Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v1.c16.57

v1.c16.57

To render this more distinct, I present a profile of the tract described from Abu to Kotra on the Betwa :² from Abu to the Chambal, the result of barometrical measurement, and from the latter to the Betwa from my general observations³ of the irregularities of surface. The result is, that the Betwa at Kotra is one thousand feet above the sea-level, and one thousand lower than the city and valley of Udaipur, which again is on the same level with the base of Abu, two thousand feet above the sea. This line, the general direction of which is but a short distance from the tropic, is about six geographic degrees in length : yet is this small space highly diversified, both in its inhabitants and the production of the soil, whether hidden or revealed.
