1. On the Antiquity and traditions of Shahzdidpur—By Mavurayvi AspuL WALI. (Abstract. )
The author brings together all that is known of the traditions and ancient remains of Shahzadpur, in the Sirajganj subdivision of the Pubna district, and thence attempts to reach the underlying substratum of fact.
Shahzadpur has a small brick mosque of ancient construction with 28 black basalt columns and door jambs of the same probably taken from some Hindu temple. South of the mosque are more than twenty tombs including the shrines of Makhdiim Sahib, the martyr, of Khwajah Kalan Danishmand, his nephew, and of the darvish Shah Yusuf. There are also two large burying places of martyrs. A fair is held annually near the mosque in April and May. Bokhara pigeons are found round the mosque and in the neighbouring villages.
The tradition is that Makhdim Shah was the son of a king: of Yaman in Arabia. With a large following, including his sister, three nephews, and twelve darvishes, he set out on a religious expedition for the spread of Islam. At Bokhara they were given a few khaki coloured pigeons. At length they arrived in ships at Bengal which was then mostly under water. The pigeons discovered land near Shahzadpur and Makhdim Shah and his followers took possession of it. In the conflict which followed between them and the Hindu rajah of the country most of the Moslems were martyred. Supernatural signs led the rajah to repent. He accordingly buried the martyrs with due solemnity and built the mosque.
The author points out that the king of Yaman whom the tradition calls the father of Makhdtim: Shah was a contemporary of the Prophet. His descendants may have emigrated to Trans-Oxcania or Bokhara. Makhdtm Sahib, a member of the family, may have been contemporary with Nizamu-d-din Auliyé, may have come to Bengal about the time of its conquest by Muhammad-i-Bakht-Yar, and may have fought and died as the tradition says. As his ancestor was a Shahzada, the place of his death received the name of Shahzadpur.

2. The method of preparing Calendars and fixing festival dates by the Hindus.— By Gertnoranaty Durr, Superintendent, Raj Hatwa.
( Abstract. )
This note has been prepared in response to a circular letter from Mr, E. A. Gait, Superintendent of Ethnography in Bengal, asking for information regarding the rules by which astrologers of all classes pre- pare calendars and fix the dates of festivals. The author explains the well-known differences between Siddhantas and Karanas, between the purnimanta system of Northern India and the amanta system of South- ern India, and between the luni-solar year by which religious festivals are calculated and the solar year which is the Bengali civil year. He gives formule according to the Karanas or practical works in use. He defines the principal Hindu festivals as reckoned by the lunar months. He contends that in the early Vedic age the new year was calculated from the sun’s entering the Pleiades, and that the vernal equinox was at the Pleiades about B.C. 2500,
. 3. Further notes on the Bhojpuri dialects spoken in Saran and on the origin of Kaytht characters—By GeRINDRANATH Dutt, Superintendent, hay Hatwa, (Abstract. )
The author considers that the present Bodjpuri dialect is an ad- mixture of the Kanaujiya dialect and the Magadhi dialect, the latter being the predominant element. -He contrasts the Gandak and the Goera valleys physically and linguistically. The Gogra valley is fertile and busy; men speak quickly and their words get clipped and short- ened. The Gandak valley is sandy, unhealthy and backward. The population is dull and stagnant, and dialectical changes are fewer and slower.
The author would derive the Kaythi character mainly from Asgoka’s Pali character, so that in modern Kaythi we have in a veiled form the most ancient characters of India.
4. The Khurda copper plate grant of Madhava, king of Kalinga. By Ganca Monan Laskar, M.A., Government Research Scholar. Oommuni- cated by MAHAMAHOPADHYAYA HARAPRASAD SHASTRI.
(Abstract. )
This set of three copper plates comes from Khurda in Orissa and forms the second record ever discovered of king Madhava and of the Sailodhhava dynasty from which he is sprung; the only other known record of this dynasty is a copper plate charter of the same king
4 Papers. [Jan., 1904.]
Madhava, found in the Baguda village of the Goomsur taluk in the Ganjam district. Dr. Keilhorn gives an account of the Baguda plate in the Epigraphia India, Vol. III., p. 40.
The new record consists of three plates strung together by a ring, the ends of which are secured in a seal. The seal contains in relief the figure of a bull and the words, “‘Sré Sainyabhétasya”’ (7.e., of the glo- rious Sainyabhéta.) All the plates are inscribed, the middle one on sides. The engraving is deep and legible.
The character of writing indicates that these plates cannot be later than the latter half of the seventh century. The plates enable us to revise the genealogy of the dynasty which stands thus :—
Sailodbhara, the founder.
Rarabhita, descended from 1.
Sainyabhita J, son of 2.
Yasobhita I, descended from 3.
Sainyabhita II, son of 4.
Yasobhita II, son of 5.
Madhavaraya, Madhavendra, or Madhava Varman, son of 6.

Finance,
The Accounts of the Society are shown in the Appendix under the usual heads. ;
Statement No. 8 contains the Balance Sheet of the Society, and of the different funds administered through it.
The financial position of the Society show a steady increase and the credit balance at the close of the year amounts Rs. 1,81 826- 9-6, which is over six thousand rupees better than last year.
The Budget for 1903 was estimated at the following figures :-— Receipts Rs. 18,500 ; Expenditure Rs. 22,449-4 (Ordinary Rs. 16,949-4, Extraordinary Rs. 5,500).
Taking into account only the ordinary items of receipts and expendi- ture for the year 1903, the actual results have been :—Receipts Rs. 20,313-9-6. Expenditure Rs. 11,966-10-3, showing a balance in favour of the Society on its ordinary working of Rs. 8,346-15-3. Against this balance there has been several extraordinary items of ex- penditure amounting to Rs. 4,593-7-6. Notwithstanding this extra- ordinary expenditure there is still a saving of Rs. 3,753-7-9 during the year. In addition to this, a sumof Rs. 544 has been added to the Reserve Fund on account of entrance fees paid during the year.
There is an increase in receipts under every head except ‘‘ Rent of
Rooms” and this is due to the non-receipt of rent from the Photographic Society of India for one month, which has been received in 1904. oo We ordinary expenditure was estimated at Rs. 16,949-4, but the amount paid out was only Rs. 11,966-10-3. The principal items in excess were “ Lighting,” “Meetings,” and “Contingencies.” ‘“ Lighting” was estimated at Rs. 100, while the actuals were Rs. 261-4. This increase is chiefly due to the payment of bills for electric lights and fans. Owing to expenses incurred in connection with two Scientific Lectures given in the Society’s rooms, there is an increase of Rs. 54-3 under the head ‘* Meetings.”
The increase of Rs. 240-0-4 for Contingencies is due to various

sundry items of expenditure, viz., for illuminating the Society’s premises on the occasion of the Coronation celebration in Calcutta. There is a very slight increase under the heads “ Freight” and “Proceedings. ”
The actual expenditure on the Journal was as follows :—

against a budget provision of Rs. 6,200. This is less than the Budget estimate by Rs. 4,456-13-9, but it must be mentioned that several bills for printing the Journal have not yet been paid owing to an extra charge under the head “ Alterations,”” which the Superintendent of the Baptist Mission Press has been asked to explain. Against these bills, a sum of Rs. 3,642-2 has been paid as “‘ advance,” which together with the actual expenditure on the three parts of the Journal amounts to Rs. 5,385-4-3. .
There were three extraordinary items of expenditure during 1903 under the heads of “ Royal Society’s Catalogue,” “Type-Writer and Duplicator, ” and ‘“‘ Max Miller Memorial Fund ’’ not provided for in the Budget. The expenditure on the Royal Society’s Catalogue has been Rs. 618-14-6, while the receipts under this head from subscription on behalf of the Central Bureau has been Rs. 1,647-11, which sum will be remitted during the current year. Rs. 532-8 has been spent for a Type-Writer and a Duplicator for the Society’s office, and a sum of Rs. 669-10 has been remitted to the Secretary, Max Miller Memorial Fund. This amount was collected by the Society in aid of the fund.
- Out of the sum of Rs. 1,000 budgetted for the Society’s Library Catalogue, only Rs. 358-7 has been spent towards the salary of the assistant engaged in revising the Library Catalogue and other as incurred in connection therewith.
- The Budget Estimate of probable Receipts and Disbursements for 1904 has been fixed as follows :—Receipts Rs. 17,700, Expendituré Rs. 17,254-4.
On the Receipt side, the estimated income under the head of “ Tos terest. on Investments” is based upon the actuals of the last year. ‘Rent of Rooms” has been decreased by Rs. 1,125 as the Photographic Society of India, owing to insufficiency of accommodation, have. decided to vacate the rooms rented to them by the end of February 1904.
On the Expenditure side, the items of “Freight” and “ Meetings” have been slightly increased. Lighting has been increased by Rs. 220

owing to electric lights and fans, and the item of Contingencies is based upon the actuals of the past three years. Other heads remain unaffected.
There will, however, be four Extraordinary items of expenditure tobe dealt. with during the year 1904. Rs. 1,000 has been budgetted for Library Catalogue to meet expenses that may be incurred during the year. Mr. A. E. Caddy has been entrusted with cleaning and varnishing the Society’s pictures at a fee of Rs. 1,000, and he has received Rs. 500 as “advance.” It is further under the consideration of the Council to reline and repair certain pictures, and Mr. Caddy is willing to carry out the work. at a fee of not more than Rs. 800. A sum of Rs. 1,800 has been allotted for these purposes. The Council have ordered out from London oak gilt frames for the Society’s pictures at an estimated cost of Rs. 3,000, and to pay off Messrs. Martin and Co. for renewing the floor of the entrance of the Society’s premises. Their dues amount to a sum of Rs. 2,320. 2

Agencies.
Our London Agency is still in the hands of Messrs. Luzac & Co. Owing to the death of Mr. C. G. Luzac and the unsettled condition of the firm, we will probably have to change their London Agency. They have submitted a statement of sales during 1902 and 1903. The value of the publications sent to them during the year amounts to £75-4-6 re- presenting 702 copies of the various issues of the Journal and the Pro- ceedings, and Rs. 415-12-0 representing 723 fasciculi of the Bibliotheca Indica. The proceeds of the sale of the Journal and the Proceedings and of the Bibliotheca Indica during 1902 and 1903 were £17-16-6 and Rs. 53-14-0, respectively. From them we have received books and papers of the value of £23-5-5. -.
Our Continental Agent is Mr. Otto Harrassowitz, to whom we have sent publications valued at £32-6-6 and Rs. 368-14-0, of which £29-9-4 and Rs. 356-11-10 worth have been sold for us. From him we have received periodicals of the value of £1-5-6.
Library,
The total number of volumes or parts of volumes added to the Li- brary during the year was 2,426, of which 685 were purchased and 1,741 presented or received in exchange for the Society’s publications.
In remodelling the new edition of the Society’s Library Catalogue, the titles of numerous books had to be revised and as the number of slips prepared were too many to be inserted in the manuscript catalogue com- piled by Mr. H. B. Perie, it has been found necessary to cut up the whole of the manuscript catalogue in order to arrange it for press. The work is close upon completion, and the manuscripts will be sent to press very shortly.
During the year there were several Meetings of the Library Com- mittee relative to the proposed rejection of books from the Society’s li- brary. A number of books have been set aside, and the Council have de- bided to circulate a list of these among those members of Council who are not members of the Library Committee for their consideration, after which the lists will be laid before a General Meeting. Meanwhile these books are kept apart for inspection.
As an experiment, the Council have allowed the Imperial Library to borrow books from the Society for the use of its readers for three months. During the period from 28th October 1903, to 27th January 1904 only 4 works have been thus borrowed.
On the recommendation of the two Philological Secretaries, Babu Mahendra Nath Mukerjee was appointed Pandit for the Oriental Libra- ry in the place of Babu Charu Chandra Bhattacharya, resigned.

During the year 1903, Index-slips to the number of 624 were sent to the Director of the Catalogue.
With the exception of the volume of Zoology (which has not yet been published), and the second part of Botany (expected shortly), the whole of the first annual issue of the Catalogue has been distributed to subscribers; of the second annual issue the volume of Astronomy has already been distributed, and that of Bacteriology is expected showy
In addition to the subscriptions mentioned in the last year’s report the Governments of Bombay and Madras have remitted direct to Lon- don their subscriptions for sets and separ ate volumes of the first annual issue.
A sum of Rs. 1,647-11 representing the subscriptions of :—The Dewan of Mysore (for two sets), The Bombay University and the Native General Library, Bombay, The State Council, Jammu, -Kashmir (one set.), and the Government of India (Home Department) for the volumes actually supplied, and part subscriptions from the Librarian, Teper eprary has been received. :
Max Miiller Maneriat Fund.
From the sum of Rs. 716 collected by the Society in aid of the Max Miller Memorial Fund, Rs. 46-6 has been deducted for sundry expenses incurred by the Society, and the balance Rs. 669-10 has been remitted ‘to Prof. A. A. Macdonell, Secretary to the Max Miiller Memorial Fund. The thanks of the Executive Committee have been received for the amount.
Barclay Memorial Medal.
During 19038, the Council of the Society awarded the Batley Memorial Medal to Major Ronald Ross (1.M.S., retired) in recognition of his work in the investigation of the beapaiesion of Malaria by the mosquito.
Proposed Search for Persian and Arabic MSS.
The Society has made a representation to the Government of India, Home Department, showing the present position of the agency set up by Government in connection with the Society for the publication of Oriental Works and the search for and cataloguing of Oriental Manu- scripts, and further suggesting for the consideration of Government whether a systematic search for Manuscripts of Persian and Arabic works might not suitably be instituted similar to the search for Sanskrit Manuscripts which has long been conducted in Bengal by the Society on behalf of Government.

Society’s Promises and Property.
- The Society’s rooms have been fitted with electric lights and fans by Messrs. Kilburn & Co. at a total cost of Rs. 2,354, and the much needed improvement to the floor of the entrance of the Society’s pre- mises has been carried out with patent stone and marble by Messrs. Martin & Co. at a cost of Rs. 2,320.
On a report by Mr. E. B. Havell on the pictures of the Society, the Council entrusted Mr. A. HE. Caddy with the work of cleaning and var- nishing the pictures and backing them with Willesden canvas at a fee of Rs. 1,000. The work has well advanced and Mr. Caddy has received Rs. 500 on account. There are several pictures that require relining and repairs to damaged parts, and for this there will be an additional expenditure of about Rs. 800, which is under the consideration of the Council.
It has been decided to bring out from London oak gilt frames for the Society’s pictures, and Messrs. Smith and Uppard have been asked to supply them, the estimated cost being between £150 and £200.
Exchange of Publications.
During the past year the Council accepted four applications for exchange of publications, viz:—(1) from the Cambridge Philosophical Society, the Society’s Journal, Parts I-III and Proceedings for their Pro- ceedings; (2) from the Royal Colonial Institute, London, the Society’s Journal, Parts I-III and Proceedings, being exchanged for their Journal ; (3) from the Servicio Meteorologico del Estado de Mexico, the Society’s Journal, Part II, and Proceedings for their Boletin; (4) from Count F.

Publications,
There were published during the year nine numbers of the Proceed- — ings (Nos. 10 and 11 of 1902 and Nos. 1-8 of 1903) containing 143 pages of letter-press and 1 plate.
Of the Journal, Part I, three numbers were published (No. 2 and Extra No. 2 of 1902 and No. 1 of 1903) containing 219 pages of letter-press and 1 plate. The Extra No. 2 of 1902 consists of Professor E. B. Cowell’s Translation of the Three Episodes from the Old Bengali Poem “ Candi.” Indexes for 1899, 1901 and 1902 were also published. During 1902, the Council authorised the addition of a Supplement to the three parts of the Journal. NoSupplement toJournal, PartI, was published. Ithas now been decided to publish short notes on numismatic questions, with illustra- tions, as a Supplement to Journal, Part I, and the Editorship has been entrusted to Mr. H. Nelson Wright, I.C.S.
Of the Journal, Part II, three numbers were published (No. 1-3 of 1903) containing 111 pages of letter-press and 6 plates. There was also published the Index for 1902.
Of the Journal, Part III, two numbers were published (Nos. 1-2 of 1903) containing 106 pages of letter-press. There were also published the Indexes for 1894-1898, 1899-1901 and 1902. In reply to the re- presentation submitted by the Society in connection with the grant of Rs. 1,000 per year for Journal, Part III, from the Assam Administration, the Honourable the Chief Commissioner of Assam has decided to continue the annual grant to the Society for the collection of Anthropological and Ethnographical information in Assam pending further orders. The

Council have established a Depot for the registration and storage of Anthropological Photographs in India at the Society’s rooms similar to that which the British Association for the Advancement of Science has adopted in Hagland. The circular issued by the British Association, with a note on the subject, is issued as a leaflet in the Society’s Journal, Part III, No. 2 for 1903 and subsequent issues.
Proceedings.
The most interesting paper in the Proceedings is Babu Girindra Nath Dutt’s History of Hatwa Raj, tracing the descent of the present Raja from Virasena, the great conqueror of southern India before the Christian era. The family flourished under the Moghal 'rule and came under the British rule in 1765 on the assumption of the Dewani of Suba Bangla by the Hast India Company. The discovery of the Sarak caste of weavers in the district of Cuttack professing a sort of Buddhist creed throws some light on the process by which Buddhism gradually retired from the plains and is still hiding itself in retired nooks and corners of Hastern India. On this subject two papers were read: the one by Satisa Candra Aciaryya has been published. The discussion of the origin of the caste system produced some interesting papers. Pandit Satisa Candra Acaryya attempted to prove that the ancients considered foreigners to be Vratyas, z.e., fallen from the original four castes. Pandit Yogesa Candra Sastri wrote a paper on the origin of the K&p section of the Varendra class of Brahmans of Bengal which throws new light on the question, Babu Hari Mohan Simha wrote a paper on the Koch people in Northern India, Mr, O’Mally’s paper on Gaya Sradh is very interesting as showing what part demonworship still plays in Hindu rituals. The Ordons in Chota Nagpur are an interesting non-Aryan people, and their religion and superstition have been made the subject of an interesting paper by Rev. F. Hahn. He gives the number of totemistic septs and the taboo attached to each among this people.
Babu Monmohan Chakravati’s paper on the Hastern Ganga Kings gives a list of fourteen kings from Choda Ganga, Saka 998, to Nrisimha Deva IV of Orissa, Saka 1346. M. M. Haraprasad Sastri’s paper identifies Ramgarh in the Sarguja State with the Rama Giri hill, the starting point of the cloud in Kalidasa’s Meghadita, and if his inter- pretation of the Asoka character inscriptions there be correct, it would be interesting to note that even secular subjects formed the objects of these inscriptions.
Journal, Part I,
Three numbers have been published during the last year, viz.,
No. 2 of Vol. UXXI, No. 1 of Vol. UXXII, and Extra No. 2 of
16 Annual Report. [Fxr.
Vol. LXXI, No. 2 of the Journal for 1903 is almost ready for issue.
The extra number is devoted to translations of extracts from the Bengali poem Candi, by our late lamented Honorary Member, Professor H. B. Cowell of Cambridge. The poem was composed by Mukunda Ram Cakravarti, who lived during the latter half of the sixteenth and the early part of the seventeenth century, and seems to have passed his life in the districts of Burdwan and Midnapur, It is a picture of Ben- gali village life as it actually existed in the sixteenth century, before any European influences had begun to affect the national character, and it is this vivid realism which gives such a permanent value to the des- eriptions. .
The papers published in the other numbers of Journal Part I mostly deal with historical and linguistic matters. First of all, there is a valuable account by Professor C. Bendall of the history of Nepal and surrounding kingdoms from 1000-1600 A.D. It is based on materials collected by Professor Bendall during his last journey to Nepal, which he undertook in the cold weather of 1898-99, in the company of our Joint Philological Secretary, Mahamahopadhyaya Hara Prasad Shastri, and it will be reprinted as an introduction to the joint report on their dis- coveries, to which we may look forward at an early date. Professor Ben- dall collected a great number of colophons of MSS. furnishing historical dates, and by the help of these as well as by the native chronicles in the Maharaja’s library, especially a palm-leaf MS. of a Vamaavali he put together a very detailed record of the chronology of the kings, that ruled over Nepal and adjacent countries from 1000 to 1600 A. D. Babu Monmohan Chakravartti has done the same for the Hastern Ganga kings of Kalinga, who ruled over Orissa from the 12th century A.D. His materials generally consist in dated temple-inscriptions, of which many are to be found in Orissa as well as in the country south of it, now included in the Madras Presidency. The history of Western Bun- , delkhand has been described in an article by Mr. C. A. Silberrad, L.C.S. It gives an English translation of a modern vernacular history, written by Diwan Bijhe Bahadur Mazbut Singh, which is valuable on account of the many local traditions to which it refers.
As regards Muhammadan History in India, Mr. W. Irvine, late of the Civil Service, has given us a further contribution on the Later . Mughuls, dealing with the events during Farrukhsiyar’s reign from March, 1713, to April 21st, 1716; while Dr. Ross has published an.ac- count of Faqir Khair-ud-din Muhammad, the historian of Shah ’Alam.
The history of the Licchavis of Vaisali forms the subject of an article by Pandit Satisa Candra Vidyabhtisana. The author’s theory
PAK L
_ 1904.) Annual Report. 17
that the Licchavis were foreigners, coming from Nisibis, is, to say the least, startling. The same author also contributed a paper on the Mixed Castes, mentioned in the Sanskrit Law Books, in which he discussed the Ethnological meaning and probable derivation of all those caste names. (
Chirand, a place of archeological interest in the district of Saran, which Dr. Hoey recently tried to identify with Vaisali, has been des- cribed in a note by Babu Nundo Lal Dey. Mr. Edward O’Brien, De- puty Commissioner of Kangra, contributed a grammar of the modern vernacular of the Kangra valley, with a glossary of words peculiar to that dialect,
Finally, as regards Tibet, we have ready for immediate issue two articles by Mr. HE. H.C. Walsh, 1.0.8. One deals with the Tibetan Dictionary by Rai Sarat Chandra Das Bahadur. The value of the work, as a Dictionary of the literary language, according to Mr. Walsh is of a high standard, but it misses at the same time the necessary completeness as regards the colloquial language, and he suggests the compilation of a purely colloquial Dictionary. ‘The other article gives an interesting list of Tibetan books, collected by a Japanese Buddhist scholar in Tibet.
Journal, Part IT.
During the last year three numbers of Part II of the Journal have been issued containing a number of interesting papers. The Zoological side has been well represented by papers on the Aleurodidae, a family of insects closely allied to the scale insects and very common in India, by Mr. H. W. Peal, illustrated by five plates each containing numerous figures, together with two other shorter papers by the same author. The papers of interest by Mr. E. P. Stebbing illustrated by a plate relate to a beetle (Thanasimus) which appears to be an active agent in des- troying certain insects which damage forest trees, and on a parasitic insect of the spruce firs, while Captain H. J. Walton contributes a note on the occurrence of rare birds near Calcutta.
The botanica: papers include a description of some new Scrophu- larine by Major D. Prain. Among the papers on general subjects is an interesting communication on two rain-bursts in Bengal by Mr. C. Little, and one on an ancient Kastern Medicine by Mr. D. Hooper, while Dr. P. C. Ray contributes two articles on some mercury salts.
Journal, Part III.
Two numbers of this Part were issued during the year, comprising 106 pages. There were nine separate papers, and with each number were issued « Supplement. This last is an innovation suggested by
18 Annual Report. [Fers.
Mr. Gait; it has proved successful and a number of interesting notes were received from various quarters.
Among the papers published we may mention one on the Gaya Craddha and Gaydwals, by Mr. L. 8S. 8. O’Malley. The Gaya Graddha is a special form of orthodox Hinduism practiced in Gaya by a priestly caste, whose origin it is difficult to trace, called the Gayawals. These priests though almost entirely illiterate claim a very high position among Brahmanas and are treated with great respect and reverence. Their numbers are rapidly dwindling, and to-day there remain less than _ 300 pure Gayawals. Another paper was contributed by the Rev. F. Hahn on the Religious Superstitions of the Orads, which contains - curious details of spirit worship and exorcism.
Mr. D. Sunder, Commissioner in the Sundarbans, published a paper on the charms and exorcism which are considered efficacious in that district for the dispersion and destruction of noxious animals. The wood-cutters who frequent the Sundarbans forests between the month of October and May never proceed to the jungle, we are told, without their faqir, who is supposed to possess the power to drive away the tigers. Mr. Sunder gives a translation of the various incantations employed by these faqirs.
Among the contributors of Notes to the Supplement were Major P. R. T. Gurdon; Mr. H. F. Howard, Mr. Gait, Mr. C. T. Stevenson- Moore, Babu Harimohana Simha and others.
Coins.
Thirty-eight coins were presented to the Society by the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, the Government of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, and by Babu Rampada Chatterji, a Sub-Deputy Col- lector at Kishenganj, Purnea. Of these 5 are gold, 31 silver, and 2 copper coins. Among the gold coins there are two of Egyptian Kings, of A.D., 1439 and 1447, found at Aden—one of the Mamlik Sultans, found in the District of Ahmadabad, and apadma-tanka. The silver coins belong to the Moghul Emperors. One is a coin struck by the Kast India Company in the name of Shahjahan II, at Bombay (Mumbai), and there are also several rupees of the Company from the Benares Mint, The copper coins belong to Ahmad Shah I, of Guzerat, and to Ahmad Shah II of the Bahmani Dynasty.
With reference to the proposed amalgamation of the two collections of coins now held separately by the Indian Museum and the Asiatic Society of Bengal, the Council resolved not to sell the Society’s collec- tion of old coins but to lend to the Trustees of the Indian Museum so many of the Society’s coins as they may require for an indefinite period
1904, | Annual Report. 19
to be utilized with the collection of old coins at the Museum, and the coins lent should be permanently marked for future identification with the letters A.S.B. with which other objects lent by the Society have been marked so as to be distinguishable, and when that has been done the coins should be merged for purposes of classification and exhibition with the Museum coins. Bibliotheca Indica.
The Bibliotheca publication showed, during the year under review rather unusual activity. Thirty-five fasciculi were published, of which three were in the Arabic-Persian series, thirty-two in Sanskrit and none in Tibetan series. Twenty-three works were under publi- cation. Of the thirty-two Sanskrit fasciculi, three related to Sanskrit erammar, five to Hindu Philosophy, three to the Vedas, one to the Kalpasitras, fifteen to the Sanskrit law and ritual, one to Purana, two to Buddhist Philosophy and two to Jaina Sanskrit. The three fasciculi in the Arabic Persian series are all English translations of historical works in Persian. Of the thirty-two Sanskrit fasciculi three only are English translations, one of a Purana and two of a very difficult philosophical work, the rest, editions of Sanskrit works.
The cost of printing those fasciculi amounted to Rs. 4,416-10-0. The editing fees amounted to Rs. 4,748-8-0, giving an average of Rs. 262-0-0 per fasiciculus. Seven new works were undertaken during the course of the year.
1-2. The Danakriya Kaumudi Fase 1-2and Sraddhakriya Kaumudi Fasc 1-3 are really continuations of the Varga Kriya Kaumudi or simply Kriya kaumudi by the great complier of Smrti in Western Bengal named Govindénanda Kavikankanaciryya, who flourished by the middle of the sixteenth century and preceded Raghunandana by a generation. The work of editing has been entrusted to a young Smrti scholar of Bhatpara, Pandit Kamala Krsna Kavyatirtha who seems to know his work well.
3. Vidhana Parijata is a digest of civil and religions duties ac- cording to the Hindu Sastras, It was complied in 1625 a.p. by Ananta Bhatta, son of Naga Bhatta and grandson of Jahnu Bhatta at Benares The family professed the Kauva Sakha of the White Yayur Veda. It has five chapters called Stavakas dealing with Sraddhba-Vyavathara and Prayascitta. The publication of the work has been entrusted to Pandit Taraprasanna Vidyaratna, one of the Professors of Sanskrit grammar in the Sanskrit College, Calcutta.
4, Sataidisani is a work by Venkatanatha, the founder of the Y mark section of the Ramanuja sect in Southern India. It purports to find one hundred objections to Sankara’s nondual theory, It has a
20 Annual Report. [ Fes.
‘commentary by Ramanuja Dasa, a disciple of Badhtila Srinivasa. It is the standard work of a very large and influential section of the Hindus in Madras. Pandit.Sesaédri Ayer, the late personal assistant to the Director of Public Instruction, Madras, was entrusted with the edition of the Text with the Commentary. On his death, however, the editorship was transferred to the then Hon’ble P. Ananda Carlu, Visarada, Ray Babadur, member of the Imperial Council for Madras. One fasciculus only of this work came out during the year under review but a good many sheets have since then been printed.
5. Tattvarthadhigamasttra is a Jaina work professing to be a part of the teachings of Bardhamina, the founder of the sect. It was put in the sutra form by the great Jaina teacher Umasvati-vacaka with acommentary of hisown. Um4svati is revered both by the Svetam- baras and Digambaras and is said to have flourished before the Christian era. The edition of the work has been entrusted to a young Jaina scholar of Ahmedabad, Mody Kegavalal Premcand, a B.A. of the Bombay University. His work has been placed under the supervision of Professor Dr. Hermann Jacobi of the University of Bonn.
6. Nityacarapradipa by Narasimha Vajapeyi is to be differentiated from the Nityacarapaddhati by Vidyakara Vajapeyi which has just been finished in this series. One appears to bea supplement to the other, and both these form the standard compilation in Orissa on Smrti. The edition has been entrusted to Pandit Vinoda Vihari Kavyatirtha who has just completed the other work.
7. Tantravartika in Prose isa commentary on the Savarabhasya on the Mimamsa Sitras from chapter J, pada IT, to chapter ITI, padail V, by Kumarila Bhatta, the great predecessor of Sankara, and the great reor- ganiser of modern Brahmanic society throughout India. He flourished in the beginning of the eighth century, and commented on the Savarabhasya. The first part of his commentary, 2.e., on Chapter I, pada I, is written in verse and is called Sloka-Vartika. The second part in prose up to Chapter JII, pada IV, is called the Tantra-Vartika. The commentary on the rest is called the Tuptika. Babu Gayganath Jha, Professor of Sanskrit in the Muir Central College, Allahabad, was entrusted with the English translation of the first part, the Sloka-Vartika, after making a creditable advance in that work, he applied for permission to translate the Tantra-Vartika which was gladly accorded. He has bought out one Fasciculus of the second work.
The descriptive catalogue of the works that have come to a close.
(1) Varsa Kriyé Kaumudi by Govindananda Kavikankanacaryya came to a close during the year under review. This is the first volume
1904. ] Annual Report. 21
of the series by the author, the other volumes are in the course of publi- cation. The editor; Kamala Krsna Kavyatirtha, has given a short preface discussing the date of the author and describing the MSS col- lected. His index giving the works consulted by the author is specially valuable.
(2) Nityacdra Paddhati, by Vidyakar Vajapeyi, composed in the fourteenth century in Orissa under the patronage of King Narasimha, was finished in seven fasciculi. Pandit Vinoda Vihari Kavya Tirtha, the discoverer of the work, has edited it with care and has given a preface discussing the date of the author and circumstances under which he wrote. The indices appended are valuable.
(3) Trikanda Mandanam or Apastamba-sitra-dhvanitartha-karika by Bhaskara Misra, called Trikanda Mandana, son of Kumara Svami, who boasts of being a mace and an axe to the opponents in disputation, pur- ports to be the versified essence of the 10th Pragna of the Apastamba Srauta Sitras of the Black Yayurveda, treating of Soma Yaga. The editor, M. M. Candra Kanta Tarkdlankara, has written a very meagre preface. He has not gone beyond his MSS. in editing this work.
(4) Apastamba Srauta Sitra belonging to the Black Yayur Veda came to a close under the distinguished editorship of Prof. Dr. Richard Garbe of Tiibingen in seventeen Fasciculi. The first twelve fasciculi were accompanied with a commentary by Varadutta Suta Anarttiya, but the other fasciculi had no commentary. The editor has written an excellent preface discussing the peculiarities of language and grammar of: Apastamba, on the unity of the Sitra collection of the Apastamba School ; on the. position of these Siitras in the ritual literature and topics of that sort. Huis index is extremely valuable.
Search for Sanskrit MSS.
M .M. Hara Prasad Sastri was in charge of this department through- out the year. He took two trips to Benares, and his travelling Pandits were touring in Orissa and in Western Bengal; nearly three hundred MSS. have been collected, of which about hundred acquired at Benares contained many interesting, and curious works. Many new digests of Hindu law and ritual have been brought to light. During the last three months the M. M. and his Pandits were engaged in preparing an alphabetical list of all the MSS. in the Asiatic Society’s rooms belonging to the Society and to Government. This list will be a valuable guide in acquiring new MSS in the future.
The Report having been read and some copies having been distri- buted, the Chairman invited the Meeting to consider it at their leisure.
22 . Annual Address. [F'res.
The Chairman announced that the Elliott Prize for Scientific Re- search for the year 1903 would not be awarded, as the essay received in competition was not of sufficient merit to justify the award of the Prize.
Mr. H. H. Risley, Vice-President, then addressed the Meeting.
ANNUAL ADDRESS, 1904.
GENTLEMEN,
It is due to a series of accidents that I am called upon to take the chair to-night. The President, Mr. Bolton, is on leave in England and we, being old fashioned people and cherishing the traditions of a century ago, have not as yet adopted the relatively modern practice of making an officiating appointment in every casual vacancy. The two senior Vice-Presidents are also absent—a fact which only came to my notice a few days ago. Consequently it has been impossible for me to prepare - an address reviewing the work of the Society, or the progress of any of the forms of research with which it deals, on the exhaustive scale achiev- ed by Dr. Hoernle or even in the more modest fashion attempted by myself on a former occasion. I shall therefore merely call attention to some points of interest in the papers noticed in the report and shall then say a few words on the general question of the present position of the Society, and the causes which affect its influence and the character of its work. bf
The papers which interest me most are Mr. O’ Malley’s on Gaya and the Gayawals, and Dr. Hahn’s on the Oraons. Both seem to support the position which I have taken up in the Census Report now being published, that the beginning of Animism and possibly of all religion are to be found in the recognition of indefinite impersonal powers, which are approached not by prayer but by magic, and that the personal element in religion is a later development. The legends cited by Mr. O’Malley are curious, but they are obviously of comparatively recent date, and they belong to the familiar class of myths that are evolved in the attempt to account for some ritual or usage that does not fit into the accepted
system of religion. I suspect that the Gaya ritual is a survival of.
animistic observances older than either Buddhism or Hinduism, and adopted by the latter in that pleasingly Catholic spirit which is common toitand to the paganism of the Greeks and Romans. I cannot attempt to examine the question at length now, but I venture to think that it de- serves further enquiry, and that a minute investigation of the Gaya ritual undertaken on the spot would disclose survivals pointing to its real origin. Thereis reason to believe that the Gaya district was once occupied by
1904. ] Annual Address. 23
the Munda Kols, and it seems possible that the hills near the town were worshipped by them as Marang Buru, and that the present worship may be a Hinduised version of some animistic ritual practised by the Mundas. The Asuras, I may add, figure very prominently in Munda religious traditions. An excellent account of the myths on the subject was given some years ago in the Zeitschrift fiir Hthnologie by Herr Jel- linghaus, who was then a missionary in Ranchi.
Mr. Hahn refers to this legend in his paper on the Oraons. It is curious to read that when an Oraon has failed by magic to get rid of a disease caused by the impersonal powers which Mr. Hahn describes as evil spirits, he turns in prayer to Dherme the sun and says, ‘“‘ Now the case rests with thee.” You will observe that he tries magic first and resorts to religion later on when his magic has failed him. That accord- ing to one school of thinkers is the normal course of evolution. The Oraons, like the Athenians, have an unknown God, but they build no altar to him. He haunts certain fields which must be kept fallow, though cattle may graze on them. Probably these are not conspicuous for fertility. Their medical practice is more simple than appetizing. It consists in sucking the navel of the patient and producing therefrom a worm which is the cause of the disease. The imagination of the sick man does the rest—an ancient principle which is now being revived on a large scale in America under a new name.
On Professor Bendall and Mr, Irvine’s papers I have nothing to add to the notice in the report. Mr. Irvine shows incidentally how uncer- tain life was in the entourage of the Mughal Emperor who was a contem- porary of Queen Anne, and what remarkably unpleasant methods were adopted in dealing with unpopular courtiers,
I now turn to the large question of the position and prospects of this Society. We all know that it is not the power that it was in its earlier days. Weall know that people say that our meetings are dreary, that our journal appears at long and uncertain intervals, that its pages are devoid of all human or other interest. Well, that may be so; people must be presumed to know what interests them, and I should be the last person to call in question anything so infallible as popular opinion, But these things rather depend on the point of view, and the popular point of view is not invariably the most instructive one. I cannot help remembering how at a meeting of that august body, the British Associa- tion, a room was filled to overflowing to see a famous Polar explorer exhibit the rational dress—a pair of fur trousers—worn by the Eskimo ladies and to hear him descant in the most grotesque English imaginable on their undeniably capacious dimensions. For the scientific aspects of the explorer’s work this cultured audience cared not a jot, and when the

first authority of the day on Polar geography got up to criticise some of the lecturer’s conclusions on matters less attractive than female attire he was received with manifest signs of boredom and disapproval.
Yet when we have said, ‘‘Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo,” is that quite the last word? I hardly think so, and that is why I have taken our position as a Society for the subject of this brief address. We shall all admit, when we have relieved our minds bya gibe at the Philistine in the street, that the authority and influence of the Society are not what they were a century ago. We do not do so much, and what we do does not attract so much general attention as it did. Those are the facts, there is no disputing them, but it seems worth while to make an attempt to discover their causes.
The standard explanation, a stock excuse for many things in India, is want of leisure. LHvery one is said tobe too busy. The demands of official work, of business, of society are heavier than they were in the old days. People had time then to read and to think; they have no time now. That line of apology I would sweep aside as emphatically as His Excellency the Patron did five years ago, at the first meeting of the Society which he honoured with his presence. As crucial illustra- tions of its futility, I would appeal not only to the example of the Patron himself, who manages to find time for everything, but to the achievement of one of our Vice-Presidents, Mr. Pargiter, who has recently completed a critical edition and translation of the Markandeya Purana. Now if the absorbing labours of a Judge of the High Court present no barrier to his engaging in the most laborious form of lin- guistic research, how can the plea of overwork be put forward on behalf of the lighter duties—the mere distractions—of other branches of the public service, or of mercantile pursuits P
There is another stock apology which, like the former, is used in a loose general way to account for anything in India that is thought for the moment to be out of joint. We are told that since the days of rail- ways aud steamers Englishmen in India have become mere birds of pas- sage, that they go to Europe so often that they lose their interest in the Kast, and get out of touch with the people and their ways. Consequently, so the argument runs, they no longer care to write papers for the Asiatic Society; its journal languishes and its meetings have become dull. The conclusion may or may not be true: the premise is, in my opinion, if not absolutely false, at any rate far too widely stated. There has never been a time when interest in India and in the East generally has been so keen aud so widely diffused in Hurope as it is at the present day. You see it in every branch of the subject with which this society deals, and it has been and will continue to be enormously quickened by the great political

movement which is now in progress—the scramble for possessions, trade interests and points d’ appui in Asia. It is indeed hardly a paradox to say that if any one in this country is in want of a stimulus in the parti- cular branch of study in which he is engaged, he will best find it ina visit to Europe and in contact with fellow-workers there. Any one ofa dozen Societies will give him a cordial reception, and their enthusiasm revive his flagging energies. He will realise that the study of Indian subjects holds a higher place than it has ever done, that it is no longer treated as a thing apart which can be ignored with impunity, but that it enters into the solution of problems which a generation ago no one would have dreamed of approaching from the Indian point of view. Nor do I admit that the Huropeans at work in India at the present day know less about the country and the people than their predecessors of a century ago. Ofthe country as a whole they know infinitely more because they have seen more, because trains and steamers move faster than boats and palanquins. Of the people also they can know more if they choose to take the trouble, for they have a better start. A good deal has been done of recent years by Mr. Crooke and others to arrange and systematise the vast mass of ethnographic information that is available. The ethnographic survey will add greatly to our stock of knowledge, and I am glad to be able to inform the society that for Assam the Hon. Mr. Fuller has modified the original scheme on lines which will give us a series of illustrated monographs on the tribes of that interesting province. In two or three years’ time I hope that any one in any Province who de- sires to understand the structure and usages of Indian Society will find adequate guidance through the preliminary stages of the subject. It will rest with him to break new ground and to extend by research the information that has been placed at his disposal. For ignorance at any rate there will no longer be any excuse, and there will be the basis for that higher form of knowledge which consist in understanding the ways of alien races and appreciating their point of view.
For the real causes of the diminished influence of the Society we must look back to the history of its own growth and development. When our first President, Sir William Jones, gave to the world, as Sir Henry Maine admirably put it, ‘ the modern science of Philology and the modern theory of Race,” the Asiatic Society of Bengal had a prac- tical monopoly of the new learning. The Calcutta scholars of that day, Jones, Colebrooke, Wilkins and Wilson, all of them active members of
this Society, were the pioneers of the Sanskrit Renaissance as the Greek scholars of the 15th Century were of the revival of learning in Europe. But Caleutta was not long to remain the centre of Sanskrit studies. When the German Universities entered the field guided by Humboldt

and Wolff, and controlled by a Government too wise to leave the great national interest of higher education to the chances of private enter- prise, the combination of industry and organization was bound to make itself felt. New centres of authority arose, and we now look to Germany for the latest light in the matter of Oriental Scholarship. One of the features of their method was the specialization of research. Some years ago when Professor Garbe visited India, I remember asking him some question about a passage in Manu. He explained the point, but added that the law books were not in his line and that for a really authoritative interpretation one should consult Bihler or Jolly. When people work on these lines can we wonder that our Society has been rather left behind in the domain of scholarship ?
In the region of science, while the result has been the same, it has come about in rather a different way. When the Founder of the Asiatic Society defined the range of its inquiries as extending to whatever is performed by man or produced by nature, his words corresponded to the facts.. We were then the sole organ of research in Asia. Whatever was done in Geology, Meteorology, Zoology, Botany was done at the instance of and through the agency of this Society, and the results of these researches were published in this Journal. Now all these branches of scientific activity have grown and developed on lines of theirown. They have blossomed forth into separate departments, and they publish their own memoirs. This is the natural course of evolution. The Society has multiplied by fission, like the “ philoprogenitive sponge” in Professor Daubeny’s witty verses, and has given birth at successive epochs to the Geological Survey, the Meteorological Department, the Botanic Survey the Indian Museum and the Linguistic Survey—a flourishing family of which it may well be proud. Looking back at these procreative efforts, can we be surprised that the parent organism is if not exhausted at least somewhat attenuated, and that in comparison with the portly volumes which its descendants produce (Dr. Grierson’s Survey occupies 16 quarto volumes) its own publications should have shrunk to rather slender dimensions ?
What then is there left for us todo? Wecannot—I would frankly admit the fact—aspire to rival the Germans in the matter of scholarship, at any rate not at present. It may be that my friends Dr. Ross and Hara Prasad Sastri will succeed in creating traditions of critical ac- curacy on the lines recognised as sound in Europe and will train up a generation of Joneses, Colebrookes and Wilsons. But it will take a long _ time, for modern scholarship is a hard mistress to serve, and demands an intellectual equipment, a range of knowledge, and a standard of accuracy far beyond the reach of the typical Maulyi or Pandit. Until that ideal
1904. ] Annual Address. 27
has been realised we must content ourselves with the useful if inconspi- cuous work that we do now—collecting manuscripts and publishing texts, furnishing the material which European scholars will work up. In this matter we have the great advantage of being on the spot, and any one who will read Pandit Hara Prasad Sastri’s report on his operations will see what a large quantity of valuable manuscripts have been saved from destruction or oblivion by his exertions and by the patient enquiries of his travelling subordinates. We hope that the Government will now place us in a position to extend this system to Arabic and Persian Manuscripts, The extension has been suggested and is more than justi- fied by Dr. Ross’s discovery in the library of the Calcutta Madrassa of an autograph manuscript history of Gujarat and of the earlier Moghals, which throws a new light upon an important period of Indian history. Where the materials are so scanty, and their value is so often vitiated by the position or predilections of the writer, the search for fresh sources» of information is a duty which this Society can most properly under- take.
Another line of possible activity is antiquarian research in which the man on the spot has an obvious advantage over the most laborious student working ata distance. We all of us know how much Mr. Wilson has done to elucidate the abscure and complicated problem of the Topography of Old Fort William and the Black Hole. He has now crowned his labour by producing a scale model of the old Fort which will, I believe, be exhibited next month in the Indian Museum. The model is a work of art in itself, and any one who chooses to study it can go to the actual sites, identify, with the help of the tablets erected under His Excellency the Viceroy’s orders, the few portions of the ori- ginal buildings that survive, and picture to himself exactly what the old Fort was like, and how it came to pass that 146 people were driven, without knowing where they were going, into the stifling cell, which Holwell describes as ‘‘a cube of 18 feet.”
In connexion with the Fort and the Black Hole Mr. Wilson has not left much for any one who follows in his fotsteps. But there are many localities in and around Calcutta which will repay similar exertions. Take for example the names of the Calcutta streets. I hear that all the Indian names are about to be recast on the Hunterian System, and that the street lamps will soon be embellished with some remarkable trans- formations of well-known names. Before this break is made with the past I trust some learned member of the Society will go into the ques- tion and tell us how the names themselves arose. A great deal of the early history of Calcutta is wrapped up in them and in name such ag Kolutola,” which seems to record an ancient settlement of oil-pressers,
28 General Meeting for February, 1904. [ Fee.
European and Armenian names demand investigation for the same rea- son. For all I know some one may have done this already; but the results are hidden away in forgotten papers of this Society and are not readily accessible. We wantin fact some one to do for Calcutta in a systematic fashion what Sir Walter Besant did for London—to tell the story of its growth and development. If the facts are once cleared up you will find that plenty of romance goes with them.
I said above, and I fancy that no one will disagree with me, that in matters of scholarship the centre of authority has now been shifted to Europe. But mere scholarship is not every thing. It is only a means to the higher end of reconstructing the life of the past. In working towards this end students of the Hast have the great advan- tage that the present 7s the past or at any rate is so full of survivals of the past that it forms the only instructive commentary on the written record. Here it seems to me is the most promising field for the future researches of our Society. Let us admit that we are no longer supreme in scholarship, but let us endeavour to ascertain and analyse the actual facts of the present day—the customs, beliefs, superstitions and ritual that have descended without material alteration from very remote times. This may enable us to supplement and often to correct the conclusions of European scholars, to add colour to their descriptions, to reconstruct life in India as it was in the time of Buddha or perhaps even before Buddha and, as I ventured to suggest here five years ago, to elucidate not only Indian literature, but also those features in the life of the Greeks and Romans, which form part of the common heritage of the Aryans. If we attempt this, however, imperfectly we shall find for our selves ample and attractive occupation and we shall be doing useful work which no one else can do so well.

Professor Heinrich Kern, born in Java in 1833, began his career as a scholar with contributions to the great Sanskrit Dictionary of Bohtlingk and Roth: from 1863-65 he was Sanskrit Professor in the college at Benares, and from the latter date he has been professor of Sanskrit in

Leyden. His connection with Java doubtless has led him to devote him- self to ancient Javanese, and to Buddhism, in which subjects he is regarded as one of the chief living authorities. His workin Sanskrit has been most copious, and includes the edition of a text for the Bibliotheca Indica, and a translation of the same made for the Royal Asiatic Society. :
J. MACFARLANE,
Dr. Ramkrishna Gopal Bhandarkar, M.A., first distinguished him- self by literary and archeological controversies with distinguished European scholars, and researches in the Geography of Panini and of Alexander’s invasion. He was one of the principal contributors to the Indian Antiquary from its foundation in 1873. His history of Deccan is a masterpiece of accurate scholarship, and his fame depends chiefly on the volumes, six in number, which he has written in connection with the search of Sanskrit manuscripts in India, which are regarded as models of descriptive catalogues.
He joined the Education Service shortly after he left college and retired eleven years ago. Shortly after he was made the Vice-Chancel- lor of the Bombay University, and is at the present moment a member of the Imperial Legislative Council of India, and an honorary member
of numerous Oriental Societies. HARAPRASHAD SHASTRI.
Dr. M. J. DeGoeje-—Professor of Arabic in Leyden, Holland. Has done most valuable work in editing the great historical and geogra- phical works of Arabic writers : notably his editions of Tabari’s Chroni- cle and of Edrisi.
Dr. Ignaz Goldziher.—Professor of Semitic Philosophy, » Buda Pesth. Perhaps the first authority in Hurope on Muhammedan Law, Theology and Tradition. He is the author of many valuable works dealing with these subjects. Among them may be mentioned his ‘“ His- tory of philological learning among the Arabs” and his “ Mohammedan Studies.”
Sir Charles Lyall, K.C.S.1., etc., ete.—Has a Huropean reputation for his knowledge of ancient Arabic poetry. He has published a text and commentary of the Muallaqat and some English translations from Arabic poetry. He is engaged on an important edition of the Mufaddaliyyat.

liam Ramsay’s earlier researches were in the domain of organic chemistry. Later on he published a series of papers on Molecular Volumes, on the critical state and properties of liquids, and on molecular energy and the expansion of rarified gases, which were pub- lished in the year 1893. But the researches which secured for Sir William Ramsay world-wide reputation, are those which he carried on in conjunction with Lord Rayleigh, relating to the properties of argon, to be followed immediately after by the discovery of helium. The most recent of his researches treats of radio-activity, and, the production of helium from radium; these were communicated to the Royal Society in July last.
Sir William Ramsay is already a Foreign or Honorary Member of various Scientific Societies, among which may be mentioned, the French Academie des Sciences, the Royal Irish Academy, the Academies of Berlin and Turin, and the Philosophical Societies of Geneva and

The following paper was read :-— The Line at Infinity— By InpuBpHusHaN Braumacuari, M.A, Com-
municated by Mr. C. Lirtie. (Abstract. )
This paper contains a systematic and exhaustive investigation of the properties of what is known to Mathematicians as the Line at Infinity or Line Infinity. The position of any line ona plane may be completely determined, if we know the intercepts which this line makes upon two given intersecting lines which may be taken as the axes of co- ordinates. Now, if these intercepts become infinite in length, the line itself will move off to infinity. In other words, if the equation of the
line situated within a finite region of the plane be —4+2=1, where a a
and b are the intercepts, the equation of the line at infinity will be the apparently paradoxical form 1=0 or constant=0. The two fundamental properties of this imaginary line are, first, every point on this line is at infinity, and secondly, that every point at infinity hes on it, or in other words this line is the complete point representative of infinity. Conse- quently, the idea of direction must not be associated with this line. Moreover, it is at the same distance from all ordinary points, because every point of it is.at an infinite distance. One of the most familiar instances of the appearance of the line at infinity is in the investigation of the properties of circles, namely it is the imaginary chord of inter- section of all concentric circles. Another instance of its appearance is as the pole of the centre of a conic; in other words, it isthe line joining the points of contact of the asymptotes of a hyperbola with the curve. To put the matter in another way, although the asymptote is a tangent whose point of contact is at infinity, it 1s itself not the line at infinity because it does not lie entirely at infinity.
The present paper contains a detailed examination of the proper- ties of this line, and shows how its introduction enables us to obtain the solutions of various problems connected with real lines and -conics. The paper also contains applications of the properties of this line in connection with the theories of reciprocation and projection.

The General Secretary reported the death of Dr. Mahendralal Sircar, an Ordinary Member of the Society.
At the request of the Council, the Hon. Dr. Asutosh Mukhopa- dhyaya contributed the following obituary notice of Dr. Mahendralal Sircar :— .
The Society has lost by the death of Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar, C.I.E.; one of its oldest members, Dr. Sircar was born on the 2nd November, 1833 in Paikpara, near Howrah. After a distinguished scholastic career, in the Hare School and the Hindu College, he joined the Calcutta Medical College in 1854, where his career was exceptionally brilliant. In 1863, he was admitted to the degree of Doctorin Medicine. Itis not necessary to refer in detail to his conversion to the Homeopathic faith and his -consequent ostracism from orthodox Medical Society. He remained a staunch Homeopath to the end of his days and published numerous
1904. | Obituary notice of Dr. Mahendralal Sircar. 35
writings in the Calcutta Journal of Medicine which he started in January 1868, and continued to edit for thirty-six years. In 1869, Dr. Sircar published a paper on the desirability of a national institution for the cultivation of the Physical Sciences by the natives of India, and it was through his unceasing efforts that the Indian Association for the culti- vation of Science was founded six years later at a time when even Government Institutions hardly made adequate provision for the practical teaching of Science. Dr. Sircar continued to be the Secretary of the Institution till the day of his death, and so long as health per- mitted, systematically delivered courses of lectures there. Dr. Sircar was appointed a Fellow of the Calcutta University in 1870, and was for many years an active member of the Senate, directing his efforts mainly to secure for the experimental sciences a proper recognition amongst the studies of the University. He was for ten years a member of the Syndicate, for four years President of the Faculty of Arts and acted on several occasions as an examiner in scientific subjects for the M.A. and M.D. Examinations. In 1898 the University conferred on him the Honorary Degree of Doctor in Law, in recognition of his services to the cause of scientific education... He was made a C.I.H. in 1883, was appointed Sheriff of Caleutta in 1887, and was nominated by Government a member of the Bengal Legislative Council on four successive occasions, He wasa Justice of the Peace and Presidency Magistrate from 1877, and for many years took an active part as a Municipal Commissioner in the Corporation of Calcutta. He maintained for many years a Chari- table Homeopathic Dispensary, where he gave advice and medicine © free to all classes and creeds; and more than ten years ago he founded a Leper Asylum at Deoghur.
He joined the Society in Aprill867, served on the Council for eleven years between 1885 and 1901, and at the time of his death, was one of the Trustees of the Indian Museum on behalf of the Society.
The General Secretary reported the presentation of one coin from the Government of United Provinces of Agra and Oudh.
Pandit Yogesa Chandra Sastree exhibited an image of Manju Nath brought from Lhasa (Tibet), and also copper-plate grants from Rajputa- na and Guzarat.
This image of Manju Nath, otherwise called’ Manju Deva or Manju Sree, has been handed over to me by one of my Huropean friends who secured it through a Lama from Lhasa in Tibet. It is a Buddhist deity generally worshipped by the Newars of Nepal.
It is stated in the 7th chapter of the Brihat Swayambhupuran that a sage named Manjusree came from China to the Swayambhu-
36 Exhibitions. [ Marca, kshetra in Nepal and attained salvation there. He was afterwards worshipped as a god by several trading people who were Bonddhas- A full account of Manju Nath can be found in the book mentioned above, an Ms. copy of which exists in the Library of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.
On the pedestal of this image, it is inscribed that one Punabanta, who was a Tuladhar by caste and an inhabitant of Fzeve qrerarar died at Lhasa. His living wife, named deat, founded this image of Manju Nath in her own and husband’s name on the 15th Phalgoon of the 943 Nepali era (1.e., in February, 1823 A.D.).
The image has got three heads and six hands. In two of three right hands there are—a sword, an arrow, while the third is offering aboon. In the three left hands there are—a book in the first, a bow in the second, and in the third the foot stalk of a lotus flower which is broken.
There is a female figure on the left side of the lap of this image of Manju Nath which can be presumed to be that of his wife. The two figures sitting on the pedestal in a worshipping position are females. Their names guafa and earafa (virtuous mind and merciful mind).
The language of the inscription is a mixture of Sanskrit and Newari. The latter is a dialect of the hill tribes of Nepal and entirely unconnected with the former. The alphabets are also not purely Devanagri nor Newari but a mixture of the both.
The image, it seems to me, is made of gilt brass. The gilding is of a high order and is a proof of the antiquity of the image.
My same European friend gave me both of these copper-plate grants.
The language of the inscription in plate No. 1 is a mixture of Sanskrit and Marwari, and the characters are mostly Devanagri and occasionally Marwari. The inscription is deeply incised, and legible. Its size is 83 inches by 7 inches,
The inscription is to the effect that Kubar Durjana Singhajee, son of Kubar Guman Singhajee and grandson of Maharao Siva Singhajee of Sirohi granted a village named (perhaps) fyyare to the shrine of <iugigat i.c., Tea for the purpose of establishing a vandara (inn) in connection with his temple to distribute food to the poor. The grant was made on the 5th Aswin of 1897 (Bikram’s era) 7.e., in September, 1843 A.D.—14 years before the mutiny.
I found the name of Maharao Siva Singhajee in Hunter’s Gazetteer to be the ruler of Sirohi State, who rendered a great deal of help to the British Government during the mutiny of 1857. It is not improbable that he is the man whose name we find in the inscription. Attempts are being made through the Governor-General’s agent in Rajputana to throw further light on this grant. The inscription has an incorrect

_ Sanskrit verse at the end of it; which, when translated into English, runs thus :—“ He who confiscates the land gift made either by himself or by someone else, lives in hell as long as the sun and moon endure.”
The language of the inscription of the plate No. 2 is a mixture of Sanskrit and Guzerati, and the characters are Devanagri and Guzerati, and except in two or three places, are deeply cut and legible. Its size is 8{ inches by 7} inches.
The inscription of this plate is to the effect that one Bai Sree Maha Kubar Bai made over a village named Meruojeshinagar to the shrine of Radhajee, whose temple is situated in the Islands of Dwaraka for the same purpose as that of the plate No. 1. The grant was made on the 7th Magha 1813 (Bikram’s era) 7.e., January, 1757 A.D.—4 months be- fore the battle of Plassey.
The inscription of this plate also has an incorrect Sanskrit verse at the end of it containing 4 lines; the last two of which say the same thing as the plate No. 1; but the first two lines if translated into English would be: ~‘‘ He, who protects the land gift made either by himself or by any one else, lives in heaven as long as the sun and moon endure.”
The following papers were read :— 1. Mahals in Sarkar Lakhnau.—By H. R. Nevitt, I.C.8.
(Abstract. )
In the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for 1884 there appeared an article by Mr. J. Beames ‘On the Geography of India in the Reign of Akbar,’ in which he dealt with the mahals and sarkars of the subah of Awadh as recorded in the Ain-i-Akbari.
Mr. Nevill is attempting to complete the work of Mr. Beames. The present paper relates only to the sarkar of Lakhnau.
Mr. Nevill rejects the view that Tara Singhaur is now included in the pargana of Daundia Khera. Tara Singhaur he identifies with a village called Singhaur Tara on the banks of the Ganges some seventeen miles south-east of Daundia ‘Khera, lying in latitude 26° 3’ north and longitude 80° 53’ east. Kahanjara is the village of Khanjar or Kahenjar in the north of pargana Sareni, in latitude 26°11’ north and longitude 80° 49’ east. Lashkar is the modern village Nisgarh, also in pargana Sareni, in latitude 26° 6’ north and longitude 80°46’ east. Deorakh is the hamlet now called Deorakhar in the centre of pargana Sareni. Haihar still gives its name to a small estate in Rai Bareli, in the north-west of pargana Dalman, four miles east of Lalganj. Kumbhi must be fitted into the Parwa tahsil of the Unao district, in pargana Mauranwam. Lastly, Pingwan or Bangw4n is Bangawan in the Sadarpur pargana of Sitapur. This clears up the whole geography of the sarkar.

2. Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula, No. 15.—By Sir Grorge Kine, K.C.LE., LL.D., F.R.S., &e., late Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta, and Mr. James Sykes Gamsie, M.A., C.LH., F.R.S., late of the Indian Forest Department.
(Abstract. )
The present paper contains practically the completion of the account of the large National order Rubiacee. Owing to an accident, it- has unfortunately been found necessary to postpone the publication of the descriptions of the species of the genus Psychotria (numbering about 45) until the next paper of the present series. A key is here given to the remaining twenty-three genera of the family, the key to the first thirty having appeared in the last paper. In all 123 species, belonging to 22 genera, are now described; and, of these, 47 species are believed to be new to Science.
3. The Buddhist Doctrine of ‘‘ Middle Path.”—By Panvtt Satis CHANDRA VipDyABHUSHAN, M.A. The paper will not be published. (Abstract. )
The pandit explains the doctrine of the ‘middle path’ from two standpoints, ethical and metaphysical. Ethically the middle path con- sists in the avoidance of the two extremes of excessive self-indulgence and excessive self-mortification ; metaphysically it consists in the avoid- ance of the two extremes of a belief in the reality of the world and a belief in its unreality. The world only appears to exist in virtue of conditions or relations. The relations are of four kinds: the causal con- dition as in the relation of the seed to the germ ; the supporting condi- tion as in the relation of fuel to fire; the condition of succession as between prior and posterior events; and the defining condition as in the relation of the eye to colour.

5. Shoulder-headed and other forms of stone implements in the Santal Parganas.— By Rey. P. O. Boppine.
(Abstract.) Mr. Bodding describes five new forms of stone implements found in
the Santal Parganas. 1. Some wedge-shaped axes curved in a peculiar manner, the
upper side being convex and the other concave.

2. Implements with squar eside edges, which used to be thought very rare in India.
3. A small oblong flat stone, the edge of which has been cut with small notches and which has probably done service as a saw.
4. Perforated stones, all of sandstone.
5. The ‘shoulder-headed’ celts of chert and sandstone. Some of them have two small notches, continuing a line down along each side of the neck down into the body of the stone. These notches are clearly marks left by the manufacturer, and show that the neck has been at least partially cut. The late Mr. Peal, arguing from the resemblance between these shoulder-headed celts and a kind of small iron hoe used in some Naga villages in weeding the hill paddy, assumed that the celts were minature hoes. Mr. Bodding thinks it equally likely that they may have been adzes. The fact that these cherts are found in the Malayan peninsula and in Chota Nagpur does not show that the pre- sent inhabitants of the two regions are connected. It shows that in a former age the same people have either been living in them, or there has been some kind of intercourse between the countries.
6. Himalayan Summer Storm of September 24th, 1903, and the weather immediately subsequent to that date im Northern India—By C. Lirtie, M.A.
( Abstract.)
The paper on the Himalayan Summer Storm of September 24th, 1903, and the weather immediately subsequent to that date in Northern India, is thethird of a series dealing with similar occurrences during the past two years. Of these occurrences, which have been called Hima- layan Storms, because they are first observed in the region of the Himalayas, two striking examples belong to the monsoon season of 1902, and are dealt with in a paper entitled ‘‘ Two remarkable Rainbursts in Bengal.” Two still more remarkable examples belong to the monsoon season of 1903, and it is the latter of these that is discussed in this paper.
ixtracts are quoted from the Hnglishman and Pioneer to show the character of the weather in Northern India during the latter half of September and the extraordinary change that began in Bengal about the 24th September. Father Francotte closed the usual weekly weather report in the Englishman on September 15th with the remark—“ This year, 1903, there seems therefore to be greater fear for a speedy termination of the rainy period,” and in the Pioneer of September 28th there occurred the following remark :—‘ The sky is becoming clear all over Upper India and fine weather is now pro- mised by the Meteorological Department.”
40 Papers. [ Marcu,
Ten days later the Pioneer wrote as follows: ‘ On the 26th or 27th September the Meteorological Bureau seems to have arrived at the conclusion that fine weather conditions were becoming established over Upper India just on the eve of one of the most heavy and prolonged bursts of rainfall that can ever have been recorded so late in the year. Even now the daily telegrams seem to shew no appreciation of the extraordinary character of the season, &c.”
It is pointed out in the paper that the subordinates of the Weather Bureaus who issued the warnings thus criticised had no alternative on the present system of looking towards the sea region to the South of India for all changes in the monsoon rainfall. Also that in this as in previous cases of the same kind exceptionally fine settled weather prevailed over the southern sea and the Bay of Bengal just before the commencement of the period of heavy rain- fall, and that there was no appearance of a cyclonic storm of even slight intensity having entered Northern India until the second stage of the disturbance. On the other hand itis pointed out that in the North of Bengal, at atime when weather was fine in the South, thunderstorms began and spread southwards over Bengal. They first occurred in Assam and the Darjeeling Himalayas on the 23rd or 24th, in support of which there is recalled the experience of Puja holiday- seekers who left Calcutta in fine weather and found the Darjee- ling railway badly breached. The thunderstorms spread southwards, and the change occurred in Lower Bengal on the evening of the 25th. A temperature tracing is given showing the thunder- storms of the 25th and 26th at Calcutta, and the subsequent gradual formation of a depression over Lower Bengal. This depression was most marked on the 29th, after which it moved westward and recurving in Central India towards the United Provinces caused the commence- ment of the heavy burst of belated rainfall which called forth the criticism of the Pioneer already quoted.
It has been proved in these papers that such an occurrence as what is called a Himalayan storm is followed by remarkable series of depres- sions over the north of the Bay, a striking example being the series which saved Western India from crop failure in August 1902. On this occasion two depressions formed ; the first has been already mentioned. The second formed a week later, and following an almost identical course, maintained the rainfall in the United Provinces.
Brief quotations are given from the writings of Mr. H. F. Blanford and Sir J. Eliot to show that on the system introduced by the latter it was impossible to forsee the change which then began, because on that system all such changes are initiated over the southern seas, and on this

occasion weather remained exceptionally fine for the season in that area. -But Mr. Blanford discovered more than twenty years ago that to forecast rainfall in northern India something more than the report from ground-level observatories iswanted. ‘ What is more especially wanted now isa knowledge of the prevailing movements of the higher atmos- pheric strata.” Nothing more is known now of these upper atmospheric strata than when Mr. Blanford wrote, but in this paper it is maintained that the change which began at the end of September last was in the upper strata, and that the circumstances of the subsequent rainfall could not have been foreseen without a knowledge of these strata—an - opinion which the quotations from Sir J. Eliot’s writings show was, in all probability, not shared by him. ‘The paper closes with short tables of meteorological statistics showing the progress of the disturbance ‘over Bengal up to the commencement of the first depression. The tables are arranged, as in previous papers, to show that the same features were present as on the occasions therein referred to.
| 7. Cyclone of 13th to 15th November, 19038, in the Bay of Bengal.— By C. Littin, M.A. (Abstract.)
The paper on the cyclone of 13th to 15th November in the Bay of Bengal is intended to show the importance of what is called ‘ re- curving’ in the more dangerous cyclones. Charts are given showing the tracks of two steamers, the ‘ Madura’ from Calcutta to Rangoon and the ‘ Pentakota’ from Rangoon to Calcutta, and the very curved path of the cyclone. The two steamers were on the outer edge of the storm at 8 a.m. on the morning of the 14th, and before midnight were involved in the central area of hurricane winds—the ‘ Madura’ about 5 in the afternoon, the ‘ Pentakota’ some hours later. The main object of the paper is to show that the rules laid down by Sir J. Ehot in the Hand- book of Cyclonic Storms are of little assistance in enabling mariners to avoid the central area of a cyclone, that is of a severe cyclone, re- curving as up-to-date experience shows all severe cyclones todo. Both these ships during the 14th moved in a course more likely than any other to bring them near the central area, and this is the more striking in the case of the ‘ Madura’ whose officers were engaged in a continued effort to apply the rules of the Handbook. The course of the ‘ Madura’ on the chart and the narrative quoted in the paper show that those on board were unable to allow for recurving until about 6 p.u., when the barometer began to rise and the centre had passed to the east of vessel. ‘The opinion of the writer is given that this recurving cannot be anticipat- ed and allowed for by consideration of ground-level and sea-level obser-
42 Papers. | Marcu, 1904. |
vations; that at sea as on land where recurving is associated with striking differences in rainfail distribution, the phenomenon is probably connected with the character of the upper strata of the atmosphere. Quotations are given from the Indian Daily Weather Reviews, in which the statements are based -strictly on the system introduced by Sir J. Eliot, to show that a very inadequte appreciation of the character of the storm was possible on that system, and that any warning which could have been issued from Simla must have been of ageneral and ill- defined character. The discussion shows that a failure to avoid the central area of a cyclone cannot, in the present state of our knowledge, be provided against by rules, and that until meteorologists have accounted for recurv- ing the “full intelligence” of the mariner cannot be made a matter of question, as appears to be the case on the front page of the Handbook. It is incidentally pointed out that wireless telegraphy is not likely to be an aid in storm warning, as experience has shown that it cannot be
relied on when thunder is occurring—an invariable accompaniment of |
cyclonic weather in the Bay. American Meteorologists have tried itand have givenitup. ‘They are now going on laying cables between the main- land and islands a short distance from the coast. The Telegraph Department in India have stated in their last administration report that wireless telegraphy fails when the the atmosphere is electrically disturbed. The only apparent method of investigation is that suggested by Mr. Blanford more than twenty years ago, a suggestion of enquiry into the upper strata which is now the main line of investigation carried on by the United States Weather Bureau, and a method of enquiry for which the area comprising Lower Bengal and the North of the Bay gives every prospect of success.

Ad. W. Gollan—Note on the Chestnut. [ APRIL,
The following is an abstract :—
The 14th International Congress of Orientalists will be held at Algiers during the Easter vacation of 1905.
The Committee draws attention to the fact that this is the first time the Congress has met in a Mussulman country, and hope that this interesting fact, together with the attraction of the climate and natural features of Africa, will ensure a large attendance. The Con- gress will, as before, devote itself to all branches of Oriental learning, though questions of local interest will receive special attention.
The subscription is 20 francs (ladies 10 francs), but this does not include the cost of the publications of the Congress.
Contributions on Oriental questions are invited. The address of the General Secretary is—M. Edmond Doutté, Ecole Supérieure des Lettres, Parc de Fontaine-Bleue, Mustapha-Supérieur, Algiers.
Mr. E. Vredenburg on behalf of Mr. T. H. Holland exhibited fur- ther specimens of the Meteorite which passed over Calcutta on the 22nd October last.
Mr. I. H. Burkill exhibited some Burmese pottery ornamented in a very primitive manner. —
At Thayetmyo two kinds of pottery clay are used for making pots; the one gives ordinary cooking pots, the other gives a kind of terra cotta out of which vases are made.
The vases are ornamented by being polished in various designs by means of the hard bean of entada scandens. .
Captain L. Rogers exhibited slides illustrating the Physiological Action and Antidotes of Snake poisons.
The following paper was read :—
Note on the Chestnut.—By W. Gouuan, Superintendant, Government Botanic Garden, Saharanpur. Communicated by Masor D. Pray, I.M.S.
This tree has taken kindly to the Dehra Dun Valley, and it also exists on a small scale in the Kulu Valley, but outside of the two small areas the tree is rare, and will probably ever remain rare.
Here (Saharanpur) the tree flowers every season, but never ripens its nuts, and the same is the case over the Punjab and Upper Gangetic plains generally, At Aringadh, Mussoorie (5,500 feet), it also flowers every season but never ripens its nuts, and the same is probably the case at all the Hill Stations with the one exception of the Kulu Valley. As far as I can gather, the nuts are not yet an article of trade from the Kulu Valley, but a fairly large trade is done in them from Dehra Dun.
—————
1904, ] W. Gollan—WNote on the Chestnut. A5
The only other centre I know of where the nuts are an article of trade is at Bhamo, Upper Burma, and there the nuts come in from China.
In the old reports of the Sabaranpur and Mussoorie gardens, prodi- gious quantities of nuts are noted by the late Dr. W. Jameson as having been imported from time to time from Europe into N.-W. India, but it is not clear from these reports that these nuts ever yielded plants that at- tained to the age of nut-bearing trees. The native tradition of this garden is that the chestnuts now bearing at Dehra Dun belong to stock intro- duced by Fortune from China along with the tea plant. The trees now bearing in the Kulu Valley may be of the self-same stock. The plants could easily have reached that valley from the Saharanpur garden through the adjoining or neighbouring Kangra Valley where Dr. Jame- son had charge of a Government experimental tea plantation.
The nuts now found at Dehra Dun and those which appear in the Bhamo bazar every season from China, are identical in general appear- ance. Both are very like the sweet chestnut of Europe, but neither are so well filled nor do they keep for so long. When perfectly fresh, they differ very little, if at all, from the nut of Hurope, but they shrivel up and rot much sooner, and when a month old only a small percentage are fit to eat. Ihave tried both plants and seeds of chestnut from Europe, and in the course of an experience of over 25 years, have only established one plant at Arnigadh, Mussoorie, a grafted plant from Italy. This particular plant is over 20 years old and is still a round-headed bush 4 to 5 feet high and about the same through.
There are therefore very strong reasons for assuming that the European strain of sweet chestnut has been a most complete failure every- - where in Northern India, and that the small success we have had, is through seeds or trees of Chinese origin, introduced into N.-W. India by Fortune and established by Jameson.

48 Obituary notice of Dr. Bohtlingk. [ May,
On the Ist April last, there occurred at Leipsic, in the high age of nearly 89 years, the death of one of the last surviving pioneers of Sans- krit studies in Europe, Dr. Otto von Béhtlingk. Having completed his University studies at his native town, St. Petersburg, he went to Berlin and then to Bonn, at that time the leading University in Germany for Sanskrit Philology. Here he studied under Schlegel and Lassen, and first entered the arena of independent workers with a masterly edition and translation of Kalidasa’s Sakuntala. This was soon followed by an edition of Panini, the first that appeared in Europe, which was essential for placing the study of Sanskrit in Europe in its beginning upon a sound, critical basis. After returning to St. Petersburg, Bohtlingk was soon appointed a member of the Imperial Russian Academy of Science, a post which he held during his life-time, and which enabled him to devote all his time to scientific work, without be- ing bound down by other official duties. A catalogue of his publications, which fills some eight or ten pages in print, shows how well he has used the leisure thus afforded to him. Having been a member of the St. Petersburg Academy for 25 years, he was, under the rules of that corporation, allowed to reside outside of Russia, and he first chose the small German University town of Jena as his residence, which he after- wards transferred to Leipsic, where he lived up to his death.
His monumentum aere perennius consists of the two great Sanskrit Dictionaries, of which he was the chief compiler, and which now gener- ally go under the name of the St. Petersburg Dictionaries, Bohtlingk’s name will always survive in the history of Sanskrit Philology as that of its first great lexicographer. Planned at the outset of that science, when the enormous mass of Sanskrit literature existed almost entirely in manuscripts, the work could not have been brought to a successful end without that persevering energy, which formed such a marked trait in the character of the late great scholar. Witness of this are the ten stately volumes of the great and small St. Petersburg Dictionary, a real mine of treasure, indispensible to any serious worker in that field of research. There is scarcely any independent earlier work in Sanskrit or Comparative Philology, the author of which does not gratefully ac- knowledge his indebtedness to the St. Petersburg Dictionary. The compilation of such a monumental work covered a period of 35 years. In the great Dictionary Roth contributed the Vedic matter, while epic and classical Sanskrit was the domain of Bohtlingk. Chief among other contributors were Aufrecht, Kern, Schiefner, Stenzler and Weber. The small Dictionary is primarily a compendium of the larger one, without the quotations, but contains also such additional matter, as had come to light in the meantime,
1904, ] ie Exhibitions. 49
Béhtlingk’s other works are legion, and it would be impossible here even to name them all. But mention must be made of his second edition and translation of Panini, by which he made the rules of that great grammarian easily accessible to those scholars who have no time to enter into the intricacies of native commentaries; his translations and editions of the principal Upanishads, the aim of which was to restore the often corrupt and incorrect text and to find its simple and original meaning, independent of the often fictitious explanations of Sankara and other commentaries ; and, last but not least, his charming com. pilation, called ‘“‘Indische Spriiche,”’ a collection of those short epi- grammatic verses, illustrative of Indian thought and life, which are spread over a large number of Sanskrit books, and which are perhaps the only kind of Indian poetry that really appeals to the Huropean mind. During his last years Bontlingk mostly wrote on Vedic pas- sages, and although he never claimed to be a specialist in that line, his emendations and explanations of doubtful verses in the Veda were often striking and convincing. His active pen never rested, and even on his death-bed, suffering from a painful illness, he published a small Vedic article. When death came, it closed a life that may truly be called great in its devotion to science, and the memory of it will remain as long as Sanskrit Studies are cultivated.
The President announced :—
1. That Lt.-Col. J. H. Tull Walsh, I.M.S., had-been elected a Member of the Council in the place of Major A. Alcock, F.R.S., resigned, and that Lt.-Col. Walsh had also been appointed to officiate as the. Gene- ral Secretary of the Society during the absence of Mr. J. Macfarlane.
2, That Dr. T. Bloch having returned from tour had taken charge of the duties of the Philological Secretary from Dr. E. D. Ross.
3. That the Hon’ble Dr. Asutosh Mukhopadhyaya had been ap- pointed to officiate as the Treasurer of the Society during the absence of Dr. C. R. Wilson. | |
The Philological Secretary exhibited photographs of an old shirt belonging to the King of Delhi, forwarded by Major H.C. Tytler, I.A., of Agra, and read the following account given by Major Tytler :—
The shirt, which belongs to Mrs. Tytler, my mother, is in very good order and is printed on both sides, I am told, with the chapters of the Koran in old Arabic letters; it was obtained by my father, Col. Tytler, after the siege of Delhi, and has remained in the possession of my mother since the death of my father.
My mother’s story as to how it came into his possession is as
50 W. Irvine—Regnal Years of Shah Alam, Bahadur Shah. [May,
follows: This is the true history of the shirt given to your father by Ahsanullah Khan, the King’s physician, who was a prisoner under our residence in the Fort of Delhi, which had been the house of the King’s uncle.
It appears, from what he said, that this shirt was one of five that were copied from Mahomet’s shirt by the Hmam of Mecca, and sent one to each of the great Mahomedan Potentates. The way we got it was that Marie, our French maid, who used to wander about with the children all through the empty Palace, found it lying in the King’s own Palace in the Saman Burj, and knowing your father liked curiosities for his museum, brought it to me saying, “Regardez Madame comme il est curieux,” to which I replied, “ All right, Marie, put it down on our bed, and when master comes I will shew it to him.” As soon as your father came home, I showed ittohim. He replied, “It must be some holy relic written in Arabic, and as I don’t understand Arabic, I will take it to the King’s physician and ask him what is its history.”
As soon as your father showed him the shirt, he said, falling down on his knees and worshipping it, crying, ““O! Sahib, where did you find it?” Onbeing told what I have already stated, he said, “ If that old fool of a king had not thrown it off his back, when he fled from the Palace, he would not be a prisoner now, nor would I be one.” The shirt is written in old Arabic, which I think is termed Kufi, and has not been in use for very--very many years—something like 150 or 200: about this I know nothing for certain.
Dr. T. Bloch exhibited specimens of a collection of ancient inscribed clay seals found by him at Basarh, the site of ancient Vaisali.
The following papers were read :—
1. Regnal Years of Shah Alam, Bahadur Shah.—By WIittam Irvine, I.C.S., (retired).
In Part I of the Journal for 1902, p. 66, Major Wolseley Haig describes a copper coin of Shah ‘Alam Bahadur Shah, issued by the mint of Hlicpur. As read by Major Haig, this coin bears on one side the Hijra year 1122, and on the other the regnal year 3. The result is a discrepancy; for one or other of these two dates must be wrong, By an order recorded in Danishmand Khan’s Bahdadur-shah-namah, the official commencement of the reign was fixed for the Ist Zu'l Hijjah 1118 H. Thus we have :—

No part of the 3rd year of the reign could have fallen within the year 1122 H. Major Haig suggests a possible second mode of reckon- ing from the victory over Kam Bakhsh (3rd Zu’l Qa‘dah 1120 H.). I have never seen any evidence that would support this alternative reckoning; has Major Haig any evidence to produce? If not, would it not be safer for him to reconsider his reading of the coin, and see whether ‘¢1122” should not be read as “1121”; or the figure “3” taken as “4,” If this is not possible, then had we not better put the thing down to a mistake of the mint, rather than throw doubt upon the official reckoning in this reign ?
2. A forgotten City.—By J. F. FanrnHome. Communicated by the Philological Secretary.
(ABSTRACT. )
The historians tell us that in the 9th year of his reign, corres- ponding to 1565, after his return from Mandu, Akbar founded a city at a village, one farsang to the south of Agra, the name of which is spelt Kalakrali by Abul Fazl, and Ghiawali by Badaoni. The city received the name Nagarcain or in Persian Amnabad, both meaning the abode of rest. Akbar used to retire to this place for recreation, spending his time in hunting, playing polo, hawking, watching races and other sports. Already towards the end of his reign, as we learn from Badaoni, the city had been deserted and fallen into ruins.
After translating the passages in the Akbarnamah and Badaoni relating to the foundation of Nagarcain, the author identifies it with the modern village of Kakrali near Agra.
The President announced the resolution of the Council regarding the lending of certain objects to the Victoria Memorial Hall for public exhibition there.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
The President made the following announcement :—— GENTLEMEN,
I have now the duty to announce to you an important matter and the resolution of the Council regarding it, It is the proposal that
52 Announcement by the President. [ May,
the Society should lend certain of the pictures and other valuable objects, that belong to it or are in its care, to the Trustees of the Victoria Memorial Hall for public exhibition there in accordance with the scheme of that institution. And I will now explain to you what has been settled, and the reasons which have led the Council to its decision.
You are aware that primarily that building is intended to com- memorate Queen Victoria; but secondarily it “is intended to contain a collection of sculptures, paintings, arms, manuscripts, engravings and relics of every description—provided that they possess either conspicuous individual interest or historical value—connected with notable events or with the careers of remarkable men in the history of India in modern times.” It is thus part of the scheme that the Hall should perpetuate the memory of the distinguished men in India, who added lustre to Queen Victoria’s reign or who inaugurated move- ments that culminated in her reign. The Hall wiil become a National Gallery of British India. It is not intended, however, that the Hall should commemorate solely the glory of the British period, but also that it should perpetuate the fame of the preceding dynasties in modern India and of the great men who attained distinction under their rule, by exhibiting memorials of them and their times. _ _‘The Asiatic Society of Bengal, though founded before the late Queen’s reign, maintained and increased its reputation during her reign; andits activity during her reign cannot well be dissociated from its foundation and early researches. The Society might therefore of itself expect (or even claim) that memorials of its most distinguished members should fittingly find a place in the Hall, and His Excellency the Viceroy has anticipated such an expectation by inviting the Society to lend (if a gift should be out of the question) certain of its treasures for exhibition in the Hall; and he suggested the following objects— ‘
two portraits of its founder Sir William Jones (one of him as a youth and the other in middle age) (Nos. 67 and 41) ;
the portrait of Warren Hastings (No 65);
the bust of James Prinsep, the decipherer of the old inscriptions (No. 19); and the old cannon of Mir Jumla (No. 2).
When considering His Excellency’s suggestion, the Council fully
appreciated the honour which he proffered the Society in allowing it © |
a part in such a noble national institution, and have discussed the matter with the fullest sense of its importance to the Society.
The Society’s objects of art consist broadly of two classes; first, objects that it has acquired and that belong to it absolutely; and secondly, those that compose the “Home Bequest.” The Society
1904, | Announcement by the President. — 53,
has three portraits of Sir Wm. Jones—one of him as a youth and two of him in middle age; and of these two, one (No. 41 in the catalogue) is the original, and, the other (No. 71) is a copy. The original portrait of Sir Wm. Jones in middle age, the bust. of James Prinsep (No. 19), and the cannon (No. 2) are the Society’s own property ; but the copy of Sir Wm. Jones in middle age and the youthful portrait (No. 67), and also the picture of Warren Hasting belong to the “Home Bequest.” The Society’s functions in dealing with the two classes are not the same, and it is necessary for me therefore to explain the difference regarding the “ Home Bequest.”’
Mr. R. Home was an artist who came to India about the close of the eighteenth century ; he became a member of this Society in 1797, and was its Secretary for two years from 1802. At that time the Society had a museum, and he contributed towards it. He settled down in Lucknow and made a considerable collection of pictures, books, | casts, d&c. Before his death he expressed the wish that his collec- tion might become of public benefit in Calcutta. Accordingly, after his death, Col. Home and Capt. Home presented the collection to the Society in compliance with their father’s wish, in order that the objects should be preserved in some public institution in Calcutta, where they might be properly attended to and be at ali times open to public inspection. This Society accepted that trust on 5th November, 1834 (Journal, 1834, Vol. III. p. 524). The collection then is not the Society’s property, but is held by the Society in trust for the purpose mentioned.
At that time the Society had its own museum in this building, the Home Collection was placed here and was always open to the public. In 1837 the Society asked the Government for pecuniary aid “to convert that institution into a public and national concern,” but the H.I. Co. declined (Procdgs. 1837, p. 493). In May 1857 the Society went further and resolved that a proposal should be made to the Government for “the foundation at Calcutta of an Imperial Museum, to which the whole of the Society’s collections, except the Library, might be transferred” (Procdgs, 1857, p. 282); and after some hesitation the Government approved of the proposal in May 1862. The scheme sanctioned provided for the establishment of “ the Indian Museum,” with space enough to meet various scientific requirements, and also to accommodate this Society with the whole of its Library, property, and business; and it was agreed that the Society’s collections should be transferred to the Government, (Procdgs, 1862, p. 320), That was the beginning of the present Indian Musesm; and when the quadrangular portion of it was finished, the Society’s Archeological
54 Announcement by the President. [ May,
and Natural History collections were handed over to the Museum in 1876. The Museum, however, had to meet other needs and could not accommodate the Society and its business; hence the Government | gave the Society pecuniary compensation instead (Proedgs, 1876, pp.59 73-77).
The Society therefore remained in this, its own house, and the Home Collection remained here also; but since the departure of its own museum, these premises have denned to be open to the public as freely as before. At present it can hardly be said that the Home Bequest is at all times open to public inspection; and indeed the fine picture of Warren Hastings is so little known, that in a recent life of that great Governor a list of all known portraits of him is set out and makes no mention of our picture. The intention of the donors would certainly be carried out better, if the portraits already mentioned belonging to the Home Bequest, be exhibited in the Victoria Memorial Hall.
The Council approved therefore of His Excellency’s request ; and learning also that the Trustees of the Memorial Hall would wel- come other objects of interest, the Council proposed to offer some other memorials from its collections for exhibition at the Hall, namely—
a fine MS. of the Gulistan (No. 114) ;
a fine MS. of the Badshah-nama (No. 118) ;
three old copper-plate inscriptions (No. 126, found at Amgachi; No. 185, found in the Sambhalpur district ; and No 136 found, at Augasi) ;
a stone edict of King Asoka (No, 25) ;
a portrait of Shah Ghazi-ud-din- Haidar, king of Oudh (No. 29) ;
a portrait of James Grant Duff, who wrote the “ History of the Mahrattas” (No. 51);
a painting of the interview {between the Governor-General and the Raja of Kota (No. 107); and,
a portrait of Nasarat Jang, Nawab of Dacca (No. 91),
The last-mentioned portrait belongs to the ‘‘Home Bequest,” and all the rest are the Society’s property. The MSS. and old inscriptions are kept in safe custody, but the inscriptions have been deciphered and published in the Journal. All these objects will attract far more public notice and interest if exhibited in the Memorial Hall; while their removal will not really impoverish the Society’s rooms, for there is not space enough at present for the effective display of all the Society’s painting and engravings, As regards the portrait of the Nawab of
1904. ] Announcement by the President. 55
Dacca, the Society will fulfil its duty under the trust better by lending it for exhibition at the Hall.
It may be mentioned here that other institutions, as well as private persons, have been invited to contribute to the treasures to be exhibited in the Memorial Hall, and have cordially responded. A full list of the objects so given or lent is published by the Trustees of the Hall, and three such instances may be mentioned here as lending countenance (ifany support be thought necessary) to the proposal which the Council now lay before the members; namely, the statues of Warren Has- tings and Lord Cornwallis in the Town Hall, and the bust of Sir Charles Metcalfein the late Metcalfe Library (now the Imperial Library) will be transferred to the Victoria Hall; and the fine picture of Sir Elijah Impey in the High Court will be lent to the Hall.
Before making its final decision, however, the Council took some steps to ascertain the opinion of resident members, in order that it might feel assured it might make the loan of the objects specified with the grace that general and cordial approval would confer on the loan ; and I am glad to say on behalf of the Council that the proposal has obtained wide appreciation among members, while we have been enabled to safeguard the just pride of the members in the Society’s memorials of those very distinguished men, of whom it does not possess duplicate memorials. Fortunalely there are only two such cases, namely, the picture of Warren Hastings and the bust of James Prinsep ; and the Council have resolved to have copies of these made. Thera will then be the original and a copy of each, as also there are of the picture of Sir Wm. Jones in middle life. As regards the picture of Warren Hastings, which belongs to the ‘“‘Home Bequest,” the Society would be better discharging the trust it has undertaken, if the original is exhibited at the Victoria Hall. As regards the other two objects the Council has deferred the business of deciding whether the original or the copy should be lent to the Hall, till the copies are obtained ; though I may perhaps add that it appears to be generally held, that only the originals could be lent consistently with a due appreciation of the Memorial Scheme and the Society’s share in it.
I have now therefore to report on behalf of the Council to the mem- bers, that the Council has resolved to contribute the objects which I have mentioned, in order that they may be lent to the Victoria Memorial Hall for an indefinite period for public exhibition there.
It will be understood from what has been mentioned of the Society’s history, that the Council’s present resolution does not involve any revolutionary, nor even any novel, idea; indeed it falls far short of the proposal which the Society itself advocated and pressed on the Govern
56 Announcement by the President. 12 [ May,
ment in 1857 and 1858, for by that proposal “ the whole of the Society’s collections, except the Library,’ would bave been transferred to the
Imperial Museum. The Library was the only collection excepted ; hence all the Society’s own pictures and the “ Home Bequest” (without distinction of originals and copies) would have passed out of the Society’s custody. The Indian Museum however was not large enough for all that was advocated; and only the Archeological and Natural History collections were given away. The department that would have provided for Art was omitted, and our Art collection was not transferred. We may feel sure that in making this loan to the Victoria Hall we shall be furthering one at least of the objects which the Society had at heart, when pressed so earnestly for the establishment of the Indian Museum, and gave so freely of its own treasures to be of public use there.
The Council wishes it to be understood and recorded that the objects selected are not given away. They will remain the property of the Society, and the arrangement is a loan; for the scheme of the Memorial Hall is not to gain the ownership of all the objects con- templated, but to collect and place on public exhibition objects of the highest interest, which are now scattered about and lost to general knowledge. Furthermore, the Council can place this arrangement: on record in this building by setting up a tablet to this effect in this, the general meeting-room.
I may further mention that the proposal to lend these objects enables the Society to render to the public some acknowledgment of the munificent encouragement which it has received from the State through a very long series of years. It is well-known to all members that the Society receives liberal pecuniary grants from the Govern- ment annually, and that without such aid the Society would have found it very difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish all that it has actually undertaken. The present Viceroy has evinced special interest in the Society, and has recently made a most generous grant for the repair and improvement of this building.
The Council therefore make this announcement to the members in the expectation, that they will unanimously unite with it in taking advantage of the present unique and graceful opportunity, that they will declare their appreciation of the Victoria Memorial Scheme and of the noble part offered to the Society in a building that is destined to become the National Gallery of India, and that they will also associate themselves with the State, with other public bodies, and with large- hearted individuals, in lending some of the Society’s treasures to com- plete and adorn the Memorial Hall, and thereby to extend the fame of its own most illustrious members.

explain the grounds upon which the Council proposes his election as an Honorary member. He has devoted himself almost entirely to the study of Modern Indo-Aryan Vernaculars, in which branch he is now the first authority. The great Linguistic Survey of India, carried on by him, which is now approaching its end, forms a Jand-mark in this branch of research, and has brought to light a vast number of impor- tant facts which are likely to throw much new and interesting light on the many problems connected with Indian Philology, History and Ethnography. During his residence in India, Dr. Grierson has been most intimately connected with this Society, the prosperity of which he has still much at heart. He contributed a great variety of valuable publications to the Journal and the Bibliotheca Indica, and for many years he was a member of Council and also for some time Philological Secretary.

The President announced the following resolution of the Council regarding the rejection of certain books from the Society’s library.
The Council adopt the report of the Library Committee which has gone carefully through the catalogue of books, and resolve—(1) that the books weeded out by the Committee be rejected and disposed of ; the medical works being placed in a collection by themselves ; (2) that the best way of disposing of them is by sale, and that they be accord- ingly offered for sale; (3) that the first offer be made to the Imperial Library, and that, if it purchases any of these books, the prices of the books be settled between the Council and that Library according to the price-catalogues of Quaritch and other booksellers; (4) that the next offer be made to the Calcutta University, the Presideney and other Colleges and the Medical College, and that the prices of books bought by them be settled similarly; (5) that the remainder of the rejected books be disposed of by public auction under some arrangement by

which members and others can bid, and by which real prices may be obtained if possible; and (6) that all books rejected and disposed of be first stamped plainly and indelibly with a special stamp.
This decision will be reported to the next General Meeting, and members who wish to inspect these books are welcome to do so, while objections may be made under rule 64, if necessary.
The following papers were read :—
1. On the names hitherto unidentified in four Dutch monumental in- scriptions at Chinsurah.—By Dr. C. R. Witson, M.A.
| (Abstract.)
The initials W.A., R.V.H., R.B., and J.V.H. occur on tombs at Chinsurah. By a search in Dutch records at the Hague they have been identified as of Willem Andries, died 1668, Rogier van Heyningen, died 1665, Rogier Berenaart, died 1732, and Jacob van Hoorn who died in 1712.
2. Proposed identification of the name of an Andhra King in the Periplus.—By Dr. C. R. Witson, M.A.
(Abstract. )
The Periplus mentions, as Kings of Kalliene or Kalayan, Saraganes, and after him Sandanes. The former is identified with Satakarni, but while it is impossible to say which of the kings bearing this name is referred to, there can be no doubt that Sandanes should be corrected to Sandares or Sundares and identified with Sundara-Satakarni. The paper shows that the reign of this king falls exactly in the time which, on independent grounds, has been accepted as the date of the Periplus.
3. The Asiatic species of Ormosia.—By Major D. Praty, I.M.S. (Abstract. )
Since the publication of the list of the Asiatic species of Ormosia in the Society’s Journal, Vol. lxix. 2, pp. 175 et seg., in 1900, further material has become available from China and Burma. This material permits the completion of the description of O. yunnanensis from China, the record of a new species O. striata Dunn (in Journ. Iinn. Soc. xxxv. 492) from China, and the record and description of a new species, O. tavoyana from Southern Burma.
4. Notes on the Roxburghiacee, with a description of a new species of Strmona.—By Masor D. Praty, I,M.S..
(Abstract. ) In this paper a new species of Stemona collected in Burma in 1892
62 Papers. [June, 1404. ]
by a native collector belonging to the Royal Botanic Garden, and recently again communicated by Mr. Burkill, is described. In connection with his description, a key to the known species of Stemona, with notes on their nomenclature and distribution, and a note on the distribution of Stichonewron, have been added to the paper.
5. Note on the titles used in Orissa.—By J. M. Das. Communicated by the Anthropological Secretary.
(Abstract. )
The people of Orissa love titles ; they were formerly granted by the King of Orissa, but later every big landholder exercised the privilege within his jurisdiction, and latterly they have even been obtainable by the election of caste men with or without the confirmation of the Raja of Puri. <A list of these titles is given. New titles are, however, stilk being invented. .

Leipzig, le 19 Mars 1904. MonsIevr,
Le chant peut étre considéré comme l’expression Ia plus parfaite de l’Ame d’un peuple. Le mouvement actuel de la civilisation et de la science, qui tend @ rapprocher les diverses nations, s’est fait sentir dans l’étude de la musique comme dans d’autres domaines, et l’on s’apercoit chaque jour davantage de l’intérét qu’offre l’examen com- paratif des chants populaires et nationaux. O’est ainsi que l’Hmpereur d’ Allemagne a fait rassembler les chants populaires allemands, autri- chiens et suisses. C’est une tentative qu'il serait utile de poursuivre, en l’étendant a tous les pays et & toutes les races, Nous inspirant de cette idée, nous nous proposons de constituer un recueil des chants nationaux de tous les pays, qui ne serait plus une simple compilation comme on en a Si souvent essayé, mais qui s’attacherait a retracer Vhistoire du texte et de la musique de chaque hymne. Un recueil historique ainsi congu permettrait d’embrasser d’un seul coup d’ceil non seulement chaque chant national dans son développement isolé, mais encore le rdle actuel de la musique populaire dans Il’histoire universelle. Nous avons chargé de la partie scientifique de cette entreprise Monsieur le Dr. H. Abert, de LVUniversité de Halle (Allemagne), qui est avantageusement connu par ses travaux sur Vhistoire de la musique allemande, grecque et italienne.
Ktant donné le puissant intérét que présentent vos hymnes na-
tionaux, nous nous permettons de vous prier de bien vouloir nous donner :
1° le texte de votre hymne national ou des chants populaires ayant une portée patriotique (exécutés dans les fétes et cérémonies.

2° la musique de cet hymne dans la forme usitée chez vous. Dans le cas ou il existerait, a coté de Pédition pour chant avec accompagne- ment d’un instrument, une autre avec accompagnement d’orchestre ou pour orchestre seul, cette derniére nous serait également bienvenue. Des éditions imprimées, lorsqu’il y en a, sont préférables aux copies. Nous vous serions reconnaissants de nous les envoyer, avec facture, ou de nous indiquer l’adresse de 1’éditeur ;
3° Vhistoire du texte et de la musique: nom de l’auteur et du compositeur ; les circonstances politiques ou sociales dans lesquelles les chants furent composés, et le sort qu’ils ont eu depuis leur publi- cation.
Nous vous prions de bien vouloir nous fournir ces renseignements dans lune ou l’autre des principales langues européennes mentionnées ci-dessus.
Nous osons espérer que vous voudrez bien nous aider a étre ausst complets que possible, et que vos bonnes indications nous permettroni de faire 4 vos chants nationaux la place qui leur revient dans un ouvrage comme celui que nous préparons.
Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, avec nos remerciments anticipés, l’as- surance de notre considération distinguée.

The proposal to lend certain portraits and other objects of interest to the Victoria Memorial Hall for public exhibition there, of which intimation had already been given by circular to all members, was brought up for final disposal. The votes of the members were laid on the table and the President requested any members who had not ex- pressed their opinion to take the present opportunity of filling in voting paper. Five such papers were filled in and with the 154 return- ed by members were scrutinized. The President appointed Messrs. T. H. D. La Touche and R. P. Ashton to be scrutineers. The Scruti- neers reported as follows :—
For 127. Against 31. Carried.
66 Yogesa Chandra Sastree, Hxhibition of an image of Jvara., [JuLyY,
Pandit Yogesa Chandra Sastree exhibited an image of Jvara (the god of fever).
This is the image of Jvara (god of fever). This deity is com- monly known in India by the name of Jvarasura and is worshipped by the Hindus when epidemic fever sets about in the country.
This image, like that of Manju Nath, a Buddhist deity which I exhibited here before, has got three heads, having three eyes on each, six arms; but it differs from that deity in respect of its legs which are three in number. In three of its right hands there are—an arrow in the first, a battle-axe in the second, and a mace in the third. In the three left hands there are—a bow in the first, a rope in the second, and a pitcher in the third.
The use of these weapons, as it is generally known, is that when a person falls a victim to Jvara, he (gvara) binds him (victim) with his rope and beats him with his mace and cuts the victim’s veins with his _ axe, after which he takes away the victim’s blood in his pitcher. If the person try to run away he (Jvara) shoots him with his arrow.
As to the origin of this deity it is stated in most of the Purans and in Charak, S’usrat and other works of the Hindu medical science, that Jvara originated from the breath of Rudra who was angry at having been insulted by Daksha, the father-in-law of S’iva.
This version of the origin of Jvara may be considered irrational and unscientific at the first sight; but if carefully considered it would appear that the scientific and most rational explanation is involved in the very conception of it. Jvara is commonly defined by all the nosologists to be the heat of the body caused by irascible state of the three humours, v2z., wind, bile and phlegm. Moreover, every one, when angry, conceives heat in his body, which also is a sort of (Jvara or fever). Hence it is obvious that the primary cause of Jvara fever) is anger as has been stated in the Purans.

1. Lhe Later Mughals (1707-1803).—By Wiit1am Irvine, I.C.8., (vetired ). |
(Abstract. ) This paper is a continuation of Mr. Irvine’s articles on the Later Moghuls. It narrates the events during the short reigns of Rafia-d-
Darajat and Rafia-d-Daulah, who were set up as puppet kings in 1719 A.D. by the Sayyids after the assassination of Farrukhsiyar. The
68 Papers. [Avausrt, 1902. ]
narrative is carried up to the beginning of the reign of Muhammad Shah.
2. On Dioscorea birmanica—a new species from Burma, and two allied species.—By Magor D. Pratn, I.M.S., anp I. H. BurKILt. |
(Abstract. )
A common wild yam of Burma is described under the name of Dioscorea birmanica. An ally from South-West China is described under the name of D. yunnanensis, and reference is made to a plant of Perak which also seems to be allied.
3. Rusot : An ancient Hastern Medicine.—By Davip Hooper.
(Abstract.)
Rusot, identified with the Lykion of the ancient Greeks, is an ex- tract of the wood of several species of Berberis. Several examples preserved in the Indian Museum have been chemically examined, and are found variable in the amount of berberine and other matter which they contain.
4. Notes on the Khasis, Syntengs and allied Tribes inhabiting the Khasi and Jaintia Hills District in Assam.—By Mason P. R. T. Gurpon, TA.
(Abstract.)
The general appearance and mode of life of these tribes is described. They are matriarchal, the youngest daughter inheriting from the mother, or failing daughters, the youngest niece, or again failing daughters and nieces, the youngest female cousin. They propitiate the spirits of departed ancestors by sacrifice, and worship them by me- morial stones. The Khasis are divided into clans named after natural objects (totems apparently not now worshipped). They marry in strict exogamy, the husband remaining of little account: he visits his wife for many years in her mother’s house ; he never becomes ad- mitted into his wife’s clan; divorce is easy, and the women enjoy con- siderable freedom in their sexual relations. Itis remarkable that the sex of the Supreme Being is not definite in the ideas of these people, and that with their matriarchy in their worship, they call on spirits of both sexes, viz., the primeval ancestress of the family, the maternal great-uncle, and the great-grandfather. The birth, marriage, divorce, ‘death and other ceremonies are described, and an account of the me- morial stones given. ‘

Literature and education in India have suffered a great loss in the death of Charles Robert Wilson at the comparatively early age of 41 years. His loss will be very specially felt in this Society, with which he had been connected since J891, and which he served in various capacities.
Mr. C. R. Wilson was elected a member of the Society on the 6th of May 1891. In January 1892 he took charge of the duties of Philological Secretary and editor of the Journal, Part I. In the year 1893 he was elected General Secretary of the Society, and continued in that office til11897, During the years 1902, 1903 and part of 1904, he was Treasurer of the Society.
The following papers were contributed by Mr. Wilson :—
1. Note on an old Picture of the Riverside of Calcutta in 1788,— published in Proceedings for August 1892.
2. Note on the Topography of the River in the 16th Contd from Hugly tothe Sea as represented in the Da Asia of de Barros,—published in Journal, Part I, No, 2, 1892.
3. The Topography of Fort William,—published in Journal Part I, No. 2 of 1893.
4, Anunrecorded Governor of Fort William,—published in Journal Part I, No. 2 of 1898.
5. On the Names hitherto unidentified in our Dutch Monumental Inscription,—published in Journal Part I, No. 3, 1904.
6. Proposed identification of the name of an Andhra King in the Periplus,—published in Journal Part I, No. 3, 1904,
Inall his connection with this Society, Dr. Wilson will be remember- ed for his remarkable energy, his catholic sympathies, and for the extra- ordinary enthusiasm which he brought to bear on anything of whatever nature, which had once engaged his interest. He had also the true in- stinct for research. Outside the Society his more solid literary labours include the well-known two volumes of his ‘Harly Annals of the English in Bengal’ and his not less familar work in connection with the discovery and elucidation of the sites in the Old Fort, Calcutta. In both these undertakings his wonderful power of work, and his masterly grasp of the thing he had taken in hand, are displayed with conspicu- ous success. The two volumes of Annals have a permanent value,

while his re-creation of the Old Fort is a piece of work much needing to be done, and once for all well done.
But important as are these services to history and to archeology— and therefore to this Society—Dr. Wilson’s highést distinction lies in another field and is of such a nature as to merit the grateful remem- brance of the people of Bengal at large. This is his educational work, especially as shown in that rare quality, a warm personal sympathy with the individual student. In this respect his educational career has been unique. In his love for and devoted service to the student he stands alone in Bengal ‘ nec viget quidquam simile aut secundum.’
This distinguishing characteristic was manifested at once when he first came out and started work at the Dacca College in 1887. Nothing is more difficult in educational work in India than to make a personal interest in students living and practical. This difficulty hardly existed for C. R. Wilson. He soon made a name for himself in the student world, and even excited some criticism without it. When he went to Calcutta in 1890, the same devotion was shown on a larger scale and its results remain permanently in the Calcutta University Institute. This institution was started by Babu Protap Chandra Mazumdar, the veteran leader of the Brahmo Somaj, and was at first called the Society for the Higher Training of Young Men. But it had but a languid ex- istence under that title. It was Mr. Wilson’s energy as Secretary during 1893—1900 which, together with the interest taken in the scheme by Lord Lansdowne, Mr. Risley, Sir Charles Elliott and other benefactors gave it its present form. Mr. Wilson also started a paper—the Cal- cutta University Magazine—intended to be an organ of university opinion, which, though fallen on evil days, still exists. But it was his personal interest in and liking for Bengali students, and a real liberality and kindness towards those needing help which constitute Mr. Wilson’s best claim to the grateful recollection of the Indian community. The various expressions called forth by his death are sufficient testimony that this has been felt and acknowledged.
But with all his sympathy for Indian students, Mr. Wilson did not fail to see the weak points in the characters of most of them, or the startling defects in their education as promoted by the Calcutta Uni- versity. He was one of the first to advocate the thorough reform of the Calcutta system. LHarly in the nineties he, along with some others in- cluding the present Bishop of Madras, drew up a scheme with a view to practical reform. He was closely interested in the work of the Univer- sities Commission and hopeful that some good would ultimately result

from its labours. In aletter dated April 25rd of this year, he writes: “T think it is clear that the fate of education depends altogether on Government. If they appoint well-selected senates and strengthen the teaching department everywhere, we may do better things ..I should hope, at any rate, that the standard of the Entrance and F.A. Examina- tions will be raised, the size of classes reduced aud the quality of the men improved.” Now that reform has become a nearer reality he can ill be spared. For C. R. Wilson had the larger and more inspiring con- ception of university teaching. He thought a Professor existed for something more than the convenience of a College routine. He thought the Principalship of a College should be a position of real influence and distinction, not an intermediate step inan official hierachy. He had, moreover, grasped two truths not, perhaps, very often practically re- cognised in Bengal. The one was, that educational work makes as high claims in India as elsewhere, and demands as complete a self- surrender and as thorough an identification of the teacher with the interests of the taught: that this duty is as binding at a Government College as under other conditions of service, and as possible of reali- sation. The other was that when a thing ought to be done, it can be done. He had not idly studied the Kantian ethic. Teachers, he knew, never can be mere units in a department. They must, if they are to do their work in any true sense, be independent sources of life and energy. They require a larger discretion than other Government servants. This larger freedom, by a happy combination of circumstances and temperament, C. R. Wilson was able to realise to a great extent. He was out-spoken to the point almost of brusqueness, and a mixture of simplicity and fearlessness carried him to the attainment of ends which, to minds more normally constituted, might have seemed denied by the conditions of the case. He did not parade his religious principles, but it was not possible to know him without recognising that in these was to be sought the mainspring of his character.
When Mr. Wilson went to Patna as Principal in 1900 (after pre- viously officiating at the Government College there for a short time in 1897-98) he identified himself wholly with the duties of his new position and was able to show his unsparing devotion to the welfare of those under his charge. He went to Patna at a critical time, when the new buildings of the Behar School of Engineering were in course of com- pletion and about to be opened. Without neglecting the older Arts College, he threw himself heart and soul into the work involved by the new—which he himself said more than doubled the responsibilities of

the Principalship—fought its battles, watched over its interests, and con- tributed very greatly to its ultimate success. Unfortunately plague - eame to Patna in 1901 and caused great anxiety to all in responsible positions through the alarm and confusion which prevailed. It would seem that the work and anxiety entailed on Mr. Wilson from these various causes laid the seeds of weak health which have resulted in his untimely death. He was very ill in July 1900—so ill that in spite of a great desire to doso—he was unable to be present at the ceremony, when in August of that year the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir John Woodburn, opened the Engineering School. Mr. Wilson got over his illness, but it left him weak, and the plague in 1901 brought fresh strain, so that in March 1902 he was feeling generally overtaxed and was intending to take a year’s furlough. Just when his plans were laid for this purpose, came the offer of the post at the Record Office which he held at the time of his death. Though it took him from education, it was a post thoroughly suited to his tastes and abilities and the offer was made in a very flattering manner. He decided to give up his furlough and ac- cept it. He took up his new work with eager interest; but his health failed more and more, though he was home for a few weeks in 1902 and again in 1903. It was while home in 1903 that he took the new degree of doctor of letters at Oxford. He had qualified for and taken the B. Litt. in 1901. In November 1903, the Chinese carpenters had completed under his instructions, the beautiful model of the Old Fort which is now placed in the Museum. He was also able to render efficient help to the Viceroy in his collections for the Victoria Hall—belp which was hand- somely acknowledged by Lord Curzon in his speech at the Museum in March 1904. Itis pleasant.to remember now that Dr. Wilson was thoroughly happy in this new work, and often contrasted the amenities attaching to it with the rubs and jars and rebuffs of the life educa- tional, But his friends were shocked at his increasing emaciation. In May 1904, he went to Darjeeling, but instead of getting stronger he grew worse and he wasordered home. He was terrrbly weak through- out the voyage; but when he reached England and his friends, the doctors held out good hopes of his ultimate recovery. This hope has proved vain; the end came peacefully in his sleep on the night of 24th July, 1904.
It may well be supposed that his best work was. yet to be done. But the work he has accomplished is considerable in amount and of varied nature, testifying to the versatility of his talents. Besides the two volumes of Annals there was the textxbook in Ethics, pre- pared in collaboration with the Rev. E. M. Wheeler in 1896. Thongh

confessedly written to a syllabus for lecture purposes, it has merits of its own and served its purpose. Of much higher literary value and practical usefulness is the little history of India published in 1900. Simple in design and limited in range as this little book may seem, it is perfect in its kind and is unique among the various short histories prepared for the Indian school-boy. It does what none of the others attempts, presents the really salient features of the story of the Indian peninsula, in the way best calculated to win a child’s interest. The Indian school- boy could not better be introduced to a study and love of India—broadly viewed. The versatility and gifts of the man whose early death we deplore are nowhere more conspicuous than in this little book. Those who know him best will recognise that there were elements of real greatness in his character and willlament the loss of what else he might have done had he lived. As already said he will be ie missed at the present time.
** Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise —That last infirmity of noble mind— To scorn delights and live laborious days ; But the fair guerdon when we hope to find And think to burst out into sudden blaze, Comes the blind Fary with th’ abhorred shears And slits the thin-spun life.

5. A Language map of West Tibet with notes—By A. H. FRANCKE.
(Abstract.)
The distribution is given of the Rong, Leth, Sham, Purig and Balti dialects in the Indus and Shayog valleys and in ZGangskhar and Rubshu; and the chief characteristics are mentioned showing that the further we advance towards the North West the more is the pronuncia- tion in agreement with written character. The tone system is not yet quite extinct in the Indus Valley.
North West of the range of Tibetan dialects are the Dard dialects, and it seems evident that formerly they extended further up the Indus Valley, and that the North Western parts of Ladakh as far as Saspola were peopled by Dards who since their colonisation of the valley have been tibetanised. We do not know what tribes they found there when they came, which was apparently from Gilgit. Traces of the Dard language still persist in the parts where they settled.

7. Some Notes on the Bahmani Dynasty.x—By Mason WOL.LSELEY Hare, I. A.
1904. | Papers. 77
(Abstract. )
Legends connect the cognomen Bahmani with the name of the priestly caste of the Hindus, but the name, originally written in the time of the founder of the Dynasty Bahman, though by his suc- cessors Bahmani, is obtained from Bahman the son of Isfandiyar their ancestor. The founder Ala’-u-d-din Hasan Gangu Bahmani had, ac- cording to historiaus, four sons—one of whom is never named : he seems to have been Da’tid who reigned as fourth of the line after his nephew Mujahid Shah. Mujahid was one of “the sons of D&’tid’s elder brother : a second son of whom is only once named. Muhammad Shah II the fifth of the dynasty was the son of Mahmud Khan and grandson of Ala-u-d-din: Firuz Shah and Ahmad Shah, the eighth and ninth kings of the dynasty, are likewise grandsons—sons of Ahmad Khan who never reigned.
Firuz Shah was deposed by his brother in A.H. 825 and left several sons. The eldest Hasan Khan was unambitious and did not oppose, it seems, his uncle’s designs. Mubarak Khan was a younger son, and his daughter the princess Makhdima-i-Jahan was married to the eleventh king of the dynasty and became the mother of Nizam Shah and Shamsu-d-din Muhammad Shah III, twelfth and thirteenth kings. Ahmad Shah had seven sons, the eldest of whom Ala’-u-d-diun Ahmad Shah II reigned after him. Ahmad Shah II had threé sons and several daughters. His eldest son, Humayun Shah Zalim, succeeded him as eleventh king and put his brothers to death.
The son of Shamsu-d-din Muhammad Shah III is stated to have changed his name on ascending the throne: becoming from Ahmad, Shahabu-d-din Mahmud Shah; the reason of this has never been ex- plained. He had three sons who reigned after him. The date of the birth of the eldest is correctly A.H. 899. Kalimu-’lah the eighteenth and last of the dynasty may have been a son or may have been a younger brother of Ahmad Shah ITI.

9. Ashrafpur Plates of Devakhadga—By Ganca Mounan Laskar.
Communicated by the Philological Secretary. (Abstract. )
The two copper plates referred to were found in 1884 or 1885 in the Dacca District. A description of the plates is given, and a translation of as much of the inscription on them as is preserved. The plates relate to the gift of land to Buddhist monasteries by King Devakhadga to se- cure the longevity of his son Rajaraja Bhatta, and by the said son. Who these princes were is not known. The line seems to have reigned in the eight and ninth centuries of the Christian era.
Prof. Vidhyabhusana thought that the characters in which the in- scription is written belong to Western Bengal and that the plates there- fore must have been brought over from that part of the country to > Hastern Bengal. A glance at the tables appended to Bihler’s Grun- driss, Vol. II, would show any one that the letters in which the inscrip- tions are written are the ordinary Gupta characters which were com- mon not only in Western Bengal but all over North India at a certain period. Mr. Harinath De gave the following additional reasons for coming to the conclusion that the plates must have belonged to Hastern Bengal :—
(1) The identification of V'alapafaka in Plate B with Talpara a
village near Ashrafpur where the plates were found. (2) The mention of drona—a very common land-measure in Hastern Bengal.
(3) The fact that the plates were found deep under ground, beneath a huge mound which must have marked the site of the Mon- astery of Sanghamitra to which the lands were conveyed.
In conclusion he differed from Babu Ganga Mohan Laskar with respect to the status of the Khadga Dynasty. In Plate B mention is made of vatsanaga pataka conveyed by the Vrihat parameshwara ? What did this last word mean? He thought it must refer to the father of Rajaraja and not to any over-lord, in which case the name of the monarch would have been mentioned. It seemed probable that the usual oriental sense of decorum prevented the crown-prince from needlessly naming his royal father. King Devakhadga being therefore mentioned as the Vrihat-parameshwara, the dynasty therefore must have been of consider- able importance.
The President brought the discussion to a close by making some observations as to the probability of the plate belonging to Hastern Bengal.

Out of the nine Geckos recorded from the Andamans, five or pos- sibly six would seem to have been carried thither by man. The remaining

three are indigenous. One of the three is very nearly related to forms on the nearest mainland ; the second has Malabar affinities; and the third Madagascan. The Andamans have three Agamids: Two are endemic ; the other is a common Indian garden species, but is very local in the Andaman Islands. Of Varanide, the only species is Indo-Malayan. Of the Skinks the Andamans have several species. One of these occurs down the east side of the Bay of Bengal; one is confined to the Anda- mans and the remaining species have a distribution similar to that of the Varanus mentioned earlier.
The author describes Gonatodes Andersonii—a new species.
The scales of the reproduced part of the tail, dorsal and ventral surfaces, of Ptychozoon homocephalum are slightly smaller than those _ on the uninjured part, and the dorsal tubercles are absent: also the loose membrane is narrower, asymmetric and not lobed, This last point is important, as Miller had thought the lobes of specific importance.
2. Vidyapati Thakur.—By Naaenpranata Gupta. Communicated by the President. (Abstract. )
The paper contains facts relating to the life and work of this poet. Some four hundred new poems have been obtained in one collection, and they are pronounced genuine; altogether some six or seven hundred poems of his are known. He lived toa very greatage; but the exact dates of his birth and death cannot be ascertained, though the day of the month on which he died is known. He was appointed Raj Pandit in an age of Pandits, and showed untiring activity through his life. In a village near Darbhanga is preserved a very valuable manuscript of his poems which has been examined.
3. The Occurrence of an Aquatic Glow-worm in India.—By N. ANNAN- DALE, B.A. ets
Until recently the Lampyride were regarded as purely terrestrial and aerial beetles. The great abundance of fire-flies on the banks of Oriental rivers and swamps, especially in wet weather, and the fact that most glow-worms (generally the larvae of fire-flies) seem to affect damp situations, have led me to doubt whether this is the case in a considerable number of tropical forms, regarding the life-history of which nothing is known. In 1899! I first observed and collected an aquatic larval glow-worm at Patalung in Lower Siam, and I was able to confirm the observation at the same place in 1902. At the begin- ning of November, 1904, I brought some water-weeds from a tank in the suburbs of Calcutta, and among their roots I subsequently found

what appears to be a second Lampyrid larva. It is not so brilliantly luminous as the Siamese form, but closely resembles it. Should I be able to rear it, I hope to publish a full description in due course. So far as I am aware, these are the only cases in which aquatic Lam- pyrids have been found.
I may say that I am getting together material for an account of the tank fauna of Calcutta, and will be glad to receive specimens of fresh-water animals of all kinds from the neighbourhood. If possible,
arrangements will be made for their identification by specialists in
Hurope, unless they belong to groups which are being studied by naturalists at present in India.
4. A note on Mahamahataka Chandeswara Thakkura of Mithila.—By Tue Hon. Mr. Justice Saropa Caaran Mitra.
( Abstract. )
Chandeswara Thakkura is known to lawyers as a leader of the Mithila School of the Mitakshara system of Hindu law; to Sanskrit scholars as the author of the Saptaratnakara, of which the law exposi- tion is but a part, and which contains the whole duty of man. Up to the present time little has been known of him, but that he wasa minister ofa Raja of Mithila, named Hara Singh, and was living in 1314 A.D., thereafter going on a pilgrimage to Gujrat.
It is now found out that he came of an ancient family of Mithila Brahmins originating at a village called Visai not yet identified. His grandfather, Devaditya, was prime minister to the then Raja of Mithila, —a feudatory of the Sultan of Delhi; and his father, Vireswara, was a minister and the author of a work Chhandoga Paddhati. His brother was a great Pandit. Mr. Colebrooke has claimed that Chandeswara rather supervised the writing than wrote the Ratnakara, but there is no improbability in the general belief that he wrote it.
