ABSTRACT

Compare also Alex. Hamilton, East Indfes, vol. i. p. 388, "From the dominions of Jagarynat [Jagannath] I came into those of Arsepore. The Town, where the Raja resided, is named after the Province, and there is a fine River that invites Strangers to frequent it for Cotton Cloth and Rice, that this Country affords in great Plenty." "Harrapore Sannoes [sanahsJ" were a class of cotton goods in great repute in T. B.'s time. Compare the following in a letter from Hugli to Balasor, dated 13th August, 1678, O. C. No. 4480, "Make enquiry among the Merchants whether ... Sannoes of Mohunpore, Harrapore, and Sura Sannos may not bee gotten cheaper." The author's "Point Conja-

guaree" is perhaps False Point, which is so called by the English because it is so -easily mIstaken for the important Point Palmyras. However, Horsburgh, India Directory, ed. 1855, vol. i. p. 604 says, "Near this place [the mouth of the Gonga, called also Cuttack River] other small branches of the Gonga fall into the sea, forming low islets, and this elbow, or projecting part of the coast, called Cojung Point, has sometimes been mistaken for the False Point, as, the shore from it takes a northerly direction 21 or 3 miles, forming a small, concavity in the land, nearly midway between the' Black Pagoda and False Point, called Cojung Bay~ ... ln the former charts of this coast, a bay, 3 leagues deep and 5 le~gues wide, was erroneously delineated in this part."
