of any one acquainted with the language of Kutch^ and preferred, 

 thereforej adopting the spelling already common to introducing new 

 forms whichj in all probability, would have been as erroneous^ if not 

 more so. 



To Captain W. Murray, who was in charge of the lithographic 

 department of the Surveyor GeneraFs OfEce, we are very deeply indebt- 

 ed for the great interest which he took in the preparation of the map, 

 and for the time and trouble he personally devoted to it. It was the 

 first work of the kind executed, in colours, of any extent, which they 

 had undertaken in their Office, and the very satisfactory result is owing 

 chiefly to Captain Murray^s untiring interest in the work, supported, as 

 he was throughout, by Colonel Thuillier, to whom on this, as on every 

 other occasion in which we have sought his aid, we are under many 

 obligations.
