-bly to the efficiency of both. The
command that these works have
over the rivers into which they
discharge their surplus water
is in all cases a security against
interruption at any season of
the year.

B. The Escapes of the Cawnpoor
Terminal Line.

Under this section are
included all the works for regulating
the supply between the Nanoon
Regulating Head and the works
at Dubowli, the latter being in-
-cluded in the list of terminal
works appended to the descent
into the Ganges at Cawnpoor.

It will be observed by the
map and the position in which
the Cawnpoor line of canal is
placed with reference to the
rivers to its right and left, that
the facilities for disposing of
its escape water are by no means
so good as those which attended
upon the main trunk in its
passage to Nanoon. The East
Kalli Nuddi by taking a wide
departure from the bearing upon
which the canal runs, is at too
great a distance to be made con-
-veniently available, whilst an
intervening river, the Eesun,
which rises on the left almost

of its course by the Rinde, and

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.
