Abstract
I MUST first state how I came to notice this phenomenon so well known in Bengal. Early in February, 1890, I was posted to Backergunge, as District Superintendent of Police, and remained there till December, 1891, a period of twenty-two months. In order to travel quickly over the district a steam launch was always at my service, and as I had to visit each of the numerous police stations scattered all over the district at least twice every year, there are few places in Backergunge I have not visited repeatedly.
