XIX.-FRAGMENT OF A PEDESTAL. This fragment was found in a heap of rubbish which had accamalated under No. XIII. in the Epigraphical Section. Nothing is known about its findspot. The inscription is of interest as it mentions two synonymous words in the same line, vis. natti and pau[ttra].

XXI.-INSCRIPTION ON A PEDESTAL. This short inscription is incised on a fragment from a pedestal of yellow sandstone. Nothing is known about its findspot.
TEXT. Buddhadēvasya kutumbinigë Buddha pratim(ā] ..
Remarks. 1. There is a superfluous e stroke over the first letter bu.
2. The form of va is peculiar. At first it loo.ced like an inscription in the 7th century character of North Eastern India. But the language and the forms of na, ta and ya are convincing proofs of the age of the inscription.
