No. 66.—The modern temples round the hot springs are situated 
at the opening of the valley, leading to the site of the ancient city, 
and 66 is a view of the temples with a singular fort-looking struc- 
ture on the hill behind and above them. It is composed of loose 
unsquared stones loosely put together. 
No. 67.—Is a view from the same structure overlooking the hot 
springs and the flat country beyond them. 
Deoxoonp. Wo. 68.—This place is situated to the west of Gya, 
about 25 miles, and some distance inland from the Sone. It 
must have been in early days a place of some importance, and a 
Buddhist monastery existed, only part of which now remains, and 
has been converted into a Brahminist temple, and a linga placed 
in the shrine, but great numbers of Buddhist votive stupas, &c., 
were scattered about some years ago, many of which, however, 
have lately been covered up. A fair is held here in the month of 
Falgoon, where great numbers of pilgrims assemble to bathe in 
the koond or tank. The original temple must have been a large 
one, judging by the mass of brick rubbish in which the shrine is 
sunk, and a road had to be excavated to allow of access to it. The 
shrine is now surmounted by a rude dome, but the lower part is 
still intact, and belongs to the early Buddhist type. 
Davpnacar. Wo. 69.—Daudnagar is a considerable town in 
the banks of the Sone, and forty miles west of Gya. The town 
which is comparatively modern, was founded by Daid Khan, a 
Pathan soldier, who signalized himself by his bravery, and who 
subsequently, as a reward for the conquest of Palamau, received ja- 
geers in this neighbourhood. He erected a fortified serai for the 
protection of travellers, who were subject to robbery on the road 
along the banks of the Sone going to Patna. The photograph 
represents one of the gate-ways of the serai, which is now used as a 
dwelling-place by his descendants. Daud Khan died about 200 
years ago. 
SHamsHERNAGAR, Vo. 70.—About eight miles lower down the 
Sone from Daudnagar there is a considerable village called Sham- 
shernagar, founded and named after a nephew of Datid Khan, 
Shamsher Khan, and a very pleasing structure was built by him 
as his tomb. It is now rapidly falling to pieces, although still in 
possession of his descendants.
