52 OLDHAM: THERMAL SPRINGS OF INDIA. 



246. Sitakund, Chitta- Lat. 22° 98'; Long. 91° 43'; Elev. 100; Temp. 



gong. These were visited in detail by Pogson in 1778, who de- 



scribes them. There are many springs within a small 

 radius. Babu Kund is at the end of a valley surrounded 

 by hills ; the water is always cold ; springs covered by 

 brick-work. Flames in successive flashes were playing on 

 the surface of the water, which, though cold, had the 

 appearance of being boiling, from the volume of perpetual- 

 ly rising bubbles of gas ; water is brackish, sulphureous 

 and chalybeate. There are seven other springs within a 

 circle of 6 miles, called Nuolukka, Kooaree Dudhee, Burma, 

 Sooruj, Chandur, and Seeta. Nuolukka is warm and 

 saline ; vapour ignites on the application of flame. Kooaree 

 is hoi, saline, sulphureous, and chalybeate; vapour ignites. 

 Dudhee, water is cold, salt ; vapour does not ignite. 

 Burma ( Brahma P ), very hot and saltish, slightly chaly- 

 beate ; vapour ignites. Chandra, or Chandur, is on a hill, 

 salt and exceedingly hot (" said to have appeared within 

 the last four months"). Seeta is pure, limpid water. — 

 Pogson, quoted in Corbyu's Ind. Jour. Med. Phys. Sci., 

 Vol. Ill or Vol. I, new series, page 156, &c. 



In British Burma there is an exceedingly numerous series of springs, 

 of the particulars of many of which we are unfortunately lamentably 

 ignorant.
