30 NARRATIVE OP A JOURNEr 



they have a good deal of rice, alfo Joodr (HoJcus Sorg-^ 

 hum LiXN.) and Moong (Phafeolus Mitngo) but no 

 Bajerah (Holcus fpicains). Celebrated as this place is 

 for tobacco, we could get none of a good quality. The 

 crop of the former year had been all exported, and the 

 new one was too fre'fh to be fit for ufe. The town, or 

 as it is called, fort of Bhtljah, is enclofed with a frone 

 wal], furniflied with fquare towers, and a ditch. The 

 fuburbs without the wall are not very exteniivc, but 

 the ftreets are fpacious, and they contain fome good 

 iioules. The town is fituated nearly on the fouth-weft 

 extremity of the diftri 61, where it is contiguous to that 

 of Bopdl. To the eaftward of the town, at the dif- 

 tance of fix furlongs from the wall, is a high rock, 

 ver}^ fleep, on the top of which is a Durgah, confe- 

 crated to the memory of a faint, named Seid-jelal- 

 UD-DEEN BoKHARi. On the top of this rock I found 

 a pretty large tree of the Sttrcuha Urnis (Roxburgh's 

 i/7.7/i7;/ Plants:, Vol. I. -No. 24.) here called Curhhee, 



April 1. — Marched S (i4 W, 7,82 miles, to 

 Goolgaung^ a fmall village, in the territory of Bofal. 

 The road lies acrofs the BHii-ah, the bed of which is 

 rocky, very uneven and flipper^-. The rem.ainder was 

 a good carriage road. The laft part lies between hills, 

 which abound with a great variety of vegetable produc- 

 tions. Among thefe, we found Tendu (Diofpyros Ebe- 

 man) yhCr [Alanghmi. Hort. mal, iv. I7,'i6.) and a 

 fhrub for which I could get no name at this place. 

 In the Dooab it is called B'mna or Fovga. It is the

April 1. — Marched S64W, 7,82 miles, X.oAniary, 

 a village in the jDo/)^?/ difiridt,. fituated between two 

 pretty high hills, and partly built on the face of the 

 moft foutherly of the two. \w the way lies tlie fmall 

 I'wti GJiora-Puchar, fo named from the great number 

 of large, round_, flippery Honcs^ with which its bed is 



filled.
