NOTES ON CHAPTER II 91
68. Goura, ? Gaura, about 12 miles W.N.W, of Bhagalpur,
diluviated apparently by KenneU's time, but the name survives
in the name of a maitza marked on the S.S.
69. Do Graaf (p. 50) also describes the old stone bridge, and
says that it had eight arches and an octagonal stone tower at
each end.
70. The Goorgut N\illa of R., tt.A. xv. It appears as a " large
and deep Nullah passed with difficulty " at " Goorgaut " in a
list of " Distances on the Patna road from Murshedabad " (Orme
MSS. vol. Ixvii., p. 55).
71. Evidently diluviated. Judging from Broucke's map and
the names of places mentioned by DC Graaf, the river curved
round to the north between Sultanganj and Gogrl in those days.
72. The situation of these villages has much altered owing to
changes in the courses of the rivers. Marshall sailed west from
Jamalpur to a " little town " about 6j} miles. This was probably
Mansi (5.5.), the Manci of De Graaf and Broucke.
73. By " the King " Marshall refers to Sultan Muhammad
Shuja', (Shah Shuja'), second son of Shah Jahan, twice Governor
of Bengal, who built himself a palace on the west side of the fort
at Monghyr, overlooking the river, and spent a good deal of his
time there. Marshall does not refer to the visit of the " Dutch-
men," De Graaf and Oosterhoff, on this occasion, since it was not
till about six months later that they were imprisoned at Monghyr.
He gives an account of their misadventure when describing his
journey by land to Monghyr in Chapter IV, where he has also
further remarks on the city. See also De Graaf's description
(Voyages, pp. 59-61).
74. Apparently diluviatcd.
75. Cotgola (k&thgola, wood-store) was probably a temporary
halting place.
76. Surajgarhi, the little Surajgarha, probably a suburb of the
latter.
77. The course of the Ganges has constantly changed between
Surajgarha and Mokameh, so the places touched at by Marshall
(Fottarepore, Gehaumah, Shecolee) have probably been diluviated
long since.
78. By " toddy " [trees] Marshall apparently means tar or
palmyra trees from which tari or toddy was obtained.
79. Possibly gola-i-ght or ghl store*
80. Bunderbunna, the Bendar Bana of Broucke's map. It is
not marked on the 5.5, The name means the " monkey wood."
