At the foot of the hills refide a caft of people called Majlns; their cuf« 

 toms nearly refemble the Ganows; in religious matters they partake more 

 of the Hindus, as they will not kill a cow : their habitations arc built like 

 the houfes of the ryotts in general, but are better made, enclofed with a 

 court yard, kept remarkably neat and clean, the railing made of bam- 

 boos fplit, flatted, and joined together; the ftreets of their villages, equal the 

 neatnefs of their houfes. The men are of a dark complexion, well made 

 and flout ; their face nearly refembles the Garrow, though rather of a milder 

 look ; their drefs is the fame as that of the head peafants in Bengal, confin- 

 ing of a Bootee, Egpautah and Pugree, or waift-cloth, mantle, and turband* 



The women are remarkably neat and clean % their drefs confifts of one 

 cloth 3 made to go near twice round the body and to hang in folds, down to 

 the ankle, covers their breads, and paffes under their arms, and the ends 

 are tucked in as the waift-cloth of the natives of Bengal : their hair is tied on 

 the crown, and they have ear rings in the fame manner as the Garrow : 

 women, but no neck ornament*
