104 The District of Ludidna. [No. 2, 



ground apartments. There is a large number of wells, and each of 

 them has a chamber connected with it. The Sikhs have built a 

 Grurdiwara on the spot where Grovind Sing's two sons were murdered. 



These extensive ruins, which bear a melancholy testimony to the 

 departed grandeur of Muhammadan rule, have been sold by the Raja 

 of Patiala as " ballast" for the use of the Railway. Strange to say 

 coins or trinkets are seldom found in excavating, nor could I discover 

 a single inscription on any one of the thousand tombs and houses 

 which cover the ground. 



About 20 miles from Sarhind is another old Muhammadan city call- 

 ed Pail, of which also frequent mention is made in Farishta. This 

 is still an imposing old city, but presents, like Sarhind, the appearance 

 of desolation, though it is not like Sarhind a ruin. 



I send herewith two packets of coins. Those marked A are mis- 

 cellaneous, but were collected chiefly in the Ludiana district ; of 

 those marked B., one I believe or perhaps more than one was found 

 at Sunet. [Vide Proceedings, Asiatic Society Bengal, for June, I860.]
