________________ (11) PLATES IV, V. VIEW AND SECTION OF THE JAIN STOPA AS EXCAVATED. These plates add little to the information obtainable from the plan in Plate III. Mr. Mukherji notes that the bricks brought to light during the excavations were of different sizes. Some were about 15 inches square and 6 inches thick, while others were long and comparatively narrow. The sinallest bricks were about 7 inches broud and 2 inchus thick. The smaller sizes were, naturally, better burnt than the larger sizes. In the remains of the ancient monastery at Sohnag in the Gorakhpur District I have noticed a similar variation in the sizes of the bricks. The huge square slabs occur at Sohnag also, and I measured one comparatively narrow brick there which was 19 inches long. For description of the great monstery at Sohung, ke J. B. A. 8.
