29. Kakares, the principal cities being Dankalec and Purhola.  This country is very mountainous, and is divided from Tartary by the mountains of Caucasus, being the farthest north of any part of the Mogul dominions.—­In the map of Purchas, this province or kingdom is called Kares, and is placed directly to the north of where the Ganges breaks through the Sewalick mountains, above Hurdwar, at the Cow’s-mouth.  In that direction are the little-known districts of Serinagur, Badry-cazram, and others; but no names either of towns or districts that in the least resemble those given by Terry.—­E.

30. Gor, its chief city of the same name.  This province is full of mountains, and in it begins the river Persilis, which discharges its waters into the Ganges.—­In the other copy of this list in Purchas, so often already referred to, Gor is said to lie in the northern part of the Mogul dominions.  From this, and the mountainous nature of the country, as stated by Terry, it may possibly be Gorcah, one of the little-known twenty-four rajahs, to the west of Napaul; and the Persilis of Terry may be the Sursutty or the Marshandy, both head streams of the Gunduck.—­E.

31. Pitan, and its chief city so named.  The river Kanda waters this province, and falls into the Ganges on its confines.—­This is probably one of the twenty-four rajahs, called Peytahn, in the mountainous country to the north of Oude, which is watered by several of the head streams of the Gunduck and Booree or Rapty rivers.—­E.

32. Kanduana, the chief city of which is called Karhakatenka.  The river Sersili parts it from Pitan; and this province, with Pitan and Gor, are the north-east boundaries of this great monarchy.—­The indicated connection with Gor and Pitan, or Gorcah and Peytahn, would lead to suppose that Napaul is here meant.  Karhakatenka may possibly be some name of Catmandoo, or may have some reference to Kyraut, a district in the east of Napaul, bordering on Bootan.  The river Sersili of this district is evidently the Persilis mentioned in Gor, and may refer to the Sursutty.—­E.

33. Patna, the chief city of which has the same name.  The river Ganges bounds this province on the west, and the Sersilis on the east.  It is a very fertile province.—­In the former edition of this list by Purchas, this province is said to be watered by four rivers, the Ganges, Jumna, Sersili, and Kanda, all of which rivers here unite.  Patna is seated on the south side of the Ganges, which is joined a little way higher up by the Jumna.  Opposite to Patna the Gunduck falls into the Ganges, probably the Kanda of Purchas, of which the Sursutty, formerly supposed to be the same with the Sersili, or Persilis, is one of the feeders.  Patna is well known as a principal city of Bahar.—­E.

34. Jesual, the chief city of which is called Rajapore, lies east of Patna.—­This may possibly refer to the district and city of Hajipoor in Bahar, to the N.E. of Patna.—­E.
