¹ The Senas continued to exist as a local dynasty in Eastern Bengal subordinate to the Muhammadans for four generations after the capture of Nūdīah. Their eastern capital is believed to have been Rāmpāl in the Dacca District (*Ep. Ind.*, xii, 136). It is in the Bikrampur *pargana*, and Ballāl Sen is said to have held his court there (*I. G.* s. v. Dacca Dist.). See also *ibid.* s. v. Rāmpāl. The authorities for the history of the dynasty are discussed in App. O, but the chronology is not yet finally settled. The chief difficulty lies in the determination of the duration of Ballāl Sen's reign. For minor dynasties not noticed in this work, see Duff, *The Chronology of India*, Constable, 1899.
