Notes on Jumeera Pat, in Sirgooja. — By Capt. R. T. Leigh, Senior 

 Assistant to the Commissioner of CJwta Nagpore. 



Jumeera Pat is situated in Sirgooja, about nine miles within the 

 boundary line of that province and the district of Chota Nagpore. 

 It is about 100 miles nearly due west from the station of Chota 

 Nagpore, and lies between 23° 15' and 23° 40' N. Lat. and 4° and 

 4° 30' W. Long, from Calcutta. Sherghatty is situated about 100 

 miles to the N. E., and Mirzapore about 160 miles to the N. W. 

 To the north is Palamow, and to the south Oodeypoor. 



Jumeera is the name of a small village and the word " pat" means 

 a " plain," or, " table-land." 



The road from Chota Nagpore is good as far as Joormoo, which 

 is about eleven miles from Jumeera Pat. In some few places it is 

 rather difficult for wheeled-conveyances, the banks of some of the 

 nullahs being very steep. Such parts might be made quite practica- 

 ble for carts, in the dry season, when the quantity of water in the 

 nullahs is very small. In the rainy season these streams rise con- 

 siderably and are not passable by carts. About a mile beyond 

 Joormoo the first ghaut occurs, the ascent of which for a short 

 distance (rather less than quarter of a mile perhaps) is very steep, 

 and quite impracticable for wheeled-carriages. After reaching the 

 top of this ghaut, the road is more or less hilly until within a short 

 distance of the village of Korndah. A large tree on the left hand
