 The springs are about 27 miles from the station of Hazaribagh, 

 at base of table-land. Four springs, which vary consider- 

 ably : water of one is at the ordinary temperature of the 

 atmosphere, in another the temperature is 108°, and in the 

 other two 170° and 190°. Sulphuretted hydrogen is 

 thrown out, and a copious deposit, chiefly of muriate and 

 sulphate of soda, with indications of sulphate of iron, 

 is thrown down. The water is nearly tasteless : cattle are 

 said to be very fond of it.— H. H. Wilson, Trans. Med. 

 Phys. Soc, Calcutta, III, 450. The springs are commonly 

 known under the name of Surajkund. There are four 

 springs, the temperature of which is 169°, 170°, 173°, 190° ; 

 the hottest being in the middle of five — there being a cold 

 spring close by, between two of the hot springs. The 

 cold spring varies from 75° in the morning to 84° in the 

 afternoon. The springs are close to the great trunk road 

 in a small valley. — Hooker, Himal. Jour., I, 27.
