Natural History Secretary. The PResIDENT announced that the Council recommended certain changes in the Rules as set forth in the following circular which had been forwarded to all resident members, according to Rule 64 A :— “In accordance with the procedure prescribed in the Rules of the Society (64, 65, 78), the Council circulate to the resident Members the following statement of certain proposed changes in the Rules and of the reasons which induce Council to recommend them. “The Council propose to insert in Rule 15, after the word ‘ Rule,’ the words ‘and to serve on any Committee appointed by Council’: and after the word ‘ vote,’ the words ‘except on such Committees’: also, in Rule 61, to insert, after the word ‘appoint’, the words ‘Honorary or Associate Members, or’, and to omit the comma after the words ‘Ordinary Members’. These two Rules as they are at present read ag follows :— “Rute 15. Honorary and Associate Members shall be entitled to the privileges con- tained in Clauses (a), (d), and (f) of the preceding Rule, save that they shall not be entitled to vote. “Rute 61. The Council may elect, from among their own body, Committees or Sections for the consideration of special subjects. They also may appoint Ordinary Mem- bers, other than Members of Council, who are competent and well versed in the subjects to be referred to these Committees, to be Members of such Committees. . | ; } / ae a 1882.] Proposed change in the Rules. 157 “ With the proposed changes, they will read :— “Rute 15. Honorary and Associate Members shall be entitled to the privileges con- tained in Clauses (a), (¢) and (f) of the preceding Rule, and to serve on any Com- mittee appointed by Council, save that they shall not be entitled to vote, except on such Committees, “Rute 61. The Council may elect, from among their own body, Committees or Sec. tions for the consideration of special subjects. They may also appoint Honorary or Associate Members, or Ordinary Members other than Members of Council, who are competent and well versed in the subjects to be referred to these Committees, to be Members of such Committees. *“ According to the Rules as they are at present, no Honorary or Associate Member can serve on any of the Committees appointed by Council. The Society is thus pre- vented from obtaining the advice of several gentlemen in close connection with the Society who are experts in their several subjects, and no compensating benefit accrue from the observance of these Rules. The question is now raised because it has been Jately pointed out that Major-General A. Cunningham, Director General of the Archzeo- logical Survey of India, who has for many years been a Member of the Philological and Coins Committees of the Society, is an Honorary Member and therefore cannot serve on a Committee. General Cunningham’s advice and opinion on all matters relating to coins and antiquities have been, and are of immense service to the Society, and the Society’s Secretaries regularly avail themselves of his assistance as a member of these Com- mittees, as may be. seen from consulting the Society’s Proceedings. But now that the attention of Council has been drawn to the two Rules in question, it will be impossible to re-elect General Cunningham a Member of these Committees, unless the Rules are altered as above. So that an observance of these Rues will result in distinct injury to the Society. And, besides the case of General Cunningham, there are other cases in which the Rules prevent the Society from securing the advice of scientific experts, such as Father Lafont, who would gladly assist the Society with their opinion, but are prevented from sitting on Committees owing to the undoubted meaning of the Rules. The Council therefore strongly recommend the above changes, The Society’s Committees are consultative bodies and have not the power to take any initiative of themselves: they merely advise Council on matters on which Council seeks their opinion before itself coming to a decision. ‘This being the case, Council are of opinion that there cannot possibly be any objection to strengthening these consultative bodies by adding to them such Honorary or Associate Members as are experts in their several subjects. “ The proposed changes will be brought up for discussion at the Ordinary General meeting of the Society on Wednesday, December 6th. Voting papers will be after- wards issued to all members, resident and non-resident, containing, in addition to this statement of the Council’s reasons for recommending the change, a statement of any objections that may be raised to the proposal at this meeting. ‘The votes will be finally taken at the February meeting of the Society.” The changes proposed by the Council were unanimously approved by the meeting. The Secrerary read the following extracts from a letter from Mr. D. Ibbetson, Deputy Commissioner of the Punjab Census, Lahore, forwarding a memorandum asking for information regarding the Ethnology of the Panjab : ~ i“ .

(Dec. “My object in addressing you is to ask you to help me in the | inquiry I have undertaken,—an inquiry which will probably occupy my — leisure for several years. What I would beg you to do is this: whenever — you come across any interesting facts regarding any caste or clan or its customs, make a rough note of them at once and on the spot, before they are Sorgotten, and send it to me. It does not matter how rough the notes are; but notes regarding separate castes or clans should be, if possible, on sepa- — vate pieces of paper. It does not matter how absurd the story told you, or how seemingly trivial the facts collected. Caste legends pepe some substratum of truth, which can often be eliminated by comparing — different forms of the same story derived from various sources; and an ~ independent confirmation of even the smallest detail is often valoagl “It is in the power of every one to help, if he cares to do so. Even ~ officers who do not travel about among the people constantly come across — curious facts and customs in the course of trials and investigations, while — the natives are often more communicative to those who do not hold an official position than to those who do. “The following are some of the points which may usefully be noted :— 4 “Name of the tribe or caste; names of its sub-divisions; localities in — which it is found in largest numbers ; different names by hie it is known, often varying with the religion ; its tr diane mode and place of origin ; its” course of migration, and especially the place whence it came direct ta its — present home; the religions followed by its members; whether, if not — Hindus, they employed Brahmans, and in what manner; any traditions or customs connecting them with, or involving reverence for, any particular — plant or animal; whether they practise karewa or widow-marriage ; what 9 castes or tribes they may or may not intermarry with; what their position — is in the social scale; what occupations they principally follow, and whe- — ther they vary with the religion. “ Information regarding the vagrant, servile, and out-caste tribes and the people of the hills is especially needed; while little is known of the — internal constitution, and goverament by means of standing panchayats, of — the menial and artisan castes and trade-guilds. . “The religion of the peasantry is something very different from the dl Hinduism of books; while their social customs have been handed down almost unaltered from remote ages. All facts regarding their gods and — saints and the mode in which they worship them, the omens they regard, the superstitions they are ruled by, their ceremonial at births, deaths, be- trothals, marriages, and adoption, the relations between members of a family, — and in fact their customs and ways of life generally, are always most inter- — esting and often exceedingly valuable. The inhabitants of the Punjab | have been drawn from many sources at various periods ; and our best hope 1882.]_ Letter from Mr. Ibbetson on the Ethnology of the Panjab. 159 of tracing each tribe back to its original stock lies in collecting and com- paring their customs and traditions. Most valuable of all are what may be called differential customs ; that is to say, points in which the customs of one tribe differ from those of its neighbours. Peculiarities in even such minor respects as dress, jewels, food, drink, and the like, often afford useful indications. “Local songs and proverbs, which should be taken down exactly as spoken by the people, are full of interest. Fairs and festivals are important and generally have some religious significance. New sects and ascetic orders are springing up daily; while little is known about many of the old ones. In fact it is impossible to mention any part of the life of the people regarding which information is not needed, and may not give valuable /=help. “In the hope that it may be useful to some such, I have prepared a rough memorandum on the points to which, so far as I know, inquiry may be most usefully directed. I shall be glad to send any body a copy of it who will let me have a post-card to say that he would like one.” Lizvt.-Genu. J. T. Wanker gave intimation of the return of a party of explorers from Tibet, with a sketch of the line of exploration. He informed the meeting that, five years ago, he made arrangements to send one of the Trans-Himalayan explorers of the Survey Department into the regions of Northern Tibet which are crossed by the parallel of 40° of latitude. In those days, Prejevalsky had not yet made his famous journey from Guldja to Lob Nur, and there was a great belt of territory between LKastern Turkestan and Mongolia which was almost absolutely unknown. A native of India who had accompanied the cele- brated Pandit Nain Singh in his explorations was especially trained by the andit to undertake this new exploration. He started from India in the summer of 1878 with two companions; for a long time no tidings were received of him; but about a year ago very distressing rumours reached Nain Singh to the effect that the explorer and his companions had been seized by the authorities at Lassa, that one of his companions who was a Tibetan had been put to death for having brought a foreigner into the country, and that he himself had had his legs broken in order to put it out of his power to make further explorations. Happily this tale turned out to be a pure fabrication, concocted very probably by his second companion who had meanwhile robbed and deserted him. In May last, tidings were received from the Vicar Apostolic.of Tibet, who resides at Ta-Tsien-lu, that the ex- plorer had reached Ta-Tsien-lu in safety last February, and that he was about to return to India by the direct route vz7@ Assam. He reached 160 Return of explorers from Tibet. [Drc., — Calcutta a few days ago, bringing with him not only his journals, but his — instruments, which he has managed to secrete and preserve in some wonder- — ful manner, notwithstanding that on two occasions he was robbed of the greater portion of his property. He has taken a number of astronomical and boiling point observations and kept up a more or less continuous record of bearings and distances along — the line of his traverse. Some time must elapse before his observations can be — reduced and plotted ; thus General Walker was not in a position to give the — meeting any very definite information regarding the geographical results of — this last and most important exploration. He would, however, briefly indicate the general direction of the lines of operation. The explorer, after spending some time at Lassa in purchasing mer= — chandise for sale in the regions to which he was bound and making ~ arrangements to join a kafila of traders returning to Mongolia, eventually — succeeded in making a good start. He accompanied the kafila as far as — a place called Thingali, which may be some 150 miles to the west of the Lake Koko Nur; there, in December, 1879, the kafila was attacked by a band of some hundred mounted men of the Chiamogolak tribe; they — robbed the explorer of most of his property, but had the grace to leave — him about Rs. 200 worth of merchandise wherewith to prosecute his — enterprise, and they did not appropriate his surveying instruments. From Thingali he struck off to the North-West, and eventually reached a place called Saithang, where he had to wait for the formation of a kafila of travellers proceeding towards Lob Nur; there he was deserted by one of © his .companions who robbed him of itis of his little remaining property — and his telescope. ‘Though left nearly destitute, he was resolved not to turn back if he could by any means avoid doing so. He and his remaining ~ companion therefore took service with some Mongolians and tended their — herds of horses for some months. Eventually they determined to move on — with the limited funds at their disposal, and when these failed to beg their way. They advanced to a place called Saitu, which may possibly be iden- tical with Marco Polo’s Sachiu; there they were detained seven months by — Chinese Tartars whom they were compelled to serve. Eventually a friendly Lama came to their assistance and rescued them, and in his service they returned to Saithang and proceeded south-eastwards to Barong Chaidam— ~ some 100 miles to the west of Lake Koko Nur,—and then southwards — 300 miles to the Thuden Gompa Monastery. There they entered the service of a Chinese Tartar whom they accompanied to Darchendo, or Ta- — Tsien-lu, where they were kindly welcomed and helped by the Jesuit — Fathers. They then commenced their return journey to India. Proceed- ing vid Batang and Dzayul, they reached Sama, a village on the eastern — border of the country of the Mishmis ; they endeavoured to make arrange- ments to cross the belt of Mishmi country between Sama and the British — 1882. ] Return of explorers from Tibet. 161 Frontier, but did not succeed in so doing ; and being told that they would probably be murdered if they trusted themselves to such savages as the Mishmis, they turned northwards and took the circuitous route through southern Tibet towards Lassa, »7@ Alanto and Giamda, as far as the latter place, from which they turned down south-westwards to Chetang on the Sanpo river, avoiding Lassa. Thence they proceeded wid Giangze Jong and Phari to Darjeeling, returning safety to British territory after an absence of more than four years. The explorer states that Sama, the village on the Mishmi border at which they turned away from the direct route to Assam, is situated on a river flowing into Assam, and is the place at which two Padre Sahibs were murdered some thirty years ago. Thus it is identified with the Sami of the Rev. T. D. Mazure, Vicar Apostolic of Tibet, in his memorandum on the countries betweeen Thibet, Yunan and Burma—in volume XXX of the Journal of the Asiatic Society—in which he speaks of it as the place where the two priests, Messrs, Krick and Boury, were murdered. The Vicar was, however, under the impression that his Sami was situated in the valley of a river flowing into the Irawadi; but Colonel Yule, in his notes to the Vicar’s paper, points out that we know from the reports of the British officers in Upper Assam that the two priests were murdered (about the month of August, 1854) at a village, called Simé in Wilcox’s map, which is situated on the banks of the Bramakund river, the Eastern Brahmaputra, and he goes on to say that “this murder of two missionaries becomes thus in fact the basis of a geographical connection between British India and Thibet.” This remark is even more apposite at the present time than it was origin- ally ; for the murder of the missionaries enables us to identify with cer- tainty the nearest point to the British frontier which was reached by the explorer on his attempt to return to India v74@ Assam. Wilcox reconnoitred the Brahmakund river up as far as the village of Samleh, and he obtained the positions of several of the villages higher up from native information ; thus it appears that his Simé was about 18 miles beyond Samleh ; for this portion of the river we as yet have no route survey ; but the distance is so short that we may accept the position assigned to Simé in Wilcox’s map without hesitation. ’ This being the case, the fact that the explorer was unable to proceed to India directly through the Mishmi country, but was compelled to make a considerable detour to the north, has been the means of our acquiring much additional geographical information, and more particularly of laying at rest the frequently mooted question whether the great Sanpo river of Tibet flows into the Irawadi river or into the Brahmaputra, If the former, the explorer must have crossed it three times, first between Batang and Sama, secondly between Sama and Alanto, and finally at Chetang. He Sau Wee aa + > J 162 R. C.

He knows the Sanpo river well and has crossed - it. frequently and in various places, and he is satisfied that none of the affluents of the system of parallel rivers which he crossed can possibly be the Sanpo. A full account of his explorations will be published, with maps in illus » tration, as soon as possible, probably within six months. Meanwhile, however, this statement of general outlines will suffice to show that the explorer has worked with great pluck and perseverance, never allowing himself to be turned back by misfortune and disaster until he had succeeded in accomplishing a highly creditable amount of work, and meanwhile taking. service with Mongolians, Lamas and Chinese Tartars, with a view to earn a livelihood for himself and his companion while carrying out their explo- rations. q The following papers were read— | 1.

He gives an account of the daldls and their way of making a living, which is not by brokerage, but by what they can make out of the customer through the trader, and what the customer pays them for their trouble. The author mentions the different ways in| which the dalal comes to a secret understanding with the trader as to the amount of commission he is to receive, and gives a list of slang words — used by him with their meanings. 2. The Rupees of the months of the Ilaht years of Akbar.—By C. a site a . (Abstract.) The Persian year was instituted by Yezdegird ITI, eight days after. the death of Muhammad. The year was divided into 365 days. There were twelve months, each of which had 30 days except the twelfth which had 35 days. The fractions of the days in 120 years made another month, so that every 120 years there were 13 months in the year. On the first such occurrence, the first month was duplicated: on the second, the second month, and so on. Malik Shah, Sultan of Khorasan, improved somewhat on this system. Making his year commence with the entrance of the Sun into Aries, he ordered that the year should receive an 1882.) = C.: J. Rodgers.— Rupees of the Ilahi years of Akbar. 163 _ additional day whenever it was required. This was mostly as with us— every fourth year. But after the day had been added seven or eight times _ the addition was postponed for a year. In the 30th year of Akbar, 7. e. in 992 A. H., Hakim Fath Ullah Shirazi introduced a new era and year for India. The object in view was to create a uniform year throughout _ the vast empire Akbar had conquered. The era began with the reign of _ Akbar, 2. e., on 19th February, 1556. The months and days were similar _ to those of the Persian year, but there were no intercalary days. Hence the days of this year never corresponded with the years of Malik Shah’s era, This year was termed “ Z/ahi’—up to the year 992 A. H. Akbar’s coins are strictly orthodox in their inscriptions. The name and titles of the emperor occupy the obverse, the margins, containing the mint, &c., being in nearly all cases illegible. The reverse has the Kalimah, and its fragmentary margins are embellished with portions of the names of the four companions of Muhammad. From the 30th year of Akbar’s reign coins with the Ilahi years on them began to be struck. On these coins, instead of the Kalimah the following sentence is given: “God is the greatest, may His brightness shine forth.” The inscription is — completed by the name of the mint and the year and the month in which _ the coin was struck. Mr, Rodgers in this nap gives descriptions of rupees of each month of the same years. 8. Second list of Butterflies taken in Sikkim in October, 1882, with notes on habits, §c.—By LioNeL DE NIcE’VILLE. (Abstract.) In this list 203 species of Butterflies are enumerated, most of which were met with at a low elevation. One new species is described, and a second species which had been figured under an erroneous name, is re-named. - The author points out the probable locality where most of the species of E Butterflies which come from Sikkim are collected, and also one of the modes _ the Lepchas adopt to capture these specimens, 164 Library. : [Dee., PIBRARY, The following additions have been made to the Library since the Meeting held in November last. | J RANSACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNALS, presented by the respective Societies and Editors.
