It is readily procurable at Hajeepore, which is near 

 Patna, and also at different places in the North-West 

 Provinces. Kultliee, which is grown in those parts, 

 does not appear to be as good as that produced in 

 Madras. 



Urud. This variety of dal is commonly used 

 throughout Eastern Bengal; and, more or less so, in

 plan, as the husk seems to possess an acrid principle,

 three annas a maund (821bs.) for parching. 



Indian Corn. This grain, known as mulcaee, is very 

 cheap and plentiful in some parts, the Punjab fot 

 instance. Given by itself it is not suitable for working
