Vocabulary of Goand and Cole Words. From Dr. Voysey's MSS. 

 Bllichpoor, 1 6th December, 1821. 



We took the Goand, our guide, with us down the hill to our tents, for 

 the purpose of examining him more closely, and writing a small Voca- 

 bulary of his language. He spoke Hindoosthanee and Marhatta with 

 great fluency, and we found not the slightest difficulty in making him 

 understand us. I asked him his diet, to which he replied, buffalo's flesh, 

 hog's flesh, &c. There was some equivocation concerning his eating cow's 

 flesh, which he first admitted and afterwards denied; his objects of 

 worship were Aboo Bekker below the hill, and Baum Deo upon the 

 hill. The following is the vocabulary of words : —
