On the Anjun river, water passes out at 145° from two 

 orifices in a heap of jaspideous hornstone rocks. A fine 

 botryoidal silicious sinter deposited from the hot water 

 covers all the rocks near. Springs are about one and a 

 half miles from Babudin and Gurmaha. — Sherwill, Kur- 

 rukpur hills, J. A. S. B., 1852, XXI, 198. Springs are 

 known by the name of Jantjm Kund. Locality cojamonly 

 called Bhund Bharari. 



190. Sitaura ... Lat. 25° 03'; Long. 85° 29' ; Elev. ; Temp. 110°. 



In the north-west part of Pargana Sumaie of Behar, near 

 foot of the Rajghir hills. A great fair is held here. — 

 Sherwill, Surv. Rep., Behar, page 3. Sittourah of the 

 Atlas of India. 



191. Rajghir ... Lat. 25° 01' ; Long. 85° 29' ; Elev. ; Temp. abt. 108°. 



A group of hot springs, nineteen in number, with four cold 

 springs, rise within a small space, close to the entrance of 

 the gorge which leads into the centre of the Rajghir hills. 

 They are all enclosed in temples, and the natural tempera- 

 ture at the point of issue from the rocks (hornstone quartz) 

 cannot now be ascertained. But it is very high. Much 

 resorted to by the natives. — G. S, I. Sherwill, Surv. 

 Rep., Behar, p. 18. J. A. S., B., XV, 59. 



There are also a few hot springs along the southern face of 

 the Rajghir hills. — Ibid, page 18. 

 Passing- down to Orissa, .and thence westwards into the Berars, we 

 come to the following- springs : — 



192. Oteei ... Lat. 20° 12'; Long. 85° 34'; Elev. 50; Temp. 112°. 



Ten miles west of Khoorda. — Official Records. Dr. Brander, 

 in a notice on the climate of Pooree, mentions a hot spring 

 at Ooteer, which he evidently believed — for there is no men- 

 tion of his having personally seen it — to be on the sea-shore. 

 I cannot find any place of that name on the sea-shore, and 

 most probably the above-mentioned spring is referred to. 

 The distance from Pooree, 30 miles, agrees with that 

 given by Brander. Traus. Med. Phys. Soc, Calcutta, IV, 

 382. It is called Jaggarnath by Schlagintweit, and 

 Ooteee by Macpherson.
