is certainly that of the great Indian Railway
Company. The chief line would run from Bonn

the eastern coast, near Coringa. In connection
with this, three transverse ones are proposed
one from Poona to Bejapoor, another to Auren-
gabad, third from Hyderabad to Nagpoor,
crossing the main line. Thess would become
the channels Of the great trade running from the
interior to the coast. The proposed lines ars
