BOMBAY GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. XCvii
f No. 58 of 1867.
From The Acting First Political Assistant,
To Major R. H. Keatinge, Y.C., C.S.I.j
Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. in Kattyawar.
Rajkote, Wudwan Station, 4th March 1867.
g IR) With reference to your Circular Memo. No. 15, dated tihe 11th September
1866, on Government Resolution No. 1692, dated the 27th August 1866, on the
subject of the supposed sinking of the Runn of Kutch, I have the honour to forward
for your information two forms of register which I have directed, with the con
sent of the Commissioner of Customs and His Highness the Raj of Drangudra,
K.C.S.I., to be kept by the Sircarcoons at Patree, Jhinjoowarra, and Unverpoor,
and the Raj Carcoons at Teekur and Kopurnee.
2. The post A, referred to in the forms, is or will be fixed at each station, 100
yards from high tide mark, and post B so as to be partly covered by the water
at high tide. The sea does not reach the customs stations except sometimes in
the rains. The posts at these stations will therefore be fixed after the begin
ning of the monsoon.
3. The registers are to be kept for lunar months.
4. The carcoons have been directed to note when the Teekur, Khar, &c, passes
are practicable for passage across the Runn, and when closed, and to note also
the dates of any volcanic shocks.
5. Their registers will be annually compiled in my office ; and the result of
their observations communicated to you. I do not suppose that if the Runn is
really sinking or rising any appreciable fall or rise would be apparent for many
years.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
