SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE. 



Report on the Progress of the Magnetic Survey, and of the Re- 

 searches connected ivith it, from November 1855 to April 1856. 

 By Robert Schlagintweit. 



General Outline of the Route. 



My brother, Adolphe, and I left Agra on the 29th of November 

 1855, and went through Dholpore and Chanda to Gwalior. We 

 proceeded thence through a part of Bundlekund, by Dutteeah, 

 Jhansi, Tehri, and Dhamoonee to Saugor, which we reached on 

 the 4th of December. 



From Saugor we took different routes. Adolphe proceeded by 

 Dhumow to Nagpore and Madras. I left Saugor on the 19th of 

 December, and proceeded by Maharajpore and Bermhan to Nur- 

 singpore, on the left side of the Nerbudda valley ; from thence I 

 proceeded by Jhansi Ghaut and Meergunge to Jubbulpore, where I 

 arrived on the 30th December. 



The route which I followed from Saugor to Jubbulpore afforded 

 me the gratifying opportunity of examining the large deposits of 

 fossil remains of elephants, rhinoceros, hippopotami, &c, which 

 are exposed on the sides of the Nerbudda valley, and I have been 

 able to obtain a tolerably good collection of specimens.
