As connected with the subject of an essay on the Sráwacs or Jainas, read at a former meeting, I lay before the Society copies of inscriptions found by Dr. Buchanan Hamilton in South Bihar. Though not ancient, they may be considered to be of some importance, as confirming the prevalence of a Jaina tradition relative to the site of the spot where the last of the Jinas terminated his earthly existence, and as identifying the first of his disciples with Gautama, whose death and apotheosis took place, according to current belief, in the same neighbourhood.
