7. The following districts to be ceded to his Majesty the Emperor — 
A. In the Uttarkol. 
(a.) Sirkar Durang, bounded by Oawahatti on one side, and by the All 
Burari,* which passes Fort Chamdhurah, on the other side. 
K. In the Dale hinkol. 
(a.) The district of Nakirani (<_s> | 
(h.) The Naga Hills. 
(c.) 1 Sol tal!

8. All inhabitants of Kamrup kept as prisoners by the Rajah in the 
hills and in Namrup to be restored ; so also the family of Badli Phulian. 
The districts of the Dak’hinkol that were ceded, have at no previous 
time formed part of his Majesty’s empire. Nakirani [Deshrani] lies near 
the Garo Hills. The Garos are a wild tribe excessively fond of dog’s flesh. J 
If a dog sees a Garo, it will instinctively howl and rim away. Their hills 
are also near Kalahari, which belongs to the empire. 
Dumuriah extends as far as the Kulang Eiver, which flows at the foot of 
Fort Kajli. Hence as the Ali Burari forms the boundary between the empire 
and A'sam in the Uttarkol, so does the Kulang form the boundary in the 
Dak’hinkol. 
Durang is a country full of wild elephants and k’hedalis for catching 
them. Once Jaidhaj captured no less than one hundred and twenty elephants. 
In the territory of the Rajah of Dumuriah elephants were formerly found. 
It borders on Kachhar, from which the elephants used to come into Du- 
muriah ; but the Kachhar Rajah having put a stop to the migrations of 
the elephants, no k’hedahs are now-a-days found in the Dumuriah. 
The above conditions of peace were accepted, and the treaty was mutually 
signed. After some delay caused by an attempt at cheating in the hostages, 
the Rajah sent, on the 5th Jumada II., [4th January, 1963] his daughter, the 
gold and silver, ten elephants, and the hostages to the Nawab, and promised to 
send. thirty elephants more to Lak’hugar. The gold and silver was put into the 
treasury, the hostages were given to Dilir Khan to take charge of, and the

Temple, Central A'aam. 
f Vide p. 76, last note. It seems to be the same as Deshrani, because Deshrani, 
Desh Dumuriah, and Desh Beltalah are mentioned together. They belong to Thanah 
Gawahatti, and lie south of it. Vide also Kobinson’s Asam, p. 289, 
By “ Naga Hills” the Mildr and Bengmah Naga hills appear to be meant. 
$ Most of tho wild Asameso tribes eat dogs, The custom is to hang up the dog 
and force large quantities of boiled rice down its throat. When it is swollen up, it 
is suspended over a fire and slowly roastod. The rice is said to be ” delicious.”
