12. Sailak presents some difficulty. In O. Gr. i. 92, it is said to have 
comprised the present parganahs of Bado Sarai, Bamnagar and Muham- 
madpnr, as well as a tract described as Lalpur-Bampur-Mathura, which 
probably is on the tongue of land at the junction of the Grhogra and Chauka 
rivers now in South Kundri parganah. But if this is correct it is difficult 
to understand where to put the Bhitauli parganah of Sarkar Lakhnau. 
Either Sailak must have consisted of two parts, one (Bado Sarai) lying 
to the south of Bhitauli, and another consisting of the remaining par¬ 
ganahs to the north of it, or else Bhitauli must have been cut in two by 
Sailak. In the map I have adopted the latter supposition which seems 
more in accordance with the history. The two parganahs of Bhitauli 
and Sailak are, however, very much mixed up throughout the Muham¬ 
madan period, indeed they are occasionally spoken of as identical, and I 
shall be glad if any local officer will throw some light on the subject. 
Unfortunately the author of the Bara Banki S. R. omits all historical 
and geographical details, and the Gazetteer does not supply the omission. 
The portion of this Suhah which is included in Bara Banki is conse¬ 
quently the most difficult of all to restore. 
13. Sultanpur was that part of the present parganah of that name 
which lies on the right hank of the Gumti, that part which is on the left 
bank was formerly known as Bilahri (see No. 6) a name which includes 
also Baraunsa. The southern portion is known as Sultanpur Miranpur 
or Kathot, a name not found in the Ain. 
14. Satanpur and Kishni (No. 19) now compose parganah Jagdispur 
in Sultanpur district. 
16. Sarwapali is now Amsin in Faizahad district. 
19. See No. 14. 
21. I cannot find this place. Mr. Millett in his valuable reconstruc¬ 
tion of this Sarkar has omitted Nos. 20 and 21. In O. G. i. 462 it is said 
to be the same as Iltifatganj, hut the position of this place is not indicated. 
Three modern parganahs in this part of the country (Bara Banki 
again !) are obscure. 
i. Mawffi Maholara. This seems from 0. G. ii. 494 to have been 
created out of parts of Rudauli and Basorhi, and I have accordingly m 
the map divided it between them. 
ii. Surajpiir. Lies between Daryabad of Sarkar Audh and Sid- 
dhaur of Sarkar Lakhnau. In the O. G. in two places (iii. 332, and iii 
447) it is said to have been in existence under that name in the time of 
Akbar, but it does not occur in the Ain. It appears to have been in¬ 
cluded under Daryabad and I have while waiting for further information 
shewn it so in the map. 
iii. Partahganj, This is admittedly a modern parganah, and I have
