is difficult of access from the north and west ; on the south and east there are roads communicating with Gola in pargana Haidarabad Sikandrabad, which was for many years the head-quarters of a tahsil and with the sadr station of Lakhimpur. One road from Aliganj to Gola crosses the river Ul by a new bridge at Kusumbhi. There is another road from Aliganj to Lakhimpur which crosses the Ul by a ford at Nukaha there was a bridge here once which was swept away in the floods of the autumn of 1870. A third road from Aliganj to Bhira was commenced and made as far as the beginning of the sal forest, where it now ends a fourth road goes from Aliganj through the forest to Kukra Mailani, crossing the Ul half-way, but as the river is not bridged there, and the ford is deep, The only other road is that from Lakhimpur this road is not much used. the course of the high ridge bounding the ganfollows which to Sirsighdt, the rest of the pargana shut jar, and has a considerable traffic throughout bet-vaeen the rivers Chauka and Ul there are no roads at all, and the traffic
