 426 SUL All the other roads are unmetalled, but bridged where necessary, and except when subjected to very severe trials, such as that of exceedingly heavy rains, are usually fit for any sort of traffic. They are as follows: The Lucknow-Jaunpur road. This enters the district at a point two miles east of Haidargarh, and leaves it two miles east of Chánda; its total length within these limits being seventy miles, in the course of which it traverses the town of Inhauna, Nihálgarh, and the village of Saraiyárt, in which are the headquarters of the Musafirkhana tahsil. It leaves the civil station about two miles to the north, but is connected with it by three separate lines-(1) metalled from Amghat, (2) also metalled from the point of its intersection with the Allahabad road, (3) upmetalled from Lucknow. The Sultanpur-Rae Bareli road. This starts from Sultanpur and skirt- ing the large village of Dhamaur, the bazar Gauriganj, and the town of Jáis, leaves the district about eleven miles from the last named place. The Fyzabad-Rae Bareli road. This crosses the Gumti over the Amghát bridge, cuts the Lucknow road at Jagdispur ; it is thence conti- pued to the Mohanganj tháua, and thence onward through the pargana of that name into Rae Bareli. These constitute as it were local trunk lines, and the Imperial road excepted, throw out lateral branches in various directions, regarding which suflicient particulars may be given in the following tabular form. :- NO Main road Point of divergence Direction.

If the map be examined, it will be seen that every part of the district is well supplied with roads, with the exception of a triangle lying between Sultanpur, Chánda, and Amethi, within which they are consp cuous by their absence, The only route from Chánda to Amethi is via Sultanpur, and this involves a detour of several miles.
