33* This is a distinct personage from Maha-Ranee Chund Kour, wife of Kurruck

34Sing, mother of No-Nehal, who for a short period was Queen; and was mur-

35dered by her female slaves, hs related on page 105. Though employed under

36her government, I never saw her ; much less was she visible to any painter ;

37consequently, I have not obtained a likeness ; but, in her stead, I give the

38portrait of Ranee Chunda.

39f This present Regent of Cabul does not strictly belong to this series of

40portraits ; but, as he is notorious in the history of the last Sikh war, and

41having obtained a striking likeness of him, I present it to my readers.
