RAIL WAV Commencing with the southern portion of the sketch map, I drove a trench, north to south at right angles to an old one, dug in 1895, in the garden of the beadman of the Kamråhar village. Below 10 feet I found portion of a large wall, made of bricks, each I'l" X 0 10" XO' 4 in dimensions. The portion of the wall exhumed was 8 feet in length by about 4 feet in breadth. Clearing round it and going down further about 2 feet I found clear earth, and no continuation, of the brick-work. So I stopped following up what Dr. Waddell and I thought to be part of the remains of the Mauryan palace proper. It would be necessary to study the ground a fresh before making another trial-trench in order to trace the missing connection.
