A DESCRIPTION OF A HUNQUAH * OR THE 

 ANNUAL DRIVING OF ANIMALS OF THE 

 FOREST INTO NETS. 



THIS sport was formerly carried on with con- 

 siderable spirit in the countries of Ramghur, 

 Rogonautpore, Bissunpore, commonly called 

 Bundbissunpore f, to distinguish it from other 

 places of the same name, and by some of the 

 minor Rajahs and Zemeendars whose territo- 

 ries abound with jungle J and animals. 



* The word Hunquah is derived from the verb hunkna 

 to drive. 



t Bund signifies heavy cover, but this word is seldom 

 used, unless the cover is very extensive. 



J Jungle signifies thick cover, either of large trees, 

 underwood, grass, rJiar [a species of vetch] &c. &c. and 

 the name of one or more of them being added'to jungle, 

 forms the distinguishing appellation, as grass jungle, 

 rhar jungle, &c. &c.
