THE old Gazetteer of Banda formed a portion of the first volume of the North-Western Provinces Gazetteer, published in 1874, and edited by Mr. E. Т. Atkinson, B.U.S. A general summary, for the most part historical, was given of the whole tract, and short statistical accounts of each of the component districts, including mutiny narratives, were written separately. That relating to this district was meagre, though fuller than those of the other districts, and was mainly derived from an old monograph written by Mr. M. P. Edge-worth, Collector of Banda, in 1848, and from notes supplied by Mr. F. Fischer, C.S. The present volume is entirely different in form, and contains a large amount of matter which is not in the old Gazetteer. It has been compiled from a variety of sources, the chief of which is the Settlement Report of Mr. A. Cadell. Readers of that work will at once be aware of the present editor's debt to the very minute and complete information therein collected. His obligations are also due to Messrs. Bell and Silberrad for the many notes they left especially touching matters and places in the Karwi Sub-division; and to Mr. G. B. Lambert for material readily supplied and for valuable assistance in the reading of the proofs.
