Editor's Note: — Many of the observations recorded in the succeeding pages of the 
Journal have been incorporated in RennelV s ‘ Memoir of a Map of Hindoostan 
and in his 1 Description of the Roads in Bengal and Behar ’, a small volume printed 
in 1778 “ by order of the Honourable the Court of Directors.” The routes inserted 
in the latter volume are indicated by the numbers in brackets. I have also added 
in brackets the modern spelling of some of the names , where it seemed necessary.
