have been examined and described ; the coins of the Andhrabhrityas
seem to have been mostly of lead, or a mixture of that metal with
copper, and have been found at Kolapur and near the mouth of
the Krishna, where the dynasty had their capital in later times.
These coins are now attracting attention,1 and when properly
examined, they, together with the numerous inscriptions in these
caves, when they too are correctly copied and translated, may lead
to a solution of the chronological difficulties which still hang over
the reigns of the kings of these two dynasties. It is to be hoped
that this may be successfully accomplished before long, for if the
dates of the Andhrabhritya kings were ascertained there would
practically be very little ambiguity about the age of any of the
caves in Western India.
