Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal 1845

1845

At the mouth of the Koondil river where I had remained the night we took our final departure myself in a small khail boat and the rest of my party in the small fishing boats of the country which for the sake of ascending the rapids of the Burhampooter are made particularly light and handy. [...] Near the mouth of the Dhollee are yet visible the remains of the residence of the Chutteeah Rajas whose rule iesaid to have extended over the whole valley of Assam as far as Gowalpara but which was terminated by the invasion of the Ahoms who crossed the hills from Moonkong. [...] we reached the summit from which a splendid view of the plains and the surrounding hills is visible : on the right are seen the towering mass of immense mountains that form the country of the Myjoo Mishmees ; and in the plain beneath the prospect is only bounded by the far distant horizon within whose limits the endless sea of forest that characterises this part of Assam is the only object that [...] On leaving the bed of the Tiding the road leads over the spurs of the mountains that continue down to the banks of the Burhampooter and for some distance passes under the perpendicular cliffs of primitive limestone from which are visible the pendulous stalatites that are peculiar to this formation ; after passing the limits occupied bx this rook the soil becomes micacious and in a few plac [...] arrived at the house of Rumling who is the head chief of the Taen tribe of Nlishmees and has established himself near the Pass leading from the country to the south of the Burhampooter which being inhabited by the Myjoo Nlishmees with whom the tribes to the north of the river are at war affords thereby a protection against the inroads_ of these people.
