In tlie three principal towns in Sind, the preparation
and distribution of title-deeds is all that remains to
be done. In Ahmedabad good progress was made
during the year in the work of inquiry, whilst in the two
towns in Dharwdr into which the survey has been intro
duced, the measurements and plans are nearly ready, but
inquiry into titles has been delayed on account of the
inability of G-overnment to depute an officer to conduct
it, as long as there remained any pressure of work in
the districts lately affected by famine.
Five parties of the Topographical Survey were at work Great Tri
in different parts of this Presidency during 1878-79. ^Survey
One of these was in Kbandesh, two were in the Deccan of India,
and two in Gujarat. The aggregate out-turn of work A.—Topo.
was 642 square miles completely surveyed on a scale of 9 ra P ]mal '
one-inch to a mile; 7,100 square miles of country were
completed on the two-inch and 720 on the four-inch
scale. The operations also included the triangulation of
7,316 square miles in advance, a survey of the Dhond
and Manmad State Railway, as well as those on a large
scale of the towns of Sangamner and Satara. Work was
carried on in the British districts of Khindesh, Ahmed-
nagar, Sholapur, Satara, Poona, Ahmedabad, Kaira, and
Surat, and in the Native States of Janjira, the Rewa
Kantha, the Mahi Kantha, Bansda, Baroda, the Sat4ra
JAglrs, and the peninsulas of Kathiawar and Cutch.
The tidal observations commenced under this depart- B.—Tidal
ment last year have been carefully conducted at the ports ‘ ,ev6 ' , ~
of Bombay, Kurrachee, Kirwir and Aden, and tables will
be prepared for all these places by 1881, if not before.
Some delay occurred in setting up the new apparatus
at Aden, and in obtaining a similar set of instruments
for the Kurrachee Harbour, at which some observations
have been recorded for the last ten years. Those taken
at Karwar have already been utilized in the preparation
of the chart of that harbour. Levelling operations began
this season on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway
south of Poona, and the line was carried to Satara, where
