Deinapore is one of the largest English military stations, and contains extensive barracks, which almost constitute a town in themselves. The town is but a short distance from the barracks. There are many Mahomedans among the inhabitants, who surpass the Hindoos in industry and perseverance. I here saw elephants for the first time on the Indian continent.
In all Indian, Mahomedan, and in fact all countries which are not Christian, it is a very difficult task to obtain anything like an exact calculation of the number of inhabitants, as nothing is more hateful to the population than such computations. I landed with two travellers at Patna, and rode on to Deinapore in the evening, where our steamer anchored for the night.
I expected to see the streets here full of camels and elephants, since I had read so much about it in some descriptions: but I saw only bailis drawn by oxen and a few horsemen, but neither camels nor elephants. Towards evening we drove to Deinapore, which is eight miles from Patna, along an excellent post-road, planted with handsome trees.
