Ryjee Sihng, a Bhaut in the Zinore Purgunna. 



This Bhaut was a native of Serulah in Zinore; the head of one of the 

 chief families in that very extraordinary trihe of bards and heralds, de- 

 scribed in the Memoirs: and the principal security for the Gracia chief- 

 tains in Guzerat. 



LXXXV. 



View of Cubbeer Burr, the celebrated Banian Tree., near Baroche. 



This sketch, which I drew on stone, represents the general appearance 

 of this wonderful specimen of the Ficus Indica, so often mentioned in 

 these Memoirs, of which a finished engraving has been given in the first 

 volume, to accompany the fullest description. The sketch was taken 

 from the bank of the Nerbudda, opposite to the island on which this beau- 

 tiful tree has flourished for so many ages, and presents a correct outline 

 of this celebrated oriental production. 



LXXXVI. 



Ramifications of a Banian Tree, drawn from Nature. 



During the many sultry hours passed under the shade of Cubbeer Burr, 

 when the hot winds prevailed in the surrounding atmosphere, I amused 

 myself by sketching the singular roots and extraordinary ramifications of 

 this umbrageous canopy: from a number of these sketches I selected the 

 present, to make a drawing on stone, by way of multiplying the original 

 sketch for my friends. As such, with the Keura, Baya, and a few other 

 polygraphic attempts on stone, it is introduced into this work.
