1. Spelled Siedpore in the author's text. 2. More correctly Brindâban (Vrindâvana). The name originally belongs to one of the most sacred spots in India, situated near Mathurâ (Muttra) on the Jumna, and the reputed scene of the dalliance between Krishna and the milkmaids (Gopîs); also associated with the legend Râma. 3. Twenty-seven miles north-west of Tehrî in the Orchhâ State. 4. The Tulasî plant, or basil, _Ocymum sanctum_, is 'not merely sacred to Vishnu or to his wife Lakshmî; it is pervaded by the essence of these deities, and itself worshipped as a deity and prayed to accordingly. . . . The Tulasî is the object of more adoration than any other plant at present worshipped in India. . . .It is to be found in almost every respectable household throughout India. It is a small shrub, not too big to be cultivated in a good-sized flower-pot, and often placed in rooms. Generally, however, it is planted in the courtyard of a well-to-do man's house, with a space round it for reverential circumambulation. In real fact the Tulasî is _par excellence_ a domestic divinity, or rather, perhaps, a woman's divinity' (M. Williams, _Religious Thought and Life in India_, p. 333). 5. The fossil ammonites found in India include at least fifteen species. They occur between Trichinopoly and Pondicherry as well as in the Himalayan rocks. They are particularly abundant in the river Gandak, which rises near Dhaulagiri in Nepâl, and falls into the Ganges near Patna. The upper course of this river is consequently called Sâlagrâmî. Various forms of the fossils are supposed to represent various _avatârs_ of Vishnu (Balfour, _Cyclopaedia_, 3rd ed., s.v. 'Ammonite', 'Gandak', 'Salagrama'; M. Williams, _Religious Thought and Life in India_, pp. 69, 349). A good account of the reverence paid to both _sâlagrâms_ and the _tulasî_ plant will be found in Dubois, _Hindu Manners_, &c., 3rd ed. (1906), pp. 648-51. 6. The author writes 'Himmalah'. The current spelling Himalaya is correct, but the word should be pronounced Himâlaya. It means 'abode of snow'. 7. The north-eastern corner of the Punjâb, an elevated valley along the course of the Spiti or the Li river, a tributary of the Satlaj. 8. Fossils of the genus Belemnites and related genera are common, like the ammonites, near Trichinopoly, as well as in the Himalaya. 9. This statement is not quite correct. The pebbles representing the Linga of Siva, called Bâna-linga, or Vâna-linga, and apparently of white quartz, which are found in the Nerbudda river, enjoy the same distinction. 'Both are held to be of their own nature pervaded by the special presence of the deity, and need no consecration. Offerings made to these pebbles--such, for instance, as Bilwa leaves laid on the white stone of Vishnu--are believed to confer extraordinary merit' (M. Williams, _Religious Thought and Life in India_, p. 69). 10. In 1814-16. 11. 'Sadora' in author's text, which seems to be a misprint for Ludora or Ludhaura.
