A tallookdar, however, when opposed to his government, does not venture to attack another tallookdar or his tenants.

He stands too much in need of his aid, or at least of his neutrality and forbearance.
_January_ 18, 1850 .-- Halted at Sundeela.

To the north of the town there is a large uncultivated plain of _oosur_ land, that would answer for cantonments; but the water lies, for some time after rain, in many places.

The drainage is defective, but might be made good towards a rivulet to the north and west.

There is another open plain to the west of the town, between the suburbs and the small village of Ausoo Serae, where the Trigonometrical Survey has one of its towers.
It is about a mile from east to west, and more from north to south, and well adapted for the location of troops and civil establishments.
The climate is said to be very good.
