INTRODrCTORT TO THE TABLES OE EOTJTES. 149 



should rest and there study the Transit way-bills ; and, hav- 

 ing had the experience of the rate of travelling from Arcot, 

 should make his calculations for leaving Bangalore at such an 

 hour as will insure his arrival at the bungalow at Mysore, 

 87 miles, in about 20 hours, and from thence to that at 

 " Groondelpet," 27 miles, by midnight. 



He should there take refreshment, and put on warmer 

 clothing, and leave at 4 A. M. or earlier ; and should 

 have his water-proof coat, boots, &c. at hand, so as to be pre- 

 pared for mounting his pony on reaching " Seegoor ;" and 

 ladies, who intend to ride up the pass, should put on their 

 habits in the carriage, as they approach the village of See- 

 goor, in order to avoid delay at that place. 



Seegoor being about 29 miles distant from Goondelpet, 

 and almost all the road being an ascent, it will be evident 

 that the traveller should attend strictly to the advice to 

 leave the latter place by 4 a. m. and he will thus be 

 enabled to breakfast at the Kulhutty bungalow, near the 

 head of the pass. 



Persons going to the Hills by the " Coonoor Pass," 

 should adopt similar precautions as to putting on warm 

 clothing, &c. as abovementioned,at Meetapollium; and arrange 

 to leave that place at day-light, as the journey from thence 

 to Coonoor is tedious when travelling in a palankeen or ton- 

 john ; therefore all who can ride should go on ponies. 



The same directions generally will apply for the guidance 

 of travellers from Bombay, before ascending the " Sispara or 

 Koondah Pass ;" who should make their preparations at the 

 bungalow situated at " Sholaikul," or at that of " Walakaud," 

 at the foot of the Pass. 



At Calicut, to which travellers from Bombay are now 

 conveyed by the Steamers, passing it on their way to Galle, 

 there is a public bungalow.
