attention from these very tribes, than I have ever experienced in other 

 parts of India. The chiefs (9 OmStis,) of their Pals, frequently visited 

 me — they appeared to have a great deal of curiosity, examined every 

 thing about my camp — asked various questions about the uses to which 

 they were applied, and on the whole, I was much pleased with the rude 

 inhabitants of this wild and mountainous portion of Hindustan. 



The route by which I have marched is not the common one, I have 

 no hesitation, however, in recommending it to travellers who may be pro- 

 ceeding from Bombay to Nimach, as by far the shortest and the best. 

 From JBaroda to Nimach, via Birpur and Salumbher, there are only 

 eighteen or nineteen ordinary marches. 



The accompanying section of the strata from Baroda to TJianna, I do 

 not offer as perfectly correct ; it will serve, however, to give a general 

 idea of the geology of the tract in question. In a plan on so small a scale, 

 I could only indicate the rocks which preponderate in particular situa- 

 tions, and no attempt has been made to lay down the beds of other rocks 

 with which these are associated, and with which they frequently alternate.
