According to the revenue survey details prepared in 1864-65, the sub-division contains a total area of 141, 229 acres, which are all occupied by government villages, there being no alienated village in the sub-division. Of these, 113, 553 acres, or 8040 per cent, are occupied land; 15, 394 acres, or 1090 per cent, are culturable waste; 2, 105 acres, or 149 per cent, are unculturable waste; and 10, 177 acres, or 720 per cent, are occupied by rivers, village sites, reservoirs, and roads. From 128, 947 acres, 7, 688 acres have to be subtracted on account of alienated lands in state villages. Of the balance of 121, 259 acres, the actual area of culturable state land, 104, 020 acres, or 8578 per cent, were in 1873-74 under cultivation. The sub-division forms a richly wooded plain, with stretches of grass land covered with date, palm, and babul trees. Towards the west the sub-division has the benefit of the seabreeze, and is well supplied with water. The climate of the eastern parts is hotter and somewhat feverish. The Tapti, which forms the northern boundary of the sub-division, is, except during high floods, not deep enough to allow of the passage of boats. During high floods timber is floated down as far as Karod, whence it is taken to Surat in carts. Besides the Tapti, the Purna and the Mindhola flow through the sub-division. But they are too shallow for purposes of navigation. The soil is so well supplied with water that, even without irrigation, second crops can generally be raised. Except in the case of some rice ground watered early in the season from village tanks, lands are irrigated chiefly by means of wells and springs. This . . .
