trifling ; and in the rains, the time when coal could be sent down, even
that would be diminished.

I arrived at Baroach on the 1st August, having accomplished
the whole distance from Mundlaisir in eleven days, during which I
was 102-|- hours actually under way. The distance between Dhurmkai
above Hirn Phal, and Mookree, about 80 miles, occupied 21^ hours
only, although spread over nearly five days.
18. The various reports referred to in this Memorandum—Colonel
Ousely’s, Captain Anderson’s, and Lieutenant Elwan’s—I have quoted
from a resume made by Mr. Shakespear, Assistant Secretary to Govern
ment N. W. P., entitled “ Notes on the Navigation of the Nerbudda,”
and which, with the map accompanying, require to be referred to to
render this intelligible.

Dated Mundlaisir, 6th August, 1847.
Sir, I have the honor to inform you that, according to your sug
gestions, I left Mundlaisir on the 29th of July, and proceeded to-
wards Dauree, to see if a road could be made along either bank of
the Nerbudda so as to circumvent the falls opposite that place.
2. Leaving Burwai on the 30th of July, I proceeded to Seylanee,
a distance of 14 miles, by the road lately cleared. About six miles from
Burwai the jungle becomes a forest, and continues so to Dauree,
which is 18 miles from Seylanee. *
* I am by no means certain that a road would be requisite at Beytala.
