¹ On the Ordnance Map I observe on the river-bank, thirteen miles N.N.E. of Raichûr, a plan of what appears to be a large fortified camp, with its base on the river, the average of its west, south, and east faces being about a mile each. It lies just below the junction of the Bhîma and Krishnâ rivers, and two miles west of the present railway station on the latter river. What this may be I know not, but it looks like the remains of an entrenched camp erected in some former year. Perhaps some one will examine the place.
