TnIS Gazetteer has been clmpile:l on tho basis of the Statistical Account of Hazaribagh, whieh was prepared about 1875 under the sup3rvision of Sir 'Villiam IIunter. It follows closely the form of the corresponding volume on lIan.bhum which was written by Mr. II. Coupland, I.C.S., and much of its matter has heen suggested by the gazetteers of :Uanbhum and Gaya.. In addition to published books, which have been indicat­ ed in the appropriate places, valuable original contribu­ tions havo been received on special subjects from the Rov. S. L. Thompson (Botany), Mr. L. L. Fermor (Gener­ al Geology), lire Thomas H. "\Val'd (Giridih Coal-field), Mr. G. C. Lathbury (Bokaro Colliery), Dr. A. Jowett (Karanpura Valley), lIr.E. Lane (Mica), Mr. C. J. n. ,\Vight Boycott (Emigration), the Rev. J. C. Forrester (Anglican lIission), the Rev. J. A. Dyer (U. F. Church of Scotland Mission), and Habu Bisheshvar Mukharji (Agriculturo). The statistics of the recent years have been compiled by Babu J. C. Datta, Deputy Magistrate and Collector of Hazaribagh. Extracts from or references to the Settlement Report of lIazaribagh appear throughout the book, and I take this opportunity of acknowledging my great indebtedness to its author, Mr. J. D. Sifton, I.C.S'l late Settlement Officer of Chota. Nagpur. E. LISTER. The 151h July 1917. PLAN OF CONTENTS.

REPORT TOURS IN THE GANGETIC PROVINCES FROM BADAON TO BIHAR, IN 1875-76 AND 1877-78. BY ALEXANDER CUNNINGHAM, C.S.I., C.I.E., MAJOR-GENERAL, ROYAL ENGINEERS [BENGAL RETIRED], DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA. VOLUME XL " What is aimed at is an accurate description, illustrated by plans, measurements, drawings, or photographs, and by copies of inscriptions, of such remains as most 'deserve notice, with the history of them so far as it may be traceable, anda record of the traditions that are preserved regarding them.”—Lord Canning. “ What the learned would demand of us in India is to be quite certain of our data, to place the monumental record before them exactly as it now exists, and to interpret it faithfully and literally.”—James Prinsep, CALCUTTA OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING. 1880. : CALCUTTA PRINTED BY T IE SUPERINTENDENT OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING, 8, HASTINGS STREET. INTRODUCTION. '^HE present volume contains the results of a tour in the Gangetic Provinces in 1877-78. In this report I have described many curious and interesting remains of Hindu architecture and sculpture of all ages. Of the old Buddhis- tic times, there are the ancient mounds of Panch Pahari, or the “ Five hills,” close to Patna, from whence Akbar viewed the city when he was besieging Baud Shah, the last king of Bengal. Of the same age are the old temples and stupas of Sravasti and Tandwa. Of the Indo-Scythian period, there is a very curious group of sculpture from Tusaran Bihar, near Allahabad.
