21 Feb 1863. We reached Burdwan about 2 AM and found an excellent hotel near the station, a small mansion in a park. After our dinner we took a ghorie, and drove to the maharajah's palace. We could not see him till to-morrow, but he gave us an order to see his palace, gardens &c. The gardens were well kept up with many choice flowers, and tanks abounding with large tame fish. In the menagerie were lions, lionesses, tigers, panthers, giraffes, a rhinoceros, alligators, monkeys, ostriches, pelicans &c.
