Abstract
THE “narratives” from which extracts have been taken for publication in the report before us are those of officers of the Indian Survey Department who are employed on work of scientific investigation. There is little of topographical, and nothing of geographical, interest in them if we except certain results derived from Captain Wood's mission to Nepal. They afford, however, most convincing proof of the strenuous nature of the work of the scientific branch of the department, and should serve amply to justify the maintenance of a well-matured system of scientific investigation in the eyes of those critics who are disposed to assert that India cannot afford to be scientific.
