In the Assam hills, we have every reason to believe that there must 



be an extensive group of hot springs, but, with the exception of the two 



mentioned below, we have no particulars of any of them, though there 



can be but little doubt that, as soon as this district is more thoroughly 



explored, more will be discovered. 



244 Kopili ... Lat. 25° 31' ; Long. 92° 40* ; Elev. ; Temp. 122°. 



On the right bank of the Kopili, three days' journey from 

 Silchar, one and a half day's journey from Jawai. The 

 water is not saline but only hot.— Official Returns. Cap- 

 tain (now Lieut. -Col.) Godwin-Austen however, speaking 

 of the spring in a private letter, says it is strongly saline. 

 245. Namba ... Lat. 26° 02'; Long. 93° 53' ; Elev. ; Temp. 



On the right bank of the Namba stream, close to where it 

 joins the Dhunsiri river, 12 miles from Golaghat. There 

 are several springs ; gas, apparently slightly sulphuretted, 

 is copiously given off ; the discharge of water is copious 

 and at a scalding temperature. — H. B. Medlicott. 

 The district of Nowgong is said to contain several mineral and hot springs, 

 the waters of which are generally brackish, though those of a few sources 

 of sulphuretted hydrogen. — Robinson's descriptive amount of Assam. 

 We meet near Chittagong, on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, 

 or near to them, the large group of springs known generally under the 

 name of Sita Kund ( Seeta Koond). These are about 22 miles to the 

 north of Chutgaon, or Chittagong.
