"Gebietsakten Indien. Generalvisitation und Canara. 1863 / Letters and Reports from India. General Visitation, and South Karnataka. 1863"

The structure of the bound volumes for 1863 has to be recorded in detail. This volume begins with a 45-document section entitled "General Visitation of the Indian Stations 1863". The printed English-language Annual Reports of the Basel Mission refer to this process both under 1862 and 1863 and explain that instead of calling the missionaries together for a General Conference, which should have been held in 1863, the three top officials of the Basel Mission in India (Chairman, Secretary of the General Conference, and the "Agent" in charge of administration and finance) were visiting all mission stations. This section records their visits over the period January to October 1863. This is followed in the normal way by sections on the District Conference in South Karnataka (12 documents); Mangalore (87); Mulki & Udipi (26); Kurg/Kodagu (20), and in the same section index [sic!], Honowar (4). Owing to the size of the section for the Visitation, the North Karnataka reports and letters are filed in the next volume. Many but not all of the Quarterly Reports are given captions in the indexes.
