the perianth will be calyx; one reason for adopting
this supposition, besides the axillary bodies, is that there is no
gradation between the small concave leaves of the calyx, and the outer
series of the perianth.

_November 1st_.--Halted for fishing: Cyorinus Mrigala, is the _Mhoori_
of these parts; it grows to a large size, is a handsome fish, and is
indeed considered the king of fishes by the Punjabees. The intestines
are in longitudinal folds of extremely small comparative diameter, and
enormous length; in a large specimen it is twenty-three times the length
of the body. The intestines of the _Mahaseer_ are on the other hand only
two and a quarter times the length of the body!

Of the fish obtained, two are Perilamps, here called _Rohi_,

5 or 6 Cyprinides,
4 or 5 Siluri,
2 Ophiocephali,
1 Esox.
Indeed I obtained a list of twenty-four species.

_2nd_.--To Goograuwala, twenty-four and a half miles, over a fine
populous generally cultivated country. Goograuwala is a large town,
having the streets paved with brick like those of Wuzerabad. Cactus very
common; _Kikkur_ (Mimosa) is the chief tree here about the _Fukeer's_
abodes. The Banyan also occurs.

Peganum and Kochia of Jallalabad continue. There is a fort of some size
close to this town, built of mud; the ditch is unfinished, and not deep,
it has a fau-se-braie, with bastions like those at Peshawur and Jumrood.
The surface of the ground is much broken close up to it, the earth being
taken away for bricks.

_3rd_.--Proceeded to Koori, an inconspicuous village, belonging to M.
Court; it is surrounded by extensive plains, on which a tall grass occurs
to a great extent. Distance twenty-eight and a half miles, the time
taken for to-day's journey was six and a quarter hours.

The country is precisely similar to that previously noticed, the only new
feature being the grassy plains, in which at some little distance from
Koori, deer, partridge, hares, etc. are said to abound.

A sissoo-like tree is not uncommon.

_4th_.--To Shah Durrah, twenty-three and a half miles at Nunzul, eight
miles from Shah Durrah, a fort with ditch out of repair was passed, at
Koori ten miles from Shah Durrah, passed a deep Nullah called Baghbuchah,
with high banks, thence entered on a tract of country covered with
Saccharum, (_Moong_), from which ropes are made; (this is the same as the
Chuch species,) we next entered on cultiva
