 to Nagpore across the elevated district of Seuni, which separates 

 the Nerbudda from Berar. 



From Nagpore I travelled via Chandra and Badrachellum along 

 the Godavery valley to the sea-coast near Rajahinuudry, where I 

 arrived on the 1st of February. The latter road was especially

 territory down the Godavery to the Eastern Ghauts, and of ex-
