We are requested to mention that the salary of Nein

Pundit, the great Hindoo explorer,'was not rs. 7 (14s.) a month, as stated by us, but rs. 70 (£7). In addition to his pension of £50, the Pundit received from the Indian Government a grant of a small freehold estate or jaghire, worth about £50 a year more, a grant which would give him honour among his own kinsfolk. Still he has been underpaid for a lifetime of laberious and most succesful work.
