1. Deorî, in the Sâgar district, about forty miles south-east of Sâgar. In 1767, the town and attached tract called the Panj Mahâl were bestowed by the Peshwâ, rent-free, on Dhôndo Dattâtraya, a Marâtha pundit, ancestor of the author's friend. The Panj Mahal was finally made part of British territory by the treaty with Sindhia in 1860, and constitutes the District called Pânch Mâhals in the Northern Division of the Bombay Presidency. The vernacular word _pânch_ like the Persian _panj_, means 'five'. The title Sarîmant appears to be a popular pronunciation of the Sanskrit _srîmant_ or _srîmân_, 'fortunate', and is still used by Marâthâ nobles. 2. _Ante_, Chapter 16, note 6. The name is here erroneously printed 'Dhamoree' in the author's text. 3. He had good reason for his gratitude, inasmuch as the depression in rents was merely temporary. 4. An Indian chief is generally accompanied into the room by a confidential follower, who frequently relieves his master of the trouble of talking, and answers on his behalf all questions. 5. When Agrippina, in her rage with her son Nero, threatens to take her stepson, Britannicus, to the camp of the Legion, and there assert his right to the throne, she invokes the spirit of his father, whom she had poisoned, and the manes of the Silani, whom she had murdered. 'Simul attendere manus, aggerere probra; consecratum Claudium, infernos Silanorum manes invocare, et tot invita fari nova.'- (Tacitus, lib, xviii, sec. 14.) [W. H. S.] The quotation is from the _Annals_. Another reading of the concluding words is 'et tot irrita facinora', which gives much better sense. In the author's text 'aggerere' is printed 'aggere'. 6. A small principality, detached from the Pannâ State. Its chief town is about one hundred miles north-east of Jubbulpore, on the route from Allahabad to Jubbulpore. The state is now traversed by the East Indian Railway. It is under the superintendence of the Political Agent of Baghêlkhand, resident at Rîwâ. 7. This pass is sixty-three miles south-east of Allahabad, on the road from that city to Rîwâ. 8. These myths are based on the well-known facts that man-eating tigers are few, and exceptionally wary and cunning. The conditions which predispose a tiger to man-eating have been much discussed. It seems to be established that the animals which seek human prey are generally, though not invariably, those which, owing to old wounds or other physical defects, are unable to attack with confidence the stronger animals. The conversations given in the text are excellent illustrations of the mode of formation of modern myths, and of the kind of reasoning which satisfies the mind of the unconscious myth- maker.
