[No. 1, 
W. Yost— The DogUm Mint . 
u Dang Dugoun ” is stated to be in the Raj of Hari Siggh. It goes 
on to relate that while largess was being distributed and festivities 
held in honour of the birth of the Raja’s son, Kliil, a jogi named 
Hardam had not been able to get food for two days and in consequence 
cursed the Raja’s kingdom. Khil at 5 years of age became a jog! and 
led a wandering life. Nothing about Bahraich is recorded in it. 
Bahraich and Gonda are frequently coupled together by natives 
when speaking of either. It is probable that “ Dang-Dugoun ” is another 
example. In the district maps Dang is shown in the neighbouring hills 
to the north. Dang-Saliana are now spoken of in the same way. In 
the ’Ain Akbari the only named mehal in the Bahraich Sarkar at all 
like Dogao in sound is Wankdun. For this Colonel Jarrett in a foot¬ 
note gives Dangdoun and adds “ almost every name has an alternative 
spelling.” Dangdoun I think may be a contracted form of Dang 
Dugoun.
