From the 163rd to the 165th
mile, a curve on a radius of 20000
feet delivers the line upon a
bearing a few degrees to the right
of that on which it had been
previously passing; on this bear-
ing it proceeds direct to the
Sumna. The town of Rawun
lies opposite to the 165th mile
at a short distance
to the left; the canal passes
Rawun on a moderately cul-
tivated although a very dry
country (the depth of wells
being 79 feet) free of all drain-
age until it reaches the 168th
mile at the village of Bhambi,
here the extreme southern limit
of a very extensive hollow, upon
which the villages of Mooya
and Sirinuggur are situated,
and which is connected with
the Noon, is touched upon with-
out any interruption to its
drainage. At the 170th mile
a hollow of considerable ex-
tent is crossed at what appears
to be the watershed or summit
level, of 2 lines of drainage
running in opposite directions,
one to the Sumna under
Moosannuggur, the other to
the Noon : no impediment
appears to exist at this point
and it will act as the escape
head for the locks which lie
below it. Onwards to the
172nd mile, the line of canal
proceeds uninterruptedly over an
undulating and barren surface;

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
