              An envelope containing three folded sheets of impressions of Pahlavi inscriptions of Cave No. 66 at Kanheri. Two appear to have been taken by Walter West on his visit to the caves between December 27th and 29th 1870, while the third seems to be an earlier one taken by Edward William West which has been checked and notated by W. West latterly.

              These are page 7 on the folder list.

              Rough sketches and notes of so-called 'Visitor Inscriptions' predominantly from Cave No. 10. There is one inscription from Cave No. 3. The names and dates inscribed onto the walls on Cave No. 10 have been copied in the style and arranged in an order which indicates their location in the caves. These are dated 1678, 1697, 1706, 1708, 1710, 1718, 1735 and 1771.

              An unfinished polychrome scaled copy of the wall painting in what is presumed to be Cave No. 51. The image depicts a large central enthroned figure of the Buddha surrounded by attending figures. To the right appears to be another figure seated on a double lotus. Further figures are alluded to.
