plan or extent. The rear wall as seen
from the exterior seems to have no symmetry
and little connexion (sic-connection) with the symmetrical
facade as will be seen in the accompanying
plan - it is perfectly solid and unbroken -
a good piece of masonry.

Adjoining this great structure on the North
are extensive ruins which may be the remains
of the imperial palace - this is the most
commanding site in the town.

These ruins extend from the building,
described above, to the E & W avenue and on
the north side of the avenue for ^ a good ^ distance.

The palace, or whatever it was, was carried
over the road by a long vaulted passage
wide enough to permit the passing of two
large vehicles. One the north side a few of
the rooms of the lower story are preserved and
constitute several houses for the natives.

It is not possible without deeper investigation
to discern the extent of the palace.
