² Examples of the association of the coins of Kadphises II and Kanishka are: (1) in Gopālpur *stūpa*, Gorakhpur District; coins of Kadphises II, Kanishka, Huvishka, and a much earlier prince, Ayu Mitra (*Proc. A. S. B.*, 1896, p. 100); (2) Benares hoard of 163 pieces, namely 12 of Kadphises II, and the rest (4 not read) of Kanishka and Huvishka (Thomas, Prinsep's *Essays*, I, 227 note); (3) Masson's collections from Beghrām, 25 miles from Kābul (ibid., pp. 344–51). See also *Ariana Antiqua*. The numerous coins found by Marshall at Taxila clearly establish the order of the dynasties as stated in the text.
