Revised List of Anfiquiiies in fiie 
Ciiicacoie Taluq. 
(By THE Rev. J. E. HrTCHIXSON.) 
The Ohicacole taluq is one of considerable interest from 
an archaeological point of view. Here, of old time, was the 
seat of government of the Kalinga dynasty, one of the most 
ancient of India's kingdoms; here are still to be seen the 
remains of a fort, of which mention is made in the Visluui 
Pio-dna and Malta Bhdrata, and here are some of the most 
curious of the ancient and rather infrequent rock cuttings of 
the plains. 
The following list is prepared after a five years' acquaint- 
ance with the taluq (which is not large), and may be 
depended upon as accurate. The writer has in nearly every 
instance verified the description by personal examination. 
It does not, however, purport to be a complete list. Time 
will undoubtedly disclose many more objects of interest.
