t

In the Tables, in which we present the different routes1 taken by ourselves and
by our assistants, we give the detail in such a form, as to render it possible mi-
nutely to follow them on the Route Map, which is contained in the geographical part
of our Atlas.

We have formed our routes in 14 groups, arranged in chronological order.

The sign A indicates an uninhabited place, where a halt had been made. Such
places along commercial routes are also the halting places of caravans.

The different routes are preceded by explanatory remarks, having reference prin-
cipally to the mode of travelling and to the general character of the climate.

1 As stated in our evidence before the Select Committee on Colonization and Settlement in India (Fourth
Report, published July 23rd, 1858, p. 2), the total length of the various routes, along which our researches were
carried on, in India and to the north of it, amounts to about 18,000 miles.
