and numerous little peices of quartz lay fcattered on 

 the ground. 



In the lake, with its leaves floating on the watcf, 

 grows a fpecies of MenyantheSy here called Poore'm or 

 Teepee. The hills round the edge of the lake are 

 compofed of Schl/iusy difpofed in the fame vertical 

 ftrata as that on the road. The promontory that runs 

 out into the lake, has a vein of quartz running acrofs 

 it. On thefe hills, I found the Hees fCapparis Sepia- 

 riaj, the Hinguta (a new genus of the order De- 

 candria MonQgy?iia, which has been defcribed by 

 Doctor Roxburgh, under the Hindu name Garu)^ 

 and the Evolvuhs which I formerly obferved to 

 abound on the hills of DJiolpore, Gtiahor, and 

 Ditleah. 



Aprils. — Marched N Q2\ E, 12,42 miles, to 

 Bahmen-gawig, a village enclofed by a mud wall, 

 with baftions. It belongs to Aheliah Bai. Road 

 over the fame vertical oblique flrata of Schi/ius as 

 yefterday ; with finiilar little pieces of quartz, fcat- 

 tered on the furface. Little cultivation. Low foreft, 

 chiefly the Butea-frondofa by the road fide. 



^ri/ 3.— Marched N 25 E, 10,8 mlics, to 

 Oonidra. The road pretty good : little cultivation, 

 and not much jungle ; but a dry plain, in which the 

 foil is grey, and very dufty. 



This is a large town, furrounded by a wall, partly 

 of mud, and partly of Hone. Within the il:one enclole 

 is a handfome houle of the Rajah. Round both walls 

 runs a ditch. The Raw or Rajah is of the tribe 

 Njrooka, and a feudatory of the Rajah of Jynagur. The 

 prefent one, named Bheem Sing, is only twelve or 

 fourteen years of age. The tribute paid to Jynagur is 

 35,000 rupees to the Sircar, and 5,000 to the oliicers 

 of government.
