side by the Rinde, on the other
by the Seyngoor River; between
these two lines of drainage it
continues uninterruptedly for
145 miles of its course, and in
this aspect it labors under the
same disadvantages as the
Cawnpoor Branch, in so far that
the Rinde in the early part of
its course, is as inapplicable to
provide the means of escape
for surplus water as I have before
described it to be. The Seyngoor
River which runs on the right
border of the strip of land through
which the canal passes, although
as deficient in capabilities for the
especial purpose required in the
early part of its progress from its
rise in the neighborhood of Koel,
proceeds on a more rapid slope
than the Rinde, and, therefore, be-
-comes at an early period better
adapted for our purposes. At
the 50th mile, the capacity of
the Seyngoor and its relative
levels with the canal bed, render
it available as a receptacle for
waste water, whereas it will be
recollected that the Rinde at
the 87 mile of its course was
considered as incapable of being
converted to a similar purpose.
Below the points above mentioned
both the Rinde and the Seyngoor
gradually increase both in width
and depth, and would admit
of any additional supply that
could be possibly turned off
fron the canal.

In determining the posi-
-tions for escapes, I have been
guided

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.
