 supply might be found useful. A couple of rolls of 

 bandages should also be included, as well as a two-

For articles procurable in Srinagar I give below the 

 correct prices, as far as I have been able to ascertain 

 them. It must, however, be remembered that I may 

 have been misled, and that the prices I am giving are 

 above what is right. Where it is the interest of every 

 one to deceive the stranoer, and the business of each 

 one to loot him, it is very difficult to ascertain prices 

 correctly. It may, however, be accepted that no rates 

 I have mentioned are ever too low. The error, if there 

 is one, is entirely the other way, and any one who cares 

 to take trouble about the matter, and has the time to 

 bargain and to visit more than one shop, will obtain a 

 very sensible reduction on the prices I have shown.
