paces crofs a finall river, the water from which is made ufe of for ir- 

 rigating fome fleps of land fown with Aw&jau. At 6514 reach Tabla 

 Land ; a houfe of unburnt bricks about eighty yards to the left ; to the 

 S. four or five others, which conftitute the village of Gmgoul, formerly 

 tolerably populous, but now nearly deferted. It bears fk 60 W. 

 from our encampment at 6740, at which we arrived at two P. M. The 

 furze adjoining the Awajau fields, with fome fpringy land, formed a 

 :favourite refort to hares; and many Chakors* were.heardin the neigh-

 arrive at a pile of Hones with religious infcriptions carved upon 

 them. Ddbd looks larger from hence than from the approach to it on 

 the Niii road. We were welcomed by a croud of half naked dirty ragged 

 children in terms of friendfhip, and they were made happy for the 

 moment by a few fcraps of broken bifcuit and fome raiiins. We 

 proceeded to oar original encampment in the town, having completed 

 12,575 paces at 4* 40' P M. We thought it proper to inform the 

 Wazir and Diba of our arrival, and to enquire where it would be 

 agreeable to them that we fhould pay them a vifiti, to this a reply was
