Many incidents in these journeys would require no aid of imagination to touch on the romantic, but they can have no place here. Footnote 1.9: Eastern tableland. Footnote 1.10: Sind River. Footnote 1.11: Parbati River. Footnote 1.12: Kali Sind River. Footnote 1.13: Passage of the Chambal and junction of the Par. Footnote 1.14: The Shaikh brought me specimens of the rock, which is siliceous; and also a piece of brick of the very ancient fortress of Sehwan, and some of the grain from its pits, charred and alleged by tradition to have lain there since the period of Raja Bhartarihari, the brother of Vikramaditya. It is not impossible that it might be owing to Alexander’s terrific progress, and to their supplies being destroyed by fire. Sehwan is conjectured by Captain Pottinger to be the capital of Musicanus. [The capital of the Sogdoi has been identified with Alor or Aror; but Cunningham places it between Alor and Uchh. The capital of Mousikanos was possibly Alor, and Sehwān the Sindimana of the Greeks. But, owing to changes in the course of the Lower Indus, it is very difficult to identify ancient sites (McCrindle, _Alexander_, 157, 354 f.).] Footnote 1.15: His health was worn out at length, and he became the victim of depressed spirits. He died suddenly: I believe poisoned. Fateh, almost as zealous as Madari, also died in the pursuit. Geography has been destructive to all who have pursued it with ardour in the East. Footnote 1.16: A valuable and ancient work, which I presented to the Royal Asiatic Society. Footnote 1.17: It is, however, limited to Malwa, whose geography was greatly improved and enlarged by the labours of Captain Dangerfield; and though my materials could fill up the whole of this province, I merely insert the chief points to connect it with Rajasthan. Footnote 1.18: Captain P. T. Waugh, 10th Regiment Light Cavalry, Bengal. Footnote 1.19: Mr. J. B. Fraser [whose book was published in 1825]. Footnote 1.20: My last journey, in 1822-23, was from Udaipur, through these countries towards the Delta of the Indus, but more with a view to historical and antiquarian than geographical research. It proved the most fruitful of all my many journeys. [The results are recorded in _Travels in Western India_, published in 1839, after the author’s death.] Footnote 1.21: Guru Sikhar. Footnote 1.22: Its classic name is _Vetravati_, _Vetra_ being the common willow [or reed] in Sanskrit; said by Wilford to be the same in Welsh. Footnote 1.23: Literally ‘the central (_madhya_) flat.’ [It means ‘Land of the Med tribe.’] Footnote 1.24:
