'Copy of a letter addressed to Col. Sykes, East India House, by Dr. Impey, dated Indore, 10 June 1849' in which Impey writes that in the same mail he has sent Sykes a paper on the colossal Jain figure on the 'Satpoonah Range'. He is unable to decide which of the Jain figures it represents. The inscriptions to be found are in Sanskrit. He compares his discovery to that of Captain Vodel's written about in the Transactions of the Society. He also writes of visiting the caves at Awkya Tankye.
