NOTICE REGARDING THE MAP.
WITH rGspGct to the construction of the map a very few words
will suffice. The journey which I performed in 1810 furnished me
with the grounds ot my recent inquiries on Beloochistan, and the
circumstance of my having accompanied the envoy to the court of
Sinde in 1810, with the basis of thosp on that province. The
routes of Captains Grant and Christie, as well as my own, are laid
down from original papers, except that the positions at which they
commenced and terminated having been, before or since, ascertained
by means of observations, I have adopted their actual latitudes and
longitudes. The native routes have been collected and compared
with the most scrupulous care. Each province was, in the first in
stance, exclusively the object of my inquiry, and when I had satisfied
myself on it, or was unable to obtain further information, I pro
ceeded to another, and eventually embodied the whole. Of some
of them I have projected six or seven different maps, and the method
I finally resorted to to prove their correctness was, to explain the
points of the compass to natives of particular districts, shew them
any stationary town or village, and desire to be informed, wher^
other towns of the same district lay. Whenever two of my inform
ants disagreed, and I had an opportunity of doing so, I confronted
them, and if they could not demonstrate on which part the error
lay, I suspended my judgment until I could find other people who
were acquainted with the disputed point. On some important places
I have had the combined testimony of upwards of one hundred
