River Soane. In defcending the Ganges we pafs by the city of Dynapour,
feated at the mouth of the river Soane, the antient Namadus
and Sonus, which Mr. d'Anville places in his map as rifing from
the Montes Deorum Pan<z. Its origin is very fingular, from a
lake, in Lat. 23% Long. 830 50' W. which gives rife to two great
rivers, the Soane, which takes an eaftern courfe, and the Ner-
budda, which takes a weftern, and falls into the fea in the gulph
of Cambaya, thus infulating a great part of Hindooßan, flowing
in contrary directions fifteen hundred miles. As to the naviga-
tion of the Soane, I have been informed, by an intelligent friend
who is acquainted with this river, that it is navigable through the
province of Bahar, but our knowlege of it extends no farther.
Mausoleum at At Moneah, at the mouth of the Soane, on the weftern bank,
