DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY. 5 



that road, the tigers being so numerous. In 

 Bundbissunporc there are a greater number 

 of villages, and of course more cultivation 

 than in Rogonautpore, and in Rogonautpore 

 far more than in Ramghur; the two first 

 countries in comparison with the latter have 

 but few hills, less jungle, and uneven ground. 



The Ramghur Rajah's country consists 

 almost entirely of hills and dales covered with 

 jungle: soon after you enter it from Calcutta, 

 you have to ascend the Chittro Ghaut, a wild 

 terriffic pass into the mountains, which extend 

 their range on each side at right angles, from 

 the new road, from Monghier on the bank of 

 the Ganges on the right of the road, to small 

 Nagpore on the left ; a distance greater than 

 the jungle part of the new road. By rny say- 

 ing that the country is made up of hill and dale 

 it must not be understood that they are in 

 continual succession without any plains; on 

 the summits of many of the hills are plains of 

 many miles in extent, intercepted now and 

 then with small ravines, and hollow ground.
