No. 59. SuLTANPUR, IN KuLU.

Though. the chief place of Kum, this is a small, unimportant village, situated on
a high bank to the right of the Bias.

A fort, with a large house in good condition, formerly the residence of the Rajah
of Kulu, is close to the village; our instruments were put up in a wooded plain
which extends along the right side of the Bias, half a mile's distance from this fort.
We observed here the dip and declination.

Latitude and longitude are from the G. T. S.
