NOTE 1: »On the hill above the village Bhuili is an old ruined fort and a signal tower. There is also a cave, locally called Kho, in the hill which [the cave?] contains two illegible inscriptions on the rock inside« (Glennie, Edward Aubrey (s.a. circa 1948 Mss: Preliminary Record; GLENNIE 1959: 31 after DRAKE BROCKMANN 1911 District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh , volume XXVII: Mirzapore District, page 281). NOTE 2: Bhuili is not listed on nima.mil/geonames (accessed 16.11.2003) but shown in the India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006: 40 C5). IMPERIAL GAZETTEER (1907-1909) has Bhuili village in a pargana of the same name in Chunar tahsil, which covers the area between N24°27': E082°42' and N25°15': E083°12' (Everest 1830). NOTE 3: BUCHANAN, later: HAMILTON (1926: 152) had passed on 25th February 1812 a place called »Bahuli« but made no mention of a cave. NOTE 4: Chunar N25°08': E082°54' (nima.mil/geonames accessed 16.11.2003), on AMS sheet NG44-12 Banaras (U502 series, 1961 edition) and on India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006) map 40 B5.
