xxxvii A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF 
which appeared in 1819 and which will be dealt with in the chapter relating to 
publications. 
No journal appears to have been kept while Buchanan was a member of the 
Governor-General’s staff during 1803-05 or during his visit to Europe in 1806; at 
any rate none can now be found. А E 
The great Survey of Bengal during 1807-14 was duly recorded in а journal 
of the utmost value, which has never been completely published or properly edited. 
So much of it has, however, from time to time appeared that though the whole will 
be dealt with from another point of view in the chapter on Buchanan's publications, 
it may be convenient to enumerate the minor parts that have been issued and state 
when these appeared, 
From the 1807, or Dinajpur portion, a brief extract on hunting was issued in 
1829 by the editor of Gleanings in Science. From the 1808, or Goalpara portion, 
Buchanan himself extracted much of the historical, ethnological and scientific matter 
to form an account of Assam that appeared in 1820 in the Annals of Oriental Literature ; 
from the 1809, or Rangpur portion, Jenkins in 1838 extracted and edited, for the 
Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, a history of Cooch Behar, Тһе transfrontier 
researches included in the 1810, or Purnea portion of the journal, were incorporated 
in the account of Nepal by Buchanan himself. A portion of the 1811, or Bhagalpur 
portion of the journal, relating to the minerals of the Rajmahal hills, was extracted 
and published in Gleanings in Science in 1831, while most of the archeological results 
of the Surveys of 1811-13, in Bhagalpur, Patoa, Gaya and Shahabad, were edited 
by Colebrooke as a series of four papers published in the Transactions of the Royal 
Asiatic Society in 1826 and 1830. From the journal for the rainy season of 1818, 
Buchanan himself published іп the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal іп 1819 the passages 
relating to the Diamond mine at Panna. Of the 1813—14, or Gorakhpur portion, all 
the transfrontier information was incorporated in the account of N epal, and from the 
journal for 1814, or Fatehgar portion, Buchanan printed in the Edinburgh Philosophical 
Journal in 1820 an account of the Corundum quarry of Singraula. The India office copy 
of the Bengal Survey Journal was placed without reserve at the disposal of Walter 
Hamilton, and much of the topographical and statistical information it contains is to 
be found in Hamilton’s Hindostan, published in London in 1820. 
An abortive attempt to publish the whole journal iu India, undertaken at Calcutta 
in 1831, will be dealt with in tho next chapter; as will the ineffective endeavour 
to compress and issue it as a complete work in 1838. Тһе omission of many of 
the scientific references from this 1838 edition has, however, 
all of the matter relating to fishes and fisheries to be issu 
which forms а considerable portion of the concluding volume of the Statistical Account 
of Bengal edited by Hunter in 1877. The same cause induc ; 
in the Calcutta Review for 1894, a series of interesting archæological and historical 
between 1826
