Curygong or Gurrygong ■’ is situated on y e little River Dherla, which has its 
Source in y e Bootan (Badtan) Countrey & falls into y e Baramputrey on 
y e west side about one day or 20 miles above Chilmary. The Place’s Name 
where y e River joins y e BarampU is Bagway or Boggua. The Dherla is 
navigable for large Boats all y e Year. Course fr. y e WC & WNW. Cury- 
gong is situated with respect to Chilmary WNW or NW disk 30 miles, 
or one day Journey for a Cossid. It is said to be nearly y e same distance 
from Dewangunge as from Chilmary. 
Rungpour lies SW or South Westerly from Curygong, y e distance one day’s 
Journey for a Cossid or 25 or 30 miles. (14 Coss said to be). There is a 
good Road all y e way. Rungpour is 4 days Cossid from Muxadabad. 
Curesa is 6^ Coss to y e N. w d - of Curygong, & lies on y e frontier of Baar. 4, 
Tangrapara 6 © 78 near it. Mount Sosong E 6°-io' N or True E 7 0 - 5' N. 
Rungpour lies from the Mouth of the Teesta Creek near Manusmerra W 23°-3o'

From Tytari W 13 0 N 16-5. 
The Estimated Distance from Rungpour to 
Olyapour is 12^ Coss. The true distance by the Road 
is 24 Miles, & the distance on a Fine 22 - 2, so that a 
Coss must be reckoned about i-8 Miles on a streight 
Fine. By y e Roads it nearly agrees with 2 Miles, 
the common Calculation. 6
