GOOLPUSSRA, a town or village in the Nepal dominions. It stands on the skirts of the great forest; and although it is the thoroughfare for most of the merchandise which passes between Nepal, Benares, Oude, and Patna, over the Cheesapany Mountains, it is but a mean village. The road thence to Bechiacori through the great forest is practicable for wheel-carrages, and there are two or three stations on the way. In the vicinity of this place is an extensive forest of fine timber, especially of that kind called saul, next in value to teak, some of the trees of which measure a hundred feet between the branches, and from eight to nine feet in the girth. Long. 85. 10. E. Lat. 27. 1. N.
