Comment on location

By description Bednore was 40 miles from the coast at the head of the Ghats. General Matthews marched from Coondapur (Kundapura) inland. An 1875 Indian Empire map labels it as Bednore or Nuggur. There is a place called Nagar south of Hosanagar in the right area.

Comment on Date

The Excel spreadsheet dates the battle in 1799. I can find no record of this so has substituted the battle of 1783. Index date to be changed
