67,000, and that quasi official authority, the " Bengal and Agra Gazet- 

 teer" for 1841, gives them at 1,40,000. 



No wool or neozas are levied as revenue, vol. I, p. 7, neither are 

 raisins demanded, but the lands attached to forts supply the wants of the 

 Raja. In stating this, I do not mean that the Raja does not make his 

 people supply him with fruits, but merely that the taxes, proper and 

 understood, do not include them. 



Punishment. — For crimes and misdemeanours, people are hanged, 

 mutilated and imprisoned, as well as fined, vol. I, p. 7-8. 



Sarahan. — Sarahan, vol. I, p. 10, is not in Kunawar, but in Dassow. 

 The boundary of the two districts is the Murad Ghat, above Sarahan. 



The Juniper. — The juniper, vol. I, p. 29, is called lewr about Ram- 

 pur, shur in Kunawar, and shukpa in Bhot ; and not lewr and shur 

 in the last named districts respectively. 



The Gigantic Chakor. — The gigantic chakor, vol. I, p. 37, is not 

 called bheir in Kunawaree. It is so called about Rampur. In Lower 

 Kunawar, it is called lipaia ; in Upper Kunawar, kuleh ; and in 

 Bhotee, gungmo or homo. 



Apricots. — Leeo is not the last village towards Pitti where apricots 

 occur, vol. I, p. 41. At Shalkar there are abundance of fair apricots, 

 and also some trees at Sumra, twenty miles above Lio ; but there the 

 fruit scarcely comes to maturity. 



Changgo, declining. — The picture of Changgo, vol. I, p. 41, is over- 

 drawn. There are now 121 souls in it, that is, 21 more thorn when Cap- 

 tain Hutton said it was so populous. Its decline is not continuous, but 

 may have been temporary, i. e. some poor families may have gone 

 away for a season or two. It now produces more than its people eat. 

 A rotation of crops is practised in Changgo, and the inhabitants have 

 a very fair proportion of cattle, which they graze towards their out- 

 village of Changrezing. The fields of bare and hardened sand are 

 still occasionally cultivated, but one crop exhausts them, or their pro- 

 duce is weakly, and of no value. 



The Para. — The Para river, vol. I, p. 45, does not in all probability 

 come from the Chumorenil lake, see As. Res. XVIII, Pt. II. 259, 

 and Moorcroft, II, 52. 



Frost Rivers. — The severity of frost can scarcely affect the supply of 

 water to a river, as Capt. Hutton supposes with reference to the Pitti,
