cabal of other matters which might have been included in this 
note, but, as they will involve an examination of the Sunderbans 
tract, and the application of its methods of formation to those of 
such rivers as the Kosi, it has been thought best to postpone 
further discussion on those points until a future date. 
In conclusion, I may add that it is with considerable diffidence 
that I have written this note. I am an amateur student of the 
ted to som 
year’s observation of large rivers in Bengal and Eastern Bengal, 
- —e times as my work has called me - visit them. At the 
e time, since the questions raised a r to have received so 
sek less RE then they deserve, I pe after much hesi- 
tation, made bold lace my views on paper. There are many 
with a better spate of the subject than I, who will disagree 
with much that this note contains: if my com mments are capable of 
uch 
that pice will be ai fulfille
