A history of the Sikhs, from the origin of the nation to the battles of the Sutlej.

APP. XXXIX THE ARMY OF LAHORE

415

[By the courtesy of the Government of the Punjab I am
enabled to add to this appendix the statement recently
compiled by L. Sita Ram Kohly, M.A., who has been conducting some researches into the MS. records lying in the
Punjab Secretariat. There are many hundreds of these
records still to be examined, and further investigation will
no doubt yield important results. In,the meantime it may
be of interest to the reader to compare the actual figures
for 1844, as obtained from these records, with those given
by the author.-ED.]
