1837.] Khoonds of the Goomsoor Mountains. 29 



To The Secretary to the Madras Literary Society. 



8fc. fyc. 8,-c. 

 Sir,— Any thing connected with the history of the tribes above the 

 Goomsoor ranges of mountains, being interesting at the present mo- 

 ment, I beg to send you a list of Khond (or Ghond) words, which 1 

 collected whilst up there. 



The Wodiah, I have also put down, which will render the list more 

 interesting, and enable those, better qualified than myself, to make 

 useful comparisons. To those passing through Wodiana into Khondistan 

 this little list may also be of some service. I have only to regret that 

 I cannot send you a more extended one. 



I have the honor to be, 

 Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 

 Samulcottaii, March 15, 1837. W. G. Maxwell, m. d.
