“This tank covers a large extent of ground to the N.E. of Mandalay Hill; the embankment or bund is some miles

in length, and runs from near the base of the hill in a N. and N.E. direction. The tank receives its supply of water

from the Shan Hills to the east, in which is a large reservoir present out of repair. This tank is the principal

feeder of the numerous canals and watercourses in and around Mandalay. Beneath the bund are large tracts of rice cultivation in which very good snipe shooting may be hand during the season, which is here later than in Lower Burmah; in the latter place snipe are to be found in great abundance very soon after the rains, while about Mandalay very few make their appearance before January, after which time, until well on in march, a good shot can bag 50 couple or more in a few hours either below this tank or below Aubinleh, a few miles to the S.E. of the City. Duck and teal are also plentiful on the tanks, but to get at them a boat is necessary.”
