PILLEEBHEET, a town of British India, capital of a pergunnah of the same name, in the district of Bareilly, N.W. Provinces, stands on the left bank of the Gurrah, 802 miles N.W. of Calcutta. The river, which is here 250 yards broad, is crossed during the dry season, from December to June, by a ford, and at other times by a ferry. The town is extensive, and is the seat of an active com-
merce. Timber, pitch, honey, wax, wool, various metals, and other goods, are brought hither from Kunson and Chinese Tartary, and are exchanged for the produce of the plains. The rice of Pilleebheet, which is valued in India for its fine flavour, is grown in the valley of the Kosilla, in the south of Kunson, and brought to market here. Pop. (1853) 26,760.
