that ability. The spinners, excepting those who make Appendix. 



the finest thread, in general prefer the Surat cotton to 



the dessy kupas, the last requiring trouble to separate the 



seeds from it, and the first being so far ready to their 



hands. 



Uses. 



In respect to their uses, the dessy kupas is particularly 

 adapted, for the reason which has been assigned to the 

 manufacturer of the finest thread ; yet it can be also spun 

 into the coarsest thread, it differing only from the coarse 

 thread made of inferior kupas in this, that it will be 

 more soft and strong. When it can be procured at Hur- 

 riaul it is preferred to all other kupas, and in the eastern 

 parts of the aurung is almost invariably used for the fine 

 and middling cossaes, the fine and superfine Immhums, 

 and in the fine and middling addatties. 



The byratty is principally used in the northern and 

 western parts of the aurung, and furnishes thread for the 

 ordinary and middling humhums, the cossaes forty and 

 two-and-a-quarter, and forty by three, and a small pro- 

 portion of cossaes by two-and-a-quarter. 



The bhoga furnishes no thread which is used in any of 

 the Company's assortments in Hurriaul ; it is applied to 

 the coarse cloths worn by natives. 



The Mirzapore, when dessy is not procurable, is used 

 for making thread for cloths of every assortment provided 

 for the Company ; but the superfine humhums made from 

 such thread are of an inferior kind, and cannot be made 

 to pass higher than the third letter. 



The Surat, when procurable, is used for making thread 

 for cloths of every assortment provided for the Company.
