the first-named route far exceeded what had 

 ever been known before. The land revenue of 

 this extensive district is estimated at about three 

 lakhs of rupees per annum, and it was expected 

 that this would be somewhat increased, with 

 the completion of the permanent survey and set- 

 tlement in progress during my stay in Sindh. 

 Although the European officers of the district 

 reside on the opposite bank of the river, which 

 I think objectionable, the conservancy of the 

 town and its police are, I believe, unexception- 

 able, and although not a wealthy place, it cer- 

 tainly bears an appearance of comfort and 

 prosperity, superior to most native towns in 

 Sindh.
