1848.] 



Observations made on a Botanical Excursion, 



403 



Felle, a gentleman attached to the Revenue department, whom I had 

 the pleasure of meeting at Sulkun, kindly escorting me to his residence 

 at Shugunj, and forwarding both myself and collections with camels 

 and elephants. 



Both the climate and natural history of this flat on which Sulkun 

 stands, are similar to those of the banks of the Soane ; the crops are 

 wretched, as are the people (Koles), an athletic-looking race however, 

 often armed with spear and shield. At this season the dryness of the 

 atmosphere is excessive. 



Before leaving the Soane valley to ascend the Kymaon portion of the 



Vindhya hills I shall give an abstract of the Meteorological observations 



taken since leaving Tura.
