6. It should, however, be noted that the word " dumat" represents vary- 

 ing degrees of consistency in the soil thus described, being composed of two 

 (do) original soils (motti), sand (bhur) and clay (matydr), i.e., the more 

 northern dtimat of pargana Bilhaur, &c., contains a larger admixture of clay, 

 whilst the ddmat, so called in the Jumna parganas, contains so much sand as 

 to approach the limit of the soil called bhur. 



7. The term " bhur" also includes varieties of soil from the sand-blown 

 hillocks near the Isan to the hard red sand found in the Jumna ravines : the 

 Pandu and Rind rivers being fringed with a belt of an intermediate soil called 

 locally " pilia," red (or yellow) soil. 



8. The " clay" (matydr'), though an original soil, is practically subor- 

 dinate to these two broadly defined classes. In this district it is found only 

 in depressions where water lies or slowly drains : it is in fact the collection of 

 the lighter particles of alumina washed out from the higher loams and sands. 



9. Broadly, then, we may assume that the district of Cawnpore con- 

 sists of the soils " diimat" and " bhur" representing varying degrees of con- 

 sistency of the two elementary soils, clay and sand. 



10. On the Jumna, however, we meet with small areas of the soils 

 peculiar to the country on the other side of this river (Bundelkhand), namely,
