Extract

[Since the publication in this Journal of Paṇḍit Bhagvānlāl's article on the Western Kshatrapas, a period of no less than four years has elapsed. The delay in issuing this, the final portion of his notes, is due to the fact that a study of these notes convinced me of the impossibility of publishing them in anything like their original form; and my task was postponed, until Dr. Bühler most generously undertook to revise the most important part of the Paṇḍit's work, viz. that which deals with the inscriptions engraved on the Lion Capital. Dr. Bühler's results, which are published in another article in the present number, have enabled me to deal with the rest of the work. While I have been obliged to omit some portions and to correct others, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to give a concise and connected exposition of the Paṇḍit's own views.

page 542 note 1 Cunningham gives this name as Çaudāsa. This is, however, a mistake. The only two forms which occur either on coins or in inscriptions are Çodāsa and Çudāsa.

Kujula Kadphises is usually regarded as the Kushan conqueror of Hermaæus. In fact, both Kujula Kadphises and Kozola Kadaphes expressly call themselves Kushan or Khushan on their coins (see Cunningham, , Numismatic Chronicle, 1892, p. 64Google Scholar.)]
