Teetbaddy.— A mixture of sand and earth. 



Chaunpore. — High ground, the banks of rivers or nullas, 

 where the rains do not settle. 



Serampore. — Sloping ground, which-is dry in the month of 

 October. 



Sonargong. — Produced only a small quantity on the banks 

 of rivers. 



Dumroy. — No Hemp is grown, the country being low. 

 Sylhet. — The borders of rivers, on grounds adjoining em- 

 bankments, and deserted land, on which habitations have been built. 



Jungypore. — A dry soil, such as is esteemed poor land in 

 Bengal. To the westward it is grown on high raised banks of tanks. 

 It will succeed on grounds which are incapable of bearing any other 

 crop. It cannot bear being overflowed with rain ; and one crop 

 entirely exhausts the soil on which it is planted, so that it must lie 

 fallow at least a year. 



The lands to the westward of Cossimbazar River are generally 

 of a stiff soil, inclining somewhat to clay, especially the higher 

 lands. It is likewise produced on low rich soils, such as are not 

 liable to be flooded ; but it is not very common to raise it on such 

 lands, as they are capable of yielding more productive crops. The 

 Ghore-Sunn, produced on rich land, is of a coarser and worse qua- 

 lity, than that of high dry situations.
