March 20. — Marched S 56^,8,07 miles io Si mJ- 

 ivaha^ through a country the moll completel)' culti- 

 vated that I have ever beheld in Hindnjimi. The 

 plain, as far as the eye can reach, was covered with a 

 luxuriant crop of wheat and barley. It is in the diiiri(::t 

 of ChanJeri^ but belongs to a Rajpoot chief, who is in 

 Ibme meafure independent of the Rpjah, only paying 

 choui to the MahraUas. ' Near the village is a pretty 

 large tank, banked in with ftone. To-day we crolied 

 the fmall river Junmy, and a nullah. On the banks of 

 this nullah, T found the D^haivry (j'ijl. Ref. IV. 42.) 

 which I learn from Doctor Koxbuegh is the Lylhruni 

 fncticofum of Lixn.tEus *. 



March 1^, — Marched S 21| W, 9,32 miles to 

 Ni'irat. Road interfedted with feveral nullahs, and 

 broken ground : the country cultivated, but not io 

 well as yeiterday. This village is lituated at the foot 

 of the hills which fcparate Bunddcimd from Mdlaiui. 

 It belongs to the Bundila Rajah of Gur-cootah, but 

 pays one-fourth of the revenue to the Muhrafhts, who 

 have a Pandit here, on the part of the Soubahdar of 

 Great Sagur, for the collection of it. 



March 22. — Marched S 23| W, 8,35 miles, to 

 MaIlo\V7i. The road lies through a pafs in the hills, 

 the firlt part narrow, lleep, much encumbered wirli 

 Hones and thick jungle. Above the ghaut there is a 

 good road, with a gende declivity all the way to Mai- 

 toi::7i, and a mile beyond it, where we encamped.
