larly described in the Memoirs. One hundred thousand figures of different 

 kinds would fall far short of the number sculptured on its walls and 

 towers. 



LXII. 



Peasants at a Well in Hindostan. 



The engraving was made from a drawing by Baron de Montalembert, 

 and is an exact representation of the subject. The ox carries a double 

 skin filled with water, hanging on each side, which is sold in the cities and 

 towns throughout India at a very moderate price. 



LXIII. 



The Indian Squirrel and Tamarind. 



These are both of the natural size and colours. There are larger squirrels 

 in India, more like those in Europe; but the little beauty here delineated 

 is common in every town and village throughout Hindostan; perfectly 

 familiar in the houses and gardens of natives and Europeans : the stripes 

 are sometimes of a darker brown. The tamarind leaves and blossoms 

 are of the usual standard; the fruit is shorter than is generally seen, on 

 account of the size of the plate. 



LXIV. 



Grains in Guzerat. Chena, Buntee, Codra, Natchnce. 



The early grains were all drawn from nature, at the commencement of 

 the different harvests in the Dhuboy Purgunna. The Linnean names, 

 and specific distinctions are mentioned in the work: their varied tints, 

 and rich appearance add much to the beauty of the luxuriant plains of 

 Guzerat. These grains are all reaped, in what is called the first harvest, 

 commencing soon after the periodical rains are over.
