The Council reported on the progress which has been made in the collecting and preservation of Sanskrit MSS., and communicated the subjoined correspondence on the subject. In laying this correspondence on the table the President observed, that inasmuch as the measures proposed and subsequently under- taken for the conservation of Sanskrit MSS., and the preparation of Catalogues, were communicated to the Society, in May 1869, the Council thought it right to inform the Society of the progress which had since been made in the matter. He referred to the original instructions of the Government, and the few alterations which have been suggested by the Society. The task was entrusted to Babu Rajendraléla Mitra, whom the Government had recommended for it. One instalment of the “ Notices &c.’’ had been published and was on the table before them. It would be seen that this was not in the tabular form which the Government at first contemplated, but the deviation from it had been sanctioned by the Govern- ment of Bengal in their letter, dated 22nd May, 1869, and whether or not every one would consider it judicious, there were certainly very substantial reasons to be urged in support of it. When these ‘‘ Notices’? were submitted to Government, no objection was taken to the form of the publication, but it appears that the advisers of the Government considered that it was defective in certain important points. The President quoted a passage to this effect from an official letter of the Government of India. He could not better explain the error into which the Government had here fallen, than by reading the answer which the Secretary of the Society had written in behalf of the Council. In conclusion 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. 3 he said it was almost incomprehensible, how the blunder came to be committed, not only in the Secretariat to the Government of India, but also by a scholar like Mr. Chalmers, to whose very positive but mistaken observations the President referred. These gentle- men must have penned their strictures without having read the Sanskrit, and yet it was in Sanskrit, that the Government letter directed the principal matter of the lists, inclusive of the very matter in question, to be published.

A specimen copy of No. 1 of the ‘“ Notices of Sanskrit MSS.” is herewith enclosed, as well as copies of the lists noted in para. 8th of Babu Rajendralala Mitra’s letter. The slight alteration in the arrangement of printing has also been explained by Babu Rajendralala Mitra, and the Council of the Society hopes that this change will be advantageous.

Dated, Chitpur, 24th May, 1870. _Sm,—I have the honor.to submit the following report on the operations carried on during the last official year for collecting in- formation regarding Sanskrit MSS. extant in native libraries. 2. The final orders of Government on the subject were received in May 1869. I happened to be unwell at the time, and nothing was done until my arrival at Benares in the middle of June following, when I commenced to collect lists of such rare MSS., as were avail- able in that city. Although some ultra orthodox pandits were averse to allow their collection to be examined and analysed for the information of Europeans, I had no difficulty in inducing several persons to allow me access to their Libraries for the purpose of taking notes and copies of such MSS. asI liked, and obtained much valuable information from some of the professors of the local Sanskrit College. Two native gentlemen of the city, Babu Haris- chandra and Sitalprasad, very obligingly placed the whole of their collections, each containing upwards of two thousand works, at my disposal, and Pandit Vinayaka S‘astri brought me a few rare MSS. of the Kalpa sutras and of the Sikshaés. The Raéjguru of Benares and several other pandits also offered me assistance, and I soon had a total of upwards of five thousand MSS. at my disposal. Owing, however, to the delicate state of my health at the time, and my * This list is omitted in the present communication, 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 5 stay at Benares having been limited to seven weeks only, I could not examine moro than about half of them. These were mostly works of which the Asiatic Society possesses copies. The few that appeared to me to be new have been included in the accompanying volume of ‘ Notices,” 8. The principle on which the notices have been drawn up has already been explained in my minute of April 1869.* I have taken the Oatalogue of the Society’s Library for my guide, and described only such works as were not included in it, except when better MSS. were met with than are to be found in Calcutta. 4. The plan of quoting the initial and the concluding sentences, as also the epigraphs, which was first suggested by me and ap- proved by Government, rendered a departure form the tabular form originally proposed unavoidably necessary ; but none of the heads of information recommended by Mr. Stokes has been omitted, and on the whole the form adopted will, I believe, be found to be in every respect convenient. It has greatly economised space, and obviated the necessity of printing, in narrow columns, long extracts, mostly in verse, and other matter not fit to be tabulated. 5. Among the works noticed I would draw the attention of the Committee to the Upanishads, most of which are rare, and have hitherto been known only through Duperron’s translation of the Persian version of Dara Sekoh. From three to five copies of each of them have now been obtained, and placed at the disposal of Pro- fessor Raimamaya Tarkaratna for publication in the Bibliotheca Indica. The little treatises on Vedic Phonetics (Nos. 132 to 136) are also rare, and of considerable interest. Professor Max Miller, in his history of Sanskrit literature notices only one of them—that of Narada—and the others, therefore, I imagine, will be new to many scholars in Europe. The commentary of Sures’vara on the Brihadaryanaka Upanishad and that of Sankarénanda on the Atharva Upanishads are also worthy of note. Most of the dramatic works noticed are not included in the list annexed to Professor Wil- son’s Hindu Theatre ; some of the medical works are also valuable, and the Mahabhashya is remarkable for age and accuracy. Alto- gether 204 works have been noticed, of which 69 are portions of * Proceedings, Asiatic Soviety, Bengal, for May, 1869, p. 127 et sey. 6 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Jan. the Vedas or commentaries thereon, 26 are treatises on Vedic ceremonials, and 8 parts of the Vedangas; 11 are on the Vedanta, 8 on the Nyaya, and 2 on astronomy, one of them being an exposi- tion of Arabic terms borrowed by the Brahmans. Of grammatical treatises 2 only are included in the list, and of medical compi- lations 5; but law, rituals, poetry and the drama, are repre- sented in it by 6, 12, 28, and 14 codices respectively. 6. On my return to Calcutta, a pandit was employed on a salary of Rs. 30 a month, and travelling allowances, to proceed to the mofussil. He commenced operations at Krishnagar and in five months collected the names and short descriptive accounts of about four hundred MSS. new to the Society. Among these are included a number of Tantras belonging to the Raja of Krishnanagar ; but few of them are of any great antiquity. Notices of these have been drawn up in the prescribed form, and will be sent to press in the course of next month. 7. In March last, advantage was taken of the Rev. J. Long’s trip to Dacca to send the pandit to that district, and he has since been employed there. The field, however, does not seem to be promising, and no work of any value has yet been met with. I have, therefore, asked the pandit to return to Krishnagar, where and in the neighbouring town of Nuddea, the most renowned seat of the Nyaya school in Bengal, there remains yet much to be done. 8. In July 1869, two MS. lists were obtained from the Home Office, one containing the names of 2744 works said to be owned by Pandit Radhakrishna of Lahore, and the other of works supposed by the Nepalese pandits to be rare in the Nepalese Libraries at Khatmandu. Both these have been printed, and copies are here- with submitted for inspection. The first contains the names of a great number of scarce works, but it has been much swelled out by inserting the same treatises under different names in different places. The Nepalese list contains nothing of any value. 9, Nominal lists have likewise been obtained from the renown- ed Pandit Rangéchéri Svami of Brindaban, and from different parts of Bengal, extracts from which will ere long be published. 10.

His Honor also desires me to acknowledge the services rendered by Babu Réajendraléla Mitra in this undertaking. A copy of your letter and Babu Rajendralala Mitra’s report will be trans- mitted to the Government of India, and will also be published in the supplement to the Calcutta Gazette. A copy of the ‘catalogue of Sanskrit MSS.” and of “ notices of Sanskrit MSS.” will also be furnished to the Government of India. 2. With reference to paragraph 4 of your letter the Lieutenant- Governor is pleased to sanction the payment of the bill submitted, amounting to Rs. 1,079-2-9, for expenses incurred by the Society in collecting MSS. during the second-half of the financial year 1869-70. The Accountant-General will be instructed accordingly, and will also be addressed in regard to advancing the Society funds to carry on future expenses, subject to adjustment half-yearly, as suggested by you. 3.

It will be seen that the catalogues [‘‘ Notices of Sanskrit manuscripts” ] are considered incomplete in some points, which tend materially to lessen their value and usefulness, especially to Kuropean scholars, and the Government of India accordingly de- sire the insertion in the ‘‘ Notices’ of the names and addresses of the persons to whom the manuscripts belong, the places in which they are deposited, the number of pages in each manuscript, the number of lines in each page, and the peculiarities of the manu- scripts, in order to afford a ready means of identifying them here- after. The directions can be easily followed in all ‘‘ Notices” that may be published hereafter, but this is of course not possible in the volume already printed. I am, however, to suggest that effect might be given to the wishes of the Government of India by adding a supplementary list of the manuscripts drawn up numerically with the additional information. 3.

[ Jan. From E. ©. Bayley, Esq., C. 8. L., Secretary to the Government of India, Home Department, to the Officiating Secretary to the Govern- ment of Bengal, General Department,—(NVo. 3963, dated Simla, the 29th August, 1870.) Sir,—I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 2018, dated the 11th ultimo, and the enclosed correspondence, showing the operations carried on by the Asiatic Society of Bengal in regard to the discovery and preservation of records of ancient Sanskrit literature. 2. In reply I am directed to state that the efforts that have been made by the Asiatic Society to give effect to the wishes of the Government for the discovery and conservation of these Sanskrit manuscripts are satisfactory. I am, however, to point out that the catalogues received with your letter are incomplete in some points, which tend materially to lessen their value and usefulness, especi- ally to European scholars. 3. Itis very desirable that the names of the persons to whom the manuscripts belong should be inserted in the notices, as should also the places in which they are deposited. This might still be done by adding a supplementary list of the manuscripts drawn up numerically, with the names of the owners and their addresses opposite. The number of pages in each manuscript, the number of lines in each page, and the peculiarities of the manuscripts, should also be given in the catalogues, as a means of identifying them hereafter. 4, The list of persons and Societies to whom it is proposed to distribute the notices may be also considerably enlarged, and there are some inaccuracies in that list.

Srr,—I have the honor, by direction of the Council of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 11 2734, dated the 19th September last, forwarding copy of a letter from the Secretary to the Government of India, Ilome Department, No. 3963, dated Simla, the 29th August, 1870, and stating that the Notices of ‘Sanskrit Manuscripts” lately submitted by the Society ‘‘are considered incomplete in some points, which tend materially to lessen their value and usefulness, especially to European scholars,” and that the Government of India accordingly desire the compi- lation of a “ supplementary list of the manuscripts drawn up numeri- cally” with the additional information. 2. Inreply, Iam directed to state that in the blank form, annexed to the Government of India letter No. 4358, dated 8rd November, 1868, which was forwarded to the Society for its guidance, there are nine columns: 1st for number; 2nd for name, in Devanagari; 3rd for ditto, in Roman character ; 4th for subject matter and name of author ; 5th for number of pages; 6th for number of lines in each page; 7th for substance on which is written and character; 8th for names of place where and of person with whom found, and 9th for remarks regarding accuracy and peculiarities. Of these, information under the heads 4, 6, 8, 9, it is now said, is wanting in the ‘ Notices.’ On reference, however, to the Sanskrit text it will be seen that the required details regarding the 5th, 6th and 9th heads are given in the second para., and that regarding the 8th in the third para. under each name. ‘The editor has likewise added (10th) the extent of the work calculated according to the Indian method in stanzas of 32 syllables each ; 11th, the date of writing’ whenever available; 12th, the initial words or stanza; 13th, the concluding words; 14th, the colophon which in Sanskrit works serves the purpose of the title page, and 15th, a full description of the work, its contents, history, and literary notices. The Council of the Asiatic Society fail, there- fore, to perceive how it has been made out that information under some of the heads had not been supplied, and are driven to suppose that the Sanskrit portion of the “ Notices’ has been entirely over- looked by the Government of India. From a reference to those Notices, it is clear that more information of an useful character has been supplied than was asked for. 8. It might be said that if all the information had been given in English, it would have proved more convenient. But the word- 12 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Jan. ing of the original order of Government left no option to the Society in the matter. It is there distictly laid down that “ all procurable unprinted lists of Sanskrit MSS. in native Libraries should be printed uniformly in octavo, in the Nagari character,” and the editor could not depart from that positive injunction without laying him- self open to censure. The scheme contemplated no quotations or extracts, and the Nagari character could not, therefore, be limited to any one particular part. It may be added that those who will hereafter wish to identify the MSS. noticed, will be men conversant with the Sanskrit literature, and to them the Sanskrit part of the Notices will prove more useful than the English part, while to Indian scholars, at the suggestion of one of whom the work has been undertaken by Government, the Sanskrit will be the only part of use, and for years to come the English will be of no avail. It is scarcely likely that those who know nothing of Sanskrit will interest themselves much in tracing old MSS. in that language. 4. Better paper will be used for the printing of the future Nos. of the ‘ Notices.” The following copy of a minute relating to the cataloguing of Sanskrit MSS. has been received from the Secretary to the Govern- ment N. W. Provinces. “Notices oF Sanskrit MSS. by Rdjendralilé Mitra. (1.) “These Notices are most unsatisfactory. The editor states that he has taken “the catalogue of the Asiatic Society’s Library for his guide, and has noticed only such works as are not to be found in it.” (2.) ‘He carefully avoids all mention of where the MSS. he comments on are to be found. He does not state who they belong to, what their value is, or whether Government should endeavour to purchase them. (3.) “* Whenever he gives a sensible notice it seems to be taken from Max Miiller’s Sanskrit Literature. (4.) ‘A catalogue of this kind to be practically useful should contain a report of the places searched for MSS. and the place where each MS. is to be found. 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 13 _ (5.) “It should also mention whether the book is available or not to European scholars. The catalogues of the Bodleian, India Office and Berlin Libraries would shew this. Sd. J. Cyatmers.” Minute of Babu Rijendraldla Mitra on the above [in a letter addressed to the Secretary }. Mr. Chalmers’ criticisms are founded on the same imaginary shortcomings on which the Government of India commented on my unfortunate “Notices ;’ I have therefore only to refer to the reply lately forwarded to the Government of Bengal on the subject. The 1st para. of the critique contains a general observation, the value of which depends on what follows. I need not therefore no- tice it. The 2nd para. accuses me of having (1) carefully avoided all mention of where the MSS. commented upon are to be found; (2) whom they belong to; (3) what is their value; (4) and whether Government should endeavour to purchase them or not. The first three charges are, as you are aware, entirely unfounded—due either to the critic’s not knowing the Sanskrit language, or to his having failed to qualify himself for the task he has assumed, by read- ing the Sanskrit portion of the Notices which would have at once shown him that the required information has been duly furnished. The last charge cannot be fairly brought against me. I am required by Government to print lists, and nothing but lists, in order that Sanskrit scholars in Europe and India may point out what MSS. should be purchased. The words of the Government letter are: ‘“‘To print uniformly all procurable un- printed lists of Sanskrit manuscripts in Indian Libraries, and to send them to the various learned Societies of Europe, and to individual scholars in Europeand India, with an intimation thatthe Government will carefully attend to their suggestions as to which of the manu- scripts therein mentioned should be examined, or transcribed.” I have quoted this part of the letter in my Preface, and as Mr. Chal- mers has read it, he should have suggested what MSS. are worth having, and not found fault with me for not doing what he as a 14 Proceedings of the Asvatic Socrety. [ Jan. scholar and others are required to do. Sanskrit scholars in Ben- gal are exceedingly averse to sell MSS., but when opportunities do offer I never fail to take advantage of them, and purchase for Government whatever, in my humble opinion, appears valuable. The 3rd para., without directly charging me with having cribbed from Max Miiller’s ancient Sanskrit Literature, insinuates that I have done so. I cannot but take this as unfair. Ihave given the name of Max Miiller whenever I have quoted from him, and shall be glad to be shewn an instance to the contrary. The 4th para. repeats the first charge of the 2nd, and therefore calls for no further remark. The 5th contains a suggestion, but the published portion of the ** Notices” should have shewn to Mr. Chalmers that it was uncalled for. Ihave quoted from Aufrecht’s Catalogi codicum manuscripto- rum Bibliothecae Bodleianae, and from Weber’s Verzeichniss der Sanskrit-Handschriften, the only Berlin catalogue accessible to me. Mr. Chalmers seems not to be aware that no catalogue of the India House Library has yet been published, and therefore it is impos- sible to quote from it. I have lately got a MS. list of the contents of that Library through the kindness of Dr. Rost, and intend to notice it when necessary. The real cause of the misunderstanding lies in the expectation that the Notices should serve the purpose of a catalogue raissoné which they do not profess to do, nor were they originally re- quired to do. The Society undertook to supply only lists in the Nagari character of MSS. still extant in the country, with brief notes of their contents, in order that future scholars in Europe may be enabled to compile a complete catalogue of Sanskrit literature, and not to supply that desideratum now. The Government is of opinion that the time has not yet come for a comprehensive scheme of this kind, and if this be borne in mind, the ‘‘ Notices’ will not be found to be so defective as they are said to be. The President placed on the table diagrams exhibiting the diurnal oscillations of the barometer observed by him at Dal- housie during a portion of last October. He did so, not on account of the merits of these curves, for they were only rough approxima- 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 15 tions to the truth, but in order to press on the attention of members of the Society the importance of observations of this kind in India. He mentioned the part which, according to a very generally re- ceived theory, the presence of vapour had in effecting the double maximum, and pointed out that this country seemed to afford extraordinary opportunity for the complete investigation of this subject. Col. the Hon’ble R. Strachey begged to differ altogether from the views put forward by the President, and characterized the doctrine which attributes the daily oscillations of the barometric pressure solely to the influence of vapour in the atmosphere as a dogma. The actual tension of vapour at any place does not represent the portion of the total atmospheric pressure, due to the pressure of the vapour, and the difference between the total pressure and the vapour tension is not the pressure of the dry air. The very nu- merous barometric and hygrometric observations which he (Col. Strachey) had made in the plains of India and in the Himalayas, up to elevations of between 18 and 19000 feet, speak entirely against this view—which he thought had first been put forward by General Sabine,—inasmuch as the same fiuctuations in the total pres- sure, which are to be observed in the plains, are equally marked at high elevations in Tibet, where there is extremely little moisture in the atmosphere. Col. Strachey referred to a paper which he had published on the subject some years ago in the Proceedings of the Royal Society on the distribution of vapour in the atmos- phere, in which the data for the above conclusions of his were given at length. He said that the day maximum and minimum are un- questionably connected with the heating of the air by sun, and can be explained by the dispersion of the air over that part of the earth’s surface where the temperature is highest, and its accumula- tion to the east and west of the most heated area. That this is the true cause of the phenomenon is also indicated by the fact, proved by observation, that the time of day maximum and mini- mum change according to the hour at which the sun rises and sets in different localities. The explanation of the nocturnal maxima and minima is more difficult, but they are probably secondary results of the diurnal changes of temperature. 16 Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. [ Jan. Colonel Strachey noticed certain modifications of the usual daily maxima and minima in the atmospheric pressures, to be observed in the hills, These must be considered as purely local, and are to be explained as caused by certain disturbances of the planes of equal pressure in the air, due to the unequal expansion of the variable depth of air over the plains and mountain slopes, which again are followed by currents of air between the plains and the hills. During the day, the air is heated over the plain and forms a superior current toward the mountain, at night the converse takes place and gives rise to an inferior current towards the plain. These changes are quite analogous to the daily sea and land-breeze. Dr. Stoliczka observed that he was struck with the great regu- larity with which the maxima and minima in the atmospheric pres- sure return at high elevation. He had made observations for two successive years on the elevated plains of Tibet, between 15 and 20,000 feet, and found that as arule the maxima fell about the hour of 10 a.m. and 11 P.m., the minima between 8 and 5p. m. and about 3 A.M. Certainly the regular oscillations of the atmosphere in these regions could not be attributed to the existence of vapour, for there is almost none whatever present. The annual rain fall searee- ly amounts to half an inch. In reply to remarks which fell from Col. Strachey, the President said that nothing could be further from his mind than any intention to set up or maintain the ‘“‘ dogma” which Col. Strachey attributed to him. In truth he had brought the matter forward solely for the purpose of urging that observation and research were still needed, and that the peculiar facilities of India in this respect were neg- lected. We had it in our power to make observations, with varia- tions of condition as to elevation, humidity and temperature, such as could hardly be secured elsewhere. We could almost be said to be able to experiment in this subject, so great were our oppor- tunities of making simultaneous observations at different heights in pretty nearly the same vertical line, and at variously situated stations, distributed overa largely extended surface of the earth. The advantages offered by the character, and position of the coun- try for analysis of the elements of the problem and comparison of results seemed to be ina great measure unheeded. They could only 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. 17 be effectively made use of by combined action, and of this at pre- sent it could hardly be said that there was any. _ The following papers were brought before the meeting. 1.

Mr. Blyth records his belief that the skull of Zestudo Phayrei, which was transferred from Dr. Falconer’s collection to the British Museum, belongs to a specimen of the same tortoise in the Society’s collection ; it was originally sent to the Calcutta Museum by Sir A. J. Phayre from Arracan. The fact was first noticed by Mr. W. Theobald, but its correctness was disputed by Dr. J. E. Gray in one of the late numbers of the Athenzeum. 3. From S. E.

The lizard is largely used medicinally in various diseases, and is particularly highly valued as an aphrodisiac by the Muhammadans. Ht is commonly known under the names of regmahé, or the sandfish, regzadah, or the descendant of sand, and sugungir, which word is said to be of Greek origin. Scincs, and also the common green European lizards, had been formerly largely used by medieval European physicians, who attributed to them most wonderful medicinal virtues in all kind of diseases. In India the scinc is taken in the form of a paste mixed with saffron, cardamum and other spices, or in the form of a powder with beetle leaf, but it is never prescribed by Hindu physicians. The following gentlemen were elected ordinary members :— A. P. Howell, Esq. Babu Kaliprasanna Ghosha. Capt. B. Rogers, B. 8. C. C. F. Bligh, Esq. Ch. Sanderson, Esq. The following gentlemen are candidates for ballot at the next meeting :— Capt. C. Stewart Pratt, Adjt. 34, N. I., Morar, proposed by Mr. Wood-Mason, seconded by Col. H. Hyde.

Partridge who has resigned his trustee- ship on leaving India. The President also communicated a proposition of the Council that Ch. Darwin, Esq., be elected an honorary member of the Society. The President said that according to the provisions of Rule 6 of the Bye-laws of the Society, the Council should, in the case of a pro- position for the election of an honorary member, state the grounds on which the recommendation is based. In the present case, the President thought it would scarcely be necessary to say anything more in support of the proposition of the Council, than to recall the very great influence which the works of the author of the ‘ Origin of species,’ ‘ Animals and plants under domestication’ and the ‘ Descent of Man’ had upon the study of natural history in every one of its branches. Few can claim such a thoroughly philosophical treatment of natural history, as Ch. Darwin, who is justly styled the naturalist of the day. The ballot will take place at the next meeting of the Society. The following letters were read :— 1. From Major Stubbs—on a Muhammadan coin. Mr. Blochmann said :—The coin of which Major Stubbs has sent a rubbing, is a most curious one. It was struck in A. H. 1202, (A. D., 1788) by Muhammad Bedar Bakht, whom the notorious Ghulim Qadir, on the 22nd Shawwé4l, 1202 (26th July, 1788) placed upon the throne of Dihli. The reign of this puppet king, who was a son of Ahmad Shah, was of short duration. When he was first brought forward, Shah ’Alam (II) was still upon the throne. Ghulim Qadir, sword in hand, made him descend, and sent him to his apartments, and three days later made the new emperor inflict corporal punishment upon his venerable predecessor. He used to lounge on the throne, side by side with Bedir Bakht,} whom he covered with abuse and ridicule, 98 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ May, as he smoked the hugqah into his face ; and on the 12th day after the accession, he destroyed the same throne for the plating which still adhered to it. On the 7th September, 1788, Ghulam Qadiy left Dilhi, sending Bedar Bakht before him, and threw himself in- to the fort of Mirat. On the 21st December, he was attacked by the Mahrattas under Rana Khan and De Boigne, and distrustful of his Pathans, he escaped the next day, when he was caught and sent a prisoner to Sindiah. Bedaér Bakht was carried to Dihli, where he was confined and ultimately slain.* A drawing of the coin will be published in the Journal. 2. From Babu Rashbih4ri Bose,—dated Banka, 8th April, 1871,— “T have at last seen the Hindu work on Kharakpur, which I have repeatedly mentioned to you, but instead of being a History of Kharakpur, as I had expected it to be, it is unfortunately filled with descriptions of the beauty of six hundred Ranis of one of the Rajahs of Kharakptr. The only thing interesting in it is the line of succession it gives of the Rajahs, which is as follows :— 1. Sangram Shah. 2. ta Mall. 38. ate Singh. 4, Tahawwur Singh. 5. Kaigobéa. 6. owe re wisi ’Ali. Tt is this last Rajah who owned 600 Ranis. The author of the work is one Brahmo Dutt Chobay, a native of Ch’hetar (in my Sub- Division), who wrote in Falgoon, 1807, Sambat, when the Rajah was living. From the work it would appear that the Kharakpur Rajahs trace their descent from the Solar race of the Kendowar caste. It is plain from the above table that Toral Mall is identical with the Rajah whom the Muhammadan Historians call Roz-afatin, so named after his conversion to Islam. According to popular le- * Vide Keene’s Mogul Empire, pp. 172 to 183, 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 99 gends, as mentioned in my account of Kharakpitir, it was this prince who carried on a hopeless war with the Muhammadans, and being subsequently conveyed as a prisoner to Dihli, and converted to Islam, had to marry a daughter or a relative of the emperor, who thereupon granted him several large pergunnahs as jagir by way of dowry. All the incidents related by me of this prince, such as his dreams, his flight, his refuge in Musakhol, his subsequent captivity, conversion and marriage, the suicide of his wife over a burning pile, and of his five daughters in the cataract of Panch- ‘kumar, seem to agree with what is related of him in Muhammadan Histories. But it would appear that nearly all this happened during his father’s lifetime, and that he took a prominent part in his father’s wars,—unless we suppose that, after his father’s death, he contrived to make his escape from Dihli, and carry on a war with his father’s enemies from 1606 to 1615, when he was made a prisoner and converted to Islam. It is worthy of notice that Toral Mall’s father was called San- gram Shah (from Sangrém meaning battle), and not Singram, as the Muhammadan Historians seem to call him. Khorgo Singh from whom some would like to derive the name of Kharakpur, was brother to Sangram Singh. I am now in a position to reply to the queries contained in your letter of the 10th December last. 1. Mahda is a place about 6 miles north from Kharakpir. It is called Mahda, or Mahd& Chak. I have not been able to ascer- tain whether there are remains of a fort at that place. 2. There are two places named after Rajah Bihriz. One of these is in pargannah Shikarébada, about 4 miles north-east of Kharakpir. Another is 6 miles south from Kharakptir,—near a place called Dadri, famous in the legend of Dobay Bhyrum, a deified Brahman Astrologer who figures conspicuously in the his- tory of the Khetauri Rajahs,—a legend which, together with sever- al ballads relating to some other deified personages, I intend to send to the Asiatic Society. There are several other places in Kharakpir named after the successive Rijahs of the place. For instance, there is Muzaffar- gan) from Muzaffar ’Ali, Faiz ’Aliganj from Faiz ’Ali, Qadir- 100 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ May, ganj from Qadir ’Ali, Afzinganj from Afzin, and Iqbdlganj from Iqbal ’Ali. 3. There are at present no Rajahs of Kharakpur in the dis- trict, all their estates including the jagirs granted by the em- peror having been sold a few years ago by Mr. Latour by public auction, which led to long and harassing litigation. There are some illegitimate children of the last Rajah still surviving. I may as well mention here the remaining Rajahs of Kharakpur subse- quent to the table given above. Faiz ’Ali succeeded Muzaffar ’Ali, and was succeeded by Qadir ’Ali, who was succeeded in his turn by Iqbal ’Ali, who again was succeeded by Rahmat ’Ali, with whom the line became extinct.’’ The following papers were read :— I.—Sryze or press in Ancient Inp14, by Babu Rajendralala Mitra,—(Abstract.) Buchanan Hamilton, in his ‘“ Eastern India,” first started the opinion that the ancient Hindus knew not the art of preparing needle-made dresses ; and it has since been adopted by Dr. Forbes Watson, Mrs. Manning, Dr. John Muir and others. The pre- mises, however, on which this opinion is founded, appear to be untenable. Mention is made of the needle and sewing in the Rig Veda, which dates from twelve centuries before the Christian era according to the lowest computation, and.the existence of those words in the language cannot be accounted for, except on the sup- position that the people who used them knew and had what they meant. Itis also argued that it is very unlikely, that the heroes of the Vedic age, who were able to forge, and were in the habit of using, armour and mail coats, never came to the idea of fashioning their clothes into made dresses, References are likewise made to the Raméyana, the Mahabharata and other ancient Sanskrit works to show that they allude to dresses which could not have been other than needle-made and shaped. The most overwhelming proofs on the subject are, however, met with in sculptures. Though the bulk of the human figures at Sanchi, Amaravati and Orissa are nudes or semi-nudes, still there are some which bear unmistakeable evidence of the antiquity of Indian made dresses. Among the Sénchi bas- reliefs there are several figures dressed in tunics which could never ery 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 101 have been fashioned without the aid of needles ; those of the two archers, one of them the Buddhist King, Piliyuk of Benares, figured in Mr. Fergusson’s ‘Tree and Serpent Worship,’ (plate xxxvi) are particularly remarkable, inasmuch as the chapkans there shown are peculiarly Hindu, and the like of them has nowhere else been seen. On a Buddhist rail-post from Buddha Gayd4 which probably dates from a time earlier than the Sanchi rail, and which is now preserved in the Indian Museum, there are two figures fully dressed from the neck to the middle of the lege in a garment which appears strongly like the yamd of the present day. At Amaravati, there are also several figures dressed in tunics which owe their shape to the tailor’s art. (Vide Fergusson’s plates Ixvi, lxxxiv), The Orissan sculptures offer even more positive proofs. In the Queen’s palace (Rani Nour), among the rock-rut caves of Khandagiri there is a statue 4’—6” in height, cut out of the solid rock, which is dressed in a close fitting chapkan, with the skirts hanging down four inches below the knee, and having sleeves down to the wrist. Over the chapkan there is a - haubert or coat of chain mail, the sleeves of which reach the elbow. A light scarf is wrapped round the waist, and its ends hang on the sides, holding on the left side a short sword. The head is partially mutilated, but there are traces on it of a twisted turban. The legs and the feet are enclosed in thick high boots or buskins. The age of the figure is supposed to be the third century before Christ, and the existence of chapkan, chain mail and boots at the time, it is believed, must be accepted as the most conclusive evidence on the subject. The dress differs so entirely from the chiton, the chlamys, the himation, and such other vestments as the soldiers of Alexander brought to India, that they cannot be accepted as Indian modifications of the Grecian dress, even if it were possible, which it is not, to suppose that such a foreign dress would at once be imitated in stone many hundreds of miles away from the place where it was exhibited in India, The dress reappears on some of the Amardavati bas-reliefs. Among the sculptures on the temples of Bhuyanesvara there are representations of coats, kilts, boddices, ghagra, payajima, and other articles of needle-made dress, some of them on gods and goddesses, and they cannot but be accepted as 102 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ May, indigenous. Among the Ajanta frescoes there are also traces of flowing dresses with sleeves, and they all tend to show that the Hindus knew, and did use, made dresses long before the advent of the Muhammadans in India. In reply to the remark of Capt. Meadows Taylor, in which he says that the Hindus had no tailors among them, and that there is no word in their language for tailors, it is shown that in the Vocabulary of Amara Sinha, which dates from before the Christian era, there are two words for tailors, one, tunnavaya, applying to darning, and the other, sauchika, to general tailoring : the derivation of the last word is given in Panini’s rules. The profession of the latter was of sufficient importance to necessitate the establishment of a separate tribe, and a mixed class, the lawful issue of Vaisyas by Sudra women, was, according to the ancient law-book of Usanas, destined to live by it, and bear the distinctive title of needle-men, suchika. Sanskrit words are next quoted to show the names which vari- ous kinds of made dresses bore in ancient times ; the most remark- able of these being kanchuka, kanchulika, kurpasa, angika, cholaka, chola, nivi, §c. The first indicated the modern jdmd, and warders, guards, and the personal attendants of kings generally dressed themselves in it. Kings, princes, chiefs and warriors, when they did not put on chain mail, wore a tunic, something closely like a chapkan. While ordinary people contented themselves with the simple dhuti and chadar, not unoften supplemented by a turban, Among women, the boddice was in general use, the body clothes consisting of either a sdri or a ghagra; the former predominating, When respectable women went out of their houses, they generally wrapped themselves in a chudder thrown over their ordinary dress. Sculptures, however, do not, in all cases, support the above deduc- tions, and nudity is the prevailing character of the bas-reliefs of Sanchi, Amaravati, and Orissa, The question is, therefore, raised as to how far those sculptures may be taken as evidences on the subject. On the one hand, it is difficult to reject the testimony of authentic graven stones ; on the other, the ancient records of the Hindus and the Buddhists, equally authentic, are in direct conflict withthem, The former represent queens, princesses and ladies of rank in perfect 1871, ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 103 deshabille ; while the latter insist upon decency, modesty and covering of the person as of the utmost importance. Looking, however, to the facts that in many instances clothing is represented on females, but not to cover their modesty ; men and even children are clothed, but wives and mothers are left without any covering ; horses are covered with housings, but female beholders of the highest rank, standing in the verandas of two-storied houses and decked with a profusion of rich jewels, are made to content themselves with the raiment of the atmosphere ; it is concluded that the prevailing character of the bas- reliefs and statues of Sanchi and Amardvati is due, not so much to ethnic or social causes as, to the exigencies of art. No doubt the scantily clad Tamulian aboriginal races formed the great bulk of Buddhist congregations, and were more freely and plentifully repre- sented on the monuments of their co-religionists than the Aryans, but their presence alone does not suffice to account for all the pecu- liarities noticed. It is supposed, therefore, that a conventional rule of art, such as has made the sculptors of Europe prefer the nude to the draped figure; or a prevailing desire to display the female contour in all its attractiveness; or the unskilfulness of early art; or the difficulty of chiseling drapery on such coarse materials as were ordinarily accessible in this country ; or a combination of some, or all, those causes exercised a more potent influence on the action of the Indian artist than ethnic or social peculiarities in developing the human form in stone. There was likewise, it is to be pre- sumed, a longing for variety, and a pruriency of imagination and design, which made the males appear in dresses of diverse kinds and the females in a state of nature. At Bhuvanes/vara a religious sentiment, that of veneration for the creative energy or phallic worship, was evidently also brought to bear upon art, and to produce an effect highly offensive to good taste. But whether so or not, it would, the author of the paper is of opinion, be as effectual to draw our conclusions regarding the costumes of the ancient In- dians solely and exclusively from the sculptures they have left behind them, as it would be for the New-Zealander of Macaulay to do the same with reference to the Europeans of the 19th cen- tury from the collection of modern statuary in the Crystal Palace at Kensington or the Louvre. 104 Proceedings of the Asiatic Soctety. [ May, T.—A History or tuz Garx’nars, by J. G. Delmerick, Esq., Rawul Pindee. (Abstract.) Mr. Blochmann read extracts from the paper, which is to be pub- lished in the forthcoming number of Part I, of the Journal, for 1871. He said—'The historical notes collected by Mr. Delmerick are most interesting, and comprise nearly every notice of the tribe found in the Muhammadan Historians of India. Mr, Delmerick mentions above forty chiefs who ruled over the tribe from the time of Mahmitd Ghazni till our age. The present chief, Karam Dad Khan, receives from the Government a small pension as a sort of compensation for the losses suffered by his family during the Sikh Rule. For the early history of the tribe, the author has used traditional information obtained by him on the spot, and there is no doubt that the principal facts are reliable. The Akbarnamah places the final settlement of the Gakk’hars in the Rawul Pindi District somewhat later than local traditions, Mr. Blochmann also mentioned that among the historical MSS. of the Society, there was a short history of Gakk’hars, presented some time ago by Major Pearse, who, on various occasions had con- tributed to the collections of the Society. There was a note on the fly-leaf of the MS. by the donor, according to which the work is “an extract from a larger work found at Rohtds.” Mr, Del- merick, to whom the book had been sent, says regarding it— “‘T consider it an original production from the brain of Donee Chand, the grandfather of Réizideh Ratan Chand of Goliana, zillah Rawul Pindi, the head of the ancient Qintingo family, I had already seen a copy of it. I believe the few historical facts contained in it have been scraped together from various histories, and chiefly from the legends or tales related by the bhdts of the country, par- ticularly from the family bhét of the Gakk’hars, at Kwi, zillah Rawul Pindi. The work was compiled by order of Major James Abbott, Deputy Commissioner of Hazara, and as Major Pearse was an Assistant Commissioner there for some time, he must have pro- cured a copy of it from the Deputy Commissioner. It is perfectly worthless.” 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Socvety. 105 Mr. Lethbridge observed that, with regard to the occupation of Tibet by the Gakk’hars, it may be interesting to note the similarity between certain forms of the names of the chief towns of the Gakk’hars (which are properly Dangili and Pharwala), and of those of Tibet, which are Lassa and Putala. De Laét, writing in 1631, speaks of ‘‘ Kakares, whose chief towns are Dankaler and Purhola, a very broad and mountainous region, divided from Tartary by the ridges of the Caucasus.’ Mandelsloe calls the district ‘ Kakires, with the chief towns Dankalen and Binsola.”’ Rennell tells us, that the Tibetan capitals are sometimes called Baronthala and Putala, and sometimes Zonker and Putala.

This method will therefore answer with batteries of small internal resistance. But in the case of batteries consisting of a large number of cells joined in series (such batteries, in fact, as are necessarily in use in the Indian Telegraph on account of the great length of the lines) the internal battery resistance is itself large. Consequently, with such batteries it is impossible to use any cheap galvanometer, that is, a galvanometer not containing a large amount of wire, which will fulfil the condition that the galvano- meter resistance shall be large compared with the battery resistance. The electromotive forces, therefore, of such batteries can only be very roughly compared by using the so-called ‘intensity’ coil, unless the internal resistances of the batteries be in some way previously ascertained. The internal resistance, if high, could be found in the following way: 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 219 let d be the deflection given by the battery when the “ intensity” coil of resistance G is used, and let d’ be the deflection given when the “ quantity” coil of resistance G’ is used, then from equation (1) we have, since both the coils are wound on one bobbin and the magnetic needle is the same in both cases, n EB d RAG ad’ n KE where and n’ are respectively the number of convolutions in the coils nx Gxd—-n xG@Gxd nxXd—nXd The resistance of different batteries, or of the same battery on R= different days, can be found in this way and then the ratio of their electromotive forces from equation II. This is a very round-about way of comparing electromotive forces, but is nevertheless the only way in which it can be done with the so-called ‘ intensity” and * quantity” galvanometer coils if the battery resistance be large. If now the question be to determine simply the resistance of a battery when the resistance is small, that of one cell for example, then it is impossible to get an accurate result with the ‘‘ intensity” and “ quantity” coils, for we see from equation (I) that if R be small compared with G, then a small percentage of change in # will produce no practical change in d, that is to say, when using the ‘‘intensity’’ coil the deflection will be practically the same whatever the resistance of the battery may be, as long as it is small compared with the resistance of the ‘‘ intensity’ coil. Therefore with the “intensity” and “ quantity” coils we cannot find accurately the resistance of a battery if small, and, secondly, we cannot compare the electromotive forces of two batteries without previously determining their internal resistances if the internal resistances be large. Such an instrument, therefore, for battery test- ing as Latimer Clark’s Shunt Galvanometer which is arranged virtu- ally on the principle I have been describing does not at all meet the requirements of the Indian Telegraph Department. And besides the instruments of this description that have been received are . 220 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Sepr. exccedingly unsensitive for small differences, and also with the ‘‘intensity” coil 30, 40, or 50 cells all produce nearly the same deflection (90°) so that it is impossible practically with this galva- nometer to compare the electromotive forces, or to find the inter- nal resistances of large batteries. What therefore is required is an instrument which will give independent accurate measurements in absolute units of the electro- motive force and internal resistance of any battery. Such an instrument will be still more valuable if it be simple, portable, and tolerably cheap. All these requirements have been fulfilled in the little galvanometer arranged by Mr. Schwendler, and which therefore I have considered of sufficient interest to bring before the notice of this Society. This galvanometer that I have on the table is a tangent galvanometer the bobbin of which is wound with two coils one of thick wire and having a resistance of about one Siemens’ Unit, and the other of thin wire and having a resistance of about 100 Siemens’ units. Forming part of this instrument are two resistance coils of 200 and 2000 Siemens’ units respectively. The 200 coil can be placed or not at pleasure in circuit with the thick galvanometer coil, and similarly the 2000 resistance coil with the thin galvanometer coil. To (1) (see pl. iv,) is attached one end of each of the coils. To (2) the other end of the thick coil. To (3) the other end of the thin coil. To measure the Resistance of a Battery. Join the two poles of the battery to the two binding screws respectively of the galvanometer, and make the following observa- tions, in each case the mean of the readings with + and — currents to be taken. Plug up holes marked A and 200: then the battery, and the thick coil only are in circuit. Let the deflection of the needle be a°. Remove plug from hole marked 200, but leave plug in hole marked A: then the battery, the thick coil, and a resistance of 200 8. U. are incircuit, Let the deflection be 0°.

The Chairman, briefly referring to the sad loss which the Society had experienced by the cruel assassination of the late Offg. Chief- Justice, stated that the Council of the Society, of which Mr. Norman had for many years been an active and zealous member, had, at their last meeting, recorded their own expression of the pain with which 226 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Ocr. they had heard of the murder, which had deprived them of a long- esteemed colleague and friend. It appeared also to the Council that probably the Members themselves would prefer, at their general meeting, to put on the records of the Society a resolution expres- sive of their horror of the deed, which has so suddenly deprived them of one who was beloved by all that had the advantage of his acquaintance, and who had, from a few months after his arrival in the country, been a member of their Society, and a frequent and much-interested attendant at their meetings. If this were so, he would take the opportunity of proposing the following resolution— ‘The Society would desire to record the pain and sorrow with which they have heard of the cowardly murder of the late Chief- Justice Norman, in whom they have lost an earnest and truth- seeking supporter, an esteemed member of the Society, and a much respected friend.’ He believed it would, from the feeling of the meeting, be un- necessary that this should be formally seconded, as it would be carried without the slightest opposition. Carried unanimously. The Chairman also proposed that the Secretary should send copies of resolutions of the Society and the Council, together with a letter of condolence, to Mrs. Norman, and further, that out of respect to the memory of the late Chief-Justice, the meeting be adjourned. Carried unanimously. After announcing the receipt of the following paper, the Chair- man adjourned the meeting.

It commences with a short note on the Sikkim fauna and remarks on the peculiarity of a belt of country, inhabited by animals with Malay affinities, intervening along the base and lower slopes of" the Hastern Himalayas between the fauna of the Indian plains and the Palearctic region of the higher mountains. The peculiar 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society, 227 paucity, during summer, in Sikkim, of the migratory birds, which visit the plains of India during the winter, is pointed out, and the occasional replacement of those species which cross the Hima- layas twice in the year, but do not breed there, by allied forms which never leave the mountains except as occasional stragglers. The greater portion of the paper is devoted to notes on the range, habits, &c., of mammals and birds noticed by the writer in the Palearctic regions of Sikkim, with occasional descriptions of the rarer species, or of peculiar phases of coloration or plumage. ‘Two birds are described as new. These are— Montifringilla ruficollis, sp. nov. Pale umber above with darker streaks, the forehead whitish and the rump rufescent, a dark line from the lores, beneath the eye, and over the ear coverts; the latter and the sides of the neck ferruginous ; the outer web of the first primary, a wing band formed by a large spot on the basal portion of the inner web of most of the secondaries, and the greater part of the smaller wing coverts white ; all the basal portion of the tail feathers except the two middle ones cinereous, then a little white, and the tips for half an inch brown like the middle feathers. Lower parts white with two black diverging lines on the chin In the female the ferruginous collar is brown behind and appears, to extend across the front of the neck. Length 6 inches, wing 3.75, tail 2.35, tarsus 0.82, bill from forehead 0.42, The general coloration differs from that of the three other species belonging to restricted Montifringilla. That it is not the winter plumage of Jf. Adamsi is proved by that bird having more white on the tail and much narrower brown tips to the outer rectrices than the present species, and by its having the ends of some of the secondary quills white. Otocoris Hlwesi, sp. nov. This is near O. penicillata, but distin- guished by the white of the sides of the neck intervening between the black of the cheeks and that of the breast. It is smaller than O. longirostris, and has a much shorter bill. The black on the head and breast is arranged as in O. alpestris, the back is pale fulvous brown with faint dusky streaks and passing into greyish lilac on the nape, back of neck, rump and wing coverts, the quills brown, the first primary with the outer web white, the middle rectrices the same 228 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Ocr. colour as the back, all the rest blackish, the two outer on each side edged and tipped with white ; lower parts white, legs black.

Oldham, Esq., LL. D., Vice-President, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The following presentations were laid on the table— 1.—From Capt. W. L. Samuells, Assist. Commissioner, Pachum- ba, Chord line,—Two copper axes. The following letter accompanied the donation— ‘In my letter to you which accompanied the inscriptions, I men- tioned to you that some singular looking pieces of copper had been accidentally found by a native of this district in digging for bam- boo roots on the top of a hillock. I am sending you the only two specimens I have, and may as well tell you the circumstances under which I came by them. ‘On returning to Pachumba this year from the Rewah frontier, I set about making enquiries as to whether there were any known ruins or rock excavations in the neighbourhood, and one day in talking to an old resident of the place on this subject, he mentioned to me that last year a native had brought Mr. Heyne, the Man- ager of the Bengal Coal Company’s mines at Kurhurbaree, some three or four very curious looking pieces of copper, which he had dug out of a hillock on the borders of this subdivision. On enquiry I found that Mr. Heyne had given them all away, but I managed to recover one, which I can’t help thinking may have served asa head for a battle-axe. I have mounted it on a handle in true primitive fashion, and I leave you to judge whether a man with such a wea- pon in his hands could not lay about him with some meaning. Some who have seen it, think that it is made of bronze, others that it is pure copper; but that it has been formed by moulding in 232 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. — [ Nov. sand, I think there is not a doubt of. At all events, the find was an interesting one, and I was consequently induced a few days ago to start off from here with the intention of visiting the locality, and having further excavations made under my own superintendence. I, therefore, went last Friday to the village where the finder of the articles lived, and on his appearing before me, he produced another piece of copper of the same weight as the supposed axe-head (83 tbs), but elliptical in shape. What this can have been it is hard to conjecture. The native informed me that he had found five pieces altogether, three of which he gave to Mr. Heyne,* one to Mr. F. Peppé, the manager of the Gawan Estate (District Hazareebagh) and the fifth he that day put before me. He got them all within a cubit’s depth of the surface of a hillock which covers an area of about 4 local cottahs (7. ¢., about 10 or 12 cottahs of the Bengal standard measure), and there are, he says, several other hillocks near it, some larger and some smaller. But he refused to point out the locality, and gave a whole string of frivo- lous excuses for not doing so; but when I got him to myself he told me the true reason, and I cannot refrain from relating it as it is a curious instance of superstition. ‘It appears that this man, whose name is Anup Teli, cultivated land about this very hillock, and he told me that the night after he found these things, he had a dream in which a bhut of terrible aspect appeared before him. He was no ordinary looking spirit, but of prodigious proportions, his skin being red and his clothes black, whilst a profusion of hair hung down his back from his head to his heels, each hair being as thick as aman’s wrist. Hav- ing dismounted from a tiger which had carried him to Antp’s door, he entered the hut and pointing to the copper pieces, in- formed Anip that they were his (the dbhut’s) property. Anup at once expressed his willingness to give them up, but the bhit was for none of them. He wanted in exchange four hairs off Anup’s right knee, and in the bargain offered to relinquish all claim to the treasure which he said lay buried under the other hillocks in that locality. But the much-coveted hairs Anup would not part with at any price. So the d/iut mounted his tiger, * Two of these were taken to Calcutta, by Dr, F. Stoliczka, Palecontologist, Geological Survey of India. 1871.] : Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. 233 and trotted off in high dudgeon. When the day broke, Anup proceeded to do a little ploughing before resuming his excavations at the hillock ; but as he passed that spot, one of his bullocks dropped down stone-dead, and within a few days the remaining two bullocks which he possessed died also. Upon this he deserted that place, and took up his residence in the village where he now lives. This, he says, happened three years ago, and till last year he concealed these copper pieces, which he believed to be gold; but thinking he might then realise something by them, he carried them off in great secrecy to Mr. Heyne, to whom he imparted the information of where he had found them, But this little indiscretion brought fresh troubles on him ; for when he returned home, his little girl sickened and died. For this reason he said he never would tell another soul where the hillocks were and much less would he venture near the locality to point them out. ‘I believe the man from his demeanour to have been thoroughly sincere in his belief that evil would befal him, if he disclosed any- thing further that would lead others to the place ; for I used every kind of persuasion without avail, and even offered him Rs. 20 on the spot, but he begged me not to press him and assured me in a whisper that Mr. Heyne knew the exact place, as he had made a note of it in his pocket book. Finding now that such is the case, it is clear that the man had no motives of personal .gain, as I at first thought, in withholding the information from me; whilst the fact of his refusing the Rs. 20, being under ordinary circumstances a most unusual trait of native character, proves that his fears were at all events genuine.’ The Chairman, in soliciting any remarks which the members desired to offer on this very interesting find of Captain Samuells, said, that the specimens which he would send round, were, if intend- ed for weapons or implements of any kind, of the rudest form, There could not be a doubt that they were, one entirely so, and the other to the extent of more than half its surface, simply the bloom, derived from the small copper furnaces which were known to have been in use with the old smelters or workers in copper in the country, and of which little smelting pots examples still remained, One, as he said, was entirely so. It bore all the marks of the fine earth or sand into which it was run, a rudely circular or slightly 234 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. : [Nov. oval thin plate of copper, just as the melted metal would natur- ally spread out, if poured out in the semi-viscous state in which such little pots would yield it. On this piece there was not a trace of hammering or of the application of any tool. The second on the other hand, though precisely similar to the first for one half its surface, had the other portion beaten and hammered up to a straight line, the two ends of this being hammered out into two shoulders or two semicircularly curved recesses, which would be admirably suited for the application of a handle formed of a split bamboo or stick, as Captain Samuells has applied it. But the curious part of itis, that is, if these were so intended for the application of a handle,— and with such a handle unquestionably the heavy mass of copper would form a rude, but very effective, axe or club, though not a cut- ting tool,—I say if this were the intention, itis doubly strange, that those who knew so well how to hammer this part so neatly into shape, should not also have hammered out the edge, so as to forma sharp cutting surface. This edge now remains with all the roughness and thickness of the old bloom just as it flowed from the melting pot. ‘‘T believe the metal has not been examined as yet, so that I am unable to say whether it be pure copper or not, but it looks as if it were so. ‘‘ The discovery of any copper implements is of high interest, and while, thanking Captain Samnells for this contribution, it is hoped that the discovery may stimulate others to searching for such evi- dence of the state of metallurgical knowledge among the ancient dwellers in these lands. “T may mention that within a few miles of where these copper blooms were found, there is a very large excavation, stretching for nearly half a mile on a local lode of copper ore. In this the ore is probably too diffused to pay for working now, but a very consider- able quantity of copper must have been extracted from this place in olden times.” 2.—From J. M, Foster, Esq., M. D., through Mr. J. Wood Mason—three Asém small silver coins. Babu Pratapa Chander Ghoshe, Assistant Secretary, said that the largest of the three coins contains the name of ‘ Sri Brajandth Singh, the king,’ and the two smaller that of ‘Sri Gaurinath.’ No years are mentioned, 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 235 The President mentioned that he had seen a complete collection of Asim coins with Mr. Leonard. The following gentleman duly proposed and seconded at the last meeting was balloted for, and elected Ordinary Member— J. M. Foster, Esq., M. D., Nazeerah, Assam. The following gentlemen are candidates for ballot at the next meeting. Capt. W. L. Samuells, Assistant Commissioner, Pachumba, Chord line, proposed by Col. E. T. Dalton, C. 8. I., seconded by Mr. H. Blochmann. 8S. E. Peal, Esq., Sibsagar, Asim, proposed by Mr. J. Wood- Mason, seconded by Mr. H. Blochmann. The Chairman said he had to report on the part of the Council that they had had under consideration the terms of Rule 29. By this rule, as now worded, it was compulsory on the Society to hold a meeting in each month inthe year. Practically, however, it was found that during the months of September and October, it was ex- tremely doubtful whether a sufficient number of members could be brought together to constitute a meeting, and rarely has it been that on one or other of the meeting evenings in these months, there had not been an adjournment, as there was not a quorum. Fur- ther than this which is the practical result—it has been felt, that with the seriously increased duties now devolving on the Secreta- ries, in editing the Journal and the Proceedings, it was not just or fair to those officers, who it must be remembered are purely hon- orary officers, to keep their time so pressingly occupied during the whole year, without any respite. “It certainly is the rule else- where for Scientific Societies to have a certain recess during the year, and it is considered that it will be desirable to have such a recess here also. The Council, therefore, recommend that the words, ‘excepting in September and October’ be inserted in Rule 29 after the words: “The Society shall meet on the first Wednes- day in each month.” This being an alteration in the rules must be referred to the So- ciety at large. Voting papers will be sent out, and as the time re- 236 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. | Nov. quired for the rules will be given by this arrangment, the monthly meeting on the first Wednesday in February will be made the meeting for the discussion of the question. The following letter was read— From Capt. W. L. Samuetns, forwarding facsimiles of inscriptions, a plan, and a drawing of a rock cut temple at Harchoka, Chutia Nigptr. ‘I send you by dak banghy a parcel containing facsimiles of some inscriptions which I found cut on the pillars of a rock-cut temple at Harchoka in the Chutia Nagpur Tributary Mahal of Chang Bhokar, and which I came across this last season in settling the frontier line between Rewah and Chutia Nagpur. ‘One inscription (marked R) I got amongst some very interesting remains of rock-cut temples and monasteries near the village of Mara in Rewah. These temples were visited by a Capt. Blunt in 1795, and are mentioned by him in his “Narrative of a Route from Chunarghur to Yartnagoodum” published in 1801 in the 7th volume of the Asiatic Researches. On pages 73 and 74, he mentions having taken sketches of these temples with their mea- surements, which makes me anxious to know whether your Society is in possession of those sketches, and if so, whether I could be fa- voured with a view of them ; for my visit to the Mara temples, from press of work, was, I regret to say, a very hurried one. I was there- fore unable to make a plan of them as I should like to have done, if I had had the time. But if Capt. Blunt’s sketches are to the fore, I should be very much assisted in writing my report on these temples, if I had thése sketches to refer to. Capt. Blunt states that he wasunable to find any writing or inscription, and as far as the temples and monasteries go, I was similarly disappointed. But I doubt, if he noticed the remains of a stone aqueduct, as no men- tion is made of it in his narrative. It was in following up the remains and fragments of the aqueduct with a view to ascertain- ing from whence and for what distance the water had been con- veyed by this artificial channel that I came to a spring which issued from a rock in the side of a hill, and found the rock excavated so as to form a grotto of the following dimensions— length 16’ 4”; depth 6’; height 4... The roof is horizontal with 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. 237 a plain frieze and cornice along its whole frontage, the former bearing in its centre sculptured figures in relief of Siva and Bha- wani with a cobra’s hooded head rising above them. The height of the frieze is 2/6”. The shape of the grotto is rectangular, except that at one end the side wall forms an obtuse angle with the back wall from whence the spring of water issues. It was on this side wall that I found the inscription marked R. ‘I was for some time puzzled to think what the singular device which is seen on the right was intended to represent, till it struck me that something similar to it might be got by twist- ing two blades of the long broad jungle grass in a particu- lar way. I therefore cut two strips of paper to be used as a substitute for the grass and put a coloured line along the centre of each to represent the mid rib, and coloured the edges also to mark the lines which would indicate the breadth of the grass when cut in stone. In an envelope attached to the copy of this inscription you will find the paper figure I allude to, and on examining it, you will observe how exactly the directions of the coloured lines on the paper correspond with those shown in the copy of the inscribed device. This may be a mere coincidence, but still it is natural to suppose that the carver of the inscription had something in his mind’s eye that suggested to him the device I am alluding to; and, that it was something of the nature suggested by me is, I think, more than probable. ‘This grotto, as I have termed it, appears to me to bear some resemblance to the primitive wells of Thrace which are described as consisting of arched excavations in the sides of rocks where the water was directly obtainable from springs; with this difference only, that the Mara “well” or grotto, whichever is the more cor- rect expression, has a flat roof instead of an arched one.’ Babu Pratapa Chandra Ghoshe said— ‘The inscriptions are in old Nagari characters, but are so rude, that the characters are identified with much difficulty, The in- scriptions, so far as I have read them, are names of perhaps the donors of particular portions of the temple. They bearno date. I suppose they are Buddhistic, but I must not be certain before I read all the impressions sent by Capt. Samuells.” 238 Proceedings of the Asiatic Ssciety. [ Noy. Mr. Blochmann said that Capt. Samuells had kindly promised to forward to the Society explanatory notes which would appear together with two plates in the Journal. The sketches taken by Capt. Blunt could not have been sent to the Society; at least there was no record shewing that they had been received. The Chairman also exhibited several drawings of celts, received from Mr. J. J. Carey, Executive Engineer, Khangaon, regarding the following notice had appeared as a supplement to the Central Provinces’ Gazette, dated 4th September, 1869. ‘The stone circles lately found by me near the village of Khai- warra, about 16 miles east of Arvi in the Wardah district, were opened by desire of Mr. Morris, Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces. The stone circles are on the east bank of a nullah running due north and south, the ground rising very rapidly, 12’ 5” in 1,400 feet. I should think, there are quite 150 of these mounds dotted about in no regular form, along the edge of this nullah. In outward form they are precisely the same as those illustrated in Captain Meadows Taylor’s book, with large stones rather evenly placed round. Numbers of these stones ap- peared to me to have passed through stone-dressers’ hands, they having five sides rudely shaped, which makes me think they were originally intended to have been placed upright, not in the position found; however, nothing was found to indicate that any building was erected here, still it is strange that these five-sided stones should be there, and found lying flat on the ground. I am sure, they were never intended to be placed in that position. The mounds in every case were hollow at the top, making me think that a chamber would be found underneath, that the stones form- ing the ceiling had probably given way; but, on opening two, nothing was found to guarantee such an idea. ‘T commenced digging operations on the principal mound in the place, 40 X 43 in diameter, there being more cut stone surrounding it, and three or four in the centre; very great care was taken in digging and removing stones. The top of one of these five-sided stones was hit ‘upon close to the surface, and in the centre of the - mound this was carefully left standing, while operations were going on up to one foot deep. Nothing but loose stones and earth was 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 239 removed, until about 15 inches from the surface broken red pottery began to show on the south side. At last some stiff leaden colour- ed clay was found, fast binding pieces of pottery, and on close ex- amination large quantities of teeth were found, which evidently had been put into a gurrah and imbedded in this clay. These bones are, I believe, the back teeth of horses, in very good pre- servation. This clay then began to be found in patches, in which, as a rule, you always find pottery and other implements, and ap- peared in no other place than on the south side. ‘I was standing one evening looking on, when all of a sudden I saw a ‘‘find,” and immediately jumped down into the hole, and with the greatest care dug out of the clay, well cemented together, two copper bells, two round copper (in my opinion) ear-rings, and an iron axe; these I handled with the utmost care, vainly hoping that the whole would remain in this solid state; but after a few days, the heat of June soon dried up the clay, and the whole be- came detached. ‘This and a few iron implements and a gold ring were the only things found. This excavation was carried down about 2°6 feet. ‘In the other we went down over three feet from the surface, and nothing but iron was found, very rust eaten. The only implement in good preservation was a kind of saucer for holding oil, which had a handle with a hook to hang by, and a spiral spring, which must I think have been wound round a stick.’ The following papers were read— I.— On a new Photo-callographic Printing Process.—By Capra J. WarErnovsE, Assistant Surveyor General. Ihave the pleasure to bring to your notice this evening a new process of photographic printing, I have lately worked out, which, though it can scarcely be called original, is in some respects new and, as I believe it has never before been worked in India, a de- scription of it may not prove uninteresting to many of the members of this Society, more especially as the new process will be used for the reproduction of photographs and drawings of all kinds for the illustration of our Journal. The few specimens I have with me, though very imperfect, are sufficient to shew the capabilities of the process. I have hitherto 240 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Nov: chiefly practised on subjects in line in order to perfect myself in the manipulations, which were entirely new to me, but I know from the trials I have already made, that the process will also give excellent results in half tone as soon as I shall have been able to master the difficulties ‘of the printing, and to obtain proper appli- ances. I am, therefore, unwilling to delay the publication ofa process by which absolutely permanex.. photographic reproductions may be made from any class of subject with great perfection and economy by means of appliances which are within the reach of all. In principle my process is similar to that introduced in 1866 by Tessier du Mothay, which was afterwards modified and improved by Albert of Munich and other Germans, and still further perfected by Ernest Edwards of London, who has brought it into extensive use under the name of Heliotype. Many of the members present may probably have read descriptions of it in some of the English serials, or have seen specimens in a publication entitled “ Art, Pic- torial and Industrial,’ which is illustrated entirely by its means. The distinctive feature of all these processes is, that the printing surface is composed of gelatine, hardened in such a manner that it may stand the wear and tear of printing, and they all depend upon the well known property peculiar to a dried film of gelatine mixed with an alkaline bichromate of becoming insoluble after exposure to light, and repelling water in the parts exposed to light exactly in proportion to the amount of the action of the light upon them, and at the same time of acquiring a corresponding affinity for a greasy substance, such as printing ink. Although this property by itself has been most usefully applied in many photographic pro- cesses for the reproduction of subjects in line, it would be quite incapable of giving the required results in the processes now under notice, because the unexposed gelatine remains in a pulpy soft state incapable of withstanding the wear and tear of printing, and more- over it would be liable to dissolve entirely with any rise in temper- ature, the consequence of which would be the loss of all the lighter tones. It has been found, however, that the chromated gelatine film may be so hardened or oxidised by certain substances, such as the alums, especially chrome alum, tannin, chlorine, bichloride of mercury, permanganate of potash, and other suitable oxidising 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 241 agents, that it made quite insoluble in water, though still capable of retaining a certain amount of water, without interfering with its property of attracting greasy ink in the parts exposed to light and repelling it in the unexposed parts, so that if such a film be spread upon asurface of glass, metal, or other suitable material and after exposure to light under a photographic negative, be washed till all the chromic salt is removed, .v obtain a printing surface possessing the properties of an ordinasy lithographic stone, that is to say, it is absorbent of water in some parts, and absorbent of greasy ink in others, but, as I have mentioned, it also has another most valuable property which is not possessed by the lithographic stone, and which has been most aptly termed “ a discriminating power of absorption,” so that when it is inked in with a roller, the ink will be thickest on the parts representing the deepest shadows of the picture, and which have received the most exposure to light, the middle tints will take less, the lighter tints still less, while the high lights will take none at all, and be represented by white paper. It will readily be seen that in this way an exact transcript of the original photo- graph may be obtained, shewing the most delicate delineation of detail with as perfect gradation of tone as in a proof produced by the ordinary process of silver printing, but possessing the great ad- vantages of a lithograph or engraving over a silver print in respect of undoubted permanence, cheapness and rapidity of production. The above is the principle upon which these processes depend— the practice though presenting some difficulties of manipulation is very simple. A mixture of gelatine and bichromate of potash, with one of the hardening or oxidising substances I have mention- ed, and also a little glycerine, sugar or other substance, capable of preventing the gelatine film from being too brittle is poured upon the surface of a perfectly level finely ground glass plate, and care- fully dried in the dark in such a manner as to preserve a very even surface. When dry the plate is ready to be exposed under a reversed negative in the usual manner. After the surface has received sufficient exposure the plate is turned and its under surface is exposed to the full power of the light for a short time to render it thoroughly hard and insoluble and prevent it fromswelling too much in the after washing. The plate is now 242 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Nov. washed till all the bichromate is removed and is then rolled in with soft printing ink. This is the simplest mode of printing but in the course of working out the Heliotype process Mr. Edwards found that it was very difficult to obtain perfect contact between the nega- tive and the gelatine film and thus it was impossible to obtain the sharpest results, so he thought of preparing a tissue which might be printed upon just like a sheet of sensitive photographie paper or carbon tissue and afterwards transferred on to a zine plate or any other suitable surface which would stand the wear and tear of printing. This was a great and valuable improvement, but in the course of my experiments I found some difficulty in transferring the tissue, and as I find that with proper precau- tions fairly sharp results may be obtained by printing on the original plate, I have abandoned the use of tissue till I have more fully worked out the process. I will now briefly describe the mode of working which, after many trials and failures I have found most successful. Having well cleaned some pieces of finely ground plate glass such as is ordinarily used for looking-glasses, and having carefully levelled them. I prepare amixture composed of— (elatine,.......... lounce. Honey Soap, ...... 30 to 60 grains. Pani Ws ieswiee ear, £0 SLRDNS. Distilled water, .... 8 ounces. I have found 10 grains of tannin to 1 ounce of gelatine sufficient to render it quite insoluble, and I think even less would do; but if more is added, it has the effect of rendering the film insensitive to light. The object of adding the soap is to render the film tough and prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking up when dried, its use for this purpose was first suggested by Mr. Johnson, in working the autotype process, Some precautions are necessary in mixing the solution so that it will give an even transparent film when dry. I have tried many kinds of soap, but I have found that the honey soap exported by Coward of London, such as is commonly sold by the boxwallas, is the best. The soap and tannin must be 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 243 separately dissolved in about 1 ounce of hot water, then mixed and added very gradually, and with constant stirring to the gelatine dissolved in the remaining 6 ounces of hot water, The mixture is then filtered through coarse cloth and poured on the plates. Should any air bubbles be formed they may be removed with the point of a pen-knife. The gelatine soon sets and as soon as I find the film is firm, I turn the plates face downwards and place them out to dry in the open air on suitable supports. They dry in from 12 to 24 hours or longer according to the state of the atmosphere. I think the plan I have here adopted of preparing the gelatine film with- out the addition of the sensitive bichromate is advantageous in many ways. It enables the plates to be dried in the open air, quickly and evenly and I find that when turned face downwards very little dust settles on them ; another advantage is that a stock of plates may be prepared and kept till required to be sensitised for use. After sensitising the plates dry very quickly and heat may be used without any fear of the film becoming dissolved and flowing off the plate. I tried Mr. Edwards’ process of mixing together the gelatine, chrome alum and bichromate of potash according to his published formula, but I found that the plates so prepared took a very long time to dry and required to be kept carefully level in the drying box, besides this there were other disadvantages which Jed me to abandon the use of chrome alum and substitute tannin with which I had made some experiments so long ago as 1866. When the plates are thoroughly dry I immerse them in a solution of bichromate of potash about 1 oz. of the salt to 20 ounces of water and then place them in a drying box. As the gelatine is quite insoluble there is no necessity for keeping the plates level in this second drying and if necessary heat may be used. The plates dry - in 2 or 3 hours and are then ready for use. I expose under a reversed negative for about 10 minutes in the sun for a clear line subject and about half an hour for a subject in half tone accord- ing to the density of the negative. When sufficiently exposed I remove the negative and expose the back of the sensitive plate to light for a few minutes in order to thoroughly harden the under surface of the gelatine film and prevent swelling and it from puckering up during the printing. ~The plate is then thoroughly 244 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Noy. washed in several changes of water till all the bichromate is re- moved and is ready for printing. The printing is the most difficult part of the whole process and suc- cess appears to depend entirely upon the composition of the ink, In printing line subjects some inks are too tough and cannot well be cleaned off the plate, others are too soft and are liable to be rubbed off when the plate is cleaned with a cloth. Then again in printing sub- jects in half tone a stiff ink will only take on the shadows, while a soft thin ink will take all over the plate and by giving a slight tone to the high lights destroy all brilliancy of effect. In printing subjects in line I rollin with a tolerably stiff ink made of ordinary lithogra- phic chalk ink thinned with olive oil instead of varnish and before printing, clean the surface of the plate with a damp cloth. For half tone subjects, the plate must first be rolled in with stiff ink in order to obtain depth in the shadows and the detail of the half tones afterwards brought out by the use of a softer and lighter ink which should just be of such a consistency and tint that the half tones may all be well developed, but the high lights left clear. The inking in may be done with lithographic rollers, but rollers of india-rubber have been found better. The printing is best per- formed by vertical pressure in an ordinary type printing press which should be furnished with an india-rubber bed to prevent the glass plates being broken, and the plate should be covered with a padding of felt, so that the paper may be well pressed into the hollows forming the deepest shadows. Enamelled paper is the best for printing on, especially for subjects in half tone. The proofs I have with me have all been pulled in an ordinary copying press which I find answers the purpose fairly, though it is inconvenient in many respects. If it is required to print on a tissue, a plan which certainly possess- es many great advantages, a perfectly polished glass plate is used instead of ground glass, and the surface is rubbed with a solution of wax in ether, so that when it is dry, the film may be stripped off with ease. The composition I have described abéve makes an ex- cellent tissue. Such are the details of my process as far as I have gone, ‘it is very imperfect in many points, but I am_ still working 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 245 at it, and hope soon to perfect and bring it into practical use in the Surveyor General’s office for the reproduction of fine delicate draw- ings in line or brush shading, which are not susceptible of being reproduced by photography, and also to replace the costly and te- dious process of silver printing for ordinary photographs. The experience I have already gained has shewn me that the process is perfectly practical, and also exceedingly economical both in time and in material. It is true the preparation of the plates takes a long time, but once the plate is prepared, copies may be pulled from it at the rate of from 100 to 200 copies a day, and as the plates may be kept ready prepared, the time taken in their pre- paration is really of little consequence. As regards the cost of materials, I find that the preparation of a square foot of surface costs about 4 annas and 6 pie. This is a mere trifle, when the great advantages of the process are considered: Ist, in being able to copy drawings or other subjects in line with a sharpness and delicacy equal to the finest lithography or copper plate engraving, and 2ndly, in being able to print copies of shaded drawings or ordi- nary photographs, which shall be permanent and perfectly repro- duce all the gradations of the original, and I need not point out how immensely valuable it will be for the reproduction and cheap circulation of photographs illustrating various branches of science. I would only further add that I do not put this forward as an original process of my own, as I must acknowledge my obligations to former workers in the same direction. I can only claim to be the first to have worked out a practical process suitable for use in this country, and hope that the subject may be taken up by some of our Indian photographers.

The three Arabic inscriptions which I have the pleasure to lay before the meeting, were sent to me, among others, by Mr. A. Broadley, C.8., Bihar. Mr. Broadley has taken rubbings of a large number of inscriptions, which he found on ruined buildings and shrines in the town of Bihar, a town, which in the early 246 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Nov. period of Bengal history held a much higher rank than it does now-a-days. From the rubbings which I have examined, it is certain that Mr. Broadley’s inscriptions will considerably add to our knowledge of the beginning of the Muhammadan period of Bengal History, and I hope that he will find leisure to publish his large collection, and add archeological notes on the old buildings of Bihar, and also collect the numerous legends, still current in the district, regarding the early Muhammadan invaders of Bengal. My object in laying a few of Mr. Broadley’s inscriptions before the meeting, is to direct attention to Bihar inscriptions in general, and to appeal to officers stationed in that province to send rub-— bings to our Society for publication. Every inscription with the name of a king and a date onit, is of value. Ata former meet- ing, I explained what progress had been made, up to the present time, in the elucidation of Bihar and Bengal history. I mentioned that we do not even possess a correct and complete list of the Muhammadan kings of Bengal and Bihar, and that no historian had yet attempted to fix the limits to which the kingdom, of Bengal, at various times, extended. ‘There exist no MNS. his- tories of Bengal; the first attempt at a connected history known to us, is the short chapter by Nizimuddin in the Tabagdt ¢ Akbart, which was composed so late as A. H. 1001, or A. D. 1592. For the ‘beginning of the Muhammadan period, we have only ‘occasional notices in the MS. histories of the Dihli empire, and coins and inscriptions, The information which coins yield, will be found in Mr. E. Thomas’s excellent Essay on the ‘ Initial Coinage of Bengal’ (Journal, A. 8. Bengal, for 1867). He compiled a valu- able list of the early Muhammadan Governors, and assigned to several kings, whose names were not to be found in the existing histories of Bengal, their proper places. As an example, I may mention the king Shamsuddin Firuz, of whom Mr. Thomas found coins struck between 1315 and 1322, A. D. The inscriptions at Tribeni near Higli, which I laid last year before the Society, men- tion the same king as having reigned in 1818, A. D. Two of Mr. Broadley’s inscriptions—and this will shew the value of his dis- coveries, prove— i 1. that Firdz already reigned in 1309 over (Western) Bengal, or Lak’hnauti. 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 247 2. That South Bihir under him belonged to Bengal, whilst other inscriptions shew that Bihar in 1352 again belonged to Dihli. 8. That Shamsuddin had a son of the name of Halim Khan, who in 1309 and 1315, and hence most likely during the intervening years, was governor of Bihar, From a letter, I lately had from Mr. Broadley, it would also ap- pear that portions of Halim Khan’s palace still exist, and that his descendants are still inhabitants of the town of Bihar. Of the three inscriptions before the meeting two belong to Halim Khan and contain the dates 1309 and 1315 ; the former inscription seems to have belonged to a sarai, the latter to a mosque. The third inscription is of a still earlier date, and mentions an edifice built in A. H. 640, or A. D. 1242, by ’Izzuddin Abulfath Tughril Khan, who styles himself Sw/tén, and assumes other regal epithets, as Khdgan ul Mw azzam, khallada-llahu mulkahu, §e., though his contemporary, the author of the Tabagat ¢ Nagiré merely calls him Hikim, or Governor, of Lak’hnauti, which was then looked upon as belonging to the Dihli empire. The characters of all three inscriptions are Tughra. IIIl.—A Jlistory of the Village of Arura, Tahgil Jagrdon, Zil’ah Lidhidna.—By Attar Sincu, Curer or BuHappavr. This paper is written in Hindi, and contains several interesting facts. The writer states that Arura lies a little north of Bhaddaur, and eight kos south of Jagraon, and is inhabited by Muhammadans and Rajputs. The decline of the place dates from the time of Ah- mad Shah Durrani. In old times, Arura was inhabited by Rajputs of the Pramura clan, Many of the inhabitants were killed when the Muhammadans invaded the district, and many emigrated. Among the fugitives were also several families of Brahmans, and hence it is that certain clans, as, for example, the Kaligotra Brahmans of the hills of Chintapitri, look upon Arura as their original domicile. The writer then mentions several legends of Rai Firiz, under whom Arura flourished. His tomb still exists, and in one of its inscriptions the year 1532 Samvat is legible. The old tank called Raniyana near,Arura is frequented by numerous pilgrims. 248 Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. [ Nov. People say that the ancient name of the place is Ahichatta, and that its ruler, Raja Buddhamati composed a work in Prakrit, enti= tled Dharma Katha, which is still used by the Puja tribe in the dis- trict. In the 15th chapter of this book, it is mentioned that a former prince of the city of Ahichatta, named Kanaka Ketu, reign- ed at the time of Mahavira Sw4mi, the twenty-fourth incarnation of Buddha. Under him the town was so large, that Bhaddaur and the adjoining villages were the suburbs of Arura. In conclusion, the writer mentions a few facts connected with Bhai Bahadur Singh of Bhaddaur, who died in A. D. 1866. IV.— Description of a New Species of Abrornis.—By W. E. Brooxs, Esa., C. E:, Era’wan. Axsrornis JERDONI.—The dark slatey-headed Abrornis. Dimen- sions—length of skin 83, but the bird in the flesh would probably measure 33; wing 1°82; tail 1:57; bill at front -35; from gape about °5; tarsus °72. Colors similar to those of A. Xanthoschistos, but the slate colour of the head and shoulders is very dark and without the greenish tinge observed in the other species. There is no apparent light- coloured coronal streak, but a greyish white supercilium, Lower back bright yellow green, as are also upper tail coverts. Upper part of wing vivid green, all the coverts primaries secondaries and tertial as well as tail feathers edged vivid yellow green. Two outer tail feathers white on their cnner webs; the white of the outer one being spotless, while that of the penultimate one is clouded with pale brown spots; but that of the lower surface of body from chin to under tail coverts bright yellow; bill and feet coloured as in the other species. Dr. Jerdon was acquainted with this bird, and he procured the specimens which Mr. Hume and I have. I therefore name it after him ; but he confounded it with Abrornis Xanthoschistos, Hodgson. Ihave examined Mr. Hodgson’s original drawing with dimensions of the latter; and find it represents undoubtedly the North-Wes- tern bird, which extends to Cashmere. This drawing is very accu-. rate, and perfectly accords with Cashmere, Dhurmsala and Kuma- on birds; also with others procured on the Nepal border by Mr. - Yeatman, in the cold season. Mr. Hodgson’s dimensions of Xan- 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 249 thoschistos are—length 43 ; bill from gape 4 ; tail 1 ; wing 24 to 2 5%; tarsus 3. Dr. Jerdon’s dimensions of Albo-superciliaris are—length 44 ; wing 21; tail 13; tarsus 3. Inasmuch as these are the dimensions of Hodgson’s bird, and as his drawing exactly represents the North- West species, I have no hesitation in putting Albo-superciliaris as a synonym of Xanthoschistos. Abrornis Jerdoni is the eastern repre- sentative of A. Xanthoschistos. Mr. Ball exhibited several birds captured by him in the Red and Arabian Seas, and said—“ I wish to make afew remarks upon some birds which I recently captured in the Red and Arabian Seas, when on board the Mail Steamer ‘ Mongolia.’ I am more particularly anxious to exhibit them as they have been cured by a process somewhat novel. Having neither the facilities nor inclination for skinning them, and being unable to procure any pure carbolic acid, T tried the effect of injecting them with common disinfecting fluid. The result has been that the birds have kept admirably and are only now gradually drying up into mummies. The specimens include— 1st.—A male and female of the common Zinnunculus alaudarius. Briss. 2nd.—A bird which I rather think may be a Hobby, Hypotrior- chis subbuteo, L., but if so, it presents a very unusual phase of plumage. At some future time, I hope to describe it more fully. 3rd.—A species of Roller (Coracias) distinct from both the Euro- pean and Indian birds. It comes nearest to the former, but differs from it in many details of plumage. Speaking generally, it has a more subdued coloration, and the violet blue of the lesser wing- coverts is not continued, asin C. Garrula, on to the shoulders. The head and neck too are a dirty green rather than a bluish green. I have not yet had time to ascertain whether it belongs to a known species. 4th—A specimen of the somewhat rare Sanderling, Calidris arenaria, Tem.

PROCEEDINGS OF ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL FOR DEcEMBER, 1871. THE —@—~ A meeting of the Society was held on Wednesday, the 6th in- stant at 90’clock P. M. T. Oldham, Esq., LL. D., Vice-President, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The following presentations were announced— 1. From the Government of India in the Home Department, a set of photographs of temples, &c., in Bihar. The following correspondence accompanied the donation.

As soon as they are received, the copies and descriptions will be forwarded. 2. I also forward some duplicate copies, which will be complet- ed as soon as the remaining copies are received from Calcutta. This therefore makes three copies of the photographs more or less complete. I regret to state the sets could not be supplied complete at once; but as this could not be done, care will be taken that the missing ones are hereafter sent. 3. In the meantime, I would beg to state that I have been put to considerable expense in having them printed in Calcutta, and that as so many more are still required to complete the seven copies of each, I would beg that an advance of Rs. 600 be given to enable me to have them printed. 4, My transfer to Chota-Nagpore has prevented me from taking negatives of some of the antiquities still remaining to be photo- graphed, and would beg to mention them for your guidance: The tower at Girriak. The fort at Behar. The rock sculptures at Pabuttee, east of Girriak. 5. Ihave also included some copies of negatives of Chumparun, which are probably not required. In that case they can be return- ed, and so much of the description as applies to them may be cur- tailed, Gya.—There are a great many interesting structures and re- mains of antiquity in and about Gya, asit has been a place of con- siderable importance for many centuries. Unfortunately, during this time, there have been at least two changes of religion, and very few of the older structures are now intact; for as the buildings of the deserted faith were at hand and readily available, they were used in the construction of buildings belonging to the prevalent religion, On rare occasions only was a new temple built of fresh materials. With the exception of the temple of Vishnu Pad, all 1871.] Préceedings of the Asiatic Socvety. 253 the other temples are either converted Buddhist, or built with the materials obtained from Buddhist, buildings, Photographs Nos. 1 and 2.—The temple of Vishnu Pad, the larg- ést and most important in Gya, although comparatively modern, is a most imposing structure, but its confined situation prevents a good photograph being obtained of it. It fronts the east, and the facade is very striking, although greatly disfigured by ragged pure dahs, &e. Vo. 3.—To the south of the temple, and almost touching it, there is a handsome pillared hall, where the bare rock shows itself; in fact, the pillars are let into the solid rock for a foundation. Wo. 4.—Alongside, to the north, is the temple of Gadadhur or mace-bearer, which must have been a fine stone temple, but has been modified and renewed at a comparatively late date, and a number of Buddhist figures are collected in and around it. No. 5.—In front of the Vishnu Pad and Gadadhur temples is the holy place where the pilgrims bathe in the Fulgo, which forms a principal part in the ceremony of Pind, for which so many pilgrims annually visit Gya from all parts of Hindustan and Nipal. Nos. 6 and 7.—The old town of Gya is picturesquely situated on a rocky ridge running along the bank of the Fulgo. Photographs Nos. 6 and 7 conjointly show the whole river front of the old town of Gya, with its background of hills, and the BBRE dry bed of the river in the foreground. Nos. 8 and 9.—Are views of the old town from the Ram Gya hill on the opposite bank of the Fulgo, and the village of Selempur in the foreground, Nos. 10 and 11.—The town extends from the banks of the Fulgo to the foot of the hills, occupying in fact the whole valley between ; No. 10 is the view looking west from the high bank of the river, and No. 11 is the view looking north. Nos. 12, 18, and 14.—The southern extremity of the town occu- pies a rocky eminence which commands the greater part of the town, and No. 12 is a view looking north from this point, and Nos. 13 and 14 are views looking south and west. Nos. 15 and 16.—The peculiar priesthood of Gya, the Gyawils, without whose assistance no ceremony is effective, have their houses 254 Proceedings of the Asiatic Soctety. [Drc. on the banks of the river, and in the most prominent sites within the city, but they, I believe, are restricted to certain portions of it. Photographs Nos. 15 and 16 are some of their houses along the banks of the Fulgo, many of them five and six stories high and very old. Nos. 17 and 18.—To the south of the town the range of hills which surrounds the town ends in a conical hill called Brahmajoni, which is considered of great sanctity. There is a temple on the summit dedicated to the sakti or female energy of Brahma, hence the name. It is approached by a flight of stone steps leading up from below. The hill itself is 450 feet high, and is a prominent object in approaching Gya from every direction. It is one of the principal places which must be visited by the pilgrims who come to perform the ceremony of Pind. Nos. 19 and 20.—Another of the principal places of pilgrimage is the Suruj Kund and temple. This is only a short distance from the Vishnu Pad. The temple is one of the oldest in Gya, and evidently belongs to Buddhist times. Inside there is a valuable inscription dated in the era of Buddha’s death or Nirvan, which is of great value, as fixing the date of that event. The vestibule is formed of two double rows of pillars ten feet in height, and five pillars in each row. A great number of mutilated statues are let into the walls on either side. Wo. 21.—Another place which must be visited by all pilgrims is the tank, or Kund Petta Mahaswar. The present buildings are quite modern, but a great number of Buddhist statues are collected in and around them. Nos. 22 and 23.—The final ceremony of Pind is performed at the Achyber temple which is situated near the foot of the Brahmajoni hill and close to the Rukmini tank. No. 24.—Gives the relative positions. The Achyber temple ie very old, and must have been a monastery chapel, as the present buildings, although mostly rebuilt and altered, seem to have been originally a Buddhist monastery. Nos. 25, 26, 27, and 28.—Higher up the same hill, which runs down to the Rukmini tank, there is an old temple much in the same style as the temple at Budh Gya called Mungla Deva, but of 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 255 later date, and on the same hill lower down, on the eastern side, is another of the same style facing the Sarasvatti tank. Vos. 29 and 30.—The modern town of Gya, or more properly Sahibanj, contains few structures of any antiquity. The largest temple is a double-spired one, built by a wealthy Kaist, Fath Bahadur. Near this is a fine sculptured doorway. Wo. 31.—Over one of the gateways of the town there is a fine arch. This was the limit of the city as originally enclosed, It has, however, extended very considerably to the north since then. Buddh Gya—This place, so celebrated in the annals of the Buddhist world, is situated six miles to the south of Gya. Wo. 32.—The great temple faces the east, and is 50 feet square at the base, and is 160 feet high. Colonel Cunningham gives the date of its erection by Amara Deva about 500, A. D. It is remark- able as being the finest brick structure still standing in India. No. 33.—To the west of the temple itself is the famous Bodhi Drum, or tree of knowledge, famous throughout the Buddhist world as the tree under which Sakya Singha sat for six years, and is still visited by pilgrims from Burmah, Ceylon, &c. It is said to have been rooted out by a Brahmanist king, Sasanka, and renewed by his contemporary the Buddhist Purna Varmma. Only one large branch is now alive and from all appearances it will not last much longer. Excavations made some years ago under the auspices of the Asiatic Society showed that the whole temple was surrounded by a Buddhist railing similar to the one at Sanchi. This shows conclusively that the present temple occupies the exact site of the original one, as these railings bear inscriptions in the an- cient Pali ef the time of Asoka. Wo, 34.—The front of the temple which faces the east is in very bad repair, and large masses come down every rainy season. In a few years the aspect of this side will be entirely changed. The porch in front has now nearly disappeared; only portions of the arch of its roof adhere to the said walls. The peculiarity of this portion is the Lehra or horizontal arch to the third story, and the radiating arches on the second story. No. 35.—In front of the building there is a small arched doorway leading into the courtyard, in which is ihe Buddha Pad, or impres- 256 Proceedings of thé Asiatic Society. [Deze sion of Buddha’s feet, to which offerings are made by all classes of pilgrims, as also to the Buddha tree, but none of the orthodox enter the temple itself. Wo. 36.—The south side of the temple is in the best preservation, and many of the niches still contain plaster figures of Buddha, but in many they are wanting. Vo. 37.—On the same side a deep excavation made to follow the railings disclosed the original plinth of the temple in tolerable preservation. This has since been filled up. It showed that the general level of the courtyard, and the surrounding part was con- siderably above the plinth which must have been approached by steps, instead of descending to it, as at present, through the arched passage in front. The arches inthe front supporting the entrance and roof of the first and second story have attracted considerable attention, and it has been doubted whether they were true radiating arches, and whether they were part ofthe original building. Both these doubts have been cleared away, but it is still a problem how they came to be built, and it has cast great doubts on the assigned age of the building itself. Fergusson has decided, principally on the fact of these arches, that the building cannot be of the age assigned to it by Colonel Cunningham, as it is quite anomalous to find arches in a purely Hindu structure of such an early date. The fact, however, remains, and there seems no other solution to it than that the Hindus did understand the principle of the arch, but only resorted to it in structures of brick, very few of which are now left. Wo. 38.—Inside the little cenotaph, to the left of the oitcasiane there are some Buddhist figures, representing Buddha sn seated under the Buddha tree. No. 39.—To the east of the great temple there is a smaller one of something of the same style, but much later, dedicated to Tara Deva. Burrasur.—The group of hills in which the caves have been excavated is about sixteen miles to the north of Gya, and some two miles from the bank of the Fulgo, No. 40,—The most westerly hill is an isolated peak called 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 267 ‘Kawwa Dol,’ or the crow’s swing. There are a number of large boulders at the foot, which seem to have fallen from the top. Many of these are sculptured with rude lingams, &c., and on one to the north-west angle of the hill there is a short inscription, which, however, is nearly illegible. Wo. 41.—On the east side of the hill there must have been a large temple, some few pillars of which are still standing, and a gigantic figure of the ascetic Budh, measuring eight feet high, with a breadth across the shoulders of six feet, still in its original position, with part of the original brick wall behind it. Wo, 42.—The temple itself must have been a large one, but there are only a few pillars now standing somewhat apart from the shrine where the gigantic Budhis. Whether more than one structure existed here it is difficult to say, but a great many mounds are existing in the neighbourhood, and a large village must also have existed to the north-east. To the east of the Kawwa Dol there is a group of hills, the highest being Burabee, and the whole group is called Burrabur. Near the centre of the group, and to the south, five caves have been excavated in the solid granite rock, and the labour expended in cutting, and subsequently polishing the compact granite must have been enormous. There are three of these caves in one group. No. 43.—The Sudama and Lomas Rishi are cut in the western face of the rock; the Sudama to the north, and the Lomas Rishi to the south. The Sudama cave, which has a plain doorway, has an inscription in the ancient character of Asoka’s pillars, cut in the side of the doorway. It records the excavation of the cave, in the twelfth year of the reign of Rajah Pyadasi, that is, of Asoka himself; the cave therefore dates as far back as 252 B.C. It consists of two rooms, a circular one of 19 feet, 11 inches in dia- meter, and an outer one 32 feet, 9 inches in length, by 196 inches in breadth, the walls are 6 feet, 9 inches in height from the vaulted roof, which has a rise of 5 feet, 6 inches, making the total height of the chamber 12 feet, 3 inches. No. 44.—The Lomas Rishi is similar to the Sudama cave both jn size and arrangements, but the roof is unfinished ; while the walls 258 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Dx. and roof of the Sudama cave are highly polished. The doorways of both caves are of the Egyptian style, but the porch of the Lomas Rishi has been enlarged and ornamented, and represents the gable endof athatched house with a frieze of elephants surrounding the doorway, executed in a most artistic manner. Indeed the drawing of the elephants contrasts favourably with the popular modern repre- sentations of this animal. Colonel Cunningham is of opinion that this porch was executed at a later period than the cave itself, There is an inscription in the porch over the doorway, of the third or fourth century of our era. It is curious to remark that in the representations found on the bosses of the Buddhist railing at Budh Gya, there is a similar representation of the gable end of a thatched house forming the doorway of a cave also. Vo. 45.—On the northern side of the same granite rock as the two preceding, there is the third cave of the group called the Karna Chopar. It is 33 feet, 63 inches long, by 14 feet wide. The sides of the cave are 6 feet, 1} inches high, and the vaulted roof has arise of 4 feet, 8 inches, making the total height 10 feet, 9 inches. On the outside of the doorway, there is an inscription in the ancient Pali recording the excavation of the cave in the nineteenth year of the reign of Rajah Pyadasi, that is, of Asoka himself. The cave, therefore, dates as far back as 245 B.C. To the east of the doorway the rock has been cut away, and several rude sculptures have been executed on the scarped face representing a linga and two rude Brahminical figures. No. 46.—The group of hills nearer the Fulgo river, and about half a mile to the east of the Burrabur group, is called Nagarjuni, There are several caves in this group. The largest is cut in the southern face of a rocky ridge, and is approached from below by a flight of rude stone steps. The height of the cave doorway, above the level of the plains, is about 50 feet. The cave itself measures 46 feet, 5 inches long, by 19 feet, 2 inches broad, both ends being semi-circular, and, in the inscription on the doorway in the ancient character of Asoka’s edicts, the cave is called the ‘ Gopi’s’ cave, and was executed by Dasaratha on his accession to the throne. ‘The Gopi’s cave, an abode lasting as the sun and moon, was caused to be excavated by Dasaratha, beloved of the Devas, on his accession, 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. 259 as a hermitage for the most devoted Bhadantas (Buddhist ascetics).”” Dasaratha, according to the Vishnu Purana, was the grandson of Asoka, and as the son of Asoka, Sayasus, only reigned eight years, the accession of Dasaratha must have taken place in 214, B. C. Nos. 47 and 48.—The other caves in the Nagurjuni group are situated in the northern side, and on the southern face of a rocky ridge, running parallel with the Nagarjuni hill, there are two caves, one to the west being nearly hidden in a recess, and has its entrance facing the east. The cave itself is 16 feet, 4 inches, by 4 feet, 3 inches, and there is a rude brick wall running across it, dividing it into two rooms, which has been done by some late occu- pant, said to have been a Musalman fakir. There is an inscrip- tion in ancient Pali, in which the cave is called Vadithi-ka-Kubha, the rest being letter for letter the same as the inscription in the Gopi cave; the date is therefore the same. No. 49.—The eastern cave has a small porch 6 feet long by 5} feet broad, and the doorway is Egyptian, like all the doors of these eaves. The cave itself is 11 feet, 3 inches, by 16 feet, 9 inches long ; the roof is vaulted, 10 feet, 6 inches in total height. There is an inscription on the porch in the ancient character of Asoka’s edicts, in which the cave is called Vapiya-ka-Kubha, or the wellcave. The inscription is word for word the same as that on the Gopi cave, so that the date is the same, 214 B. C. In front ofthe cave there is a large well 9 feet in diameter. From various inscriptions on these caves it would seem that they have been at various times occupied by Buddhists and Brahmanists, but were originally excavated for Buddhist ascetics by the kings Asoka and Dasaratha, in the third century B.C. About the third or fourth century of our era, the kings Sardula Varma and Anunta Varma placed Brahminical images in three of them, and subsequently Mussulman fakirs took posses- sion of them. They are now, and have been for many years, uninhabited. Nos. 50 and 51,—Alongside the Vapiya cave there is a curious boulder poised on two others, and the cavity thus formed had been built up into a grotto no doubt for Buddhist ascetics.. The Nagurjuni hills are some little distance from the Burrabur group, 260 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. | Dzc, and No. 51 is a view of the Burrabur group from the plains in front of the Nagurjuni cave. No. 52.—Is the view of the Burrabur group from the rocky ridge in which the two northern caves are cut, with the Burrabur peak and temple in the centre. Duarawvr. Vos. 53 and 54.—Dharawut lies immediately to the north of the Burrabur hills, about 13 miles distant. There are large and extensive mounds in and around the present large village, and a large tank called Chandohur Tal, which is some 2,000 feet long by 800 feet in width, evidently as old as the Buddhist monas- teries which existed here. On the banks of the tank there isa little temple, near which there is a fine standing figure of the famous Buddhisatva Avalokiteswara, the Pudma Pani of the Tibetans, and is always represented with a lotus in his hand. Nos. 55 and 56.—From the little hill to the south of the tank, which is covered with brick and stone rubbish, some curious sculptures were obtained by the villagers searching for bricks, representing various objects of Buddhist worship. | Narr. Wo. 57.—Nair is on the Patna and Gya road, west from Dharawut, and about twenty miles from Gya. There is a pillared temple close to the road very much in the same style as the temple at Poonawa. It consists of three rows of monolithic pillars, ten pillars in each row. Fronting the temple there is a further row of four pillars. The temple or shrine behind consists of brick and mud cement, but very little of it is now standing ; the superstruc- ture is entirely gone, and none of the temples of this form are sufficiently complete to allow of a conjecture as to their original form. The roof of the portico and the shrine is composed of large granite slabs, a linga now occupies the shrine, and there is a mutilated figure of Ganesh lying outside. Judging by the size of the mound, and the part of the shrine remaining, the temple must have been a lofty one. The bricks are large and well made, although inferior in this respect to those used in the construction of the Buddha Gya temple. Itis probable that the temple dates about 700 A. D. No, 58.—Shows the temple from the east, with the remains of the shrine and mound of brick rubbish. 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society.” 261 ' Part. No. 59.—About seven miles nearer Gya, on the Patna road, there is a large mound with a small modern temple. Near this is a large slab with a representative of the same group of figures as at Koch Dapthoo, &c. Kispa. Nos. 60 and 61.—This ‘place is nearly west from Nair, about six miles. There are large mounds there, ‘and a very fine standing statue of Sakya Singha as a teacher with the Buddhist creed in an inscription round the head. Near the above there is a large four-armed figure sitting on the shoulders of another squat- ting figure. This figure is quite unique; this being the only specimen of the kind to be found in the district, it is not known to what it refers. Wo. 62.—There is also a curious sculptured block, which it is difficult to make out to what it belonged. It could not have been the base of a linga, as that is invariably inserted into the yoni, whereas in this case there is no place for insertion. Genzan. Vo. 63.—About a mile and a half from Kispa to the north-east, there is a village called Genjan on the top of a large mound. Here there is a very fine statue of Buddha the ascetic, with representations of the birth, teaching, and death or Nirvana of Sakya Singha in small figures surrounding it. This is one of the best-executed sculptures in the district, and although much mutilated and broken, it is of considerable interest. Raserrr. Wo. 64,—Rajagriha is one of the few places about which there can be no doubt of its identity, and was visited by the Chinese pilgrims, Fa-Hian in the fourth century, by Hwen Thsang in the sixth century, They both visited the ‘Son Bundar’ cave, famous in Buddhist annals as the spot where the first Buddhist synod was held in a temporary building in front of it, by Ajatasatru, Rajah of Magadha, There is an inscription cut on it not later then 200 A. D., but the cave itself is probably older. It measures 34 feet long by 17 feet wide, and is cut in the solid rock, but is neither smoothed nor polished. No. 65.—The cite of the ancient city is now overgrown with brushwood, and is surrounded by hills in every direction. A small elevation in the centre marks the cite of a monastery chapel, View 65 is looking east from the door of the cave. 262 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Dzc, No. 66.—The modern temples round the hot springs are situated at the opening of the valley, leading to the site of the ancient city, and 66 is a view of the temples with a singular fort-looking struc- ture on the hill behind and above them. It is composed of loose unsquared stones loosely put together. No. 67.—Is a view from the same structure overlooking the hot springs and the flat country beyond them. Deoxoonp. Wo. 68.—This place is situated to the west of Gya, about 25 miles, and some distance inland from the Sone. It must have been in early days a place of some importance, and a Buddhist monastery existed, only part of which now remains, and has been converted into a Brahminist temple, and a linga placed in the shrine, but great numbers of Buddhist votive stupas, &c., were scattered about some years ago, many of which, however, have lately been covered up. A fair is held here in the month of Falgoon, where great numbers of pilgrims assemble to bathe in the koond or tank. The original temple must have been a large one, judging by the mass of brick rubbish in which the shrine is sunk, and a road had to be excavated to allow of access to it. The shrine is now surmounted by a rude dome, but the lower part is still intact, and belongs to the early Buddhist type. Davpnacar. Wo. 69.—Daudnagar is a considerable town in the banks of the Sone, and forty miles west of Gya. The town which is comparatively modern, was founded by Daid Khan, a Pathan soldier, who signalized himself by his bravery, and who subsequently, as a reward for the conquest of Palamau, received ja- geers in this neighbourhood. He erected a fortified serai for the protection of travellers, who were subject to robbery on the road along the banks of the Sone going to Patna. The photograph represents one of the gate-ways of the serai, which is now used as a dwelling-place by his descendants. Daud Khan died about 200 years ago. SHamsHERNAGAR, Vo. 70.—About eight miles lower down the Sone from Daudnagar there is a considerable village called Sham- shernagar, founded and named after a nephew of Datid Khan, Shamsher Khan, and a very pleasing structure was built by him as his tomb. It is now rapidly falling to pieces, although still in possession of his descendants. 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 263 Konon.—On the road between Daiidnagar and Gya, about sixteen miles from the latter, is the village of Konch. It consists of two parts, the bazaar on the road side and the village proper, about 100 yards to the north. Between the two villages there are extensive mounds of brick rubbish, anda great many Buddhist figures and statues are scattered about. The principal one is life- sized, beautifully carved, but the head is wanting, and represents probably Surya. Nos. 71, 72, and 73.—Higher up on the mound there are two purely Buddhist figures with the creed in inscriptions round the head, and two others, probably Surya, of a later type. Nos. 74 and 75.—Passing through the village proper you come to the large temple mentioned by Buchanan, a drawing of which is given in the Ist volume of Martin’s India. This building closely resembles in style that of the great temple at Budh Gya, and the construction is much the same ; the materials are the same ; beauti- fully moulded bricks and mud cement. The lower chamber is 10 feet square, and has an arched roof asin the Budh Gya_ temple. In the upper chamber the walls are gradually contracted, so that the four sides meet at the top. Wo. 76.—The opening into the upper chamber is also on the Lehra principle. In the construction of this bulding the Hindus showed that they understood both kinds of arch, and used them as suited their requirements. Wo. 77.—The west side of the temple has been much damaged by the heavy rains, and large masses keep falling year by year. Unless something is done, this fine temple will soon be a mass of rubbish. No. 78.—A porch had been added to the original building, or more likely, the original porch had become ruinous, and had sub- sequently been repaired. Itis 9 feet by 22 wide. In front of it a small courtyard has been added also 9 feet by 22 feet; a flight of steps led up from the level of the ground. In this courtyard and porch a great many figures have been inserted or ranged along the walls, many of which are figured in Martin’s India. Vo. 79.—To the north of the temple there are two cenotaphs over the remains of former mahunts, but there is no monastic com- munity settled here now, and the temple itself is not considered 264 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Dec. orthodox. Notwithstanding that there isa linga now occupying the shrine, the building itself is by popular tradition the work of Kol Rajahs (a generic name for the aboriginal races). This bad odour with the orthodox would seem to prove its Buddhist origin. Vo. 80.—Four miles east of Konch, on the same road, there is a village called Pali, where there must have been some large temples, only a few pillars of which are now standing. It must have been of the same style as those at Nair and Poonawa. Wo. 81.—The sculptured doorway, part of which is lying under a tree close by, closely resembles the fine one at Poonawa. SrnarEz. Vo, 82.—About eight miles west of Konch, near the village of Seharee, there is a small stone temple on the roadside ; it is constructed entirely of Chunar stone, and was completed at Chunar and sent down fit for erection. It is now the pride of the little hamlet where it stands, Oomea.—This place is situated within a mile of the dik bungalow of Madunpore on the grand trunk road, and fourteen miles west of Sherghati. Wo. 83.—The temple is built on a rocky spur of one of the high- est hills overlooking the grand trunk road, and is built entirely of squared granite blocks without cement and is in excellent preserva- tion. The height of the temple from the rock to the crest is about 60 feet, the extreme length from east to west is 68 feet, and the breadth 53 feet. No. 84.—To the north and south there are balconies which give the temple a distinctive character, and marks a transition from the open pillared portico which had previously been the rule, as at Poonawa, Nair, and Pali.

Several mounds indicate the position of the town. No. 88.—Higher up the same hill on which the temple is built, and on the summit of a higher ridge, there is a curious little altar with a huge boulder alongside it. Under the boulder sacrifices of kids and other animals are still made. Every available ledge and spur on this hill seems to have been occupied by similar structures, and there are also a great number of figures and lingams both on this and the adjoining hills. No. 89.—Still higher up, and also facing the east, are the ruins of another temple, nearly as large as the one lower down, and in the same style, but nearly the whole of the superstructure has fallen down. On the path between the two temples there are several in- scriptions cut on the face of the rock, but from the texture of the granite they are nearly illegible. On the hill opposite the dak bungalow there is a small temple and tank which are of a much earlier date, and the bricks and style re- semble those at Budh Gya. In this case also the chamber has an arched roof. Dro. No, 90.—Deo is twelve miles to the west of Oomga, and there is a very fine temple here. It is in the same style as those at Oomga and like these built of squared blocks of stone. This temple, however, faces the west, and has been highly ornamented. There is no inscription on the temple, but it may be of a somewhat earlier date than those at Oomga, No. 91.—This place is also the residence of the Maharajah Jai Pergash Singh, k.¢.s.1.

No. 92.—The bridge over the Poonpoon river, where it crosses the grand trunk road between Muddunpore and Baroon, is given simply to show the character of the scenery on this part of the country. The Poonpoon, which is here only a few miles from its source, is a mean little stream, but as it collects the whole of the rainfall between the Sone and Morhur rivers, it becomes towards Patna a large river, which lays the coun- try under water for many miles to the south-east of Patna, 266 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Dec. Curon.—lIs situated north-east of Oomga, about eight miles. A large number of isolated little hills are dotted over the country for some distance north of the grand trunk road. Many of these large masses of granite are not shown inthe revenue maps. Nearly every one of these hills had little structures of some kind on their summits. Vos. 93 and 94.—To the east of the village of Cheon there are the ruins of a temple of considerable size built of squared granite black without cement. It is now in ruins, only part of the shrine and doorway remaining. The interior of the shrine is occupied by a linga, and there are no inscriptions; but from its general resemblance to the temples at Oomga it may be considered as of the same date. Nos. 95, 96, and 97.—To the south of this temple, and to the east of a little hill there is a fine, life-sized four-armed statue with many fragments of others, also several mounds and masses of brick rubbish on every side. About 300 yards to the west, on another little hill called Puchar, there is a cave about half way up the hill. It is a natural hollow which has been built up enclosing a chamber some 10 feet by 12, with a doorway supported on bracket pillars. Inside there is a figure of Budh surrounded by a seven-headed snake called ‘lungabeer.’? There is also a figure of Mahamaya, the mother of Budh. No. 98.—A little platform has been constructed in front of the cave, and a flight of rude steps led up from below. ‘The cave faces the south. . No. 99.—About a mile to the south there is another cluster of little hills within the boundary of the village of Deokillee where there are many little caves similar to the one at Cheon. Most of them are filled up. One curious altar-like structure crowns the summit of a ridge between two hills immediately above a natural hollow in a rock which was used as a tank. No. 100.—And on the north of the hill a bund has been thrown across a hollow, thus forming a large tank, thus showing that the whole locality had been one of some importance.

Poonawa, Wo. 101,—This village is situated fourteen miles west of Gya, and the principal antiquity is a pillared temple of Trilok- nath, which has no superstructure left, but which, according to Major Kittoe, was not the case when he visited it in 1847, at which time a considerable portion of the superstructure was still perfect. No. 102.—One of the doorways is beautifully carved in black chlorite, and is the finest piece of sculpture of the kind in this part of the country. SEETAMUREE.—This place, which seems to have escaped the notice of all the antiquaries who have visited this district, although only fourteen miles from Poonawa, shows how difficult it is to obtain information of the whereabouts of antiquities, even to enquirers who devote themselves to such pursuits. The village is situated about a mile south-east of a village called Nadgurha on the Nawadah and Gya road, and fourteen miles east from Poonawa. Wo. 103.—The cave is excavated in a large block of granite on an open plain; the doorway is of the Egyptian form, being 1 foot, 10 inches at the top and 2 feet, 2 inches at the bottom. The pas- sage leads into the cave at an oblique angle, and is 3 feet, 5 inches long. The chamber itself is 15 feet, 8 inches along the floor, and 15 feet along the roof, and 6 feet, 43 high in the centre, and 11 feet, 13 inwidth, The roof is vaulted, and springs at once from the floor. The whole of the inside is highly polished, and the rock is as compact as those in which the caves are executed at Burrabur, Curiously enough there is no trace of an inscription, inside or out- side. Inside, from the high polish every where, no inscription could escape notice; outside, without a recess being cut for its reception, no inscription could be cut, and there is no sign of any such recess. Its construction at any time must have been an achievement of no ordinary kind, and it is remarkable that an inscription should have been omitted. Its date cannot be less than those at Burrabur, which it so closely resembles. The form of the doorway and the polished interior are conclusive, I think, on this point. Kurxrmar.

There are large and extensive ruins at this place, and a great number of statues scattered over a large area. The principal one is a figure of Sakya Singha sitting under the tree at Budh Gya, with representations of events of his life on either side, and a small inscription on the pedestal. Burracaon.—There is no place in this district where the ruins are so extensive, or on such alarge scale. Unfortunately, the greater part are hidden under immense mounds of brick rubbish, and altheugh the place has been used as a quarry for bricks for many years, the foundations are not yet reached. The place is the site of the ancient Nalanda, according to Colonel Cunningham, where the greatest monastery in all India existed. No. 105.—There are a series of lofty mounds some 60 feet high, covering a space 1,600 feet long, by 400 feet in width. The prin- cipal ruin is that of the great temple of Baladitya, which is said to have resembled that at Budh Gya, and must have been built be- tween 450 and 500 A. D. Nos. 106 and 107.—The statue enshrined in this temple was most likely the gigantic one now called Bhairay. It is in a sitting posi- tion, and is now collected with a number of smaller figures in a small courtyard at the foot of the large mound. No. 108.—To the north there is a large statue of the ascetic Budh, with several inscriptions on it giving the names of the attendants. No. 109.—There is also a Jain temple in the same style as the Budh Gya one, and is therefore of much the same age. No. 110.—At the adjoining village of Jagdespore there is a very fine large figure of the ascetic Budh surrounded by demons and alluring females. Curttor.—Major Kittoe notices this place as the site of one of the eighteen viharas of Behar. The ruins are very extensive, con- sisting of large mounds, with many figures and sculptures. No. 111.—The principal one is of a beautifully carved one, nearly life-size, said by Major Kittoe to be a representative of Siva, but this is doubtful, as there is a small figure of Buddha in the head- dress, the outline of an antelope forms the upper edge of the dress, which may determine what the figure really is. The expression 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Soctety. 269 and attitude of this figure has more life in it than is general amongst ancient sculptures. Darrnv.— os, 112 and 113.—TIs situated about a mile inland to the east of the Fulgo, and about fourteen miles from Gya to the north. This seems to have been the site of a large Buddhist community, and the remains are extensive. There are two temples partly stand- ing. The northern one was dedicated to Surya, and a large figure of the same is still standing inside. Wo. 114.—Both temples seemed to have had a pillared portico in front, but which has since been built up with brick. The door of the shrine in the southern temple is very fine, and has been figured in the first volume of Martin’s India. Outside there is the same curious group of a prince on horseback with the same atten- dants, &c., as at Konch, &c., only differently arranged. Nos. 115 and 116.—The south of the district of Gya is bounded by arange of hills which form the boundary between Gya and Palamau near Maharajganj. Some of these hills are composed of huge masses of granite of very suggestive outlines. The most conspicuous of these is the ‘ kotila’ or granary, the curious dome- like peak of which is nearly inaccessible. Nevertheless on certain occasions a light is observed on its summit which would show that some one has a knowledge of the way of getting up to the summit, although I believe the revenue surveyors failed to do so. Wo. 117.—The continuation of the same hills, and where the Koel river runs round their base, and at the point where the rock slopes down into the river, three large boulders block the path. These stones are said to have been collected by the popular hero ‘Bhimsen’ for his ‘chula’ or cooking-place, which the arrange- ment of the three boulders favours, as they closely resemble the three stones used by travellers to rest their pots on while cooking. On the sloping rock which dips into the river there are some curious worn hollows, which I have no doubt were caused by the women of the aboriginal tribes in husking their rice, as is the universal custom amongst the Kol tribes of Chota Nagpore, as the wooden instruments for this purpose, so commonly in use elsewhere, are not used by them. I could never obtain any clue as to the meaning of these depressions until I had seen the practice 270 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society.

Wo. 118.—Bukra. This place, which is one of the banks of the Gandack or Naraini, must have been a place of great importance, and has been identified as the ancient Vaisala, The principal antiquity is one of Asoka’s pillars surmounted by a lion. It is only 18 feet above the present level of the ground, and 27 feet, 11 inches above the level of the surrounding fields. Colonel Cunningham made an excavation down to the water level, or 14 feet below the present surface, but found no inscription, and had not then reached the square base, so that the whole length above the water level is 32 feet, and, including the statue and capital, 44 feet 2 inches. Wo. 119.—Immediately to the north, and outside the courtyard in which the pillars stand, there is a ruined brick stupa with a fine old pipul tree growing on the top. This place is famous in Bud- dhist annals as the place where the second Buddhist synod was held. LovuryA NEAR ARE-RAJ. Vo. 120.—Between Bukra and Betteah, and twenty miles north-west of Kesariya, at a village called Lourya, there is another of Asoka’s pillars, and of the same polished com- pact sandstone. It is 363 feet high and hasno capital; it is 41°8 inches in diameter at the base, and 37} inches at the top. It has several of Asoka’s edicts neatly engraved on both sides, and the letters are still as fresh and sharp as if only done a year ago. Smroun.—On the borders of Nepal, north-east of Motihari, is the fort of Simroun, the ancient capital of Mithila. The ruins cover an area of sixteen square miles, but are so overgrown with dense jungle that it is almost impossible to make out anything. A brick wall of four feet thick by a further thickness of 10 feet of mud, surrounds the whole. The bricks used ave large, 10’ & 7’ & 2’, well burnt, and finely fitted together. Within the outer enclosure there is another, comprising about five acres; inside this was the palace and principal buildings. Between the two enclosures a great number of figures, carvings, statues, and large wells built with stone are scattered all over. The palace and many of the principal 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 271 buildings were built of squared blocks of sandstone 3 feet by 14. Some part of the walls are still standing, but from the irregularity of the upper courses they must have been rebuilt, so that little remains to show what the structures original were Nos. 121 and 122.—Some large figures are collected near the little modern temple, which are beautifully carved, and seem repre- sentatives of Surya. Some slabs of sandstone are collected in the same place which no doubt formed part of a doorway, and executed in the very best manner. They consist of several figures enclosed in scrolls of lotus stem in a most beautiful and artistic manner. No. 123.—An inscription let into the wall of the little temple is quite modern, but I am convinced this stone had an older inscrip- tion which must have been obliterated to receive the modern one. Wo. 124.—This is a view of the rock in which the ‘ Karna Chow- par’ cave, at Burrahur, has been excavated, and showing the general appearance from the east of the immense granite block in which the cave has been excavated, and also the scarped rock to the south. Wo. 125.—Is a sculptured slab with a representation of the nine Avatars let into the wall of the porch of the temple at Konch. Wo. 126.—Is a curious slab with some carved figures, and sur- mounted by some singular emblems with an inscription in Sanscrit underneath: unfortunately the inscription is too much worn to be decipherable. The figures represent a seated figure in the centre, something like a Budh, with male and female figures on either side. The emblems above are an open hand with a rosette in the palm ; the emblems of the sun and moon on either side. There are three specimens of this emblematical stone in this district; the present one is from the banks of the large tank at Madinpore on the grand trunk road twenty-four miles west from Sherghati, near the temple of Oonga; the other one is under a tree near that temple ; and the third is on the temple of Gajadhur at Gya. All of these stones are nearly similar, and the stone is the same in each case, viz., a soft soapstone, and in consequence the inscription is not readable in either of them. From the style of workmanship and the peculiar selection of this soft stone, it is probable that these stones are the work of a different race of people from the 272 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society.

Sasseram, from having been selected by Sher Shah as his residence, was atone time a place of great importance, and there are very interesting buildings still in existence, although from inferior work- manship many of them are in a very dilapidated condition, and in a few more seasons some of them will have fallen.

From the north side of the tank a bridge leads to the island, on which the tomb stands ; it has partially fal- len down, and is replaced by a mud embankment. The island is raised by steps from the level of the water. Above this is a wall 80 feet high, surmounted by battlements six feet high. ‘The ter- race is placed obliquely on the island, for what reason it is diffi- cult to say. The four corners of the battlements are formed into octagonal buildings, forming inside airy apartments. There are two balconies projecting on either side supported by stone brackets covered by cupolas supported by four stone pillars. The tomb it- self consists of a great hall surrounded by an arcade forming a gal- lery. In the centre of the great hall is the grave of the king op- posite the niche for prayer: the other graves are said to be those of favourite officers. Wo. 135.—Sher Shah also erected a large monument to the memory of his father Husain Khan Stir, in the middle of the town ; it is enclosed in alarge area by a high wall of cut stone; the tomb is not so large as that of his son, but like it consists of a large hall surrounded by an arcade and covered with a handsome dome. . _Rohtasgarh.—This fortress is situated on the banks of the river Sone, at a distance of some thirty miles south of the grand trunk road, and occupies the whole of the crest of a nearly isolated spur of the great table-land. Buchanan Hamilton, in Martin’s India, states that this important fortress derives its name from the young prince Rohitasiva, the son Harishchandra, a king of the family of the sun, in the most remote period of Hindu legend. His image, he further says, was worshipped at this place, until the time of Aurungzeb. From the time of Harishchandra until the 12th century of the Christian era, it is not known in whose possession the fortress remained, but at this time it belonged to Pratapa Devala, father of the last Hindu emperor, and it continued for some time subject to his descendants. The tradition is, that it came under the Mussulman rule in the time of Sher Shah, A. D. 1539, and that on its capture he immediately set to work on streng- thening its defences, but that the works projected were never com- pleted owing to his having discovered amore favourable situation at 274 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. — [Dre. Shergarh near Sasseram, where he erected a fortress named after himself. When Man Singh was selected as viceroy of Behar, he selected Rohtas as a place of safety for his treasure and family, and almost the whole of the present buildings were erected by him, and this is confirmed by the inscriptions on the principal entrance to the palace, and also on the gateway of the fortress leading to the main table-land called the Ketantya gate. From these it would appear that the works were finished in the year 1654 Sambat, or A. D. 1597, The fortress occupies the whole of the plateau, measuring about four miles from east to west, and five miles north to south; but from the deep windings of the precipitous crest, the whole circum- ference is said to be twenty-eight miles round. Vo. 136.—The palace called the Mahal Sarai extends its greatest length north and south and the principal front faces the west, where it overlooks a large enclosure, probably intended as a parade ground, as the principal state rooms have balconies projecting from the walls overlooking this enclosure. No. 137.—At the southern end of the principal front is a large arched gateway with two elephants cut in the stone on either side, ‘and consequently called the Hathiya Pul. Within this gate there ‘are several vaults and recesses for the accommodation of the guard and the officers on duty. Vo. 188,—Passing through this gateway the passage leads into a sort of courtyard, and immediately opposite the entrance is one of the finest buildingsin the whole place. It was the public recep- tion room, and was called the Barahdoware or twelve gates, and it is divided into two principal halls, one behind the other, with lofty arched roofs, and are the only respectably sized rooms in the whole palace. No, 189.—The eastern face of Barahdoware is ornamented with a double row ofarched doors giving light to the spacious halls behind, and also giving a light, graceful appearance to this side, which is wanting in the principal front. No. 140.—The northern part of the palace seems to have been the quarter set aside for the ladies’ apartments, and the chief building was surrounded on three sides by a flower garden.

The inscription is given both in Hindi and Persian on the same tablet. - No. 144.—To the north-west of the palace, where Sher Shah had contemplated the erection of a citadel, there are the remains of several very large buildings. The principal one is the tomb of the superintendent of the works, who is said to have been an Abys- sinian slave (Habshi). It is in the same style as the tomb at Sasseram, and is now picturesquely overgrown with jungle. Wo. 145.—Between the palace and the edge of the precipice, there is a small ravine by which the water from the tanks above finds its way to the edge of the precipice over which it throws itself in a tiny rill, which is lost in spray before reaching the bottom. From the opposite bank of this ravine, a good view of the palace is obtained.

The task of searching for MSS. during the past year was confided to the travelling Pandit solely, circumstances not having permitted me to proceed to the mofussil. The Pandit had, how- ever, the aid of the Rev. J. Long for a time at Dacca, and subse- quently consulted me regularly about his work, furnishing me every week nominal lists of whatever MSS. he met with, and notic- ing in detail those only which I thought to be new or rare. 3. Nearly four months were spent by the Pandit at Dacca, Vikrampur, and other old towns and villages in Eastern Bengal, and most of the leading pandits and zemindars of those places were consulted. No one evinced any disposition to withhold in- formation or aid. The Kundu family of Bhagyakula took great interest in the operations of the Pandit. They convened a meet- ing of the influential people of their neighbourhood at their house, and urged them to assist us with the loan of MSS. They also testified their sense of the importance of the undertaking by sub- scribing Rs. 1000, towards its furtherance. The amount was sent to the Government of Bengal, and has since been received by the Society. Dacca, however, though celebrated as a seat of commerce for over two thousand years, and the metropolis of Bengal for a time during the supremacy of the Muhammadans, never acquired any reputation for learning, and does not contain ,any Sanskrit work of great value. All the MSS. that were examined turned out to be such as are common everywhere, or of little importance. Be- tween forty and fifty little treatises were found, which were new to the Society, and detailed notices of these have been secured, 4. On the return of the Pandit from Dacca he was sent to Bansberiya in Zilla Hugli, which was at one time noted as a seat 278 Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. [ Dre. of Sanskrit learning; but nothing of any interest was met with there. 5. The Pandit was therefore, after a fortnight’s stay at that place, sent on to Burdwan where I had hoped to find large collec- tions of MSS. in the Library of the Mahéraja and the pandits of the district. But I was equally disappointed there. The Maha- raja, at my request, very obligingly allowed the Pandit access to his Library, but there were not quite a hundred MSS. in Sanskrit, and they comprised the Mahabhirata and other well known works which have been already printed, The head pandit of the Maha- raja’s palace, however, showed some works on the Vedanta new to the Society’s Library, and notices of these have been duly se- eured. Burdwan, is a place of some antiquity, and was of considers able importance during the Muhammadan rule, but it seems, like Dacca, to be very poor in Sanskrit works, and there is not a single pandit of any note who has a decent collection of MSS. 6. The disappointment at Burdwan, however, was amply com- pensated at Mankar, near the Boodbood station of the Hast Indian Railway. Babu Hitalala Mis’ra, a zemindar and Honorary Magis- trate of the sub-division, has an excellent library, in which the travelling Pandit found between five and six hundred works on the Vedanta. These I had hoped, would have occupied his time for at least four months, but before he had time to take notes of about forty or fifty works, the Dusserah vacation intervened, and the Babu’s pandit subsequently falling ill, there was nobody to keep the library open, and the travelling Pandit had to be removed to Halisahar, a small town situated opposite Hugli. 7. Halisahar had at one time a large number of toles or colleges of Sanskrit learning, and several are still extant. In the time of Raja Krishnachandra Raya of Nadia, about one hundred and fifty years ago, the place was celebrated for its Nydya school, and some of the best pandits of Calcutta came from that place. But the pandits who now own the toles, proved the most bigotted of their kind, and offered so many obstacles, and raised so many difficulties, that after two months’ stay, my travelling Pandit had to return without getting a single work of any importance. 8. During the last two months of the year, the travelling Pan- 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 279 dit was employed in examining the library of the late Sir Raja Rédhékanta Bahddur, K. C. 8. I. where he will have ample work for at least four months. 9. My assistant was, for a time during the period under report, employed in examining the library of Raji Yatindramohana Tha- kura of Calcutta, who has very kindly placed his collection of MSS. at my disposal. It is perhaps the richest private collection in Calcutta, and contains a larger number of Tantras than what I have any where else met with, not excepting the collections of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and of the Sanskrit colleges of Calcutta and Benares. Very few works of this class have yet been examined by European orientalists, and owing to the circumstance of some of them being of an offensive character, they are generally looked upon with disfavour. They are wanting too in the halo of anti- quity. Theoldest among them, as far as I can guess, does not date before the 3rd century of Christ, and the bulk of them were composed probably between the 5th and the 12th cen- turies. They exercise, however, the most sovereign influence on the religious life of the Hindus, and control all their actions. A few display a curious phase of thought, in which a hyper- trophy of the sentiment of veneration for the creative energy has lead to the most mystic and obscene rites that mankind has ever indulged in. Some of the works of this class profess to be revela- tions by. S‘iva made at the request of his consort Parvati, and a great many are acknowledged to be compilations, but they all have the same characteristics, the same style of composition, and very similar professions of faith. Their subjects are various. Ancient legends, topography, medicine, and grammar are frequently treated of, but those subjects are all intended to lead to the establishment of the preéminence of the female energy in the creation of the world, or the mysterious adoration of the phallic emblems as the means of salvation. Traces of this dogma may be noticed in the Egyptian, the Chaldee, the Hebrew, the Gnostic, the Greek and other ancient creeds, but nowhere has it been developed to so inordinate or revolting an extent, or carried to so extravagant a length as in the Tantras, and in that respect they are of interest to the antiquarian and the student of ancient religious history. 280 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Dzc. The mystic charms and mantras and gesticulations which the bet- ter class of these works inculcate have, further, almost entirely superseded the rituals of the Vedas, and in the present day scarce- ly a ceremonial is performed, or a prayer repeated by a Hindu, which does not borrow its primary elements from the Tantras. For a correct understanding of the modern Indian forms of religion it is necessary, therefore, that these works should be carefully examined, and their true character thoroughly brought to light. It may be added also that, however offensive some of these works may appear in the light of modern European civilization, they were held in peculiar esteem by: the dreamy monastic followers of the Buddhist creed in the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries, who translated a great number of them, and compiled others, with a view to engraft their doctrines on Buddhism, and we find in Csoma de Korosi’s essay on the Buddhist literature of Nipal and Tibet hundreds of Tantras noticed as forming parts ofthe sacred scriptures of those places. Mr. Hodgson describes them as containing the esoterics of the Buddhist religion of Nipal, and in connexion with the Bud- dhism of the north, these works, therefore, are also of importance. 10. According to the Nila Tantra, the original Tantric revela- tions of S‘iva are reckoned at 64, but their number has of late multiplied manyfold, and in the collection of Raja Yatindramohana Thakura, there are upwards of three hundred different works. Most of them are, however, fragmentary, and others are avowed compi- lations. In the notices already published I have given brief ac- counts of upwards of a hundred of these works, and I hope ere long to add considerably to that number. In Europe there are not a score of these works to be met with in the India House, the Berlin, the Bodleian, and other collections. 11. Altogether notices of about six hundred manuscripts have been compiled, and are now ready for the press. 12. The publication of the notices has not been carried on so expeditiously as could be wished. The form originally suggested by me and approved by the Society, did not meet with the appro- bation of the Government of India, and the correspondence which thereupon ensued, prevented me from pushing on the work. I have, therefore, to report the publication of only two numbers of 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 281 about 250 pages, containing notices of 317 manuscripts. These, with the first number which has been reprinted (the first edition having been exhausted), constitute a volume of 360 pages, contain- ing notices of 519 works, of which 40 are on rituals, phonetics and other Vedic subjects, 32 on the Nyaya, 17 on the Vedanta, 20 on astronomy and astrology, 14 grammars, 23 Kavyas, 14 Natakas and 38 Smriti treatises. The body of the Vedas are represented by only two works, the Rudrakanda of the Yajur Veda and the Chhén- dogya Brahmana of the Sama Veda. This paucity is, however, nota subject of wonder, considering that the study of the Vedas had fallen into disuse in Bengal long before the reign of the Sena rajas, and the founder of their dynasty, nine hundred years ago had to obtain five Brahmans versed in Vedic rites from the King of Kanauj to officiate at a sacrifice. The descendants of those priests, who now constitute the bulk of the Brahmans of this pro- vince, have nowhere kept up the learning of their ancestors, and not a single native of Bengal is to be now met with who has sys- tematically studied the Vedas. The Vedic Sttras are also ill-re- presented, and the few that have been noticed were obtained from Benares. The philosophical and theological portions of the Vedas, the Upanishads, have, however, been represented by no less than 75 treatises, most of which will be new to European scholars. The Puranas are met with in considerable numbers in Bengal, but as most of them are contained in the Library of the Asiatic Society, I have not deemed it expedient to notice them at length, On the completion of the Society’s catalogue, which is now in a forward state, full information regarding them will be rendered accessible to scholars. 13. Annexed is a list of the MSS. which have been purchased for Government. Most of them, it is believed, will be new to the In- dia House Library, though some of them are of little interest. They had to be bought as they formed parts of a collection which could not be broken up. Owing to the owner not having called for their price, most of them have not yet been paid for. Three of the works in the list, vz. the 2nd part of the Sankhayana Sutra, the Vivarana Bhashya and the Chhandogaparis’‘ishta, were copied from codices in the possession of pandits at Benares.

Srouiczxa, Pu. D., Hony. Secretary, As. Soc. of Bengal, To HR. O. Baytuy, Ese., CO. 8. 1, Secretary to the Government of In- dia, Home Department. Sir,—I am instructed by the President and Council of the Asia- tic Society of Bengal, to solicit the favorable consideration of His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General in Council to a sub- ject which appears to the Council of the Society one of the very highest importance, namely, the desirability of undertaking deep sea dredgings in Indian waters. The Council believe they can best bring the matter before His Excellency in Council by submitting a copy of a Memorandum, drawn up at the suggestion of the Natural History Committee and, after full discussion by the Committee, accepted by the Council of the Society. It cannot, the Council believe, be questioned that results are to be expected from deep sea dredgings of the highest importance for the progress of both biological and physical science. It is a well known fact, that in former periods of our planet there prevailed a much more uniform distribution of temperature, and of animal and vegetable life, In the kainozoic epoch the climate in Europe was somewhat similar to that of our present Indian and Australian waters, and many of the then inhabitants of the seas shew great affinities to those now found living in Indian seas. In order to trace the connection of these faunas, dredging in Indian waters would undoubtedly supply most valuable materials. Again, as yet there have been no systematic observations made regarding the laws regulating the temperature of water in Indian seas, the various currents, the physical character of sea bottom, &e, Valuable results may, therefore, be justly expected for the progress of hydrography, and collaterally for the benefit of navigation; and 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 287 equally important will be the examination of the sea bottom for the study of geology and physical geography. An undertaking of this range is beyond the means of any private individual, but its importance is so great that the Council believe it to be well worth the consideration of His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General in Council, and the enlightened Government of a powerful State like the Indian empire. The Council of the Society are, therefore, confident that His Ex- cellency in Council will approve generally of the proposal, put for- ward in the accompanying Memorandum, and trust that he will give the undertaking the same generous support which has been afforded to similar expeditions in England and other countries. They would hope that steps might at once be taken in commu- nication with the Admiral commanding the Indian stations, and that this project may be brought under the consideration of the Lord Commissioners of her Majesty’s Admiralty at home, so that certain special preparations which will be required may be made without delay. Owing to the peculiar nature of the climate in these latitudes such researches can be favourably carried on only during one-half of the year, and the importance of completing preliminary arrangements at an early period becomes, therefore, more obvious. Memorandum on Deep Sea Dredging Operations proposed to be under- taken in Indian Waters. The Sub-Committee appointed to consider the desirability of un- dertaking Deep Sea Dredging in Indian waters, beg to submit the following Memorandum on this subject :— . The vast importance of Deep Sea Dredging for the ntady of Zoology, Geology, Physics and Hydrography has been placed be- yond all doubt by the results of the explorations which have been lately carried on, and are still being prosecuted, under the auspices of the Governments of England, Sweden and Norway, and in America. In England, the importance of such researches was re- commended to the consideration of the Royal Society of London chiefly for the following reasons :— 288 Proceedings of the Asiatie Society. [ Dec. 1. To test a rather generally accepted opinion that no animal life existed below the depth of a few hundred fathoms : 2. To determine the influence of light and of pressure upon animal life at great depths: 3. To further the study of the geographical distribution of animal and vegetable life. 4, ‘To deterniine the temperature, the strength and direction of the currents, the relative Chemical composition and the amount of dissolved gases in Sea Water at various depths, &c. 5. ‘To determine the nature of the Deep Sea bottom, the mode of its deposition, and the sources whence the materials composing it were derived. . The interest attaching to the study of these questions, and their important bearing upon the progress of Biological and Physical Science, having been duly considered by the Royal Society, it was resolved that application should be made to Government for assise tance. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty in the most liberal manner acceded to the recommendation of the Royal Society by placing a suitable vessel at the disposal of the Dredging Com- mittee by whom the Scientific exploration of the Deep Sea has been, and is being, most successfully prosecuted. The results of their explorations have been given from time to time in the reports printed in the Proceedings of the Royal Society (Vol. XVII, No. 107, Vol. XVIII, No. 121, &c.), and they fully justify the high expectation of success from the expedition which had been formed. The Sub-Committee would only draw attention to one or two of the most important acquisitions to science. Dredging operations conducted down to the enormous depth of upwards of two thousand fathoms have proved the existence of animal and vegetable life in abundance, even at that vast depth. Most valuable observations have been made on the rate of di- minution of temperature with increase of depth. The existence of two distinct submarine climates in close proximity and on the same level, called respectively the Warm and the Cold areas, has been most conclusively proved, and each area has been shewn to possess its own peculiar fauna and sea-bed; this in the warm area being almost entirely composed of Globigerina-mud and in the cold area 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 289 of fragments of rocks. It seems impossible to overrate the impor- tant bearing of these observations on the study of Geology. The Atlantic sea-bed was in places found to be covered with a jelly-like net work of protoplasm (Bathybius of Huxley), which offers a curious parallel to the Laurentian Eozoon, the oldest trace of animal life yet discovered. Up to the present time naturalists in India never have had a ‘possibility of carrying out such researches. There has been no vessel, fitted for such duties available, and no means of carrying them on. Since, however, it has been determined to form the In- dian waters into a special naval station, and several steamers have been placed on the station, it is hoped that the possibilities of success have been entirely changed. ‘The experienced officer who commands the station is fully alive to the great importance of enquiries such as we have alluded to, and has expressed his anxious willingness to aid them, in so far as his duty will permit. The readiness and friendly support which the Lords Commissioners of the British Admiralty have shewn in the promotion of any line of research calculated to advance knowledge, lead us also to hope that the same friendly aid will be extended to Indian naturalists, and we would, therefore, urge that an application be made to the Government of India for its support in these enquiries, with a re- quest that it will also urge the question on the favourable consider- ation of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Admiralty, so that if consistent with naval duties, some one of the steamers, now in these waters, might for a time be placed at the service of the Committee. It is beyond doubt that results of equal value and importance to those obtained by the Dredging Expeditions at home can, and will, be obtained by explorations of a similar kind undertaken in Indian waters, and, no regular dredging operations having ever been con- ducted in the seas of a tropical country, the Sub-Committee ven- ture to think that the more favourable climate and the far richer fauna and flora of tropical and subtropical regions justify the ex- pectation of even more numerous and more varied results, than those which have been obtained in colder regions. The variety and abundance of animal life must be enormous, because we have 290 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [ Dc. to deal in the Indian seas with such vast differences of depth and, by a consequence, of temperature. It is known that these seas are the home of several species of Mollusca and other invertebrate animals only known to occur besides in the Middle and Upper Tertiaries of Europe. Of others occurring in the same, and even in more ancient, deposits, we know that the nearest living repre- sentatives are only to be found in Australian waters, and it would be a most valuable acquisition both for Geological and Zoological ® science, if we could in any way establish a connexion between these widely separated faunas. Again, it is an acknowledged fact that complete and rapid de- struction of organic life hardly ever extends over very large areas. We know the enormous richness of the Cephalopodous fauna that existed during the latter part of the Cretaceous Epoch in some dis- tricts of Southern India, and it seems to us almost incredible that such a vast variety of forms of animal life should have in one moment, so to speak, been entirely extinguished. Moreover, the fact that species of Wautilus, very similar to those found fossil in the deposits just mentioned, continue to live in the waters of the Bay of Bengal, almost justifies the expectation that some recent descendants of the Ammomtide, believed to be entirely extinct, also may have survived. ? The Sub-Committee are confident that explorations of the deep sea in Indian waters will not only furnish data which will illustrate the modification of certain supposed laws regulating animal and vegetable life in countries Geographically and Climatologically different, but that they will undoubtedly supply much and most important material for the study and explanation of many yet obscure facts in Zoology, Geology, Physics, and the collateral branches of science. The Sub-Committee, therefore, earnestly hope that Government may be led to regard the undertaking of Deep Sea Dredging in Indian waters as the most important source whence great progress to Natural History and Physical Science will result. In the first instance your Committee would suggest the exami- nation of the Bay of Bengal by a line of Dredging right across from new Juggurnath Black Temple to Cape Nigrais, to be fol- 1871. ] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 291 lowed by another traverse from near Madras to the Andamans or the Nicobars, and again by a line from Ceylon to the coast of Sumatra. It would be necessary that, say three persons acquainted with the mode of enquiry should accompany each expedition, and it is hoped that sufficient accommodation could readily be found for them on board. It is unnecessary to point out, that very vast acquisitions to our knowledge of the depths, currents, character of bottom, &c., of that part of the Indian Ocean and of the Bay of Bengal would result from these traverses, quite independently of the additions to our knowledge of the life, inhabiting these as yet entirely un- searched seas. Your Sub-Committee, however, do not wish to insist on the adoption of this ground in the first instance. No course can be taken which will not yield a rich harvest of novelties and additions, and they would suggest that the convenience of the vessels on the station, should be one of the first considerations, as well as the climatal periods of Monsoon, &c., &e. With regard to the appliances necessary for Deep Sea Dredging, the Sub-Committee beg to enumerate the following— 1, Three dredges of various sizes and an adequate supply of strong Manilla rope, which will probably be best obtained through the Admiralty. For heaving up the dredge, the vessel charged with the conduct of the expedition, should be provided with a donkey-en- gine, and might be otherwise so fitted as to render it adapted for the duty : the latest experiences in Deep Sea Dredging at home, have shewn that a donble-cylinder donkey-engine proved to be the most efficient contrivance for hauling-in. 2. Sounding leads. 3. At least adozen of Siemann’s differential thermometers ; or Prof. Miller’s new Thermometer for Deep Sea Dredgings; these may be obtained from the Meteorological Department at home. 4. Water bottles. 5. In order to determine the nature and proportion of the dis- solved gases, contained in sea water from various depths, an opera- tion which must be performed at once on ship-board—3 glass hydrometers and 2 of Prof. Miller’s apparatus for the Analysis of gases will be necessary. 292 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Dzo. 6. The Sub-Committee believe that an annual grant of Rs. 2000, placed at the disposal of the Dredging Committee for the purchase of glass bottles, spirits of wine, scientific apparatus, &c., &c., necessary for the preservation and examination of the material obtained, would be sufficient. 7. They recommend that a Dredging Committee be appointed by the Government, including— The President of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, for the time being. Do., Natural History Committee, ditto.

With reference to the communication from the Department of No. 423, dated 28th Agriculture, Revenueand Commerce, noted October, 1871. in the margin, the undersigned has the honor to transmit copy of a letter from His Excellency the Com- mander-in-Chief of Her Majesty’s Naval Forces, dated 9th October, and of the reply, No. 36, dated 27th October, regarding Her Majes- ty’s Ship “ Dryad.” 2. The “Dryad” will proceed to Bombay for repairs and return to the Sandheads the last week in December, to meet and convey the King of Siam to Calcutta. She may perhaps afterwards be required to proceed to Burmah, so that itis much regretted that it is not at present possible to promise that her services shall be available for other duty, but the request will be borne in mind. (Sd.) H. K. Burne, Secretary to the Government of India. To the Department of Agriculture, Revenue and Commerce. From His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of Her Majesty's Naval Forces, East Indies. To Major General H. W. Norman, O. B. Secretary to the Government of India, Marine Department. H. M.S. “Guascow.” Zrincomallie, 9th October, 1871. Sir,—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st ultimo.—(Marine Department No. 384) conveying the request of His Excellency the Viceroy for H. M. S. ‘* Wolverene” to be sent to the Isthmus of Kra in January next to embark the King of Siam who is about to visit British India, I have to inform you that the “‘ Wolverene” has sailed for the East Coast of Africa,my Flag-ship (the “ Glasgow”) taking her place here. Some time since I received a letter from Mr. Stoliczka, the Secre- _tary to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, requesting my co-operation 1871.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 297 in a scientific exploration of the sea of Bengal. I answered that I would take an early opportunity to consult with the Viceroy and to suggest that ‘the Second Vessel of War’’ stationed in this sea be so employed. I wish now to propose that the ‘‘ Dryad” (the Second Vessel of War) a ship of 1000 tons, be substituted for the ‘‘ Wolverene;” and that on her arrival at Bombay next month, (for repairs) suffi- cient accommodation be temporarily added for the use of the scien- tific gentlemen, who would embark for the Marine explorations; this additional accommodation would render her a very suitable vessel to embark His Majesty of Siam. I do not think the expense of this extra cabin-room would cost above £100. I shall be glad to know His Excellency the Viceroy’s opinion upon this proposition. I have, &c., (Sd.) J.
