h soil may be seen
passing into _regar_, but, as a rule, the black soil is confined to
the flatter ground at the bottom of the valleys, or on flat hill-
tops, the brown or red soils occupying the slopes' (ibid. p. 433).

4. Johnson, in his _Journey to the Western Islands_, observes: 'Now
and then we espied a little corn-field, which served to impress more
strongly the general barrenness.' [W. H. S.] The remark referred to
the shores of Loch Ness (p. 237 of volume viii of Johnson's Works,
London, 1820).

5. By this awkward phrase the author seems to mean Lucknow, on the
east, the capital of the kingdom of Oudh, and Udaipur, to the west,
the capital of the long-descended chieftain of Mewar. Alternatively,
the author may possibly have referred to Agra and Gwalior, rather
than Lucknow and Udaipur.

6. 'The new city at Gwalior below the fortress is, like the city of
Jhansi, known as the 'Lashkar', or camp. The old city of Gwalior
encircles the north end of the fortress. The new city, or Lashkar,
lies to the south, more than a mile distant. In January, 1859, the
population of the two cities together amounted to 142,044 persons
(_A.S.R._, vol. ii, p. 331).

7. Only those readers who have lived in India can fully understand
the reasons why the pigs should frequent such a place, and how great
would be the horrors of encamping in it.

8. In the description of the author's encampment at Gwalior, he fell
into a mistake, which he discovered too late for correction in his
journal. His tents were not pitched within the Phul Bagh, as he
supposed, but without; and seeing nothing of this place, he imagined
that the dirty and naked ground outside was actually the flower-
garden. The Phul Bagh, however, is a very pleasing and well-ordered
garden, although so completely secluded from observation by lofty
walls that many other travellers must have encamped on the same spot
without being aware of its existence. (_Publishers' note at end of
volume ii of original edition_. )

9. Bhilsa is the principal town of the Isagarh subdivision in the
Gwalior State. The famous Buddhist antiquities near it are described
at length in Cunningham, _The Bhilsa Topes, or Buddhist Monuments of
Central India_ (1854), and in Maisey, _Sanchi and its Remains. A full
Description of the Ancient Buildings, Sculptures, and Inscriptions at
Sanchi, near Bhilsa, in Central India_. With an Introductory Note by
Major-General Sir Alexander Cunningham, K.C.I.E. (1892).
