Archaeological Survey, N. W. P. — During the cold season of 1887-88, 

 whilst Mr. E. W. Smith and the draftsmen were engaged at Jaunpur in 

 making detailed drawings of the Jami Masjid, Dr. Fiihrer visited the 

 districts of Partabgarh, Rai Bareli, Unao, Kanhpur, Fathpur and Hardoi 

 in search of ancient sites visited by the Chinese Buddhist pilgrims Fa 

 Hian and Hiuen Tsiang. On topographical grounds and from a calcula- 

 tion of distances, he identifies Tushdran-Bihdr, in the Partabgarh district, 

 with ELayamukha ; Jagatpur, in the Rai Bareli district, with O-yu-to ; 

 and Kankur with the stupa and samghdrdma of Vdsubandhu, which 

 Hiuen Tsiang places at 40 li to the north-west of O-yu-to ; Nawal, near 

 Bangarmau in the Unao district, with Navadevalcula ; and Sanchdn- 

 Jcot, in the same district, with the capital of the Shdchi, mentioned by Fa 

 Hian. 



A careful search along the banks of the Arind river resulted in the 

 discovery of several old temples illustrating the brick architecture pre- 

 valent in the Doab during the ninth and tenth centuries ; viz., at Bdri- 

 JBhitari, Paroli, Bar, Simbhud, Behta-Bedond, Khurdd, Kanchlipur, and 

 Sarhdr- Amanli, in the Kanhpur district. The sikhara of these temples 

 is of elaborately moulded brick, whilst the cella which it covers is of 

 carved stone, in the same style as the Chandela temples at Khajuraho. 

 These temples, besides those at Bahud and TindaU in the Fathpur dis- 

 trict, are the only surviving specimens of this once flourishing architec- 

 ture in Northern India. 



Persian and Arabic inscriptions were collected at Manikpur, Dul- 

 man, Safipur, Bangarmau, Mallawan and Bilgram, which will be pub- 

 lished in the forthcoming numbers of the Epigraphia Indica. 



Later in the season the whole Survey Party visited the Rohilkkaud 

 Division, viz., the districts of Shabjahanpur, Pilibhit, Bareli, Badaon, 

 and Muradabad. Whilst Mr. E. W. Smith and the staff were engaged 

 in preparing detailed drawings of the Jami Masjid at Badaon, Dr. 

 Fiihrer visited Gola-Raipur, which he identifies with the Hi-lo of Fa 

 Hian ; and Mati in the Shahjahanabad district ; several ruined fortified 

 cities buried in the Government Forests near Dhanaraghat, Suapara, 

 and Shahgarh of the Pilibhit district ; the ancient sites near Pachomi 

 (Panchbhumi), Gwala Prasiddh, Attar Chhendi, and Ramnagar (the 

 Buddhist Ahichhattra) in the Bai'eli district ; Badaon (Voddmayutd), 

 Sahaswan (Sahasrabdhunagara) , and Kot Salbahau in the Badaon dis-
