Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of Travels in Assam, Burma, Bootan, Affghanistan and the Neighbouring Countries His first appointment in India was to the coast of Tenasserim but in the year 1835 he was attached to the Bengal Presidency, and was selected to form one Of a rdeputation, consisting Of Dr. Wallich and himself as botanists, and Mr. Macclelland as geologist, to visit and inspect the Tea-forests (as they were called) of Assam, and to make researches in the natural history Of that almost unexplored district. This mission was for Mr. Griffith the commencement of a series Of journeys in pursuit Of botanical knowledge, embracing nearly the whole extent of the East India Company's extra-peninsular posses sions, and adding large collections, in every branch Of natural history, but especially botany, to those which, under the auspices Of the Indian Government, had previously been formed. He next, under the directions of Capt. Jenkins, the Commissioner, pushed his inves tigations to the utmost eastern limit Of the Company's territory, traversing the hitherto unexplored tracts in the neighbourhood Of the Mishmee mountains which lie between Suddiyaoand Ava. Of the splendid collection Of insects formed during this part of his tour some account has been given by Mr. Hope in the Transactions of the Entomological Society and in the eighteenth volume Of ourftown Transactions.

Wade's house is well situated on a rising ground, and the demesne is a pretty one. Otherwise the country is ugly enough, and very bare, yet it is here well wooded, in comparison with what I hear of Ferozepore. Along the face of the hill near the town, a nullah flows, abounding in fish, of which more anon. The rock pigeons, or grouse, are very abundant, and there are two species, one remarkable for the elongated side-feathers of the tail. Both are beautiful birds, but very difficult of access. Crows, kites, vultures, adjutants, herons, Drongoles, sparrows, parrots, etc. remain as before, but most of the less common birds are different from those to the south; the most European are genuine starlings; and, to my memory of eight years back, identical with those of Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of modernization has brought discontinuities in collective memory. This volume and its sequel provide an act of collective remembrance, knitting together many voices and stories. It shows the readers a world of the past before modernization began in the 1960s. Volume 1 unfolds accounts of births and rebirths in the household, making of houses and matrimony, rearing of children and livestock in a village, and husbandry of lands and forests. After sketching these fundamental aspects of existence, it details seasonable migration, backpack and caravan trade, and travel over different climatic and linguistic areas. Colours, sounds, and other sensory experiences of ordinary people are described before ending with the rhythm of the farming of major crops such as millet, rice, and wheat.
