GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TRACT UNDER REPORT AND STATISTICAL RESULTS. CHAPTER I. SECTION I.-BOUNT)ARIES AND AREAS. THE Palamau district lies between the parallels of 23°19' 35" and 24°39'00" north latitude and 83°23'20" and 85° 02' 00" east longitude. It may be said to resemble a parallellogram, having irregular sides, with a length from north- west to south-east of 119 miles and breadth from west to east of 101 miles. The approximate area of the district is 4,905 square miles. Of this, only 293-93 square miles, or 187,520 acres, were traversed and surveyed cadastrally, and 131.29 square miles, being jungle and waste land, were only traversed. The total area traversed was 425-22 square miles, or 272,000 acres, which is the area of the 399 villages belonging to Government to which this report relates. 2. The boundaries of the district are— North—Mirzapur, Shahabad, and Gaya districts. South—Sirguja and Lohardaga districts. East–Lohardaga and Hazaribagh districts. West-Mirzapur and Sirguja districts. 3. Palamau was a subdivision of the Lohardaga district up to 1st January 1893, when it was created a separate district, and simultaneously pargana Tori of Lohardaga was excluded from that district and added to Palamau, which now comprises four parganas, viz., Palamau, Japla, Belounja, and Tori. Of these parganas, Palamau is subdivided into 25 tappas as follows:– North—(1) Deogaon. South—(2) Seema, (3) Chechari, (4) Bareysand, (5) Khamhi, (6) Saneya, and (7) Durjag. South-east–(8) Mankeri, (9) Tappa. - South-west—(10) Udaipur, (11) Uchri, (12) Berkol, (13) Duthu, (14) Chatki, and (15) Kutri. East—(16) Mutooli and (17) Pundag. West—(18) Khapparmanda and (19). Untari. Centre—(20) Bari, (21) Tareya, (22) Goaval, (23) Taleya, (24) Kote, and (25) Imli. 4. The 399 Government villages to which this report relates are situate in the tappas which are shown in italic, fifteen in all. Besides these one village lies in pargana Japla, and three villages are contained in the Shikmi or subordinate tappas of Amhar and Sirhey, thus making a total of seventeen tappas and one pargana. C ( 2 ) - 5. The size of the largest village, Purnadih, in tappa Kote, is 2,627 acres according to the Revenue survey of 1864-65, and that of the smallest, Chak Mankeri, in tappa Mankeri is 4 acres. 6. The number of fields in all measured by the Survey Department is 161,352. The average size of a field, excluding jungle, is 0.69 acre. The size of the largest field being all jungle is 1373-62 acres, and that of the smallest is 0-01 acre. - - CHAPTER II. PHYSICAL FEATURES AND KINDS OF SO11. SECTION I.-ASPECT OF THE I) ISTRICT. 7. Features of the hill-ranges.—Hunter’s “Statistical Account of Bengal,” pages 234 and 236, says of Palamau as follows:— “On the east and South it consists of spurs thrown off from the plateau of Hazaribagh and Chota Nagpur, while the rest of Palamau is a tangled mass of isolated peaks and long irregular stretches of broken hills. The general run of these hill-ranges is from east to west; but the relations of the minor ridges are most involved, and the size of the valleys which they form is stated to vary from one to nine hundred square miles. The average elevation of the country is about 1,200 feet above sea-level; but some of the southern peaks, forming the southern face of the valley of the Auranga, rise to more than 3,000 feet. In the eastern and southern portions of Palamau the rocks consist of gneiss and various kinds of granite, while many of the western and south-western hills are capped with sandstone and laterite. The contour of the hills is mainly determined by the rocks of which they are composed; those topped by laterite or sandstone have long flattened summits; but the crystalline rocks show an irregular outline broken by sharp ridges and conical peaks. Trap dykes occur frequently, and masses of quartz, hornblende, and felspar are found all over Palamau. The face of the country is wilder and more broken by rock and jungle than in Chota Nagpur. There are no level areas of any extent except the valleys of the North Koel and Amanat rivers, to which rice cultivation is confined. “One of the most prominent features of the hill system of Palamau is the Chechari valley, which occupies the south-west corner of the district. This valley is a complete basin with only one outlet to the north, through which a small stream takes off the drainage of the highlands into the river Koel. On the south it is overlooked by the range of hills in pargana Barwe; on the west the Jamira pat, a high plateau in the tributary mahal of Sirguja, rises like a wall to a height of nearly 4,000 feet, confronted on the eastern side of the valley by the Nethurhát pat of 3,600 feet; while a lofty spur from the Jamira pat, crowned by the natural fortress of Tamolegarh, overhangs the valley to the north. The summit of the Nethurhát pat is on an undulating table-land about four miles long and two and-a-half miles broad. A small stream runs through the centre of the plateau. The climate of Nethurhát is cool throughout the year; the summit is free from clouds and mist, and the place is stated to be well suited for a sanitarium. The other most conspicuous peaks of Palamau are—Bulbul, on the south-east boundary, 3,329 feet; Buri, on the south-west boundary, 3,078 feet; Kotam, 2,791 feet; Rumandi, 2,530 feet; Tungari, 2,108 feet.” 8. River banks and beds,-On the south of the district upper reaches of the Koel, Amanat, and Auranga are characterized by rugged and occasionally precipitous banks with clear water dashing over boulder and shingle, or gliding calmly in shallow reaches terminated by rocky barriers. On the north these streams have deep sandy beds, into which the water sinks out of sight during the summer, percolating through the soft sand till some outcrop of rock here and there arrests its course, and forces it to the surface, forming an occasional pool. When the traveller would slake his thirst he digs a hole a couple of feet in depth, and soon obtains as much water as he may need. 9. Scenery.—The scenery in many parts of the district is very remarkable. Nothing can exceed the beauty of certain portions of the Koel and Amanat rivers, where they flow in long, cool-looking, often meandering reaches, between high banks covered near the water's edge with short grass, and crowned with large trees of all descriptions, which overhang the water and under which deer and jungle fowl may sometimes be seen feeding. The views from Chandwa to the south of Palamau, those in the Seema and Durjag valleys, and those in Bareysand towards the Chechari valley are very grand, and afford lovely bits for the painter. The whole district, in fact, presents the same features, and the traveller passing along the main road cannot but be struck by the beauty of the place. 10. In February and March the blaze of colour in the valleys, from the scarlet flower of the palas (Butea frondosa), which burst forth into bloom ( 3 ) everywhere, and the bright yellow flowers of the gulgul (Cochlospermum Gossypium), making up bouquets, as it were, on the hillsides, gladden the eye, while the whistling of the birds that begin to appear with the opening of spring, and continue till winter sets in, is extremely exhilarating. 11. Another feature that constitutes a charm of the district is its beautiful sunsets. Between June and September, and often during the winter also, the sky is tinged with red, purple, orange, and every colour that can possibly be imagined, and as the sun sets and disappears behind the green carpetted undulat- ing land and blue hills, the scene is truly magnificent, and no words can convey to those who have not visited Palamau the sensation of delight which the mind experiences from it. 12. Rivers.-The principal rivers in Palamau are the Koel, Amanat, Auranga, and Kunhur. The Són river runs about 15 miles to the north of the northern boundary, and the Kumhur river is the boundary between Palamau and Sirguja on the south-west. A description of the rivers will be found in page 235 of Hunter's Statistical Account of Bengal, an extract from which is given in Appendix XXVII of this report. 12a. The banks of the Koel, Amanat, and Auranga wherever possible are well under cultivation with a variety of native vegetables, and in places with sugarcane also, and so valuable is the land for this purpose that Kunjras and Koiries, the market gardeners of Palamau, readily pay for it at from Rs 6 to Rs. 8 per local bigha. 13. Hot Springs.-One of these is situated in the bed of the Tataka river at Jarum, about a mile and-a-half north-west of Pochra, or in north latitude 23° 49' and east longitude 84° 32'. The highest temperature of the water is said to be 132° F. Another hot spring is in the village of Thatha in tappa Durjag. The highest temperature of this spring is said to be 151° F. For further information about these springs, I would beg the reader to refer to “Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India,” volume XV, part I, page 19. 14. Mineral products.-Coal of good quality is known to exist in large quantities in the district. Dr. W. Saise says:— “There is a large quantity of good useful fuel fit for locomotive and steaming purposes, and a very large quantity of good brick burning and lime burning coal, to be got at com- paratively shallow depths. In addition there are many millions of tons of coal not considered as useful for locomotive or general steaming purposes, but which may be considered as an ideal fuel for domestic purposes as it ignites readily, burns easily, and with as little Smoke as wood, and leaves a white ash similar to wood.” 14a. Iron ore is plentiful, especially in the southern tappas, and all agri- cultural implements used by cultivating classes throughout Palamau are made from iron smelted by Kol lohars and Asur Agarias within the district. Copper and mica are also to be found, and good chalk, which is used by people for whitewashing walls of houses, is available in village Ukamand, tappa. Durjag. There is also an inexhaustible supply of kumkur lime in Palamau. For further information as regards coal and iron, I would ask perusal of (1) Report on the Daltonganj coal-field, by Mr. W. H. Hughes, in “Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India,” page 325; (2) Mr. W. Ball's report on the Auranga and Hutár coal-fields and the iron ores of Palamau and Tori, in “Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India,” volume XV, part I; (3) Report on the Daltonganj coal-field, by Mr. T. D. la'Touche, in “Records of the Geological Survey of India,” volume XXIV, part 3; and (4) Dr. W. Saise's report on the Daltonganj coal-field of 31st July 1896. 15. Trees, shrubs, and grasses.—A list of the fruit and other trees found in the district, and how they are used, is supplied in Appendix XIX of this report. Jungle products are abundant, and furnish a means of subsistence to the majority of the people for several months of the year. 16. Wild animals.-A list of them will be found in Appendix XX. 17. Birds, snakes, and fishes.—In Appendices XXI to XXIII I have furnished a list of the birds, snakes, and fishes found in the district. 18. I would request perusal of all these appendices, as they contain much useful information relating to the district and its people. - c 2 ( 4 ) SECTION II.-HISTORY. 19. Origin of the word Palamau.—It is difficult to say what the meaning of the word Palamau really is. Mr. Forbes in paragraphs 70 and 71 of his settlement report writes thus:– “The word ‘ Palamaw or “Palamon' with the final nasal n, as it is written in the Deva Nagri, is sufficient in itself to raise up a host of conflicting opinions. The etymology of the name is not clear. I am not myself sufficiently an etymologist to venture an opinion, otherwise I might suggest that the word may have some connection with the Pallanas or Palli race, or that it may have sprung from the word “Pallya” or “Parraya or “Paria,’ the name of one of the oldest aboriginal tribes of India. The existence of a tribe of Parrayas in the pargana would seem to strengthen the latter suggestion ; but Colonel Dalton, I believe, is of opinion that these Parrayas are of Kolarian and not of Paria origin. “Another suggestion I would like to make before leaving this subject is that the word may spring from the Hindi words ‘pala ona' wºrtanſ, to flee, wºrtanta, “palayaman,’ running away, quºtaº palayan,’ flight, ‘palayan,” “parayan,” means a fugitive. The word Palamau may signify a place of flight, a refuge for fugitives, which it was well adapted for, situated as it is so close to one of the oldest seats of civilization in India.” 20. There seems to me, however, no sufficient reason for accepting Mr. Forbes' meaning of the word. No one is known to have fled from or to Palamau, hence why should the word mean flight or to flee ? The probable meaning of Palamau appears to me to be this. The district, as is well known, is afflicted during the winter months of December to February with heavy falls of frost, and the injury done by it is so great that fields of kurthi and rahar, as well as large trees, are so scorched that frequently not a green leaf is to be seen on them. Now, the Hindi word ‘JPala' means frost and the gaonáñri Hindi word “moo’’ or “mu ’’ means “to die.” The word “moo gia’’ is often used in Palamau for explaining “is dead.” Taken together, the words “Pala” and “moo” would mean, dead from frost. In my opinion, therefore, the word Palamau or Palamoo simply means dead from frost. The word is spelt in petitions and vernacular official papers as quitº and not as quiſit or Tºſit, mentioned by Mr. Forbes. - 21. Early history.—But little is known concerning the early history of Palamau. The information on this subject collected for Mr. Forbes by his settlement peshkar, Babu. Anokhy Lal, who is still in Daltonganj, will be found in page 27 of his final report. For a detailed and interesting account of the district, however, I would refer the reader to Hunter’s “Statistical Account of Lohardaga District,” volume XVI, page 454. 22. Objects of antiquarian interest.—The only object of interest is the Palamau fort. This place was the seat of the old Rajas of Palamau. There are two extensive forts, the walls and other buildings of which are built entirely of brick and stone. The walls, which are in fair preservation, are about five feet in thickness, and those in the old fort bear marks of cannon balls and bullets in many places. The gate leading into the old fort, the court-room, temple, and zanama quarters of the Rajas, as also two deep, but silted-up wells in the old fort, are very interesting. Most interesting of all, however, is a massive beautifully carved stone gate (the Nagpuri Gate) in the new fort and a round room, in which a well had been sunk to provide a supply of drinking-water. Both forts lie within Government Reserved forests, and in many places are now covered by jungle. I would ask Government to cause the gate be removed to Daltonganj and preserved. SECTION III.-SOILS. 23. Varieties of soils.-The soils of the villages in Palamau, as understood by the raiyats, are mentioned below in order in which they stand:— (1) Kewal, awal; kewal, dursa or dorasa ; and kewal, doma.-This is a calcareous soil of a blackish hue, and principally devoted to the growth of paddy, wheat, and barley. Its most prominent attribute is cohesion; its specific gravity is sensibly greater than that of any of the other soils. After a rainfall it is easily ploughed, can be thickly sown, and yields a superior quality of wheat. It has an extraordinary faculty for retaining miosture, and is considered to be the best soil of the district, and in many places yields a crop of paddy and one of khesari (Lathyrus sativus) in the same year. Gram and masuri (Erwum lens) are also grown on kewal soil. ( 5 ) (2) Pawar dulki ; pawar lalka; and pawar ankri–This is a mixed soil of clay and sand, the latter preponderating. It pulverises freely, and is of a light greyish colour. It is comparatively easily ploughºd, and its favourite crops are gram, marua, and barley. Wheat will not thrive in it in the natural condition of the soil; but artificially fertilized with irrigation and manure pawar will grow most crops. 6) Gorea or Doma. (4) Gangti. . (5) Pathl; or Ankri. (6) Lalki. (7) Balsoondar. (8) Rehra. 24. From three to seven are poor soils. Gram, linseed, til (gingelly), kodo, and pulses of sorts are grown on them; but the outturn is less than that from pawar. Gorea is a light, white, sandy soil. If irrigated, rice can be grown on it with good results. Gangli contains a large proportion of kankar lime. Pathl; or ankri is a refuse soil. It lies on slopes, on the beds, and on the margins of ravines, and is full of gravel and small pebbles, Lalki and balsoondar are red soils containing sand, and gravel mixed with fine clay. If the latter soil be irrigated, it yields good crops, hence the saying:- - “Sare bél, Kare nehal.” (If Balsoondar soil be well watered, it yields abundantly.) Rehra is barren waste. This soil is licked by cattle owing to the large amount of salt it contains. - 25. In paragraph 331 of this report I have explained how the lands con- taining these soils were classified for assessment purposes. CHAPTER III. COMMUNICATIONS. - SECTION I.-LINES OF RAIL. 26. The nearest railway station to Daltonganj at present is Gaya, which is about 86 miles distant. The construction of a line from Baroon, on the Són river, to the Daltonganj coal-fields at Rajhara, has been sanctioned by the Imperial Government, but it is not known when the work will be commenced.

Improvements made since last settlement.—From 1 to 4 are old roads which were in existence or under construction at last settlement. The others are new OneS. 29 Besides the above-mentioned roads, all of which are kutcha, there are many old-established foot-tracks in the southern part of the district, which is a large tract of roadless country, mostly covered by jungle and forest. No part of the district stands more urgently in need of opening out by construction of new roads than this southern part, the principal foot-tracks in which are (1) those leading from Daltonganj, viz., Ker, Garoo, and Bareysand to Mahuadanr (a police-station) and Chechari, and (2) those leading to Bhandariya and Chetkie and also Hutar, where there is a large and important coal-field. I would strongly recommend the construction of the following roads, which would not only help to open out the district, but would also be useful for working the Reserved forests which lie to the south of the district. Some of them would be good feeder roads for the railway, and would be of great use in opening up tracts where large quantities of iron ore are known to exist, and where iron manufactories may be started:— (a) Ranka to Sirguja. (b) Daltonganj vid Ker to Bareysand and Chechari. (c) Garoo viá. Seema to Sarjoo and Latiahar. (d) Balumath wiá Hirhing to Pankey. (e) Latiahar wiá Kurid to Pankey. (f) Chattarpur vid Soshiganj to Husseinabad. (g) Sonpura vić Bhaonathpur to Untari. SECTION III.-OTHER COMMUNICATIONS. 30. Navigable rivers.-The Són river is navigable by flat-bottomed country boats carrying 300 maunds up to Husseinabad during the rains only. The Koel is navigable by flat-bottomed 100-maund boats up to Daltonganj during the same period. 31. Ferries.—The following is a list of ferries under (1) Government, (2) the District Road Committee, and (3) private parties or zamindari ferries:— (1) UNDER Gover NMENT. 1. Dangwar ghât ferry. Y 2. Boodhooa. 3. Deari. - 4. Ranidewa. 5. Soondipura. These ferries are across the Són river, 6. Sonpura. > which separates the Palamau district from 7. Hariharpur. Shahabad and Mirzapur. 8. Kadhwan. 9. Parti. - 10 Khonka. ll. Gara. ~ ( 7 ) (2) UNDER DISTRICT BoARD. 1. Tharasee ghat ſorry.—Across Amanat river on 16th mile of Daltonganj- Ekgharra Road. (3) PRIVATE FERRIEs. • 1. Shahpur ghat ferry.—Across the Koel to Daltonganj. 2. Singra.-Across the Amanat river at 6th mile of Daltonganj to Maharajganj Road. CHAPTER IV. SECTION I.-SOURCES OF IRRIGATION. 32. Ahars or reservoirs.—Irrigation (patávan) is from ahars or reservoirs of various size, from masonry and kutcha wells, and in places occasionally from tanks. Ahars are made by throwing embankments across drainage hollows or across the natural slope of fields to interrupt the surface drainage. They are constructed of earth dug from the bed of the depression. The height of the embankment is usually eight to ten feet, while its width on the top is from four to occasionally as much as twenty feet. When the ahar is being made bhao (cylinders or tubes of baked earth) fitting one into the other are placed along its entire width as outlets for water, and one opening of the tube is in the ahar itself while the other is on the side of the fields to be irrigated. When the rains begin, the mouths of these cylinders on the ahar side are closed with either a lump of earth or with an iron karai or a bundle of straw or grass. Water then accumulates in the bed of the ahar. If there be insufficient rain in hatiya (September-October) the bhaos are opened and water passes through them into the paddy-fields below. As soon as the fields are sufficiently submerged, the cylinders or pipes are again closed. After eight days they are re-opened and water is again let into the fields. If there be no rain, the next watering is done in Chitra. After this if any water remains in the ahar it is let out in Swati (October) to allow the doob or basin of the ahar to dry for the purpose of being cultivated with wheat, barley, onions, garlic, and other garden and cold weather crops. It is the most valuable of all lands in Palamau. --- 33. The utility of ahars.—It is impossible to say too much of the utility of ahars or of the urgent necessity for making them wherever possible, and also of the importance of repairing them wherever they may be broken either from thoughtlessness of tenants in making cuttings in the embankment for the purpose of obtaining more water than passes out of the bhao, or from long neglect. Villages where ahars are in order never fail to give the agriculturist a good harvest of paddy whether rainfall be sufficient or not, while villages where ahars are in dis- repair or where there are no ahars yield little or no paddy. Unlike other districts, Palamau depends on reservoirs alone for the success or failure of the winter rice crop. If these be full of water, there is generally nothing to fear. If they be empty, paddy fails, and wheat and barley also yield a small outturn. There were 148 ahars at last settlement, against 1,095 found at this settlement. To this increase is chiefly due the increase in area of rice (dhankhet) land from 10458.89 acres at last settlement to 13,888-83 acres as now measured. Of the 1,095 ahars, more than half are in disrepair at present: hence the short outturn of paddy crop during the last two years, I would strongly urge that a special grant be made for putting them in order. The cost will not be much, while the benefit to the tenants, to Government, and the district generally will be immense. 34. In some places small streams which are dry in the summer are dammed up, and pynes or narrow water-channels are cut from them leading into the beds of ahars. In the rains these streams are swollen with water which passes along the pynes into the beds of ahars, which are soon filled to overflowing. The bhaos being left open the water flows into the kiaries or rice-fields. As soon as these are submerged to allow of ploughing operations and sufficient water is obtained in the ahar, the excess water is allowed to pass off by means of other pynes to other ahars, or, if more water is not needed, the excess runs through ( 8 ) a cutting called kanua into the bed of the stream behind the embankment or dam, and thence flows onwards. 35. Irrigation.—Necessity for constructing dams across the Nadaura and Hargarwa rivers.-And here I would beg to mention two important works which, if carried out, would be tho means of for ever preventing scarcity or loss of crops in two highly-cultivated and thickly-populated tracts. The first is in the damming up of the Nadaura river near Tarhasse in tappa Pundag, while the second is the damming up of the Hargarwa river near Lesliganj in tappa Kote. On my representation the cutting of a pyne from the Nadaura river, preparatory to damming up this stream, was begun this year as a famine work, but it was afterwards stopped for want of labourers. The expenditure of about Rs. 3,000 only will finish this work, and as soon as complete and in working order, it will be impossible for crops to fail in a group of thirty villages belonging to Government, in which there is at present over five hundred acres of rice land. As to the next work, viz., the damming up of Hurgarwa river, I have no hesitation in saying that, if this work be carried out, the reservoirs of some seventy villages, containing over 2,000 acres of rice land, will be well supplied with water, and loss of crops will never be known. These two schemes require the earnest attention of Government, and I trust they may receive early and favourable consideration. In mauza Sagalim, tappa Pundag, a small stream called Semur khar if dammed up would permanently benefit the village rice lands and convert some 200 acres of bhita and waste into first-class rice lands. 36. Irrigation.—Lever wells.--All wells, whether they be masonry or kutcha, are called indara. Of the former, there were 149 and the latter 573 at time of survey. Wells used for irrigating fields have a latha a few feet off, consisting of two sál posts planted about eight inches apart from each other. A few feet below the top of these posts a long wooden lever is . attached, with vertical action. At the end farthest from the well the lever is weighted with a heavy lump of sun-baked mud or with a large stone. To the near end is attached an iron cone-shaped bucket called kunri by a rope long enough to allow it to dip into the water at the bottom of the well. When not at work the far end of the lever is kept on the ground by the attached weight. When the well is at work a man, sometimes two men, stands near the mouth of the well, and pulls down the near end of the lever till the bucket dips into the water. He then lets go, and the weight of the other end supplies enough power to raise the bucket to the top of the well, where it is emptied into a shallow depression, whence the water is conducted by a small channel to the land to be irrigated. Irrigation by means of wells is found chiefly in tappas Pundag, Kote, Imli, Deogaon, and Goawal, where Koiries and Kunjras reside, and where sugar-cane and vegetables are largely grown. In seasons of drought and in villages where reservoirs are in disrepair, lever wells are frequently run up, and the area irrigated by them is large. The cost of erecting them is trifling. The bucket is made by the Lohar, and costs a rupee, and men as well as women may be seen working them. The average depth at which a sufficient supply of water is obtained between July and September for irrigation purposes is 12 feet, but in some places in Pundag I have known water to be found in fields all the year round at 4 to 6 feet depth. p 37. Tank water used for irrigation.—In seasons of drought water is obtained from tanks for irrigation purposes by cutting banks and making a channel leading to the fields to be irrigated. I have found this, however, only in the tanks at Kote and Loharsi, which are the largest in Palamau. I have also seen pools and ponds drained of their water by means of a basket called sair, 38. Basket-irrigation.—Two ropes are attached to each of two sides of a shallow basket, and are grasped by two men who hold one rope in each hand, and standing opposite each other in front of the pond from which the water is to be drawn dip the basket into the pond with a forward swing, which continued, throws the water out by the basket into a shallow depression, whence the water flows through a drain into either the bed of the ahar in which water is needed or into the land to be irrigated. This method is, however, practised in few places, the work being very heavy and requiring some skill. 39.

Climate.—The climate is for the plains temperate. With the excep- tion of the latter half of May and June if the rains have not come, the heat in ordinary years is not excessive and hot nights are few. About the end of March firing of the tops and sides of hills, preparatory to gathering of mahua from trees that are there, begins. This adds to the heat, and the rise in tem- perature becomes perceptible and goes on till the rains, which usually break about the middle of June and clear off about the middle of September. After that the mornings begin to get cool, and by the end of October the cold weather has regularly set in. There is usually rain about Christmas, though latterly exceptions to the rule have prevailed. If not, it is almost sure to come before the end of January. Frosts are heavy, and, as far as my experience goes, occur mostly during January. I have seen large trees and fields of kurthi (Dolichos biflorus), and rahar (Cajanus Indicus) in the southern tappas of Palamau, especially at Seema and Bareysand, completely scorched by frost as if they had been passed through a furnace. And the weather is so cold here during December and January that water kept in a basin at night in the open may be found in the morning frozen to an inch in thickness. Night after night the fly of my tent has been laden with hoar-frost, and often in the morning the ground all around has been a beautiful sheet of whiteness which has disappeared only after the sun had risen for about two hours. The cold weather proper lasts up to about the end of February, after which the high wind, called by the natives lahar, announcing the advent of the hot season, begins. Generally proceeding from the west, it lasts from about 10 A.M. to 3 P.M., and as the year goes on, it gets worse and worse and more and more dust-laden till the end of May, degenerating at times into regular yellow dust-storms and whirlwinds called bandowa. The general height of the temperature in the depth of winter in the afternoon and in the shade is from 38° to 68°; in the hottest season it is from 90° to 115°. But though the summer heat is so great, it is seldom very oppressive, being generally accompained by a refreshing south-easterly breeze, and the air being extremely dry. Hail-storms are not very common, and usually take place about February. A curious circumstance is the regularity with which atmospheric phenomena, as rainfall or dust-storms, repeat themselves day after day at almost the same hour. 44. Principal diseases of Palamau.-Of the effect of the climate on health, it may be said that ophthalmia is common in Palamau during the hot season, and is believed to arise from checked perspiration; but is aggravated by the dust and intense glare that prevails, and also by the general neglect of the people of themselves. Many of them not knowing how to treat it allow it to run its course { 13 ) with the result that some of them are deprived of the sight of one or both of their eyes. Malarial fever with spleens enlarged to perhaps a greater extent than is found in other parts of Bengal, as also dysentery and diarrhoea and a skin disease called sewałó, which often prostrates people and from which they are great sufferers, are the principal diseases of Palamau, while epidemics of cholera occur quadrennially, and less frequently biennially, almost throughout the district, and deaths from this disease alone are generally appalling. The number of reported deaths from all diseases that occurred in 1894 was 26,369, or 44.18 per mille of the total population; in 1895 it was 16,528, or 27.69 per mille, and in 1896 it was 18,084, or 30:30 per mille. Of these, the number of deaths from fever alone in 1894 was 16,312, or 27:33 per mille; in 1895, 13,462, or 22:55 per mille; and in 1896, 15,219, or 25-50 per mille. The most feverish months in Palamau are August to November owing to the damp and, in places, water-logged condition of the soil, and as the Koel and Amanat valleys retain moisture until late in the cold season, it is not considered safe to go into camp till December. But although Palamau is regarded as an unhealthy district, the average tenure of life may be put down at 30 years. The largest number of deaths from fever are believed to occur in the southern tappas, where heavy jungle and Reserved forests exist, while in the northern tappas many men have passed the age of 50 years, and a few are known to have exceeded the age of 70 years. - CEIAPTER VII.

It lies on the right bank of the Koel river, and is the head-quarters of the Palamau district. Daltonganj is the only municipality in the district, and contains a police-station, large district school, dispensary, post and telegraph office, dák bungalow, pucka court-house, and jail. new charitable dispensary building has been erected at a cost of Rs. 11,000, of which Rs. 8,000 were paid by Bhya Dirgaj Deo, of Nagar Untari. The roads are well made, with some fine avenues of teak, mango and cork trees. A few of the houses are of burnt brick, but most are of sun-dried bricks, and all have ordinary tiled roofs. The chief townspeople are Kayasths, Rajputs, and Muhammadans, who are on - ( 14 ) - very friendly terms with each other, so much so that the festivals of the Muham- madans are joined in by the Hindus. A large market is held at Daltonganj on Wednesdays, and brisk trade in lac, rice, ghi, wheat and all country produce is carried on throughout the year. A fair commencing on 13th Magh and lasting for about a month is held annually under Government auspices. The principal drawback of Daltonganj is its isolated situation. The nearest railway station of Gaya is 86 miles distant by one route and 110 miles by another. Were the town connected with the railway system of India, there would be advancement and material improvement all around. The town is considered to be unhealthy owing to its being overcrowded. Much fever prevails here, especially towards close of the rains, and quadrennially from March to about end of July epidemics of cholera occur, and are the cause of great loss of life. 47. On the opposite bank of the Koel is the town of Shahpur, which is part of Daltonganj Municipality. Shahpur was at one time the residence of the late Maharaja of Palamau. Messrs. Jardine, Skinner and Company have a large agency here for purchase of raw lac. The appearance of Shahpur town at sunrise is pleasing in the highest degree. It is built on a high tract of land, and therefore affords an amphitheatrical view from Daltonganj. The old palace of the Maharaja, now a ruin, the white Sivala, and other pucka buildings, the huts roofed with red tiles, the crowds of trees of all kinds reared above the buildings, all sharply defined against the clear blue sky, give an appearance of lightness and cheerfulness which is most exhilarating, 48. Garhwa obtains its name from the fact that it is built on low land. It is surrounded on three sides by the Dauree and Sarsati rivers. It has the most important market in Palamau, and perhaps also in Chota Nagpur Division. The market begins on Thursdays, and lasts till Saturday. During this time about 10,000 people from Palamau, Shahabad, Mirzapur, Sirguja, and Gaya attend the market, and some 500 pack bullocks come in daily on market days. There is a police-station, school, pound, post and telegraph office, and rest- house. There are several pucka built houses and Sivalas. There are unmetalled roads leading to Ranka, Daltonganj, Husseinabad, Nagar Untari, and Mirzapur, and all are fit for wheel traffic during the rains. Lac, rice, wheat, mahua, gram, and oil-seeds of all kinds, as also ghi, are sold wholesale here, and trade is very brisk. The principal exports are lac, ghi, and oil-seeds. The importance of Garhwa as a centre of trade lies in the fact that a great portion of the agricul- tural produce of the Tributary States of Sirguja finds its way into this håt, where, having changed hands, it is exported wid Husseinabad and the canal station at Baroon to Calcutta and other places. . . 49. Husseinabad is said to have been founded by Nawab Syud Hedayet Ali Khan Bahadur, who was Haib suba under the Emperor Shah Alam of Delhi, and to whom a “Sanad altamga" of pargana Japla was given. The town was named after Husseini, one of the grandsons of the Prophet Mahomed, and it stands on the site of village Japla Danaira. There is a police-station, post and telegraph offices, upper primary school, and a large market, which is held on Sundays and Thursdays. The town is within two miles of the Són river, and about thirty miles distant from Dehree. A good view of the tableland of Rohtas, to the west, in Shahabad district, is to be seen from here rising nearly 2,000 feet above the plain. 50. Cheinpur is said to mean a place of happiness, and is the residence of Raja Thakurai Bhagwat Dyal Singh Bahadur, one of the jagirdars of Palamau and an Honorary Magistrate. It is situate about two miles west of Daltonganj, with a good gravelled road leading to it. A market is held here on Saturdays, and a large trade is carried on in lac during the season. Ordinary country durries and brass utensils are made in Cheinpur, and the town contains the ruins of an old fort somewhat the worse for the ravages of time. 51. Hydernagar bears its name from Ali or Haider, father of Hussein, and was founded subsequent to Husseinabad by Syud Naki Ali Khan, son of Nawab Syud Hedayet Ali Khan. There is a lower primary school and a large market, which is held on Tuesdays and Fridays. 52. Ranka obtains its name from the word Rank, meaning beggar, and is the residence of the present Chief, Rai Thakurai Govind Persad Singh Bahadur. It is said that his ancestors used to support a number of beggars here, hence the name. Ranka lies at a distance of 14 miles south of Garhwa, and has a good - ( 15 ) cart road leading to it. A market is held here on Tuesdays, but is of little importance, owing to Garhwa being so near. Ranka is the head-quarters of a police-station. The place is unhealthy owing to the heavy jungle lands lying in the vicinity of it; but some of the best shooting grounds in Bengal are to be found here. There is a good rest-house, and also a well-provided charitable dispensary, which was established by Rai Thakurai Govind Pershad Singh, Bahadur, and is entirely supported by him. This Chief also made himself con- spicuous during the recent scarcity in the district by the many useful relief works he opened and the large number of people he helped thereby. His large- heartedness and willingness to help the needy at all times have endeared him to his tenants, and he is perhaps the most popular among the zamindars and jagir- dars of Palamau. 53. Satbarwa lies on the Daltonganj-Ranchi Road, and is an important trade centre. A bazar is held here on Wednesdays. Ghi, gur, and oilseeds are the chief articles exported. There is a school and post-office here. There are the remains of some old temples, and the place is of some historical interest. 54. Nagar Untari is the seat of Bhya Dirgaj Deo, a chief of Palamau. There is a police outpost, post-office, school, and police rest-house. A large market is held here on Tuesdays, and brisk trade is carried on in rice, grain, and oilseeds of all kinds. 55. Bisrampur is an old town and the seat of Babu Bhagwat Bux Rai, a descendant of the Chero rulers of Palamau. A market is held here on Sundays. 56. Hariharganj is situate on the Daltonganj-Gaya Road, and adjoins Maharajganj on the border of the Gaya district. A i. market is held here on Fridays. There is a police outpost, upper primary school, and rest-house. Important trade in rice and grain of all kinds is carried on here. 57. Nawa lies at a distance of about twenty miles to the north-east of Daltonganj, and is the seat of a Chief, Rai Kishen Bux Rai Bahadur, the direct descendant of the late Maharaja of Palamau. Roads leading to Nawa are under construction. A market is held here on Tuesdays, and fair trade is carried on in country produce. There is a rest-house here. 58. Pankey is important owing to the large trade that is carried on in rice, grain, lac, and oilseeds by several resident mahajans. A flourishing market is held on Fridays. There is a police outpost, rest-house, post-office, and pound. A road fit for wheel traffic has lately been constructed from Pankey to Lesliganj. 59. Latiahar is one of the oldest towns, and is situate on the Daltonganj- Ranchi Road. There is a police-station and rest-house, also a lower primary school, post-office, tahsil office, and pound. Messrs. Jardine, Skinner and Company have an agency here for purchase of raw lac. A market of little importance is held here on Fridays. 60. Lesliganj obtains its name from the late Mr. Matthew Leslie, who was Collector of Ramgarh. The head-quarters of the Palamau subdivision were here up to 1862, when they were removed to Daltonganj. There is a police- outpost, tahsil office, post-office, rest-house, and school. A small bazar is held here on Sundays. Lesliganj is called by the natives Chauni, because a regiment used to be stationed here. It lies on the Daltonganj-Sherghati Road, and is ten miles distant from Daltonganj. - SECTION II.-MARKETS. 61. Improvements since last settlement.—There were 43 weekly markets in pargana Palamau at last settlement. Since then pargana Tori has been added to the district, and there are now 96 markets in all. Of these, 11 belong to Government and 85 to jagirdars. Of the Government markets, the one at Ker was established by me about two years ago, and, if properly looked after, is likely to become a good mart for the sale of lac. Most of the Government markets are, however, in a neglected, languishing state, because it appears to be nobody's duty to improve and keep them clean or to watch whether chow- dhries or farmers are oppressive or not. Were the receipts from these markets, amounting to Rs. 834-6 in all, expended in sanitary improvements and erecting sheds, etc., much good would be done within a few years. Of all markets in ( 16 ) Palamau, the one at Garhwa is the largest and most important.

( 17 ) 62. Tolls in markets.-Every market has a chowdhry, whose duty it is to Weigh, all grain, lac, etc., that may be brought for sale. He levies tolls at the following rates:– (1) For all grain weighed, one powah (; seer kachi) is taken from the seller, and one Gorukhpuri pice from the buyer. - (2) A handful (called chungi) of grain is taken from petty shop-keepers selling rice or other grain brought in baskets. In some markets where small quantities are sold the toll is half a Gorukhpuri pice per rupee. When more than one hundred rupees' worth is sold the charge is four annas per cent. (3) For lac, ghi, and cotton the seller has to give one and a half seer per tangi of six maunds, while the purchaser has to pay for lac and cotton at two annas per tangi and for ghi at six annas per fangi. (4) When pack-bullocks bring articles for sale, the seller is charged half an anna per bullock. When articles are brought on carts, the charge is two annas per cart. - - (5) For cloth shops the seller has to pay a pice on each market day. In some markets cloth is measured by the dalal, who is generally a jolaha. For doing this the buyer has to pay him one pice per rupee on the value of the cloth purchased. (6) All petty shop-keepers have to pay one pice per rupee. (7) The Kumhar has to give an earthen pot every bazar day. (8) Sellers of baskets give a basket or a pice every market day. (9) The charge for cattle sold is two annas per animal and one anna per calf. 63. No two chowdhries levy tolls at same rates. In some places the chowdhry often compounds with sellers. Instead of levying tolls at each market, he takes tolls from the sellers annually according to their circumstances. SECTION III.-FAIRS. 64. The following is a list of the principal fairs of the district. None of them are religious gatherings. They are held for the purpose of enabling the people to provide themselves with new cattle, brassware, and other articles necessary for the agriculturist:— Estimated Willage or town.

The increase in cultivation of dhankhet or rice land appears to be small. This is due to my having caused a considerable area of land which the amins had entered in the khatians as 3rd class dhankhet to be classified and assessed as 1st class bhita. more favourable to the tenants. I did this (1) to remedy errors made at time of survey in classification of soil, and (2) because the rates for 1st class bhita were Moreover, the difference between 1st class bhita and 3rd class dhankhet is so fine that I preferred to lean on the side of the tenants in this matter.

Cheena, a millet (Panicum miliaceum) is sown by Koiris in Aghan (November-December) on the banks of the Amanat river and reaped in Magh (January–February); is again sown in Mugh and reaped in Cheyţ (March-April); is again sown in Cheyt and reaped in Jeyt (May-June). The crop is grown by irrigating fields. Another variety of cheena is grown by Kissans, Parhaiyas, Brijeas, and Korwas in villages lying to the south of the district. It is sown in Assar (June-July), and reaped in Bhadon (August-September). 136. Gondli (Panicum miliare) is sown in Assar in gorea or doma soil. The land is ploughed several times in Magh and Assar, after which seed (behrini) is sown at the rate of six seers per local bigha. No harrowing is done, but after sowing the land is ploughed lightly to allow of the seed being covered up by the soil. Germination takes place in six days. The outturn is about four maunds (pucca weight) per bigha. The crop is reaped in Sawan (July-August). 137. A gondli, called jarhanwa or burhia gondli because it ripens late, is sown by Korwas, Brijeas, and Parhaiyas in Assar (June-July), and reaped in Aghan (November-December). Dudhia or barka gondli is grown only by Parhaiyas. - - * ( 38 ) º 138. The grain is threshed (dàon) and winnowed (osawán) in the kharián, It is husked in the okhar. The pole with which the husking is done is called musar. The separation of the husk from the grain is done in a bamboo tray called Soupli and this operation is called phatkan. After this the grain is again rocked and cleaned in the soupſ. This is called dokan. Gondli is boiled in water and eaten as bhát together with vegetables, pulse or buttermilk. The straw is eaten by cattle only when fresh; otherwise it is thrown away or burnt for manure as white-ants are attracted by it. 139. Gora dhán, autumn rice, (Oryza sativa) is grown by cultivators of the southern tappas of Mankeri, Seema, Tappa, and Chechari on tanr lands without ayles and is of the following varieties:— (1) Kored (black), (2) alsonga (white), (3) chirai (fine white long grain), (4) kaio, (5) malehi, (6) Seraiphal, or batasphal, (7) ruliu, (8) raidyur, and (9) bakar; also (10) durga parsad, (11) ſhari, and (12) bondea are sown in the beginning of Assar (June-July) on manured land. By end of Assar the seedlings of the - three last-named varieties are ready and are transplanted. The other varieties are broad-casted in Assar, on third class rice lands and the crop is reaped in Assin (September-October). 140. In the cultivation of gora paddy the land has to be ploughed continually. The more ploughing the better the outturn, hence the saying:— “Bare mainá tere chás, Tab karo goro ke às.” (Plough thirteen times in twelve months, after which gora paddy may be sown.) 141. After ploughing the seed is broadcasted. One maund per bigha is sown. The land is then lightly re-ploughed, and afterwards harrowed. Germination takes place in eight days. After a month nikwan (weeding) is done once only. The paddy is ready for the sickle by end of Bhadon, (August- September) and is then reaped. The approximate outturn per bigha is seven maunds. The proportion of gora paddy sown in the southern tappas to aghani or jarhan paddy is about one-third to two-thirds. 142. Diseases.—Machi (a small green fly) attacks gora paddy when the grain is forming. To prevent this some assafoetida, called hing, is dissolved in water, which is poured over the seed prior to sowing. Another supposed remedy is this. When the fly is observed a branch of the Sinduar tree (Pogostemon Patchouli) is planted in the field. The man who plants the branch has to enter the field before daybreak and while cocks are crowing. He should go there quite naked, and without washing his mouth or touching water. A branch of the Karihari tree is also planted on the east and west sides of the field. The odour from this is said to drive away the flies. 143. Korhan dhán (Oryza sativa).-This paddy is sown in chowr, also called uperwar or third-class rice lands in the month of Assar (June-July). It ripens early, and is reaped in Katik. The varieties grown are:— (1) Karhanni, (2) satſi, (3) seri, (4) bakar, (5) bundia, (6) danr-banko, 7) karangi, (8) nata, (9) mahera, (10) ramdi, and 11) dhani. 144. Of these, danr-banko is sometimes transplanted; but all the varieties are generally sown by the lewa process, which is as follows. 145. The field is ploughed three times in Savan (July-August) after rainfall, and is worked into a puddle. Chaukmara (harrowing) is then done for the purpose of levelling the ground, and the seed is broadcasted. , Germination takes place in eight days; but on the third day the ayles of the field are cut and water on the ground is let out. When the plants are about six inches high, the ayles are again closed and water is allowed to collect. The more water now, the better the crop. After a month from sowing bedahi (light ploughing) is done. On the following day harrowing follows and kills the weeds. The crop is ready for the sickle in Aghan (November-December). One maund of seed is sown per local bigha. The outturn may be from ten to twelve maunds, but is always uncertain, hence the saying— “Tevá chevå kheti. Jog totam ke larká. Bhelá to bhela. Nai to gelá.” (Leva sowing is uncertain. It may succeed or it may not. If it fails, all is lost.) - ( 39 ) 146. Tewa dhan (Oryza sativa),—This paddy is broad-casted in Falgoon (February-March) and reaped in Jeyt (May-June). Is grown in the south of the district in the beds of small streams; but by very few people. Is sown by the lewa process. 147. Maize, Makai, (Zea mays-)—The principal bhadoi crop, and much depended on by the people, being their staple food. 148. Three kinds of makai are grown, viz. – Tepraiya a bluish grain, and piarka a yellow grain, are sown in Assar (June-July), and reaped in Assin (September-October); dudiya charak a soft, sweet white grain, which is liked best and cultivated most, is sown and harvested during the same periods, Tinpakhiya or tulbulia, a bluish grain with short cobs, is sown in Assar and reaped in Bhadon. - Malangwa or Khatangwa, a large white grain is sown in Assar in highly- manured lands and reaped in Katik. 149. The land is first ploughed in Magh (January-February) after mustard is reaped, provided the soil is moist, otherwise it is allowed to stand until the first fall of rain when ploughing and cross-ploughing is done three or four times. The next ploughing is done in Assar (June-July) from one corner of the field to another, and then in circles. While this ploughing proceeds, a person who walks behind does the sowing (bundn) by dropping seed, one by one, into the furrows at a distance of about twelve inches apart. After this choukmara or harrowing follows. Germination (ſamna) takes place in about six days. On the lapse of twelve days the soil is lightly turned up with a Maghi spade, and weeds are removed. When the plants are about a foot high, if their colour is not a bright healthy green, the soil is again loosened by light digging, and weeds are destroyed. If, on the other hand, the plants look well, they are allowed to grow, and they give no further trouble. The cobs begin appearing in about a month from time of sowing. Fields are then watched by “rakhwaries” both during day and night to prevent injury by squirrels, parrots, pig, bear, porcupines and jackals, and also loss from thieves. Each plant has from one to three cobs, but the third cob always has very poor grain. The plant is called makai. The cob is bdil, the seed is dénó, the thin leaf covering the cob is pathá, the strings that issue from on top the cob are bhuá, the stem holding the cobs is dánt, the flowers that burst on top of the plant before the cobs appear are jowkhá. The cob after seed is removed is harri. 150. In manured land (sares khet). Four seers of seed are sown per local bigha. If the land be poor (naram khet), six seers of seed are sown per bigha. The outturn varies according to rainfall and sun: the average may, however, be taken at ten maunds (pucka weight) per bigha. The seed should be sown thinly, hence the saying— “Birar makai, dhawa de kapas. Gháne bune Sanai se me lage nai batás.” (Sow makai and kapas thinly, allowing space between. Sow san thick so that wind may º not pass through it.) 151. The seed crushed in the dhenki is called ghata, and is boiled and eaten as bhat. It is also ground to flour in a silaut (stone slab) and eaten in the shape of roti (cakes). It is also fried and then ground in a fath (stone mill), and made into sathu and eaten mixed with water. The seed is fried in sand in a khapri (earthen plate) and made into lawa, and so eaten. The whole seed is often boiled and eaten. The cob is roasted and eaten. 152. The cobs intended for seed are selected with care. Only the best, largest, and ripest cobs are kept. There are several ways of storing makai seed grain. The cobs are tied together in small bundles and hung on a wall inside the hut or in the bhandar or granary. Sometimes seed is separated from the cobs and stored in a mora or basket of plaited straw, the mouth of which is plastered over with cowdung and made air tight. Frequently seed is kept in an earthen kunra or kachri or in a koti. The storing of seed grain is done during the andkra pak, or dark half of the month. If seed be stored during the inſora or light period, it is believed that insects injure it. After the seed is placed in the kachri sand is put over it and then cowdung ashes, and after this the mouth of the vessel is made air tight with a plastering of cowdung and water. ( 40 ) - 153. Diseases of maize.—A hairy worm called bhuá attacks the tender leaves and cobs, and causes loss. A small worm eats into the stalk and kill the plant. 154. The leaves of makai are eaten by cattle. The cobs after seed are removed are called harri and are dried and used as fuel. The harri reduced to ashes and dissolved in water together with a little salt is drunk as a remedy for stomachache. 155. Marua, a millet (Eleusine coracana".-There are two kinds of marua, viz., bhadoi marua, which is sown in Adra (June-July;for seedlings, is reaped in Katik (October-November) and charak or lapharwa or ſhabura marua, having long stems, which is also reaped in Kačik. The plot of land selected for growing seedlings on is called gachiar. Dry cowdung, called karsi, is burnt on it. This operation is called bira. With the fall of rain the seed is sown on the ashes, and the land is ploughed twice, after which choukmara or harrowing is done. Seed is sown in Assar (June-July), and the seedlings (gachi), which germinate in eight days, are ready for transplantation in about a month. During this period the land intended for the crop is cross-ploughed four or five times. This ploughing is done at intervals of eight or ten days. After this transplantation (ropan) follows. Transplanting is done by women called ropni. For doing this they receive two and-a-half seers of grain as banni. The crop is ready for the sickle by Katik (October-November), and is then reaped by women called banihars, who receive as wage one dauri (basketful) of whatever they may cut. The outturn averages eight maunds (kachi weight) per local bigha. The grain is threshed and then ground in a janta (stone mill) into flour, which is mixed with warm water and made into little cakes which are baked in an iron plate called tawa. The baking is called sekna. The cakes are roti, and are eaten with dāl, vegetables or mahua. The grain is also ground into sathu and mixed with either gram, makai or jau sathu and water and so . eaten in balls. Marua follows makai, sawan, urid or barai or any other upland crop, and is considered among the staple food of the people. Being an exhausting crop marua is not sown on the same land two years successively. The land on which it is transplanted is frequently manured by cattle being herded on it for three or four days before ploughing begins. If not grown on sargat or manured land, the outturn is small. 156. Menghri, a millet (Panicum psilopodium)—Is sown by Parhaiyas, Korwas, and other aboriginal tribes in Assar (June–July), and is reaped in Sawan. The seed resembles gondli, but is a smaller grain. Is called kułki || | gondli in tappa Chechari, where it is grown by Oraons. 157. The land is ploughed and cross-ploughed three or four times, after which the seed is broadcasted at the rate of nine seers per bigha. No harrowing is done; but after sowing the land is lightly ploughed. Germination takes place in eight or ten days. The outturn is from 4 to 10 maunds accord- ing to rainfall. The grain is husked in dhenki or okhar, and is boiled and eaten with dāl and vegetables as bhāţ. 158. Sawan, a millet (Panicum frumeniaceum).-Sawan is sown in lands which had yielded marua during the previous year and also on new uplands, and is grown all over the district. There are six varieties of Sawan, viz., charak sain, charak dudh kanrar, and jogia or lalka, also khaira, khama phal, kanda and ſhal. The last three have long seed stems. The charak sain is the small grain, the dudh kanrar is a larger grain, and the lalka is the largest grain. The land is ploughed and cross-ploughed for two days in Assar (June-July), and seed for sain variety is sown broadcast at the rate of six to eight seers per local bigha, and dudh kanrar and others at the rate of four seers per bigha. 159. After sowing light ploughing follows. No harrowing is done; nor - is the land ever weeded. The crop ripens in Bhadon (August-September) and is reaped at once, as delay causes loss by falling off of the grain from the stems. The outturn is approximately five maunds per bigha. The banihars who do the reaping receive as wages one-fourth of whatever they may be able to cut. The seed is husked in the okhar or dhenki, and boiled in water and eaten as bháč with dál or mátta (buttermilk. The straw is not much eaten by cattle. It rots quickly and is a good manure. 160. Barai (Phaseolus mungo)—There are two varieties, viz., hariar and karia. Both are sown as a simple crop in Assar (June–July), and are reaped in Katik (October-November). Is boiled and eaten as bhāt. Is ground into flour and eaten. Three seers of seed are sown per bigha, and the outturn is two maunds. ) ( 41 ) 161. Bodi (Vigna Catiang).--There are three varieties, viz., Katika bodi, Bhadeya bodi, and Dang bodi. The katika bodi is sown with makai, and often alone in Assar (June-July) and is reaped in Katik (October-November). Bhadeya bodi is sown alone and also with rahar (pulse) in Assar, and is reaped in Katik. Dangbodi bears transplantation and grows on fences round houses. It yields a crop up to Aghan (November-December). The pods of bodi are gathered and eaten as they ripen. This is done two or three times until the plant withers. After the crop has been reaped, cattle are allowed to graze on the leaves which are said to be very nutritious. 162. Tangun, (Setaria italica) a millet, grown by Brijeas, Parhaiyas, and other aboriginal tribes on hill sides on the south of the district. Is called erba by Brijeas. There are two varieties, viz., bhadaiya and aghani. Is sown in Assar and reaped, in Bhadon (August-September), and again in Aghan. Is boiled and eaten as bhāt, Is ground to flour and eaten in the shape of roti, - 163. Urid (Phaseolus radiatus)—Is of three varieties—Karia or bhadeya, º - sown in Assar (June-July) and reaped in Asin (September-October); karmua, sown with kurthi towards end of Bhadon and early part of Katik and reaped in Pous (December-January); and Soharai or tarangua, sown with marua in Assar, and reaped in Katik and Aghan. 164. Urid is sown in tanr and bhita lands, and follows a crop of Sawan or gondli. It is not sown on the same land annually, nor is land used for this crop manured. Ten seers of seed are sown per bigha. The outturn averages six maunds per bigha. Urid is boiled and eaten as dāl. It is also ground into a paste and made into small cone-shaped balls called adouri; the same paste mixed with til and made into balls of the same shape are called - tilouri; and mixed with a white gourd (kohnra or raksa) and made into balls is called kohnraori. These are cooked with vegetables as wanted, and are said to be much relished. The bhusa or husk of urid and all that is treaded by cattle in separating the grain is given to them and ponies, and is considered very nourishing fodder. Parhaiyas and Brijeas who grow urid exchange it with the Mahajan for an equal quantity of either rice or salt. AGHANI CROPs. 165. Bajra (Pennisetum typhoideum) is grown chiefly by Brijeas, Par- haiyas, and Korwas. Is sown broadcast in Assar and reaped in Aghan. Bajra is husked in okhar, and boiled and eaten as bhát. 166. Aghani or winter paddy is grown on low land, which is called dohar or kiari in the northern part of the district, and doon or dodon in the southern tappas. Jarhan dhan is grown on kiari or dohar lands. The several varieties being as follows:— Fine rice. Medium rice. Coarse rice. Name. | Colour of grain, Name. Colour of grain. Name.

In ras-buna paddy is sown on only first-class kiari lands. The field is ploughed and cross-ploughed from Magh (January–February) as soon as rain falls. These ploughings are called (1) pharan and (2) dobar. The soil being turned up is benefited by frost and sun. Again a second pharan and dobar ploughing is done in Phalgun (February-March), and similarly in Cheyi (March- April) and also in Bysack (April–May). In Jeyt the land is again ploughed, and seed is sown at the rate of one maund (pucka) per bigha. Germination takes place in eight days. When the plants are about six inches high, bedaha or light ploughing is done, and afterwards the land is harrowed (henga dewa). This destroys all the weeds. The ayles of the field are then banked up, so that water may not escape. If there be weed in Bhadon (August-September), banihars are employed to do the nikwan (weeding). The paddy ripens in Aughan (November-December), and is then reaped. The outturn is generally better than that of Korhan paddy, but less than ropa paddy, hence the saying— “Ras ghar bas Lewa ghar chewa Ropa ghar topa.” h º paddy supports one, lewa is uncertain, and ropa (transplanted) paddy fills the OllS0. 168. For ropa or transplanted paddy the proceedings are as follows:— The seed beds, called bihan bira, are highly manured with karsi or scrap- ings of the cattle-shed or with cowdung. Cows and sheep are frequently folded on fields that are intended for seed beds. In the month of Magh or as soon as rain falls, these fields are ploughed and cross-ploughed several times, and all weeds are carefully removed. With rainfall, and as soon as the field is well under water, the land is reploughed and cross-ploughed until the soil becomes mere puddle. After this it is harrowed, and seed is broadcasted. On the third day from sowing the ayles of the field are cut, and water is allowed to run out to prevent the seed from rotting. The seedlings, called bihan, are ready in about 20 or 30 days. Paddy is often sown on dry land for seedlings. These seedlings are considered best, and are called bodar bihan. The Assar (June-July) seedlings are transplanted in Sawan (July-August) or as soon as there is sufficient rainfall, and Sawan (July-August) seedlings are transplanted in Magha (August-September). The transplantation, called ropan, is done by women called ropni who are paid for this at the rate of three seers of grain as banni per diem. The seedlings are lifted from the beds by men and boys who are called bihan kábári. The men receive banni at the rate of three seers of grain each; boys are allowed half this quantity. 169. Religious ceremonies performed prior to transplantation of paddy.— Before transplantation can be done, however, the pachant, or ceremony of planting first five blades of paddy is performed by the baiga. He propitiates the deity Dhartidihiwar by killing ten fowls at the village gaonhel (sylvan shrine) and offering them to him. He lights a fire there, and pours ghi over it. This is called doing hoom. He then repeats the following lines:— “Dekho Maharaj chi chi kāl Bhumir kal, Sagre bihan hojáe Tanre tikure chhilak jáe Ghate nahi páre das ānti ubar jáe.” (Oh. king ! this is the time for planting and attending to the earth. Grant that the seedlings may grow everywhere, and that the tanr and kiari lands may be covered with crops, also that the outturn may not be short, but rather that it may be in excess). - 170. The panchát ceremony.—After this the baiga or village priest comes to the field where paddy is to be transplanted, bringing with him some sindur (ver- milion) and oil on a leaf, a lota of milk, some curd, and five small lumps of earth. He then again repeats the above-mentioned lines here, after which he takes five antis or blades of seedlings, and rubs each of them with sindur and oil. Having done this, he plants the seedlings in the field, and thereafter pours some milk over them. This is called the panchant. The baiga then tells the ropni (women) to begin transplantation. Before doing so, however, the owner 7 ( 43 ) º º º of the field supplies them with sindur and oil, with which they rub them- selves. They are also given a ball made up of mahua and til, together with some gram, either parched or soaked, as refreshment. On receipt of this they proceed with transplantation. 171. Religious ceremony priºr to harvesting.—The paddy ripens by Aghan (November-December). But before it can be harvested the baiga has to perform the keda ceremony. He cuts five araps or sheaves of paddy, threshes and husks some of it, and makes chura or parched rice. He takes this chura together with some milk and gur, to the gaonhel as an offering to the deity Dhartidihiwar. He takes fire and burns ghi over it to propitiate the deity. This is doing hoom. If he has wine, he pours it over the chura, together with some water. After this he returns home with the chura and instructs the people to begin reaping. This operation is performed by men as well as women, who receive as wages one bojá or bundle in every 21 that each of them may cut. 172. Diseases of paddy.—(1) Chátar; the plant ceases to grow and graudually dries up; (2) kharwat or khándwat; the plant withers and dies; (3) bānkā; the plant becomes white, and the yield of paddy is small. When this happens, a branch of the Sale tree and some straw are placed in the channel by which water passes into the field for irrigating it. This is said to remove the disease; (4) arai ; the plant comes up well; but suddenly, after flowering, withers and dies; and (5) machi; green flies suck all the milk from the grain. The remedy for green flies is to plant a branch of the Sinduſr tree (Pogostemon Patchouli) in the affected field. This should be done at daybreak only on Sundays and Tuesdays, and the person who may do the planting should not drink water until after the branch has been placed in the field. 173. Jinor (Sorghum vulgare)—Is sown with makai in bari lands in Assar (June–July), and is reaped in Katik and Aghan. The fresh leaves of jinor are good fodder for cattle; the stalks are thrown away or used as fuel. Jinor is ground into flour and eaten in cakes called roti. It is sometimes eaten as sathu. 174. Kodo (Paspalum scrobiculatum)—There are two kinds of kodo, viz., dusar, having a greyish colour, which is reaped in Aghan, and karia or ledaria, of a dark colour, which is reaped in Asin. Kodo generally follows til. With the fall of rain in Magh (January-February), the land is ploughed and cross-ploughed. Again in Assar or Adra (June–July), the second or dobar ploughing is done. The seed is then sown broadcast, after which bedai or light ploughing follows to allow of the seed being covered over by the soil. After this grass that may be on the field is collected and thrown away, and harrowing follows. Germination takes place in six to eight days. Ten seers (pucca) of seed are sown per bigha. The outturn is from twelve maunds per bigha. No manure of any kind is used. 175. The grain is threshed and eaten in the same manner as sawan. The straw is thrown away. In building walls of huts kodo straw is kneaded with the mud that is used for them. . Such walls are considered to be very strong, and are said not to crack. Koda is not grown much in tappa Seema, as the grain is believed to cause intoxication. 176. Kunuſ, a millet (Sisymbrium Iris)—Is a small black grain grown only by Parhaiyas, Brijeas, and Korwas. It is broadcasted in Assar and reaped in Aghan (November-December). It is reduced to flour in a fantha and eaten as sathu. 177. Loika—Is grown by Parhaiyas, Brijeas, and Korwas on hillsides where juming is done. It is sown in Assar and reaped in Aghan. It is a fine grain, and is husked in the okhar. Is cooked and eaten as bhát in the same way as Sawan. 178. Iºatia—Is grown on hill-sides by Brijeas, Parhaiyas, and Korwas. The seed is broadcasted in Assar, and is reaped in Aghan. Ratta is ground to flour and eaten in the shape of roti. 179. Selari—Is sown in Assar along with loika in the same land, and is reaped in Aghan. It is a fine grain, and is husked in the okhar and boiled and eaten as bhát. 180. Kurthi (Dolichos biflorus)—There are three varieties, viz., laſka, ujhar. ka and karia. The uſharka is the better kind. Kurthi is sown on pawar soil, and also on land from which a crop of Sawan has been reaped. It is also sown on H 2 # ( 44 ) - tanr lands. The field is ploughed and cross-ploughed three or four times, and all grass is removed. The seed is broadcasted, after which light ploughing and then harrowing follows. Sowings are made in Bhadon (August-September), at the rate of ten seers (pucca) per bigha, and the crop is reaped in Aghan and Pous (December-January). The outturn is four maunds. Sowing should be done moderately, hence the saying:— “Gan Kurthi, biral til. Dhawade kapás Esan bune Sanai Tanko nahi lage batás.” (Sow kurthi and til moderately and kapas at a pace apart. Sow san in such a way that wind may not pass through it.) 181. Diseases—Frost does much injury to kurthi which is sown in Asin (September-October). If the weather remains cloudy, a red caterpillar, called balui, injures the crop. 182. Kurthi is eaten boiled as dāl, and is also ground into flour and eaten as sathu. 183. Kusuan (Canavalia ensiformis)—Is grown only by Brijeas, Korwas, and Parhaiyas, and is a large flattish seed. Is sown in Jeyt (May-June), and harvested in Assar. Is eaten boiled. 184. Moong (Phaseolus mungo)—Is grown by only a few of the leading jagirdars and cultivators. Seed is sown in Bhadon (August-September), in pawar or balgal soil, and is reaped in Aghan. It is sown alone at the rate of two seers (pucca) per bigha. The outturn is two maunds per bigha. Is eaten boiled as dāl. 185. Tusru (Phaseolus mungo)—Is a pulse grown by Parhaiyas, Brijeas, and Korwas only on hill-sides, where beora or juming cultivation is #. Holes are made in the ground with a ram (called ramî or surgi), and seed grain is dropped into each hole separately. The crop is reaped at the end of Kuar. 186. Rahar (Gajanus Indicus).-There are three varieties, viz., aghania, chaiti, and ram rahar. The first two are sown on the plains along with sawan, gondli, and kodo, and also often with makai and marua in the months of Assar and Savan, and are reaped in Aghan and Cheyţ. Rahar is never sown alone. Ram rahar is grown on hill sides by Brijeas, Parhaiyas, and Korwas only, and is reaped in Magh. It is generally, exchanged by them with the mahajan or itinerant traders for an equal quantity of rice or salt instead of being sold in the local markets. - 187. The quantity of seed sown is two seers (pucca) a bigha. The outturn is about five maunds per bigha. Rahar is harvested by either cutting the stalks or stems from near the ground, which is called yarkattu process, or by the munrera process, which is simply to lop off about one cubit length from the top of the stem containing the pods. Whatever is cut is tied in bundles, and deposited in the kharian (threshing floor), where it dries for about ten days, after which it is treaded by cattle. Winnowing follows, and the grain is separated from the bhusa or husk. The latter is given to cattle as fodder. The stalks or stems are used as fuel, also for fencing fields, and covering roofs of huts. They are also sometimes made into baskets for carrying wheat bhusa, straw, etc. In cloudy weather or irregular rainfall rahar is often injured by a caterpillar called balui. Frost also often destroys whole fields of this crop. Rahar is boiled and eaten as dāl. It is also ground and eaten as sathu. 188. Semi (Dolichos lablab).-There are three varieties, viz., batroiya, laika, and charka. Is sown in bari lands in Assar, and being a creeper soon covers the ghoran (fences) that are prepared for it round homesteads. It is a crop of considerable importance in Palamau. The fruit is obtained from Aghan (November-December), to Cheſt (March-April), and is among the staple food of the people. It is eaten cooked as tian (curry); is also boiled and eaten. The ripe seed is stored and eaten as dāl, is also fried and eaten, and is often ground into flour and eaten as sathu. 189. Lotni (Brassica juncea)-Is sown on Asin (September-October) in bari land, and follows makai. It is grown chiefly for home consumption. Oil is expressed from 16 for rubbing over the body, and the refuse is eaten by cattle. Three seers are sown per bigha, and the outturn is five maunds per bigha. º - - - ( 45 ) 190. Diseases.—A black insect called lahi attacks the flowers. When this appears the outturn is very small. - 191. Til, ginjelly (Sessamum Indicum)—Is sown on new tanr lands called nawa khet in the month of Bhadon. There are three varieties, viz., 1) charka or painki (white); (2) suári (black); and (3) karia (black). No manure is used. | The land is ploughed and cross-ploughed three times, after which the seed is broadcasted at the rate of two seers per bigha. The land is then lightly reploughed. No harrowing is done. The outturn is four maunds. The charka til yields most oil and is reaped in Katik; karia comes next and is reaped in Aghan, and suari, a large seed, is cut in Asin. 192. Til is fried and eaten with mahua. It is also fried and eaten alone. Oil is expressed from it, and used for rubbing over the body and head. Sweet- meats are made of til oil and also of the seed. 193. Cotton, Kapas, (Gossypium herbaceum)—Two varieties of cotton . . . are grown, viz., one called dahia kapas and kachar or kachhauni kapas. Dahia cotton is always grown on new lands. Wood is collected and placed on the field where the crop is to be grown, and is burnt in Bysack (April–May). The ashes remain on the ground. In Adra (June-July), as soon as rain falls | cottom seed called banour is broadcasted at the rate of ten seers per bigha, and the land is then ploughed and allowed to rest. No harrowing is done. Ger- mination takes place in six to eight days. As soon as two leaves appear the | field is fenced; this is called the ghurna. In Sawan (July-August), and again in Bhadon (August-September), nikwan or weeding is done. The flower, a | yellow one, appears at the end of Bhadon, and the pods form in Kuar (September-October). The pods begin bursting (phutna) in Katik (October- November), and the cotton is then collected. 194. In Kaehhauni cotton the land is ploughed in Assar, and seed is | broadcasted. No manure is used. The crop is ready by Aughan, and is then gathered. Light weeding is done in dahia cotton, and it is harvested after the Baiga does puja. Kachhauni cotton may be reaped at any time as soon as ripe. 195. The most yield is from dahia cotton. The stalk of the plant is banga; the pod is dhenri; the stem on which the pod grows is danti; the cotton with seed is kapas; the cotton alone is rug; the seed is banour; the petals that cover the cotton in the pod are kosa. Each plant has from three to five pods. The outturn per bigha is four maunds. The banour is separated from cotton in the charka, and is roasted in sand. The kernel called guri bursts, and is eaten. 196. Kudrum (Habiscus cannabinus)—Is sown in Assar with either cotton or makai. It is never sown alone. Is reaped in Aghan. The young leaves are eaten as vegetable. The ripe seed is fried and ground and eaten with | mahua. The stalks provide string. They are steeped in water for eight days, after which the fibre is removed, dried, and twisted into string. - 197. Hemp, San (Crotolaria Juncea)—Is sown in the month of Assar (Adra snachhatre) in bari lands on pawar or gorea soil. The land is ploughed once, and seed, called bichi, is broadcasted, after which a second ploughing and then harrowing follows. A maund of seed is sown per bigha of land. Sowing should be done thickly, hence the saying— “Gan kurthi biral déât Dhawa de kapas Aisan birhinia buniya Saniya Mukh na lage batas.” (Sow kurthi moderately and cotton seed at one pace apart. Oh husband sow san in such a manner that wind may not blow through it on your face.) | 198. The seed is said to germinate within twelve hours. The crop is cut in Magh and Pous, and the stalks are allowed to dry for eight days, after which they are tied in bundles called larcha. The upper ends (palai) containing seed pods are cut off and taken to the kharian, where they are threshed and the seed is removed. The husk or bhusá is given to milch cows and cattle generally. - 199. The lower end, called sanai, are tied in bundles or boſhas, and are steeped in water for five or six days. They are then beaten on a stone, and the fibre (rua) is removed, while the sticks are used for fuel, and also for thatching houses, and sometimes also for ſhalkas (scarecrows). It is said that roofs of houses that are thatched with San sticks are absolutely waterproof. The fibre is º: ( 46 ) then spun into string in a dhera (spinning-wheel), and afterwards this string is made into tats (strips of cloth), which are sold to mahajans and owners of pack-bullocks at eight annas for 20 cubits length. 200. Sugarcane, katari (saccharum officinarum).-The several varieties are— 1) Katar—Is a white long cane that yields the most juice. § Bhumraliya—Is a short cane, the juice of which possesses a saltish taste. It yields little juice, but the juice when boiled is said to become very thick and to weigh more than ketar juice. (3) Mungo or Man Katar—Is a short white cane with little juice. 201. The ketar variety is chiefly grown in the district. The top of the cane is called ager. This is used by people for thatching houses. It is also given to cattle as fodder. From the ager to the true cane about a cubit in length is cut off. This is called the pohonra, and is the seedling. The part between the pohonra and the roots, i.e., the true cane, is called the danr. The whole cane is katari. 202. Ploughing.—The first ploughing (chas) is done in the month of Assar (June-July). The field is ploughed and cross-ploughed, and then harrowed, after which it is allowed rest. Again, in the month of Assin (September-October), ploughing and harrowing goes on continually, until the soil is reduced to a fine tilth. The number of ploughings at this time varies from ten to twenty, according to the soil. The land is then again allowed rest. After this cane of the previous year that is on fields, being ripe for cutting, are attended to. Lopping the came off from the root is called para, and is done by men with a tangi (axe). The cutting off of the upper end of the cane, which consists of the ager and pohonra, is called munrerna, and is done with a sickle. This portion is carefully stacked in the field, one against the other with their leaves covering them for protection against the sun. The making of yur then proceeds. 203. Expressung of juice and making of gur.—The cane juice is expressed in Behea mill, which is in use throughout the district. A pole called juat is fixed to the upper part of the mill, and a bullock is yoked to it with a leather rope (ſothi). While the bullock travels round and round a man who is seated in front of the mill feeds it. The juice falls from the mill into an earthen jar called thilla or khachri. From the khachri it is poured into an iron pan called karrá, in which it is boiled until it becomes sufficiently consistent. A wooden spoon called ghortan or dabian is used for stirring the juice during, the process of boiling. As soon as it is thick enough to settle and congeal it is removed from the karra with a wooden ladle called khurpi, and poured into a wooden form called katra. In this, as soon as cool, the gur takes the shape of large square slabs called chhaki. After the katra is full, if any gur remains over in the karra, it is carefully removed, and made into balls called bhelia. The refuse cane after the juice is expressed passes out of the mill in opposite direction. It is called chipi or khoia, and is used as fuel for the long furnace (chula) on which the karra remains. - 204. Immediately on gur-making being finished, the field on which sugarcane is to be grown is again attended to. The ager with the pohonra which had been stacked are now separated. The latter is cut off with a tangi, and is steeped in still water for four to eight days during which shoots called ank appear. The pohonra are then planted on the prepared ground. The number of cuttings used per bigha is determined as follows:—Five pohonras are taken in the right hand and five in the left hand. These ten make one dhara. Forty dharas are counted in this manner, and complete one lakri, Eleven lakris are equal to one khar, and two and-a-half khars of pohonras, each of which should be a cubit in length, are used per bigha of land. As soon as planting of the cuttings is finished the field is irrigated. On the lapse of four days the land is ploughed in a circle from right to left. The cuttings that are worked up in the furrows (sirour) are put back therein by a man who remains behind the plough for this purpose. The field is then irrigated. Eight days after another ploughing follows for the purpose of loosen ing the soil. The cuttings that are worked up are again put back, and after this harrowing is done, first along the length of the field, and then breadthways in order to break up all clods of earth. The cuttings now take root, and the shoots from them appear in Falgoon. In Cheyt (March-April), they are about ( 47 ) * - six inches or a foot high. The field is then again irrigated and afterwards hoed. This hoeing is called ganrari katna. Three days afterwards the land is again hoed. This is called uſhina. Each time the field is irrigated it must be hoed ganrari and uſhilna. The banks round fields are called ayle. Each field is divided into small squares called kiari or ganrari. Drains are made on the sides of these squares for irrigation purposes and are called karhá. Hoeing and irrigat- ing assists growth of the cane, and are continued with suitable intervals until Assar, when the canes are banked up (called paunchi bharan) with earth, and allowed to rest. They become ripe by Aughan, and from then up to Pous the cutting and cleaning called cholai goes on for the purpose of making gur. The women who cut off the leaves and prepare the cane for the mill are called cholai. For doing this each is paid one seer of gur per day, or if they take came also, each receives from two to five pieces of cane and half-a-seer of gur. 205. On the day on which the sugarcane is cut and taken to the mill five canes are made over to the barhi as an offering for propitiation of the deity, Bisso Karma. The barhi makes three balls of earth and places them alongside the plinth of the kolsar (the place where the juice is expressed). The five canes are kept here. After this expressing of the juice and manufacture of gur proceeds. From the first of this gur five small balls (dheli) are made over to the barhi as an offering to Bisso Karma. These and the five canes are taken by the barhi. 206. In Assar, after fields intended for sugarcane are ploughed, cows or sheep are folded there for a month or so. People who are unable to do this use cowdung as manure, and also ashes of burnt cattle-droppings. 207. The hire of a pair of bullocks employed in the mill is nine seers of gur a day. The man who drives the bullocks gets one seer of gur per day and half-a-seer per night. Each pair of bullocks have to express juice to fill three kachris. Each kachri or thiſla contains six paseris or eighteen seers (kachi) of juice, which yields six seers of gur. 208. Diseases of sugarcane—Sumbár. The cane dries up in Bysack. On cutting it open worms are found inside. RABI crops. 209. Wheat, Goham (Triticum Sativum). Three varieties of wheat are grown in Palamau, viz. – (1) Champapuri or daodi. A soft white grain, which is always sown in kewal soil. (2) Murdli or harhi. A soft, white, beardless grain. (3) Jagia or lalka. A rather hard, red grain. The murdli variety is grown by few people. 210. Wheat is grown on both doob and bhita lands in kewaz and gorea soils. It often follows makai on bari lands; but the outturn is small. The best outturn is obtained from doob lands. 211. The first ploughing is done in Assar, and the soil is exposed to the sun. Again in Katik or Kuar the land is ploughed as often as possible. The more ploughings now the better the outturn. The field is then harrowed, and the seed is sown with the help of a taria plough. A bamboo cylinder with a wooden cup on top of it, called mala bansa, is fixed to the plough. While the plough is working round the field seed is dropped into the furrows through the cup and cylinder. If the soil be soft, both ploughing and sowing are done by one man, otherwise two men are employed. 212. The crop is ready by Cheyt, and is then harvested by both men and women called banihars. It is cut and tied up in bojhas or bundles, and brought into the kharian, where it is spread and allowed to dry for two or three days. For their labour for harvesting the crop the banihars receive one bojha of wheat in every 21 bojhas. Kamias of the village who may be employed in reaping are required to also clean the kharian and plaster it with cow- dung. For doing this each of them is allowed one anti or sheaf of wheat. As soon as sufficiently dry the wheat is threshed by a line of six or seven bullocks tied to each other by the neck, and then to a pole called meh, which is fixed to the ground in the centre of the kharian. Threshing is called daonri, and is done two days for about three hours each day. The treading ( 48 ) by bullocks separates the grain from the blades. After this osawan or winnowing is done. Khurdaon or retreading by cattle follows this winnowing, after which a second winnowing is done. If any straw be left with the grain, it is carefully separated with the barni or broom. This is called Sarhatal. 213. After the daonri or treading is finished, and before the bullocks are released, a handful of the straw is taken, and a lump of dung is placed on it. The bullocks are made to smell this, and the following lines are repeated by the owner of the grain:— “Lachmi sãns dé, Sao Mahájan häkim se ugar garhan hojae.” (May the cattle have time for rest. May the mahajan's dues and the rent of the land be satisfied.) 214. Religious ceremonies prior to weighment of grain.—The lump of dung is then kept on the meh or pole to which the bullocks had been tied. After this the clean grain is carefully arranged in a circular heap, which is called dheri, and is made flat on the top. The lump of cowdung is now placed on top the dheri in the centre. The Brahman then takes some of the grain and mixes it with ghi in a pan, after which it is set ablaze. This is called doing hoom for propitiation the deity. The baiga also does puja. After this the owner of the grain takes some of it from the dhe, i, and presents it to the Brahman. This giving is called agaon. The quantity given is according to the outturn, or generally one paseri or six seers (kachi), which are divided between the Brahman and the Baiga; the former gets two-thirds and the latter one-third. After this ceremony weighment of the grain is made. 215. On tanr lands wheat and gram called but-goham, are sometimes sown together so that one or the other of these crops may be obtained in case either fails, 216. Tisi is frequently sown on the fringe of wheat fields for the purpose of preventing cattle from entering the fields. . The flower of tisi is said to be poisonous, especially if the seed is sown in hatiya nachhatar, (September- October), and is avoided by cattle. 217. The straw of wheat called bhusa is good fodder for cattle. It is often sold in the markets at about one anna per basket. 218. Diseases of wheat.—The only disease of wheat is harda or rust, the colour of which is yellow. It is said to be caused by continuous cloudy and wet weather. It sometimes attacks the late sowings of wheat, not the early sowings. The blades of wheat that may be attacked whither and yield no grain. The injury is generally slight. During cloudy weather there is sometimes a tendency among the natives to exaggerate the evil effects of harda. 219. Loss from insects.-The uchring or katoi, a large cricket, occasionally attacks the young plants and causes injury by biting the blades. It appears only in badly-ploughed land, in which lumps of earth are allowed to remain. In damp soil the cricket does no injury. A small cricket called gadaia bites the plant while it is growing. The karup worm also eats the plant at the root. It is said to run along the furrows (serowr or senwut), and to appear at night only. The remedy is to burn straw at night along the affected furrows. Grass-hoppers (phanga) and locusts (tirri) seldom injure wheat and other rabi crops. Hailstorms are feared most while wheat is growing, but my experience is that areas affected by them are very limited. 220. The above are the only troubles that the agriculturist is apt to suffer in growing wheat. When he sustains loss, however, it is generally trifling, and tales of such losses should always be accepted with caution, as the tendency is on the side of exaggeration. 221. Wheat is broken up in the janta, and cooked as porridge called ghatta. It is ground into flour and made into cakes called roti, and it is also fried and eaten as bhunjna. 222. Oats, Jai (Avena sativa).-Is grown by only a few of the leading zamindars on the same lines as wheat and barley, and is used by them for feeding horses. . It is a crop that does well in Palamau; but is not grown by the people as there is no demand for it. 223. Barley, Jau (Hordeum hexastichum).-There are two varieties, viz., ujla and karia. The land is ploughed and cross-ploughed five or six times between ( 49 ) Kuar and Katik. The seed is then broadcasted in Kaſik at the rate of a maund per bigha. The outturn is sixteen maunds to twenty maunds per bigha. * 224. Jau is generally sown alone; but sometimes gram and wheat are grown along with it in the same field in tanr lands. This is called bera. When jau and wheat are sown together it is called gojai, Jau is sometimes attacked by gerui, a yellow rust, which is attributed to cloudy weather and excessive rain. It reduces the outturn. A disease called koil also occasionally affects this crop. The grain becomes soft and, if pressed, is reduced to powder of a dark colour. Jau is ground into flour and eaten in cakes called roti, also as porridge called bhat, and as sathu, and it is fried and eaten as pharui. This crop thrives best on the side of streams and in moist third-class rice lands. 225. Gram or Chicken pea, Bút (Cicer arietenum).-The land is ploughed and cross-ploughed four or five times. Seed is sown in Katik at the rate of thirty seers per bigha. 226. In dhelgar khet (lumpy soil) the taria plough is used for sowing gram; in balgar khet (sandy soil reduced to a fine tilth) the seed is broadcasted. After sowing the field is lightly ploughed (bidaha) and then harrowed. Ger- mination takes place in eight days, and the plant grows quickly. In Aughan and Pous the tender leaves are plucked for ság and eaten as a vegetable. Towards end of Pous a post called rakhi with a bundle of straw tied on top of it is planted in the centre of the field. This sign indicates that no more pluck- ings of leaves should be made, and it is respected. The crop is harvested in Cheyſ. The banihars or reapers receive as wages one boja or bundle in every 21 that may be reaped. The balance is stacked for a couple of days in the hharian. As soon as sufficiently dry it is beaten with a stick to separate the leaves from the stalks. The leaves are winnowed and thus separated from the pods, which are again further beaten. After this threshing the grain is separated from the shell by further winnowing. If wheat and gram are grown together, the two crops are separated after winnowing with a sieve, which retains the gram and allows the wheat to pass through. The fine broken stalks, shell and leaves of gram are called bhusa and are given to cattle. The pods are called phal. The outturn is about six maunds per bigha. 226a. Diseases.—A small caterpillar called ghangra, which appears only when there is rain in Falgoon, causes loss of gram. It bores through the pod and eats up the seed. - 227. Gram is roasted and eaten as bhunjna. It is fried and ground, and , eaten as sathu. It is often mixed with jau, and eaten as Sathu. Green or unripe gram is eaten by all the natives. It is soaked in water over night and eaten next morning with salt. It is crushed in janta, and then husked in okhar and eaten as dāl. It is ground in the silot, mixed in water, and drunk as ſhor or pare. 228. Khesari (Lathyrus sativus)—Is sown in Katik (October-November) when paddy in kiari lands is in flower and gram is forming. Seed is broad. casted in the kiari lands at the rate of one maund per bigha, and the outturn is sixteen maunds. Khesari and gram are sometimes sown together. This is called khesar.but. Khesari is reaped in Cheyt (March-April). It is generally boiled and eaten as dāl; it is occasionally ground and eaten as sathu. 229. Masuri, Lentil (Ervum lens)—ls sown in Katik in third-class kiari or bhita lands, also in doob lands, and is reaped in Cheyt. Half a maund of seed is sown per bigha; the outturn is four maunds. Masuri is boiled and eaten as dāl, and is also ground into flour and eaten as sathu. 230. Matar (Pisum arvense}-Is sown in bari lands, generally near wells, whence it can be easily watered. It is also occasionally sown in Kiari lands in moist soil. Seed is sown in Katik at the rate of twelve seers per bigha, and is reaped in Cheyt. The outturn is unknown, as the pods are plucked as ripe and sold in markets. Matar is eaten with other vegetables. 231. Sugua batura—Is sown with khesari in kiari lands in Kalik when paddy is ripening, and is reaped in Cheyţ and Falgoon. Sugua batura is ground and eaten as 8athu. It is also boiled and eaten as dél. 232. Castor seed, Rehri (Recinus communis)—Is sown in bari lands in Assar. There are two varieties, viz., bagrehra, which yields large seed, and chaudki, which is a small seed, and falls from the pods as soon as ripe. Oil is expressed from the seed, and is used in the house for lamps, and also for softening shoes. ( 50 ) Large quantities of rehri are sold in Garhwa bazar and exported to Gya and other places. Brijias who grow rehri on hill-sides exchange it with the Mahajan for an equal quantity of rice. - 233. Mustard, Sarson (Brassica Campestris)—Is sown in Katik in bari lands after a crop of makai. It is also sown in highly-manured bhita lands. Four seers of seed are sown per bigha, and the outturn is three maunds per bigha. Oil is expressed from the seed, and is used for cooking food and rubbing over the body. The refuse or oilcake is eaten by cattle and sometimes also by the poorer people. The tender leaves (Ság) are eaten as a vegetable. 234. Sirguſia or jatangi (Guizotia abyssinica)—Is sown alone, and also often with kurthi in the same field in Bhadon. The crop is ready by Magh, and is then reaped. Oil is expressed from the seed, and is used for cooking food and rubbing over body, and also for lamps. Sirgujia grows best in gorea, soil and on banks of streams. Four seers of seed are sown per bigha, and the outturn is three maunds. 235. Surujmukhi (Sunflower)—Is sown in Bhadon and is reaped in Aghan. Is grown in few places in the southern tappas. Oil is expressed from the seed for burning in lamps, and also for cooking food. 236. Linseed, Tisi (Linum usitatissimum)—Is sown in Katik on ayles of rabi fields, and also alone in kewal or pawar soil. It follows Sawan or barai, and is sown at the rate of nine seers per bigha. The crop is reaped in Cheyt, The outturn is four maunds per bigha. 237. Diseases. Harda—a sort of yellow mildew or rust—affects tisi, and is caused by cloudy weather in Phalgoon. Katoi, an insect, also eats the young plants. It is a crop that is easily injured, hence the saying:— “Jau jame, Goham ghare àwe, Tisikátel piráwe.” (Barley is certain if it germinates, wheat when it is brought home, and tisi when oil is obtained from it.) 238. Tisi is fried and pounded with mahua in the okhar. The mixture is called latta, and is given to banihars or reapers in payment of wages. When the out turn is good oil is expressed from fisi. 239. Mahua (Bassia latifolia).-The number of mahua trees in the villages to which this report relates was not counted at time of survey. Thirty thousand four hundred and nineteen of this valuable and useful tree were, however, dealt with by us. Of these, 12,047 were allowed to the tenants rent- free and 18,372 were assessed to rent at the rates mentioned in paragraph 359. 240. There are three kinds of mahua-bearing trees, viz., (1) Faguni, (2) Cheyti, and (3) Bysakhi. They are named after the months in which they flower. The Cheyti mahua is said to generally yield the most flower. The part of the mahua which is eaten is the corolla of the flower, the colour of which is a light yellow. When fresh it has a peculiar luscious taste and quenches thirst; when dried it is very like a raisin. The blossoms spring from the ends of the smaller branches of the tree, in bunches of from twenty to thirty, and as they ripen swell with juice and fall to the ground. Much depends on the weather while the flowers are developing. The more sunshine and heat the better for this crop, while thunder, sheet lightning, and cloudy weather cause the blossoms to shrivel up. The work of collecting mahua is done by women and children between 6 and 11 A.M., which is the time that the blossoms fall during the season. The average yield of a tree is about 1 maund 25 seers of ripe blossom. 241. Mahua is eaten either dried, fried, or boiled, and is among the staple food of the people. The mahua fruit called dori, ripens in June. Its fleshy covering called kvinda is boiled and eaten. The seed yields oil, which is used for cooking food and also for burning purposes. SECTION IV.-PRICES OF FOOD-GRAINS. 242. Rise in prices of food-grains since last settlement.—The following table exhibits the prices current of the chief food-crops individually for the last twenty years. The cheap prices of the past, especially as regards rice, makai, and gram, will probably never occur again with the Moghalsarai- Gaya Railway now under construction. Were this railway connected with - ( 51 ) \ º:- º Daltonganj, foreign and distant markets, where prices rule high, would be able to keep easy touch with Garhwa and other of the larger markets of Palamau and influence their selling prices. What the Palamau agriculturist needs is a railway to wake him up to a new order of things, and when he is awoke he will soon find the ability to benefit by it. It is the local Sao or mahajan, with here and there some astute and thrifty jagirdars, exceptions to their species, who are flourishing at present at the expense of the humble, slow-moving rustic: – NAMHS or CRoPS, 1875. 1876. 1877. 1878. 1879. 1880. 1882. 1883. 1884. 1885. iss6. 1 2 3. 4. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Rs.

Exports consist mostly of raw produce, chiefly of lac, resin, catechu, cocoons, hides, ghi (clarified butter), fieur (arrowroot), concrete sugar, oilseeds and cotton. Lac goes to Imamganj in Gaya and thence to Calcutta; hides are sent to Dimapore, concrete sugar (gur) goes chiefly to Lohardaga; oilseeds, catechu, cocoons, and cotton are despatched vić Raniganj in Gaya to Calcutta. In the absence of a railway, trade is carried on by means of pack-bullocks, the most important marts being Garhwa, owing to its proximity to Sirguja, as also Daltonganj, Hussainabad, Cheinpur, Hariharganj, Nagar Untari, Pankey, and Pathra. 244. The principal articles of import are piece-goods direct from Calcutta, brass utensils from Mirzapore, Sasseram, and Daudnagar; salt from Dinapore, Dumraon, Nasriganj, and Barun; twist, yarn, and kerosine oil from Calcutta; sugar from Arrah and Gaya, and tobacoo from Tirhut, Monghyr, and Calcutta. 245. There are no trade-registering stations in the district, and no trade statistics are available. 246. The manufacturing industry of Palamau has got little beyond supplying the wants of a frugal agricultural population. Weaving is carried on everywhere, and in some villages of the northern tappas looms are numerous. Coarse cotton cloth is manufactured by Jolahas, and supplies most of the dress of the poorer classes; brass ornaments, plates and cups are made by thateras; lac bracelets (churi) and armlets (churla), which form the principal ornaments of the women of Palamau, are made by churihars; blankets are made by gareris; san cloth (fat) is made by Mallas for pack-bullock bags; leather jars (kupas) for H 2 º ( 52 ) keeping ghi in are made by Dabgars; catechu (kath) is manufactured by Mallas; coarse carpets (durries) are made by Dhunnyas and Kasabs in Shahpur, Cheinpur, and Daltonganj; cloth saddles (khugir) are made by Muchis, and lime is made by Nunias. Country guns are found all over the district, and are made by gunsmiths who sell them according to length of barrel, the rate being a rupee per span. The best guns are made at Hirhing, in tappa Tori, and Daltonganj; arrowroot (ſieur) is made in the southern tappas by Korwas, Parhaiyas, and, in places, by Kherwars; iron axes, ploughshares, and well buckets are made by Lohars; iron is smelted by Asur Agarias and Kol lohars. The ore is called bichi, and is crushed between two large stones and reduced to powder, which is put in a furnace called koti. The furnace is heated by fire made of charcoal called massala and the iron in liquid passes into a cavity at the base of it. As soon as the smelting is complete the koti is pierced at the base and the iron pours out into a hole which is made in the ground to receive it and where it is allowed to remain until cool. Six seers of iron are obtained from each maund of bichi. The bellows used for keeping the fire ablaze are called bhati. The smelting is done at intervals of three or four days. 247. Hides that are exported are roughly cured by chamars. The process of curing is this. The skin is rubbed over with lime and steeped in water in a nád (earthen jar), in which it remains for 7 or 8 days. It is then washed until the hair on it falls off, after which it is again steeped in water together with leaves of the aonra tree and salt for 7 days; after this it is taken out, and bark Manufacture of country guns. Iron smelting. of kahua tree well crushed is rubbed over it. The skin is then sewn up with. strips of khajur (date palm) leaf and is filled with water. It remains in this state for two days, and is then washed, salted, dried, and sold to the Sowdagar (trader) at eight to twelve annas per cow hide, Re. 1-4 per buffalo hide, and two annas - per goat skin. KoA (TASSER SILKwonM Cocoons). - 248. Koa or cocoons are obtained from the tasser silkworm moth, Antheraea Mylitta. The female moth is called kir and the male pursa. Both issue from the cocoon in the month of Adra (June), and are kept together in the morning as soon as out. They are separated in the evening of the same day, and after the wings of the female moth have been broken off, she is kept on a brass plate. During the night she lays eggs on the F. These eggs are taken up and rubbed lightly between the palms of the hands, and are then put into a cloth bag, where they remain for eight days during which they hatch and the worms called pilua appear. Small packets of leaves of the Asan tree with openings in them are then made up; the worms are enclosed in them, and they are kept in suitable positions on Asan trees. 249. On the fifth day the worms cast their skins, and on the eighth day they refuse food. On the ninth day they again begin eating. On the 30th day they form into koas or cocoons. These koas are kept for seed. Moths issue from them after twenty days, and eggs and worms in due course. Koas form again in Katik, and are then sold by number to the Mahajan. Koas are counted in the following manner:— - 5 koas equal one ganda. 21 gandas equal one hundred. 1,200 , equal one thousand. 250. The price of koas varies from Rs. 2 to Rs. 3 per 1,000 according to demand. Koas are exported from Palamau to Dinapore and Patna; but the trade is small and languishing owing to both Government and jagirdars having protected the Asan tree, which is the only tree on which silkworms are reared in this district. 251. The right of rearing silkworms for koa is farmed annually by Govern- ment. No revenue was obtained from this source last year; and as Asan is now a protected tree, it is doubtful whether anybody will accept settlement of silk- Worm rearing again. 252. The farmer charges the people who rear the worms at the rate of Rs. 2 to Rs. 5 per hansua or sickle. This may include three or four members of a family, each of whom may not only watch the worm while it is on the tree, but may also, with their sickles, remove the cocoons from the tree as soon as formed ( 53 ) on the branches. The cocoons being appended to inaccessible parts of the tree, they cannot generally be removed without cutting off the branches. But even when cocoons can be easily reached, the natives do not like to take the trouble of climbing trees and carefully removing the cocoons, but rather prefer to lopp off branches wholesale and at the nearest points. The result of this is that frequently Asan trees used for rearing silkworms on are absolutely bare of branches. Sometimes young Asan trees, trunk and all, are entirely cut down, and the destruction and waste are so great and unnecessary that it would, in my opinion, be wise policy to stop the farming of koa together. Only Mallas, Cheros, and a few Oraons attend to koa, and these only in the northern tappas of Palamau. KATH or CATECHU. 253. Kath is manufactured from the wood of the Khair trees (Acacia cate- chu). The trees that yield this substance are regarded as mature when about a foot in diameter. They are then felled by Mallas, who come from Gaya and other districts, and are cut up into blocks two or three feet long. Trees between twenty-five and thirty years old are regarded as best suited, and are said to ield more or less according to the number of white lines perceived in the }. The bark and the outer sap-wood are removed and rejected. The red heart-wood is cut up by men into small chips (chaili), which are then well stuffed in earthen jars called chatti. These jars are placed on a circular oven (chula), over which from four to six jars rest at the same time, and their contents are boiled for twelve to sixteen hours. During the process of boiling the juice (rus or arak) is allowed to overflow into another chatti, which is kept alongside for the purpose. From this the arak is poured into another earthen vessel, ſhawa (half a chatti), which is then placed on the fire. The liquid is boiled and stirred till it attains the consistency of syrup, and is then poured into another circular earthen vessel (karai), where it remains for one night to settle. On the following morning it is poured into a large basket (deli) through which it strains. The liquid portion called kans drips through the deli to the ground in a hollow which is made to receive it. The thick portion remains in the deli for about a month, during which it further thickens according to the temperature of the weather. The mass is then poured in a layer on the ground over ash, upon which it is kept for eight or ten days, during which it hardens. It is then cut up with a knife into squares (goties), in which shape it is sold to the mahajan or trader. - 254. Kath can only be made during the cold weather. It fails to harden on hot days, and Mallas therefore close work by the end of February. 255. The manufacture of kath involves the destruction of a very large number of Khair trees, which is one of the protected trees of Palamau. The Forest Department does not allow the cutting of this tree in Reserved forests for manufacture of kath. It is used for house-posts, ploughs, and making charcoal, for which it is admirably suited. Hitherto Mallas who came to the district every year in October, when the manufacture of kath begins, have cut down most of the best khair trees in Government villages, and there has been great and unnecessary loss, while the revenue obtained has been small. I would recommend that this may be altogether stopped in future. The revenue obtained from kath in Government villages during the last four years was as mentioned below:— - Rs. A. P. In 1893-94 --- --- ... 125 0 0 ,, 1894-95 --- • * * ... 303 0 0 ,, 1895-96 --- --- ... 106 0 0 ,, 1896-97 ... --- ... 265 0 0 - LAC. 256. A large trade in lac is carried on in the district by Messrs. Jardine, Skinner and Company, who have agencies at Shahpur, opposite Daltonganj, and Latehar. They buy raw lac at different markets and despatch it by carts and packbullocks to their factory at Imamganj, in Gaya district, where, I believe, stick lac is manufactured. 257. The most important lac marts in Palamau are Nawaghar in tappa Mankeri, Garhwa in tappa Sirhey, Cheinpur in tappa Taleya, Tarhassi in tappa Pundag, and Daltonganj in tappa Kote. ( 54 ) 258. Lac is obtained from (1) Kussum trees (Schleichera trifuga), (2) Palas trees (Butea frondosa), (3) Khair trees (Acacia catechu). Kussum lac is said to be the best, and keeps good for six years, while the lae of other trees, it is stated, lasts for two years only. - - 259. Kussum lac.—Lac seed is applied to kussum trees in the month of Magh (January-February). The mode of doing this is to cut off a branch of an old tree with the insects upon it, and to place this branch upon a branch of a fresh tree. The little insects soon spread themselves over the new branch and form lac. - 260. Kussum lac seed is sold by weight, and occasionally by bundle. The size of the bundle, which is made up of twigs with the insects on them, should be as much as may be tied in the centre with a cord, the length of which should not be more than the circumference round a man's head. The value of this is one rupee, and it suffices for four trees only. 261. Two men can apply seed to five trees each per diem. For this they are paid three seers of grain as banni and two annas a day. The trees have to be watched against marauders and agoria or rakhwars are therefore employed for this purpose for four months annually. They are paid at the rate of three seers of grain a day as banni and Rs. 2 a month as wages. 262. The principal crop of kussum lac is harvested in Katik (October- November) of each year. A crop called jeythua lac is also cut in Cheyt (March- April), but the quantity obtained is very small. The outturn of lac from a kussum tree of medium size is approximately thirty seers pucca weight. 263. The goodness of lac depends upon the brightness of the colour and the thickness of the incrustation; this in kussum lac is often nearly an inch thick, completely encircling the twig. 264. Palas lac.—Seed is purchased in bundles or boyhas. The cord to tie a bundle of seed should be the length of both arms held out together, or approximately five feet. The price of each bundle is one rupee. A bundle of seed suffices for five trees. 265. A man is able to supply seed to from ten to fifteen trees per day. He is paid for doing this at the same rate as for kussum trees. Agoria, or watchmen, are similarly paid. 266. The principal crop of palas lac is obtained in the month of Bysack (April–May). The twigs on which lac has formed are lopped off with a tangi (axe) and the lac is afterwards removed with a sickle. A part of the lac is left on trees and is ready by Katik (October-November), when it is cut as choochia lac and sold as seed. The lac that remains on trees increases, and in Katik yields the Bysack crop. From two to three seers (pucca weight) of lac are obtained from each tree of average size. 267. The approximate cost of production and the growers' profits in cultivating lac on palas trees are shown below:— Out-going. - In-coming. Rs. A. P. - Rs. A. P. Cost of brood lac for 100 Value of five maunds of lac alas trees --- ... 20 0 0 from 100 trees, at Rs. 12 Lº for applying lac to per maund ... 60 0 0 100 trees, ten men at six º annas each ... ... 3 12 0 Watching crop for four months, at Rs. 2 a month 8 0 0 Wages of twenty men, at two annas each for harvesting 2 8 0 Rent of 100 palas trees, at two annas each ... 12 8 0 Total ... 46 tº To Total ... g. To To Deduct out-goings --- ... 46 12 0 Net approximate profits ... ... 13 4 0 or a little over two annas per tree, which cannot be said to be much. The risk of growing lac is great. The seed often dies from excessive heat in Bhadon as - ( 55 ) also in Cheyt. Fog (kuhás) is hurtful to lac, and cloudy weather with lightning are injurious, and frequently destroys, most of the crop. 268. There are said to be two kinds of khair trees in the district, one being more astringent than the other. Lac is grown by Oraons and others in the southern tappas of Palamau on the less astringent tree. Kussum lac seed is applied to khair trees in the month of Assar (June-July), and the crop is harvested in the months of Asin and Kartik (October-November). The outturn of lac from a khair tree of medium size seldom exceeds half-a-seer (pucca weight). WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 269. Grain is bought and sold by weight. When an agriculturist speaks of a sér he always means the local weight of that name, which is just 45 tolas pucka or bazaar weight. The usual subdivisions of the sér are— The kanua or chatak, which equals the weight of 3 Gorakhpuri pice; adhpao or two kanuas, which equals the weight of 6 Gorakhpuri pice; pao or four kanuas, which equals the weight of 12 Gorakhpuri pice or chau takka; º adh ser or eight kanuas, which equals weight of 25 Gorakhpuri pice; sér or 16 kanuas, which equals weight of 50 Gorakhpuripice or 12# gandas. Six seers make one paseri, and 48 seers make one maund. 270. Large quantities of grain and other articles are measured by paseris. Straw is sold by the boja, which is as much as can be tied up with a pagha (cord) six cubits in length. In the harvesting of crops the measure is— 5 araps = one panja. 3 panjas = one boja or karai. If the outturn be full 2 bojas equal one maund. If it be short 4 bojas equal one maund. 271. In bazars the English yard of 36 inches is in use; but among the villagers the katchá guy still prevails. It consists of 16 girahs, each of 3 finger (angul) breadths. In other cases the standard of height and length are the háth of 8 girahs. The hāth is as long as from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, or about 18 inches. 272. Land is measured by the bans or bamboo pole, the length of which is 6 haths. The hāth in this case is as long as from the elbow to the tip of the thumb and fourfingers, taken each after the other and the forefinger a second time, or the háth may be the breadth of 5 muhtas or fists. Twenty poles in length and one in breadth make one cotta, and the square of 20 poles makes one local bigha. CHAPTER XV. WILLAGE CUSTOMS. 273. Village officials.-The village servants who are found almost every; where are (1) the lohar or blacksmith ; (2) barhi or carpenter; (3) napit or naoa ; (4) dhoby, and (5) kumhar. These are the panchpaoni, or people who must be paid. 274. The blacksmith's dues.—The lohar has to make and keep in repair all agricultural implements and domestic utensils made of iron. The iron needed is supplied by the person employing him. The lohar supplies the coal. He gets a share of the produce calculated on the working plough. He is never paid in cash. As an example of how he is paid, one village may be taken, in which his dues are—Manni of one maund (kachi) of grain annually per working plough. It is generally paid in two instalments, viz., half-a- mňaund in Aughan and half-a-maund in Gheyt. In Assar he gets 3 seers of grain as morghari or lagaoni per working plough. He also gets one panja {sheaf of paddy in Aughan and one of jau or gram in Chey?. In Assar at the beginning of the season he repairs ploughshare. For this he gets sidha of # seers of grain. - 275. The carpenter's dues.—The barhi is paid at the same rate as the blacksmith. His business is to make and repair agricultural and domestic implements and furniture made of wood, and to repair the sugarcane mill ( 56 ) when out of order. His employer supplies the material used. On the first day of ploughing in Assar he is supplied with sidha, which is called pat-thokai. For this he puts the ploughs, etc., in order. 276. The barber's dues.—The napit or barber is given three paseris, or eighteen seers of grain per head. For this he has to shave and crop a person at least three times a month. He gets a panja or sheaf of paddy in Aughan and . one of some rabi crop except wheat in Cheyt. When a son is born he gets four annas: on birth of a daughter he gets two annas. At death he is paid at the same rates. At marriages of Hindus he and the Brahman jointly get Rs. 4-8. Of this, one-third is taken by the napit and two-thirds by the Brahman. At Muhammadan marriages Re. 1-4 are paid to the person who reads the prayers and two annas a day to the napit. 277. The dhoby's dues.—The dhoby or washerman is paid four annas at the birth of a son and two annas at the birth of a daughter. At chhati he gets three and-a-half seers of sidha. For washing clothing he is paid in cash. 278. The potter's dues.—The kumhar or potter is of importance for all villages. He supplies the cooking pots and water-vessels in daily use. From Aughan to Cheyt he is paid in kind for the vessels supplied, the charge being as follows:– For a gharra ... One seer of grain. For a thila ... Half-a-seer of grain. For a kachri ... Ditto. For a karhai ... Ditto. For other small vessels he is paid in cash. From Bysack to Savan he is paid in cash for all articles supplied. 279. The clay which the kumhar requires is obtained without payment. He kneads it with his hands and feet for from two or three days before it is wanted. This operations is called sanna. As soon as sufficiently soft and pliant, the clay is made up into cone-shaped lumps and kept ready for use on the wheel called chák. The frame of this wheel is of bamboo, which is plastard with mud until it is about six inches thick. Beneath the wheel in the centre a circular flat stone is fixed ; the stone rests on a pivot called khunti. The chak is turned on the pivot with a stick called chakaith. While the wheel is revolving water is used for moistening the clay : the water is kept in a pathila. As soon as a vessel is finished, it is cut off from the clay with a cord called chánu. The larger vessels are moulded by hand. After being taken off the chak they are kept in shade for three days, after which they are hammered into shape with the aid of an earthen pirhur and a wooden pitna. The pirhur is held inside the vessel with the left hand, and the pot is gently beaten from outside with the pitna. 280. A few of the articles made by the kumhar and in daily use with the raiyat, as also the cost of each, are mentioned below:— Serial gº. number. NAMEs of ARTICLEs. EIow used. "..." | 1 2 3 4 1 Chari ...

Besides the panch-paoni above mentioned, the chamar should also be noticed. - 282. The Chamar.—He is also called Mahara and uses the title of Mahto. His wife is called Chamain and also Maharain. He has to supply the madha and joii. He is generally paid for this at eight Gorukhpuri pice per plough. In some villages he receives manni of 2; seers of grain per plough. He gets the skins of all dead cattle. He supplies shoes to the raiyat—a pair at each of the three seasons, viz., bhadoi, jarkali, and dhupkali—and is paid in cash for them at four annas per pair, together with sidha for the day. 288. The baiga or pahan.—He is the priest, and his presence is a necessity in every village. He is generally a Bhuian or Kherwar; but I have seen Brahmans as baiga. He is elected by the residents of the village. If able to keep them happy and contented, he is allowed to remain in his post without trouble. On the other hand, if there be frequent sickness in the village, if cattle die, or any other calamities follow, the baiga is blamed for being unable to propitiate the deity, and the village headmen jointly oust him and appoint another baiga in his place. But such measures are only adopted in extreme cases. I know of only one. In mauza Kasmar, tappa Pundag, a large num- ber of cattle had died from rinderpest. The raiyats, however, believed that the baiga was at fault, and nothing could persuade them to think differently. I was in camp in the village, and, at their request, called a meeting of the residents of the place. In my presence they informed the baiga that he had failed to do his duties properly, owing to which the deity was dissatisfied. He protested, and alleged that their offerings had been insufficient. He also threatened them with further trouble if they dispensed with his services; but without effect! They had determined to oust him, and begged me to appoint a suitable baiga for the village. With their assistance I then selected another baiga, and he was duly inducted on the spot. I afterwards learnt that the village was quiet, and that the people were contented and happy. - - 284. The baiga is required to make offerings three times during the year at the village gaonhel (sylvan shrine), viz., (1) the Sarhool puja in Jeyt (May- June), when fowls are killed. . On the completion of this kursi (dry cowdung) is burnt for marua sowing, and daha (fuel) is burnt on fields intended for cotton, (2) the Saoni puja in Savan (July-August), after which transplantation goes on, and (3) kharoj puja in Pous (December-January), when offerings of fowl and goat have to be made for propitiation of the deity. After this the raiyats may proceed to cut grass, collect fuel, and do other work connected with their homesteads: An account of the pujas done by the baiga when paddy is to be transplanted and harvested will be found in paragraphs 169—171 of this report. 285. Baiga's receipts.-He gets phakira in the shape of 3 to 6 seers of grain from each raiyat in Cheyā and Aughan. The offerings of fowls and kids made by him at the gaonhel are his perquisites. In marriage ceremonies the earth needed for the altar is dug by him; he gets a piece of cloth or two annas for this. After wheat is threshed he gets a part of what is offered to the deity, as mentioned in paragraph 214 of this report. When Ahirs or Goalas have a báthan in a village the baiga is required to do puja for the safety from sickness of the cattle that are kept there. He gets seráhi or a present of a seer of ghi for this. The dudh-dharma or offering-of-milk ceremony has to be performed annually by the baiga. He takes some milk in a leaf-cup, and pours it on the ground at the gaonhel and bathan three or four times. This is done to propitiate (1) Baram, the deity who is believed to look after the welfare of the village; 2) Dhart:- dihiwar, who guards the village lands, (3) Baghout, the deity of the jungles and wild animals, (4) Debi, the chief deity of the village, and (5) Raksel, Bisua, and Jamharia, minor deities. Ahirs are obliged to have a bóthani puja before they can shift a bóthan from one village to another. Offerings of a kid, goat, and pig have to be made to the above-mentioned deities. For doing this the baiga receives jaraor of ten annas in cash or four yards of cloth. 286. The deorai or dewar.—Some villages, especially those lying to the south of the district, have a deorai or dewar in addition to the baiga, While the latter propitiates good spirits at the gaonhel the former's duty is to be vigilant that darha and dakin, both of whom are said to be evil spirits, do not disturb the peace of the village. If they are angry crops are said to fail. Therefore they have to be frequently appeased with offerings of fowls, which are killed in some ". I quiet corner of the village and afterwards taken by the deorai. He is precluded from killing any animals or going to the gaonhel. - 287. The Purohit or family priest.—He receives agáván according to the outturn of the crops. Among Cheros the purohit visits the family on the 1st Bhadon, and ties a cord on the wrist of the right hand of the head male member as a charm against sickness and trouble. The string is called rakhi. 287a. I will close this chapter of my report by mentioning the Kamia. . This individual is to be found in every village, and is a mere serf. At time of squatting in the village the Kamia receives a loan of Rs. 10 from whoever may desire to keep him. He is also either provided with free quarters or allowed sufficient bamboo and straw to build a hut for himself and his family. He is obliged to remain in the village and to work for his master so long as the loan remains unpaid. His wife and children have to do the same. If he dies the debt becomes due from his widow. This is generally stipulated in the t bonds on stamp paper that are executed by Kamias. Such documents, however, - are never registered. Kamias plough and do all field work for their masters, and are paid in kind for this at the village rates for every day they may work. When they fail to turn out they receive nothing. When the police or §. - ment officials or jagirdars and others of the district are travelling, Kamias have to perform all begar work in the shape of carrying loads from camp to camp. For doing this they are paid at the rate of one Gorukhpuri pice per mile ! There are generally 112 of these pice to each rupee. It will thus be seen how low the rate is, Even then Kamias are frequently not paid at all. I would ask Government to cause fair rates of wage to be fixed for them and ameliorate their condition. At present they are having a hard time indeed, . They are in very poor circumstances, and generally live from hand to mouth, and when forced to travel long distances, often without sufficient food, and at the end of the journey are sent away without payment, their troubles can be more easily imagined than described. - 4}art ##.—fiscal jigforp. - - i - | CELAPTER XVI. BRIEF ACCOUNT OF PREVIOUS SETTLEMENTS AND THEIR EFFECTS. 288. From Volume XVI, page 454 of Hunter’s “Statistical Account of Bengal” it will be seen how Palamau became a British province about the year 1773A.D., and also that the first settlement here was made in that year by Mr. Camac for a period of five years, the settlement-holders being Gopal Rai, Gujraj Rai, and Sewgund Rai jointly. The revenue payable by them for the first year was fixed at Rs. 6,000; for the second year the amount payable was Rs. 8,000; and for the remaining three years the sum payable was Rs. 12,000 annually. The next settlement was made in the year 1786 A.D. by Mr. Mathew Leslie, Collector of Ramgarh, to which district Palamau had been attached after it came under Government rule. A sanad was granted - to Churaman Rai, a minor, who had then become Maharaja, and the sum of Rs. 15,000 was fixed as payable annually for a period of ten years. In the following year, however, viz., 1787A.D., Mr. Leslie allowed a reduction on account of markets and gunges, and fixed the revenue payable to Government at Rs. 12,181. During the period of Churaman Rai’s minority the estate was managed by a regent, who was (1) Churaman's mother, and after her (2) Thakurai Sew Persad, and things appear to have run pretty smoothly. On Churaman Rai coming of age, he soon proved himself a worthless ruler. He was unable to manage the estate, and in 1812A.D., owing to non-payment of the Government revenue amounting to Rs. 55,189, the pargana was put up to public auction and bought in by Government for the amount due. Palamau then became a Government estate. Four years after this, namely, in 1816A.D., as a reward for loyal services, Government bestowed the pargana upon Raja Fattey Narain Singh of Deo in Gaya district, and on his son, Ghanasam ( 59 ) Singh. In the following year the Raja's servants, who had been appointed to collect the revenue, oppressed the raiyats, and owing to gross mismanagement the people broke out into open rebellion. On hearing this, Government in 1818A.D. revoked the deed of grant, took back the pargana, and allowed the Raja a remission of Rs. 3,000 a year from the revenue of his Bihar estates by way of compensation. 289. The next settlement was made in 1839 by Mr. Davidson, the then Deputy Commissioner of Lohardaga, whose official designation with respect to Palamau was “Principal Assistant Agent to the Governor-General.” This settlement was for a period of 20 years, and the revenue assessed was Rs. 12,247-4. There were then only 177 villages as Government khalsa, and settlement of only these villages was made. The word khalsa is derived from khalis, meaning one's own or personal property. Mr. Davidson's settlement terminated in the year 1859 A.D. No records relating to it are forthcoming. After this Mr. Thomas Campbell made a summary settlement for three years, viz., from 1860 to 1862, and fixed the revenue pay- able to Government at Rs. 22,293-3-2 for 263 villages, which were then ſthalsa. On the expiration of Mr. Campbell's settlement the thikadars or farmers were allowed to hold by ekrarnamas, which were renewed annually, until 1864, when a fresh settlement was begun by Mr. Hewett, Deputy Commissioner of Lohardaga. He had, however, assessed only 19 villages of tappa Tappa to rent when he was obliged to return to Lohardagā on other duty. In April 1865 Mr. L. R. Forbes, Extra Assistant Commissioner of Palamau, continued the work and completed it in five years. The period of settlement was fixed for a term of 26 years, and the rent was assessed at Rs. 40,843. Of this amount, Rs. 4,413 were allowed to thikadars or farmers as commission, and the balance (Rs. 36,430) was the rent payable to Government. 290. Two systems were followed by Messrs. Hewett and Forbes in making their settlement, viz., (1) the paria or pariadari system, and (2) the uttakar system. The word paria means part of a village, and is an indefinite division of the kiari or rice lands thereof. The nature of the paria system is explained by Mr. Forbes in paragraphs 574 to 578 of his Settlement Report. In para- graphs 584 and 644 of the report he says that both Mr. Hewett and he allowed the raiyats of paria villages, upland or bhita, either equal to or double the area of their rice or dhankhet lands according to circumstances, the area of dhankhet being three pargana or local bighas; one bigha six cottahs and 18 dhoors being equal to an acre. In paria villages only rice land was measured, and only this land was entered in the firists or extracts from jamabandis which were given to the raiyats. Nothing was mentioned in these firists or indeed in any record appertaining to the settlement about the uplands, nor were the raiyats told what particular uplands they may or may not cultivate. The fact is that, while he gave pariadars rights over only such rice land as was found in their possession, he allowed them none whatever over uplands, but to persuade them to accept the settlement he left them to do as they pleased, and the thika- dars made their own arrangement with them subsequently with respect to these lands. 291. In paragraph 634 of his report Mr. Forbes writes thus:— “One of the greatest difficulties to be overcome was to get them to admit the necessity of relinquishing their custom of cultivating any quantity of the uplands without rent. This privilege they clung to with the utmost tenacity; but it was imperatively necessary for the success of the settlement that they should no longer hold it, and after great patience and hard work I carried my point.” But this was not correct, and was subsequently contradicted by Mr. Forbes in his letter No. 417 of 19th October 1872, and is also contrary to what was found in the settlement to which this report relates. 292. Under the uttakar system rent is paid for each bigha of land, whether it be dhankhet or bhita. 293. For purposes of assessment Mr. Hewett made three classes of parias . as follows:–A first-class paria Rs. 10, second-class paria Rs. 5, and a third- class paria Rs. 2. This was the rate throughout the villages of tappa Tappa, which was settled by him, although the conditions of one village differ in many respects from those of another. Following Mr. Hewett's system, Mr. Forbes divided the villages into three classes, and made his settlement at as I 2 ( 60 ) imany classes of rates. his final report, and are mentioned below:— Those are taken from page 78, paragraph 624 of PARIA RATEs.

Again, when the rates in this statement are compared with those shown in Mr. Forbes' settlement records, I find that the rates mentioned in columns 3, 4, 6, and 10 of the statement were not applied to any village for assessment purposes. rates were adopted to fix rents which the raiyats would not object to. It is clear that, having a variety of rates for his guidance, Mr. Forbes used his discretion in their application, If, by using a first-class rate to a first-class village, the revenue rose too high, second or even third-class Again, if by applying third-class rates to a third-class village, it was found that the Government revenue fell, second or even first class rates were used for the village, in order that Government may not lose revenue. This procedure was not objected to by the raiyats. In assessing the revenue, Mr. Forbes placed ( 61 ) º, most of the villages in the lowest class, and this also apparently to secure consent of the raiyats to the settlement. 296. With regard to his rates, Mr. Forbes observed in paragraphs 625 and 626 of his final report as follows:— “The above rates, I must observe, represent in almost every instance those actually existing immediately prior to settlement; the rates have not been increased in any way. There was no necessity for it, nor would it have been advisable to do so. The Government demand had of course to be increased, and has been; but this was effected merely by the adoption of a raiyatwari settlement, and by dealing directly with the raiyat. Any increase which had arisen in the value of land had already been taken advantage of by the farmer, who enjoyed the profit now appropriated by the State. “Many raiyats of course now pay a somewhat higher rent than they formerly did, but this was the natural result of measurement, and from it no dissatisfaction arose, as the culti- vators always had the option given them of relinquishing any portion of their excess upland, though no instance occurred in which this was done.” 297. As to the result of his assessment, Mr. Forbes remarked in paragraph 631 of his report as mentioned below:— “There can be no better proof of the lightness of the assessment than the admission of the fact by the cultivators themselves; in fact there is no doubt that somewhat higher rates could have been assessed without much fear of any evil consequence, as I find that testing the demand in upland, for instance, according to the average productiveness of the several staple grains of the rabi crop, the rates assessed represent less than one-sixth of the produce, and in case of some of the best lands a twelfth–a very light tax indeed, and one which the cultivators ought to be able to pay at all seasons.” 298. The settlement was made with the cultivators or raiyats, Govern- ment being the landlord or zamindar; but there was a thiccadar or farmer over them, and he was the collector of the Government rent. For his services in making the collection he was allowed a commission of from Rs. 10 to Rs. 15 per cent, according to the circumstances of the village, and in a few villages he was also granted certain manjhas or mahtwana lands within the village. He was precluded from acquiring any right of occupancy over such lands, although he paid rent for them in the same way and at the same rates as the raiyats do for other lands. He was entitled to hold the manjhas lands only so long as he may manage the village properly and treat the raiyats well. The area of manjhas land found by us, at time of attestation, in possession of thiccadars in 68 villages of 11, tappas was 311.91 acres. This land has now been assessed to rent and settled with them. The rent fixed is Rs. 616 only. 299. The thiccadar was the gaond or chief authority in the village, as many of them are still called, although the thiccadari system has been abolished. He was vested by both Messrs. Hewett and Forbes with authority to settle new raiyats in the village and to do everything in his power for its improvement. And it was “specially declared to him that he need not fear being dispossessed of his manjhas lands during the currency of the settlement except for misconduct, and that good management and a liberal outlay of capital, combined with a proper treatment of his raiyats, would give him a prior claim at any future settlement.” 300. Being thus empowered, he naturally took every advantage of his position for the purpose of increasing his profits, and he soon undid most of what Mr. Forbes declares in his report to have done. Mr. Forbes made his assessments at the rates mentioned in paragraph 624 of his Final Report. The thiccadar abolished those rates in the case of relinquished lands and new lands, and substituted higher ones for them. Villages that had been placed by Mr. Forbes in the lowest class were made first class, while villages that had been assessed at Rs. 12 and Rs. 15 per paria were raised to Rs. 16 and Rs. 20 per paria—rates which we found common even in southern tappas viz.: in tappa Tappa, where Mr. Hewett had made his settlement at Rs. 10, Rs. 5, and Rs. 2 per paria, and in Mankeri, where Mr. Forbes completed his assessment at Rs. 8, Rs. 4, and Rs. 2 per paria. In the same manner, the uttaker rates of Rs. 5 per bigha for the best class of rice land was increased to Rs. 7 and Rs. 8 per bigha in both the northern and southern tappas, while the highest rate of one rupee per bigha for first-class bhita land was enhanced by the thiccadar to as much as Rs. 2 and Rs. 4 per bigha in the northern tappas of Kote, Pundag, Imli, Sirhey and Goawal where sugarcane is grown and the best ( 62 ) wheat lands exist. When any pariadari raiyats of Mr. Forbes' settlement gave up their lands or moved on to fresh fields, as they are in the habit of doing in this district, these lands were promptly resettled by the thiccadar for his own advantage with new tenants at uttaker rates instead of pariadari rates. With the influx of new tenants who had to be allowed some rice land, however small the area thereof, the paria of three bighas of dhankhet land, as fixed by Messrs. Hewett and Forbes, speedily vanished. The thiccadar with the consent of the original holders reduced the area of their rice land to in many cases as little as ten cottas as we found at time of survey, and in lieu of the lands so reduced he gave them a few mahua trees, which they were glad to obtain, having received none at time of settlement from Mr. Forbes. When they desired to plough fresh lands they were allowed a free hand without any restriction whatsoever, and we found them in possession of bhita lands, the area of which in most cases was large. 301. In this manner villages that had been settled on the pariadari system had become uttaker villages either wholly or in part, and very few raiyats indeed were able to say what a paria meant or how much land it comprised. How great the changes made were will be seen from the following table:— WILLAGES IN which RAIYATS WERE FOUND PARIADARI will AGEs. To BE Holding AT | UTTAKER VILLAGEs. BOTH PARIA AND UTTAKER RATES.

The result of the action of the thiccadars was that during the term of Mr. Forbes' settlement they raised the rent fixed by him as cultivation advanced, and tenants increased from Rs. 40,842 to Rs. 57,693, which is the attested rent. 303. Working of Mr. Forbes' Settlement.—With the exception of the changes and alterations above mentioned, made by the thiccadars, no revisions or alterations in the demand fixed by Mr. Forbes were found necessary by order of Government during the term of his settlement. But when a thiccadar was deprived of a village either for mismanagement or otherwise, Government or rather the district authorities stepped in and either re-settled the village -* ( 63 ) with another thiccadar for the full amount realized by his predecessor from the raiyats, minus commission, or if the village was kept under khas management, as happened in several cases, the raiyats paid Government the full amount they had been giving the thiccadars. In this manner in many villages Government received during the term of the settlement not the rent fixed by Mr. Forbes, but what thiccadars had raised it to subsequently. CHAPTER XVII.

The thiccadari or farming system prevailed from 1882-83. On 1st April 1896 the thiccadari system was abolished, and the estate was brought under khas management. - 306. No information is available as to the extent to which raiyati rights have been affected by sale or other mode of transfer except mortgage, during the term of last settlement. Effort was made to obtain such information at time of attestation, and also from the office of the Sub-Registrar of Palamau, but there was none, as no deeds of transfers had been registered. For the same reason no information can, I regret to say, be supplied as to the average price per acre of land in Palamau. The estate belongs to Government, and there is no other proprietor. - 307.

The Palamau Government estate was cadastrally surveyed by Mr. Forbes in 1864 and a raiyatwari settlement concluded for 30 years, which expired on the 31st March 1894. In compliance with a requisition of the Board of Revenue, contained in their letter No. 331A of 20th August 1891, the Deputy Commissoner of Lohardaga submitted proposals for the re-settlement of the estate. Nothing, however, was done on this report because (1) it was considered to be not sufficiently exhaustive, and (2) as Palamau was about to be created a separate district, the Commissioner, Mr. Grimley, “thought it advisable that the proposals for resettlement should emanate from the newly- appointed Deputy Commissioner of Palamau after an opportunity had been given him for carefully considering the subject.” Proposals for resettlement of the estate were made by the Deputy Commissioner in his letter No. 77R of 29th April 1892, which was forwarded to the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal, with the Commissioner's letter No. 292R. of 17th May 1892. The Director submitted the matter to the Board with his letter No. 1420T.A., dated 23rd August 1892, Government order No. 728T.R., dated 6th October 1892, directed that the resettlement should be postponed in view of the large amount of survey and settlement work in progress at the time, and that the existing settlement should be allowed to continue from year to ear till a new settlement could be undertaken. After further consideration, owever, Government directed in order No. 1024, dated 1st March 1893, that the survey of the Palamau estate should be at once taken up. After this the following notification, No. 2725.L.R., dated 1st August 1893, was published in the Calcutta Gazette:— “Under section 3 of Act W. (B.C.) of 1875, the Lieutenant-Governor is pleased to order that a survey small be made of all lands comprised within the boundaries of the “Government Khalsa’ mauzas of the Palamau Government estate, in the district of Palamau, and that the boundaries of the estate, mauzas, tenures, and fields included within such be demarcated on the lands so to be surveyed.” 309. A few points were raised by the Commissioner and Deputy Commis- sioner regarding the survey and settlement of the estate. These were dealt with and submitted for the consideration and orders of Government by the Board in their letter No. 118A. of 30th January 1894, from which the following extract is given:— “Whether upland cultivation in the more jungly tappas is to be allowed free of rent, and whether the settlement is to be generally on what is known as the Uttakar system.—The Government estate of Palamau is composed of small villages which present an irregular and undulating surface. These villages are subdivided for convenience of administration into tappas, which are more or less jungly, and consist of high and low lands. It appears that at the last settlement the more advanced tappas (where cultivation was more permanent and the raiyats were of the more advanced castes) were settled under the ordinary uttakar system, that is, every bigha of land was assessed at a certain rate of rent. The more jungly tappas were, however, let out on the most liberal terms, the system adopted being what is known as pariadari. A pariadar or holder of a paria (share) was given a quantity of rice lands or low lands, measuring generally three pargana bighas, with an equal area of upland attached to it, but in some villages where there were no paddy lands, the paria was fixed on cultivated bheeta land, and in some uncultivated villages it was fixed even on mahua trees. According to the Deputy Commis- sioner (Mr. Bright), the pariadar paid only for the rice land and held the rest free of rent. Mr. Bright is of opinion that rents should generally be charged for all uplands at a rate per bigha (that is, under the uttakar system), but that the pariadari system may be resorted to in special cases in the settlement of the more jungly tappas, should the Settlement Officer consider it desirable. ( 65 ) * The Commissioner, who supports this recommendation, would leave it entirely to the discretion of the Settlement Officer to decide whether a particular village or plot of land should be settled under the one or the other system. He observes:— “I should like to see the pariadari system abandoned and made to yield to the ordinary system of measurement. It will be for the Settlement Officer to induce the villagers to accept the uttakar or bigha system. If they persist in having the pariadari system continued, the Settlement 9fficer must continue it, as it will not be advisable to disturb long-existing customs too suddenly. In those lands which border on Sirguja and the district of Lohardaga, where uplands are practically unassessed, it will be difficult to abandon the system, as the raiyats would probably abandon their holdings if any attempt were made to break it down.” “The Director of Land Records takes the view that under the paria system (at least in the more advanced tappas) rent was in fact charged at the last settle- ment on the uplands included in a paria, even where those lands did not exceed the rice lands, but that the rent for the uplands and rice lands was lumped together in a single rent imposed upon the whole holding or paria. . He con- siders that at the present settlement all lands should be classified and valued, even though it be thought best to continue or impose only a lump rent upon the whole holding. He observes that “in the more jungly tappas the rates for rice lands and uplands may, if necessary, be made lower than in the more advanced tappas.” The Board agree with the local officers in thinking that the uttakar system should be introduced wherever possible: they at the same time agree in the Director's recommendation that all cultivated lands should be classified and valued whatever system of settlement may be followed.” “In fixing the rates of uplands it should be borne in mind that the rent fixed at the last settlement was then intended to be the fair rent for the whole area in the tenants' possession, and must now also be regarded as fair for the whole area of the holding exeept in so far as an increase can be justified by rise of prices. If by the last settlement a tenant held, say three bighas of rice land with an additional three bighas of upland, at a rental of Rs. 3, and if an increase of 50 per cent, on the rental is justified by rise of prices, the new rent would be Rs. 4-8, which should be rateably distributed over the six bighas according to the relative values assigned to low lands and uplands.” 3. “Whether culturable upland is to be settled, or whether only cultivated land is to be dealt with.-At the last settlement the culturable uplands in pariadari villages, in excess of those included in the parias, were assessed at 2 annas a bigha. This method, Mr. Bright observes, greatly reduced the work of annual measurement, but also laid a heavy burden on the thiccadars in many cases where the land, though it might be culturable, was so little worth cultiva- tion that it would only be taken up when pressure of population drove the raiyats to plough the more barren lands. On the other hand, he adds, where the uplands were good in quantity and already cultivated, such a system gave an undue profit to the thiccadar. The extract below gives the Deputy Commis- sioner's and the Commissioner's views on this point in full” — “I (Mr. Bright) propose to do away with this system altogether. I propose to measure This proposal is good and superior in all the cultivated lands, whether uplands or low lands, and every º tº the arbitrary system follow to settle these cultivated lands with the cultivators found to tºº.” be cultivating. I propose to allow the thiccadar to make ands, and I approve of it. hi - - - - W. H. GRIMLEY. is own arrangements with the raiyats for land which is brought under cultivation during the term of his lease, subject to some provision that for the first few years only half rates are to be taken. If the proposals be adopted, there will of course be an But perhaps there will be no loss if the assessment on, cultivated uplands (the minimum rate) be fixed at something more than 2 annas a bigha. A Palamau bigha is #. to 24 Bengali or standard bighas. The 2 annas' rate gives even less than one anna perstandard bigha, a very low rate. W. H. GRIMLEy. But it can hardly be believed that what was culturable 28 years ago is still cultur- able. Much of this quantity has, no doubt, come under cultivation during the last 28 years. W. H. GRIMLEY. jº of revenue on these culturable, but not cultivated lands.” “It is impossible to say what proportion of these lands are now cultivated and what not, but the importance of a decision on the point will be at once seen when the total of this class of land is noted. I have had the Settlement Regis- ter carefully gone through, and I find that the area of this land is no less than 54,833 standard or about 24,400 local bighas. The rent derived from this is, therefore, about Rs. 3,000, and some though, perhaps, only a small part of this, will no doubt have to be relinquished. But I think it would be well worth the sacrifice.” “If it be considered necessary to continue the system, it will then be necessary to con- sider what increase in commission should be given to the thiccadars to induce them to take - - K ( 66 ) settlement. ...We shall undoubtedly in all but the more jungly villages, and I hope in those too, assess all the lands now under cultivation at a minimum of the rent now actually paid by the raiyats. The difference between those rates and the 2 annas' rate paid by the thiccadar, which alone has made it worth his while to take the 2 annas' settlement, will now be taken by Government. At the same time, it may be confidently presumed that most of the easily culturable land has already been taken up, and that the land now left is of inferior quality or in a disadvantageous position. To settle this land with the thiccadar at 2 annas a bigha would certainly mean that for some years to come from settlement the culturabi, º, he would have to pay this amount out of his own pocket. W. H. GRIMLEY. The ten per cent, commission in the jungly villages, where this 2 annas' rate would come to the largest sum, is a very small sum, and would not com- pensate the thiccadar for his loss. It will, therefore, be necessary to induce the thiccadar to take settlement to raise the commission.” “Another point of importance which turns on the decision of this question is this. If Mr. Forbes' system is to be continued, in common fairness it will be necessary to measure and separate the culturable lands. If my proposal be accepted, it will be only necessary to measure cultivated land, except in those villages in which the area of cultivated land is not sufficient to make up the paria, and where a certain amount of culturable lands, sufficient to make up the deficiency, will require to be measured.” “It will no doubt be objected that to give all uncultivated lands to the thiccadar free of rent will be a great inducement It will, I think, he best to leave out It will not be difficult to ascertain what lands were never cultivated at all, and what have been left uncultivated for a few years, Any lands which will be found to be actually cultivated will be settled. Unculti- wated lands will not be settled. W. H. GRIMLEY, These proposals are all good, and may be accepted, but in my opinion we are not bound to stereotype the thiccadari system in the new settle- ment. Where the present thiccadars have fulfilled their obligation and carried out improvements and proved themselves good landlords, it will be advisable to continue them on, but wherever it is possible to substitute the khas-tahsilsystem for the thiccadari arrangement, this should be done. I understand that the khas-tahsil system was tried and failed in Palamau. This was many years ago. Now that Palamau has been made into a district, there seems no reason why, with the increased supervision at to him to throw land out of culti- vation towards the close of this settlement in order to get them resettled with him for nothing. But with the present arrangement the thiccadars even now do this in hopes of getting land settled at 2 annas with them, and the differ- ence of 2 annas a bigha is not sufficiently great to increase the in- Daltonganj, the tahsil sytem should not succeed, at all events in that - - - - - - - - ducement to this kind of fraud to part of the district which is now head-quarters, any great extent. Moreover, such a practice should be easily discovered by the Settlement Officer, who could easily punish a thiccadar of this class by refusing him settlement.” W. H. GRIMLEY. “The Director of Land Records considers that while it is not desirable to repeat the course followed in the last settlement, under which the culturable land not included in holdings was settled with the thiccadar at two annas a bigha, it will often be necessary or desirable to leave some culturable land with the tenants. He suggests that a rule should be made that culturable lands, not exceeding in area 25 per cent. of the cultivated lands of a holding, may be settled with a tenant. The Board are, however, inclined to agree with the Commissioner. They consider that this is a matter for the discretion of the Settlement Officer, who should be guided by the merits of each case, and weigh for himself whether particular uplands should be retained for grazing purposes, whether the applicant for a lease of such lands has the ability to bring them under cultivation or not, etc. A separate report is promised by the Director on the rate to be imposed on culturable lands, on receipt of which the Board will again address Government on the point.” “Whether the Settlement Officer is merely to record existing rents, or whether he is to fir a fair rent of his own motion.—The Deputy Commissioner observes:— “There can be no doubt that the rates of rent in many of the Government villages are below those prevailing for similar lands in adjoining villages, and it is a fact that the thiccadars are in some cases taking higher rates for the uttakar holdings than those charged for the old firisti holdings, which must of course have been originally the best land. It seems to me, therefore, only fair that the Settlement Officer should be instructed to fix a fair rent on his own motion in all cases where the rates are clearly too low. In order to prevent undue increase, the rent resultant from this process should be fixed at a gradually increasing figure. I by no means wish to unduly increase the rent of the raiyats, but it is unfair to Government that rents should remain unduly low, simply because they were so fixed twenty years ago, in order to obtain agreement to the settlement. Raiyats of Government villages have a fixity of tenure unknown to raiyats holding under other landlords. Their thiccadars are liable to dismissal if they oppress them, and they are the only raiyats in the district who have obtained occupancy rights. With all these valuable privileges attached to their tenures it is merely unfair that in ( 67 ) addition they should not pay a fair rent. Subject to the provisions of Act VIII of 1879 and Act I of 1879, the Settlement Officer should, I think, settle fair rents at his discretion. I would make a special case of Daltonganj itself, where the rent of land for building sites is ridiculously low, and ought to be much increased, as land is greatly in demand. It will not, I think, be feasible to settle rates for the whole of each of the tappas, though in the cases of the smaller tappas it would be probably quite possible. I would have rates fixed for as wide an area as possible.” “The Board agree with the Director that the Settlement Officer should carry out the provisions of Act VIII (B.C.) of 1879 and the instructions given in rules 2i to 30 of the Rules under the Tenancy Act (pages 52 and 53 of the Settlement Manual, 1888) with regard to preparation of tables of rates, classification of lands and tenants, and enhancement.” 310. Government issued instructions on the Board's letter in order No. 840L.R., of 14th February 1894, paragraphs 1 to 7 of which are quoted below in extenso :— “I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of the Board's letter No. 118A., dated the 30th January 1894, regarding the survey and settlement of Palamau, and in reply to convey the following observations and orders of the Lieutenant-Governor on the several points raised. 2. (1) “Whether upland cultivation in the more jungly tappas is to be allowed free of rent, and whether the settlement is to be generally on what is known as the uttakar system.—The Board and the local officers agree that the uttakar system should be introduced wherever possible, and it is recommended that all cultivated lands should be classified and valued, and that the rental should be rateably distributed over the whole area of raiyat’s holding according to the relatives values assigned to low lands and uplands. The Lieutenant- Governor presumes that by the expressions ‘classified and valued’ and “relative value assigned’ the Director and the Board refer to the process by which the Settlement Officer is to calculate the total rate for each holding. It is understood that it is not intended that the classification and valuation should be published, so that a raiyat should be able to throw up a part of his holding and claim a reduction in the lump rent at which such holding has been assessed according to the Settlement Officer's valuation.” Subject to this explanation, His Honour agrees to the Board's recommendation that the uttakar system should be adopted where possible. (2) “Whether culturable upland is to be settled, or whether only cultivated land is to be dealt with.”—The Lieutenant-Governor does not clearly follow the Board's meaning, but as at present advised, is of opinion that where a raiyat has hitherto held culturable waste in his patta, he should continue to do so, or even if he has not hitherto held culturable waste he should be allowed to do so if no objections exist on his paying reasonable addition to the rent payable by him for cultivated lands. Any waste lands not so taken up should be left to the thiccadar, if there is a thiccadar, on payment of a reasonable sum which may either be a low rate per bigha or a lump sum for “bunker.” - 4. “(3) Whether the Settlement Officer is merely to recordealisting rents or whether he is to fia: a fair rent of his own motion.”—The Lieutenant-Governor agrees with the Board in thinking that the Settlement Officer should carry out the provisions of Act VII (B.C.) of 1879, and instructions given in Rules 21 to 30 of the rules under the Tenancy Act with regard to the preparation of tables of rates, classification of lands and tenants, and enhancement. 5. “(4) Whether the estate should be held khas or settled with thiccadars.”—The Lieutenant-Governor will await the further report promised by the Board; but if there is to be no thiccadar, His Honour would desire to be informed who is to be in charge of the waste not taken up by raiyats and who is to pay rents for such lands and settle cultivators on it. 6. (5) His Honour agrees with the Board, in thinking that occupancy rights should be allowed and recorded in the case of all raiyats paying direct to Government or to the farmer. 7. (6) If gharbari means homestead lands, the Lieutenant-Governor accepts the Board's recommendation that they should be surveyed plot by plot. 311. Appointment of a Settlement Officer. —As regards the appointment of a Settlement Officer, the Deputy Commissioner wrote as follows-“Consider- ing the difficult character of the questions which will have to be determined, I hope that a specially good officer may be appointed. If it be possible, I would recommend that a European officer be sent, as it is a well-known fact that the aboriginal tribes work better with a European. I wish to express my opinion that the settlement to be now undertaken will be a difficult one, and that a good deal of opposition will have to be faced.” L K - ( 68 ) 312. Haviug completed the settlement of the Western Duars, Jalpaiguri, I was selected for the post of Settlement Officer, Palamau, by Sir Charles Elliott, and was gazetted accordingly. 313. I took charge of the settlement on 17th November 1894, and carried it through successfully as, I hope, the pages of this report shew. My work closed at Palamau on 24th October 1897. CHAPTER XIX. SURVEY. - 314. Survey operations in Palamau were under the charge of Mr. F. Berkeley, Extra Assistant Superintendent of Surveys, who was assisted during the first year by Mr. P. Waughan, Extra Assistant Superintendent of Surveys. Mr. Berkeley was deputed at the close of the season of 1892-93 to recess at Palamau for the purpose of getting a small area of traversing done, to enable him to commence the cadastral survey as soon as the field season opened, and also that he might supervise the training of local surveyors. His work in the district was completed by 12th June 1896, when his office closed and he left. 315. If further information be wanted, the reader will find it in the published Annual Reports on the Survey operations in Bengal for the years 1892-93 to 1895-96, inclusive. CHAPTER XX. RECORD-WRITING. 316. Khanapuri or record-writing was done in the Survey office under the supervision of the Survey Officer, and in the Settlement office under the supervision of my Assistant, Babu Ramesar Persad, and myself. At the beginning of the operations Babu Ramesar Persad, who had been in the district as a kanungo for about 14 years, was appointed in Government Notification No. 1396.L.R., of 10th March 1894, to be an Assistant Superin- tendent for the purpose of carrying out the survey of Palamau Government estate, and he assisted the Survey Officer until attestation work commenced. A set of instructions to suit the requirements of the district for record-writing were drawn up and approved by the Board of Revenue, and were generally followed in writing up the (1) khasra, (2) khatian, and (3) parcha. Instruc- tions were also given therein as to (1) how work was to be commenced by the amin and as to mumbering of fields; (2) how disputed and undisputed entries were to be made; (3) how intermixed mauzas were to be treated; (4) how lists of tenants were to be obtained from thiccadars; (5) how attendance of parties was to be secured; (6) as to the daily comparison of khasras and khatians, and other matters for the correct preparation of records. 317. The records which the Survey Department prepared and furnished Were- 1. Map. 4. Khewat. 2. Khasra. 5. Agricultural statistics. 3. Khatian. 318. The records which the Settlement office prepared were— 1. Milan khasra. 3. Jamabandi. 2. Terij. | 319. A map of each village separately was prepared, and has been drawn to the scale of 16 inches to the mile. - 320, The form of khasra used was the one approved by the Board in letter No.1097A, of 21st August 1893. It contains the following headings, which were filled up by the survey amins:— - 1. Field: (1) number, (2) boundaries, 2. Name of estate. 3. Name of proprietor. 4. Name of tenure-holder. - \ - - ( 69 ) - Name of raiyat, father's name, caste and residence. Name of under-raiyat, father's name, caste and residence. Area in acres. Area in bighas. Method of irrigation. Cropped area: (a) Bhadoi—(1) crop, (2) area in acres and decimals; (b) Aghani —(1) crop, (2) area in acres and decimals; (d) Rabi-(1) crop, (2) area in acres and decimals; (e) Dofasli—area in acres and decimals. 11. Uncropped land: (a) class of land, (b) area. 12. Rate of rent of tenant. 13. Class of soil. 14. Remarks. i 821. The form of khatian used was the same as that adopted for Bihar survey and contains the following headings:— (1) Serial number. A (2) Name, parentage, caste and residence of tenant. (3) Khasra number of fields and boundaries: (a) number, (b) boundaries. (4) Area included in the holding in acres: (1) cultivated (2) uncultivated, and (3) total. - (5) Present rent: (a) according to landlord, (b) according to tenant. (6) Present rent: (a) as ascertained by Revenue Officer. (7) Fair rent settled by Revenue Officer. (8) Particulars of tenancy—(1) status and length of possession in case of non-occu- pancy tenants, (2) whether rent fixed by contract, order of Court, or other- wise, (3) if the rent is progressive, and (4) special conditions and incidents. (9) Disputed entries. - (10) Remarks. 322. The khewat, fard hawala, milan khasra and terij forms were the same as those adopted in Bihar survey. The jamabandi form, however, was a special one and contains the following headings:— (1) Number of tenancy. - (2) Name, parentage, caste and residence of tenant. - (3) Khasra number of plots. º, (4) Land as ascertained in the present survey: (a) description of land, (b) area of \ - each plot or of a group of plots of the same description in acres and decimals, (5) Total area of tenancy. -- (6) Former rent. (7) Rent resultant from application of rates, (8) New rent settled. (9) Clause or clauses of section 6 of Act VIII (B.C.) of 1879 under which rent has been enhanced, and - (10) Remarks. 323. The records supplied by the Survey Department were received on the dates mentioned hereunder— Number of villages. December 1894 --- --- --- 20 January 1895 --- --- --- 27 February -> --- --- --- 123 March >> --- --- --- 83 April 22 --- --- --- 48 May » --- "... --- 64 June » --- --- --- 17 - July 2: --- --- --- 16 August 22 --- --- --- 1 September , *** - - - - --- 1 Total --- 400 324. Of these one village, viz., Chak Chappardagga, was’excluded from settlement under orders of the Divisional Commissioner. The remaining 399 records were dealt with by me. - - ( 70 ) CHAPTER XXI. TEIE SETTLEMENT RECORD. 325. The settlement record consists of the following papers in the order given— (1) The fly-leaf or table of contents; (2) trace; (3) khasra, with milan khasra and crop statement; (4) fard hawala; (5) khatian, with ghoshwara; (6) terij; (7) jamabandi; (8) khewat; (9) notice of attestation ; (10) report of the attestation muharrir ; (11) order sheet; (12) fard tanaza (dispute list); (13) fard rad-badal (correc- tions made later on); (14) list of raiyats absent at time of attestation; (15) papers filed by survey amins and inspectors; and (16) other papers, i.e., notice of publication of the jamabandi. 326. The records have been bound up separately, village by village, and are comprised in 399 volumes which have been deposited in the record-room of the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Palamau. CHAPTER XXII. ATTESTATION. 327. Attestation and khanapuri or record-writing work proceeded simultaneously. Attestation work was commenced on 6th August 1894 by Babu Ramesar Persad, Kanungo, under the supervision of Mr. W. R. Bright, Deputy Commissioner. I took charge of the settlement on 17th November 1894, and from then up to end of September 1895; when the last batch of records was received from the Survey Departmemt work was pushed on with : all possible speed. As both my Assistant, Babu Ramesar Persad, and I were employed on attestation work, we were frequently ahead of the Survey Officer, and much valuable time was lost owing to his inability, from want of a competent and sufficient establishment, to supply us with records fast enough. He was often hard pressed, and was therefore obliged to send us records before they could be properly compared and examined in his office. Errors and discrepancies wherever found were corrected, and the records put in order in my office. 328. There were 71 camps in all, as shown below, and attestation was done as far as possible within a three-mile radius of the villages concerned and ºly in the villages themselves. The camps were at the following places:- (1) Tappa. Kote —(a) Dhangardih, (5), Kumand, (c) Dabra, (d) Lesligunge, (e), Goradih Khas, (f) Chaukra, (g) Phulang, (h) Daltongunge–8 camps. (2) Tappa Taleya-(a) Bamandih, () Shahpur, (c) Taleya, (d) Chein- pur—4 camps, - (3) Tappa Goawal.--(a) Tildag, (b) Soh, (c) Garhwa, (d) Pertabpur, (e) Pataria, and (f) Chapardagga-6 camps. (4) Tappa Sirhey.—(a) Chirounjia—i camp (5) Tº: Imli.-(a) Kankey Kalan, (b) Bhusra and (c) Aredana— camps. (6) Tappa Pundag—(a) Suggi, (b) Manatoo, (c) Dhumkhar, {} Bunsi Khurd, (e) Kasmar, (ſ) Loharsi, (g) Göindi, h) Mukta, (3) Kerki, (j) Khamdih, (4) Erua () Asehar, (m) Gogda—13 camps. (7) Tappa Bari–(a) Jhabar; (b) Bari Khas, (c) Dhawadih, (d) Hurmur, (e) Pipra Kalan, (f) Nºmudag, (g), Kutmoo, (h) Sinjo, (i) Kui, (j) Ker, (k) Pokhri Kalan, (i) Bakhoria, (n), Aurwatañr, (n) - - Jamuna, (o) Dumri, (p) Patuki, (a) Nawadih, (r) Kumandi, (3) * Deobar, (t) Ledhpa, and (u) Kalianpur–21 camps. - ( 71 ) (8) Tappa Tappa-(a) Persahi, (6) Pandehpura, and (d) Latiahar– 3 camps. . . - (9) Tappa Munkeri--(a) Mungar, (b) Nindir, and (c) Nawaghur– 3 camps. - (10) Tappa Seema-(a) Surjoo, (b) Gotag, (c). Kotam, (d) Rood, (e) Nethurhat, (f) Chorha, (g) Makundpur, (h) Goindi, (i) Garoo, 9 camps. 329. Cousiderable trouble was felt in ascertaining true rents paid to thiccadars. In some villages raiyats in collusion with thiccadars suppressed the amounts actually paid by them. The attested rent, as recorded by us, is, however, not far from what the raiyats had been paying. 330. In accordance with rule 67 of the instructions for record-writing, every raiyat was supplied with a parcha by the Survey Department. At time of survey, while attestation was proceeding, these parchas were produced, and the boundaries and areas of the fields in each man’s holding and other particulars, as shown in khatians, were º explained to him by the muhar- rirs, first in bighas, cottahs and dhurs, and afterwards in acres and decimals. Disputed entries were written in red ink in all the records. . Wherever these were found enquiry was made by either Babu Ramesar Persad or myself on the ground. All disputes were settled to the satisfaction of the parties concerned and there was no friction or trouble of any kind at any time from them. And the raiyats were so convinced that justice was done in every case that there was not a single objection or appeal to higher authority. When a raiyat was Satisfied as to correctness of the entries relating to his lands, he attested the khatians by signing his name or making his thumb print thereon. CELAPTER XXIII. SECTION I.-CLASSIFICATION of LAND. 331. In paragraphs 23 to 24 of this report I have mentioned the soils of the villages in Palamau as understood by the raiyats. As in last settlement, so now the lands under cultivation contained in the villages have been classified as follows:– 1. Dhankhet or rice land: first class, second class, third class. 2. Bhita or upland : first class, second class, third class. 3. Homestead. 332. First-class dhankhet is the lowest land where most water remains. It is consequently the best for growing rice on. Second-class dhankhet is land slightly higher than this, and third-class dhankhet is higher than second- class land. In tappas Pundag, Bari and Kote sugarcane is generally grown on third-class rice lands. 333. First-class bhita are the uplands on which bhadoi paddy, wheat, barley, maize and sugarcane are grown; second class bhita are lands which yield marua, linseed and gram ; third-class bhita are lands which generally produce til (ginjelly), cotton, and pulses of sorts. 334. Doob is the land lying within the basin of embankments or bunds, and produces good crops of wheat. In the northern tappas of Kote and Pun- dag, doob lands are generally cultivated with onions and vegetables by Koiries and Kunjras the market gardeners of Palamau. Doob lands are generally held jointly by several raiyats who have occupancy settled rights in them. When sublet these lands fetch as much as Rs. 8 to Rs. 12 per bigha. I have included doob in first-class bhita land and have assessed it accordingly. 335. Tanr means waste uplands, which are cultivated once in three or four years. It is included in third-class bhita lands. 336. During the course of the settlement the Board of Revenue desired to know whether the classification of lands into first, second and third-class dhan- khet and bhita, respectively, is understood by the raiyats or not. I replied that the more intelligent raiyats, namely, Brahmans, Rajputs, Ahirs, Muhamma dans, Cheros, Koiris, and Kayasths, appeared to understand the classification, ( 72 ) Some of them challenged it when they thought a field was not what the khasra showed it to be ; but the bulk of the tenants are unable to distinguish first- class bhita from second or third-class dhamkhet because here, as in other F. of Bengal, the difference is very fine. They talk of their inferior rice lands as “unchat,” “uperwar,” and “chaur. * or “ chaura,” and of their high lands, made up with ayles for growing paddy on, as “ariawat.” “Aj,” “gahir’ or “gahera” are the expressions used for the best low lands on which winter paddy is grown. Had I been permitted to fix the classification of soils in Palamau, I should have preferred to have had only four classes, namely, dhankhet, “gahira,” dhankhet “unchat,” bhita, and fanr. Orders on this matter had, however, been passed before I was placed in charge of the settle- ment. Nine out of ten people in India would not be able to classify land into first, second and third-classes, as was done here by the survey amins, especially as, in consequence of the undulating nature of the country, the fields in most of the villages are in terraces or steps, the number of which varies from three to twelve. To be able to do so with anything approaching accuracy requires long residence here, constant practice and experience, frequent inspections of the lands at all seasons of the year to know how they are affected during the rains as well as in dry weather, and a thorough knowledge of the soils. None of the surveyors possessed these qualifications. They came from the North- West Provinces and Bihar districts, where the soils and system of cultivation and physical features are totally different from here. Hence, I should be sorry to say that the classification of soil as made by them is accurate. The raiyats themselves are unable to classify their lands, as the amins have done, without considerable hesitation and difficulty. I therefore think we should not have attempted to do here what the raiyats themselves hesitate in doing. It would have been best in my opinion to have assessed the revenue according to the soil of each field or according to the classification which the majority of the tenants understand as explained above. SECTION II.-CLASSIFICATION OF WILLAGES. 337. The imperfect classification of soil as made by the survey amins caused me anxiety from the beginning. Errors wherever pointed out or found to exist were of course corrected; but the fact remains that we did what the raiyats themselves abstain from doing. The only remedy for this was (1) to arrange the villages in as large a number of classes as possible instead of following Mr. Forbes' plan of having only three classes for assessment purposes, and (2) to adhere to the rates of last settlement which are mentioned in Table IV of Mr. Forbes' final report. Having decided upon this, I set to classifying the villages and making them as it were the basis of assessment. It was res- ponsible and anxious work. The curious, almost inexplicable, differences in the fertility of adjoining villages of apparently the same soil and of the same ad- vantages as regards irrigation, configuration, &c., were such that at first I never knew until I had announced the new assessments to the raiyats whether I was right or wrong. I had several guides in the assessment of the villages, the first of these being the frequent inspection of them. I went over them each after the other as carefully as possible, examining their condition as to (1) soil and crops, and (2) number of tenants in them. I sought the opinion of jagirdars and respectable men of contiguous villages, and from them obtained much help in regard to the comparative value of villages. Then, again, the opinion of my Assistant, Babu Rameswar Persad, who had been in the district for upwards of fourteen years, during which period he had frequently inspected the villages in his capacity as kanungo, was of the greatest help to me. The several thiccadars and their agents gave me valuable information, and I could see from the appearance of the tenants, the cultivation, and the surrounding circumstances whether the village was a flourishing one or not. The length of residence of the raiyats of the villages was carefully enquired into by me. If many of them had fled or relinquished their holdings settled by Messrs. Hewett and Forbes, the cause or causes was ascertained. The number of ahars or re- servoirs in the villages and other facts as to irrigation were ascertained, and this was one of the most useful guides in their valuation. Well-irrigated villages always yield good crops, and cantherefore easily bear higher rates for assessment of rent than less favoured ones. In the northern tappas villages lying in the º ( 73 ) vicinity of hills are frequently better than those lower down because of the large amount of water that flows into them, while in the southern tappas villages away from the hills are superior to the upper ones, the soil of which being faulty, water percolates through the beds of reservoirs and passes into the villages lower down. The configuration of the country is of importance in the valuation of land, and it possesses a special importance in a hilly district like Palamau. Again, in the southern tappas villages in the vicinity of hills and large streams curiously suffer more from hoar-frost during the winter than other villages farther away, and crops are injured. Loss of crops also often occurs in villages that are contiguous to reserved forests, where pig, bears and deer abound. These are some of the principal instances that account for differences existing between neighbouring villages, and I mention them only to show that frequent inspection and local knowledge was necessary, and that the classification was made after the fullest enquiries on the ground. Then, again, besides re- arrangement of villages, I applied another remedy for correction of inaccurate classification of soil. A considerable area of land which the amins had entered as 3rd class dhankhet was transferred by me to 1st class bhita. My reason for doing so is explained in paragraph 73 of this report. The tenants benefited by my action. 338. In paragraph 293 I have mentioned that Mr. Forbes assessed the villages according to three classes, viz., first class, second class, and third class. My division of them is shown below:— Northern tappas. Southern tappas. Kote ... Six classes. Tappa ... Three classes. Imli ... Five classes. Mankeri ... Three classes. Pundag ... Twelve classes. Seema ... Two classes. Bari ... Eleven classes. Bareysand ... Two classes. Goawal ... Six classes. Khami ... One class. Sirhey ... Two classes. Durjag ... One class. Taleya ... Five classes. Berkol ... One class. Japla ... One class. Duthu ... One class. Amhar ... One class, Chechari ... One class. -- CHAPTER XXIV. FIXATION OF RATES. 339. There is little to say on this subject. After careful inspection of the villages I had to deal with, their surrounding circumstances, extension of cul- tivation and other matters relating to them, I found that a large accession of revenue would accrue to Government without changing the rates of last settle- ment. I accordingly asked for permission to complete my settlement at those rates. My recommendations were not accepted by the Deputy Commissioner (Mr. Streatfeild), who had thought that higher rates could with safety be applied, but the Divisional Commissioner (Mr. Grimley) supported me, and my proposals were submitted to the Board of Revenue. After this by request of the Board I visited Calcutta, and explained that my proposed rates were practically the same as those of last settlement. I also assured the Board that the raiyats were willing to accept them, that if permitted to do so I could complete the settle- ment at those rates without friction or difficulty, and that I had no doubt the new rentals at those rates would be realized with facility. Accepting this assurance, the Board authorised me to proceed with the settlement in anticipation of the sanction of Government. In reporting this to Government they wrote as follows:– “The Board have much confidence in Mr. Sunder's tact and judgment,” and that “he concluded successully a difficult settlement in Jalpaiguri.” 340. After this His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor in Mr. Secretary Bolton's letter No. 77T.R., Land Revenue, dated 29th April 1896, sanctioned the rates recommended by me, and I carried the settlement through without trouble or friction of any kind with the raiyats. L (; 74 ) 341. It will be found in some villages, especially in tappas Pundag and Bari, as also in the southern tappas, that the rates of my settlement are somewhat lower than those at which Mr. Forbes assessed them at last settlement. I found it desirable to do this in consequence of the wider and, I believe, better classifi- cation of villages adopted by me, and also because, in my opinion, the villages in which such lower rates have been used could not have borne those applied to them at last settlement without injuriously affecting the tenants and retarding cultivation. The Board of Revenue, in paragraph 13 of their letter No. 235A. of 18th March 1896, permitted me to apply lower rates where I found it to necessary. On the whole, however, Mr. Forbes' rates have been generally adhered to in making the new assessment; and considering that he declares in paragraph 625 of his report that his rates “represent in almost every instance those actually eristing immediately prior to settlement,” and that he did not increase them in any way, it is manifest that what was considered to be fair 30 years ago, when the estate was in a backward condition, is fair now when land has been cleared of jungle, cultivation has extended, roads and markets have increased, and better prices are obtained for crops. . . . 342. It will be seen from paragraph 357 of this report how great the increase of cultivation has been; paragraph 61 shows the increased number of markets, and the table in paragraph 242 discloses that the prices of rice and maize alone have risen by 76 and 79 per cent. respectively. 343. For the information of the reader I would beg to mention that Mr. Forbes’ rates, as contained in Table IV of his Final Report, are for each bigha, whereas my rates, as shown in the tables of Appendix I to XVIII of this report, are for each acre of land. An acre is equal to one bigha six cattas and 15 dhurs. 344. The rates at which assessment of the new rent was made in each village will be found in Appendices I to XVIII of this report. Information as to the lands brought under assessment, number of tenants, and other particulars is also given in those appendices. I trust that each of them will be perused, and that the recommendations made therein may be approved and sanctioned by Government. CHAPTER XXV. PUBLICATION OF RECORDS. 345. Act VIII (B.C.) of 1879, section 9, under which the settlement operations to which this report relates was conducted, requires that a copy of the jamabandi, or extracts therefrom should be published at the mal-cutcherry of the village to which the jamabandi relates. The rates for this settlement having been sanctioned by the Board of Revenue in letter No. 235A of 18th March 1896, the Board in the same letter authorised me to proceed with the settlement in anticipation of the sanction of Government. Accord- ingly I completed my assessments of the future rent, and by the end of April 1896 had announced them to the raiyats. Each raiyat separately was told the amount of rent payable by him on the new basis, and the area of his lands was also explained to him by me at the same time. The rents were generally accepted. There were a few objections; but these were chiefly against the classification of soil as made by the survey amins. After this, when the extracts from the jamabandis were about to be published as required by the law, the Divisional Commissioner ordered that, as the rates for settlement of palas and kussum lac-bearing trees had not been sanctioned, the jamabandis should not be published until orders of Government were received. These orders reached me on 11th August 1896, when I at once commenced issuing ferists. Ferists were granted to the raiyats by Mr. Forbes at last settlement, and are looked upon by them as an authority from Government to hold and cultivate their lands. It is a statement showing details of the lands in each holding, together with the rent payable therefor during the term of the settlement. Without ferists the raiyats would have declined to pay the rent on the new basis, the first kist of which became due on 28th October 1896.

A form of patta is, I believe, under consideration of the Board of Revenue, and I learn that it will be issued by a special establishment as soon as approved. As in last settlement so now the ferist has been accepted as a lease. The raiyats are satisfied. Is it wise to disturb them again now? 347. It will be seen that the ferists issued to the raiyats not only contain the contents of each khatian, but of the jamabandi also. I have already stated that in April 1896, when I announced the new rentals to the raiyats, each of them was separately told the amount of rent payable on the new basis and the area of the lands comprised in the holding. Again, in August 1896, when the raiyats appeared a second time, and before the issue of any ferists to them, I again per- sonally explained to each raiyat all its contents, i.e., all particulars relating to his holding. The area of his lands was first explained in bighas cottahs and dhurs, and then in acres and decimals. The number of palas and kussum lac- bearing trees within his holding and the rates at which these trees, as also excess mahua trees, have been assessed, were also explained to the tenants. Those of them who had lac-bearing trees were informed that the settlement for these trees is for one year only, and that the trees may be re-settled with them or not in the following year, as Government may determine. This was done under the special orders of Government as contained in Revenue Department letter No. 3292, dated 17th August 1896. After everything had been fully explained, and if there was no objection, the tenant signed his name or affixed his thumb print in the jamabandi against his name in token of his acceptance of the settlement, and after this the ferist was made over to him. Between 11th August, when I commenced the issue of ferists, up to end of September 1896, 11,206 ferists out of the total number of 11,696 had been issued. 348. And here I desire to state that, while the above-mentioned work was proceeding, Mr. J. D. Cargill, Deputy Commissioner, visited my office on many occasions, and not only watched how the work was done, but also often questioned the raiyats himself in respect to matters connected with their lands and the mew assessments. Mr. Cargill took a great interest in all that was done in regard to the settlement, and I am indebted to him for the support he gave me during his stay at Palamau. |-- --- L 2 ( 76 ) 349. The form of jamabandi, used for this settlement, was sanctioned by Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal, in letter No. 1152S., dated 15th April 1895.

PERIOD OF SETTLEMENT. 351. The settlement has been made for the term of fifteen years. The orders of Government on this subject as contained in Revenue Department letter No. 3292, of 17th August 1896, are as follows:— “As it is in contemplation to extend to Chota Nagpur the Bengal Tenancy Act, under which the statutory term for settlements is 15 years, and also as the Palamau estate is to be held khas, the Lieutenant-Governor has decided that the term of the settlement in that estate shall be for 15 years. If at the end of that time it is thought by the authorities of the day desirable to extend the period, they can do so.” ( 77 ) CHAPTER XXVII. CASE WORK. 352. The following statement shows the case work done by me from the beginning up to the close of settlement operations in Palamau:— Boundary disputes taken up under the Bengal Survey Act.

In the settlement of the boundary disputes the Revenue survey of 1864-65 was adhered to, in accordance with Government order No. 3916 (Land Revenue) of 14th August 1895. 354. Of the mutation cases, 57 related to people who had bought houses or house sites in Daltonganj, and consequently effected alteration of names; the remainder were cases in which people had succeeded by inheritance. 855. Seventy copies of village maps and 80 copies of khatians, etc., were supplied to tenants who paid Rs. 365-4-6 for this in cash, including the price of tracing cloth and forms. The money was paid into the Palamau Treasury to the credit of this settlement. 4]art H.J.-Comparison of the Combition of the Tract as tegarbs #entals befort amb after Šurbºp. CHAPTER XXVIII. SECTION I.-FORMER AND PRESENT RECORDED RENTALS. 356. The rent of the Palamau estate was fixed by Messrs. Hewett and Forbes at last settlement at Rs. 40,843. In paragraphs 300 to 303 of this report I have stated how this amount was increased by thiccadars during the term of the settlement to Rs. 57,693, which is the attested rent. The increase in attested rent on former rent is 41 per cent. The rent as now fixed by me for a period of 15 years is Rs. 74,433. The increase in this amount on rent of last settlement is 82 per cent. and on the attested rent 29 per cent. Against this I should mention that the increase in cultivation since last settlement is 221 per cent. In Dhankhet the increase is 32 per cent, and in Bhita 501 per cent. The figures are supplied in paragraphs 73 and 357. The increase in the number of tenants since last settlement is 137 per cent. 357. In the following statement I have attention to the figures given in columns 3 to 10 and 15 of the statement. supplied full details as to how the sum of Rs. 74,433 is made up tappa by tappa.

It will be seen from the figures contained in the foregoing statement that the increase in rent by present settlement is simply due to extended cultivation, which may be ascribed to the large addition that has taken place (1) in the number of tenants, and (2) in the number of reservoirs in the estate since last settlement, as mentioned in paragraph 39 of this report. The opening out of the estate by new roads, the establishment of new markets, the facility with which crops can now be disposed of at higher rates than before, and the clearance of jungle and consequent less unhealthiness of the district now than formerly are causes which have attracted new tenants to the estate, and thereby extension of cultivation and consequent increase in rents. There has also been a great rise in prices since last settlement, as will be seen from the table in paragraph 242 of this report. These facts fully support the increase of aSSeſ S. CHAPTER XXIX. ANNUAL DEMAND AND THE KISTS OF REVENUE. 359. The following statement shows the demand on account of (1) land rent, (2) rent of mahua trees, and (3) rent of lac-bearing trees for each tappa separately. It also shows the three kists or instalments of rent. The first 4-anna kist is due on 28th October; the next, or 8-anna kist, is due on 28th January, and the last kist of 4 annas is due on 28th March of each year:— º NUMBER of LAC-BEARING TREES - MAHUA TREES ASSESSED To - - IKISTS OF RENT.

The four-anna kist of 28th October is paid from the sale-proceeds of bhadoi crops; the eight-anna kist of 28th January is paid from paddy and other khārif crops, and the last four-anna kist is paid from the sale-proceeds of rab? crops, mahua and lac. 361. Neither Mr. Hewett nor Mr. Forbes allowed the raiyats any mahua trees at last settlement. With the permission of Government I have granted every raiyat, whether rent-paying or not, two each in the northern tappas and four each in the southern tappas wherever a sufficient number of trees was available. Besides this every resident raiyat has been given five cottahs, or 0.19 acre of gharbari land rent-free according to custom of the district. This concession also was not granted by the above named gentle- men at last settlement. I allowed it because it was declared in paragraph 6 of Mr. Secretary Bolton's letter No. 77T.R., dated 29th April 1896, that “it is the desire of Government, in all cases, to treat its tenants with consider- ation and leniency.” My action gave great satisfaction to the people, and they thoroughly appreciate the kindness shown to them. T ( 81 ) 362. The total area of gharbari land allowed to the raiyats is 991-51 acres. - Bad this land been assessed, the rent, at the sanctioned rates, would have amounted to Rs. 934-3-5, details of which are given in the following Statement:— É ToTAL AREA of EACH CLASS OF BHITA LAND - ALLOWED TO THE RAIYATS RENT-FREE.

The orders of Government regarding the settlement of trees with the raiyats as contained in Revenue Department No. 3292, of 17th August 1896, are as follows:— - º “As to the settlement of mahua, asan, khair, palas and kussum trees, the Lieutenant-Governor accepts the following recommendations of the Commis- sioner and the Board:— (a) Mahua trees.—That after distributing these trees, two per raiyat in the northern tappas, and four in the southern tappas, rent free, the excess trees held by a raiyat should be assessed at 4 anna's per tree in the northern tappas and at 2 annas in the southern tappas. (b) Asan trees.--That the right of using asan trees for rearing silk cocoons be sold annually by auction by the Deputy Commis- sioner, either for the whole estate or for groups of villages or for separate tappas, as may appear most advantageous. (c) Khair trees.—That the Deputy Commissioner be left to settle these trees from year to year to the best advantage. The Lieutenant- Governor agrees with the Commissioner in thinking that, in - villages where khair trees are numerous, there would be no objection to some of them being destroyed for the manufacture of kath, and that in others it might be ... not to allow such destruction, especially where they are used for lac cultivation. (d) Palas and kussum trees.—The palas and kussum trees already entered in the raiyats' names in the khatians as being in their posses- * In the northern tappas palas sion should be settled with them *...******* separately at Mr. Sunder’s rates” for *** southern tappas palas at one year, on the distinct understand- 1 anna a tree, kussam at 4 annas ing that they will be re-settled with a tree. them or not, as Government may determine on receipt of fuller information.” 364. These orders were duly complied with. ( 82 ) CHAPTER XXX. KHAS MANAGEMENT OF THE PALAMAU ESTATE, 365. Mr. Forbes made his settlement with the raiyats, but he placed a thikadar or farmer over them for the purpose of collecting the Government rent. For this the thikadar was allowed a commission of from Rs. 10 to Rs. 15 per cent., as explained in paragraph 298 of this report. From 1st April 1896 the thikadari system was abolished, and the estate was brought under khas or direct management. In Mr. Secretary Finucane's letter No. 3292, (Land Revenue), dated 17th August 1896, the Lieutenant-Governor sanctioned the introduction of khas management, but permitted settlement still to be made, as suggested by the Board, “with such individual thihadars as may have special claims to consid- eration on account of long ancestral connection with the village or of exten- sive improvements.” Sanction was also accorded to the formation of four tahsil circles. The head-quarters of these circles and the amount of rent on the new basis to be collected by the tahsildars in charge of them are shown in the following statement :— # 35 3 g ~ FoE 1896-97 2. P.

In accordance with Government order No. 3292 (Land Revenue) of 17th August 1896, the increased rentals took effect from September 1896, the beginning of the Fasli year, which is current in Palamau. The following statement shows the demand of the Palamau Government estate for land reve- nue during the years 1896-97 and 1897-98 respectively, as also the rent collected and the uncollected balance:— Percentage of NAME of Estate.

The settlement has stood the ordeal of collection, and considering that the year 1896-97 was one of scarcity, I beg to submit that the above figures cannot be said to be other than satisfactory. It should be noted that, in addition to land rent, the raiyats have for the first time this year also paid rent on account of mahua and lac-bearing trees as will be seen from paragraph 368. As to the small balance that remained unpaid for the year 1896-97, I learn that it was chiefly due from raiyats who had either proceeded to tea-gardens in Assam and the Duars, or moved on to fresh fields. The people towards the south of the district care little for their lands even where occupancy settled rights have been obtained. In paragraph 94 of this report I have explained how easily they are persuaded to move off. The only remedy for preventing loss of rent is for tahsildars to be vigilant and resettle holdings as soon as they may be relinquished either from superstition or any other equally absurd cause. There are people in almost every village who are in need of more land, and would gladly take up whatever they may be able to secure. The demand for land is great, especially as the people find that the assessment is light, and the rent can be easily paid. Vacancies caused by absconders and others are generally filled up by newcomers from other villages or contiguous districts, and there will never be loss of rent if relinquished holdings be speedily resettled with them. As to the balance of 1897-98, a large balance generally remains uncollected at the end of the year. This is due to the present kist dates bein inconvenient for payment of rent. The last four-anna kist is paid from the sale proceeds of rabi crops, mahua, and lac. The rabi crops are not ready for the market until about the end of April. Mahua falls in March and April, and is therefore also not ready. Lac is not reaped till April and May. People begin paying up after this, and the whole of the revenue is pretty regularly *collected within July of each year. SECTION II.-DEMAND ON ACCOUNT OF RENT OF MAHUA AND LAC-1BEARING TREES. 368. Under orders of Government, contained in Revenue Department letter No. 3292, of 17th August 1896, excess mahua trees were settled with the raiyats for the period of the settlement, viz., 15 years, and lac trees were settled with them for one year only, viz., for 1896-97. The following table shows the demand, collection, and balance on account of rent of the trees:- - - Percentage of Demand. Collection. Balance. collection on - demand. 1 2 3 4. 5 1896-97. Rs. Rs. Rs.

It is easily injured by frost, thunder, and other causes, and may or may not succeed, and Government should be prepared for loss of rent under this head. Considering that the year 1896-97 was a bad one for both mahua and lac, the collection is satisfactory. ( 84 ) #art B.-financial Regulfg. . CHAPTER XXXII. cost of survey AND SETTLEMENT.

Proposals for maintenance of records.-The records of 399 villages com- prising the estate have been made over to the Deputy Commissioner of Palamau, to whom a register of all raiyats holding land, whether rent-paying or not, has also been furnished. The register shows (1) the names of the raiyats and their fathers' names; (2) the area of their holdings, raiyat by raiyat; (3) the amount of rent payable for each holding, and (4) all baigai and other revenue-free holdings. This register should be kept up, and for this purpose I would beg to propose— (1) that the Maintenance of Records Act, III (B.C.) of 1895, be extended to Palamau, especially as it is, I believe, contemplated to make the provisions of the Bengal Tenancy Act applicable to the district. The tahsildars of the estate should be appointed Registrars for mutations of names in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and the work done by them would of course be generally supervised and confirmed by the district officer. As the tahsil offices are conveniently situated and easily accessible, the raiyats would have no diffi- culty in registering transfers, and they would readily do so as soon as they learn that no transfer will be recognized by Government unless and until it is duly registered. If this proposal cannot be carried out, I would suggest (2), that a copy of the above-mentioned register may be supplied to the Sub-Deputy Collector and tahsildar of the Palamau estate. In the cold weather of each year this officer should proceed to the several tappas, camp in suitable places, and call the raiyats of each village before him. . This can be easily done, with no inconvenience or trouble to the people, because most of the , 399 villages to which this settlement relates are in groups. When the raiyats are before him he should compare the names mentioned in the register with the names of the raiyats then found residing and holding land in the villages. If there be any changes, the register should be corrected at once. To do this work will not occupy the tahsildar more than two months in all, as I know from experience at time of attestation. And the only establishment he will need will be four muharrirs at Rs. 15 each a month. The total cost for two months, together with contingencies, would not be more than Rs. 150 each year. I would recommend that, if there be no objection, the latter proposal be sanctioned. SECTION II.-PERMANENT SURVEY MARKS. 375. Necessity for inspection of boundary marks.-These comprise (1) the masonry pillars that were erected during the survey of 1864-65 at every tri-junction, and (2) of the stones embedded in similar localities and along boundary lines of some of the villages during the present survey. The position of all these marks has been shown by the Survey Department on the village maps with which the tahsildars will have to work. I recommend that the Sub-Deputy Collector who is in charge of the estate and the tahsildars under him be required to inspect the marks annually and to report on their condition. - ( 86 ) CHAPTER XXXIV. 376. Notice of officers.-The only assistant I had was Babu Ramesar Persad, who had been a kanungo, but was promoted to be a Sub-Deputy Collector while the settlement was proceeding. He is a hard working and laborious officer, and did good work. CONCLUSION. 377. In concluding this report I desire only to thank His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor and the Board of Revenue for the confidence placed in me “to complete the assessment in a manner equitable to both Government and the tenants.” I need hardly say that I endeavoured to do this to the best of my ability, and the results show how far I succeeded. From start to finish I had the complete trust of the raiyats and carried them with me without hitch or trouble or objection of any kind. The raiyats are satisfied that the assessment is just and fair, and Government will see that a large increase has been effected in the revenue at a small cost. DALTONGANJ; D. SUNDER, The 24th October 1897. Settlement Officer, Palamau. APPENDICES. APPENDIX I. TAPPA KOTE. This is, in my opinion, the best tappa in Palamau, and it would be difficult to find, any where in Bengal, better rice and wheat-growing lands than those that are seen here. Situated in the valley of the Amanat river and with very rich Kawal soil throughout the tappa, the villages in it are the abode of the best class of tenants, viz., Brahmans and Rajputs, the majority of whom are extremely prosperous in consequence of the lentiful harvests of rice, barley and wheat, they generally obtain. Every bit of cultivable land has been rought under the plough by them, and there is no jungle now, except blocks of protected forest, the produce cf which they fully enjoy. Roads.-Several main roads traverse the tappa, and markets are easily get-at-able. The markets are:-(1) Daltonganj, (2) Lesliganj, (3) Dhangaon, and (4) Haratua. The villages belonging to Government, 37 in all, are:—(1) Aloala, (2) Bansdohar, (3) Kumandh (Barkagaon), (4) Baurăkhar, (5) Dhangardih, (6) Daltonganj, (7) Gopalganj, (8) Goradih Jagatpurwa, (9), Goradih Khas, (10) Goradih Kothilwa, (1i) Goradih Piprahat, (12) Goradih Toli, (13) Jaitu Khar, (14) Jamune, (15) Jhagarpur, (16) Chowkhra, (17) Kamalpur, (18) Khairant, (19) Kote Khas, (20) Kundri, (2) Kurainpatra, (22) Mundariá, (23) Nakti, (24) Parasramkhāp, (25) Phudia, (26) Phulang, (27) Pipra. Khurd, (28) Pokhraha Kalan, (29) Pokhraha Khurd, (30) Purnadih (Purnibathan), (31) Rajpur, (32) Rajwadih, (38) Rohra, (34) Sitadih, (35) Sudna, (36) Sondhiserai, and (37). Urhulia. Reservoirs.-There are 126 ahars or reservoirs in these villages now, while at last settlement there were only 23. Of these 126, some have been repaired this year, but many remain to be attended to. It is only by keeping reservoirs in order that loss of crops and consequent scarcity and non-payment of rent will be prevented. This cannot be mentioned too often or too strongly to the authorities. If the Hurgarwa river be dammed up, as recommended in paragraph 35 of this report, immense good will result to the above and many other villages, and failure of crops will never be known...The initial expense to Government in carrying out the scheme will be about Rs. 4,000 in all, but that will be fully covered by the vast amount of good that will be done.

The increase in cultivation since last settlement is 157 per cent, in dhan khet alone it is 25 per cent, and in bhita it is 272 per cent. The rent fixed at last settlement was Rs. 8,404-5-6, the attested rent is Rs. 10,824-6, and the new rent settled is Rs. 14,755-10. The increase on the rent of last settlement is 75 per cent, and on the attested rent is 36 †. cent. The increase is only due to extension of cultivation. he number of tenants in the villages of this tappa has risen from 831 at last settlement to 2,320 now ; the increase is 178 per cent.

TAPPA BARI. This tappa is divided into two blocks by the Aurunga river, which passes through it from south-east to west-north-west. The northern half contains the most valuable lands, particularly in villages situate near Satbarwa, while the southern half contains much broken and hilly ground. There are Reserved forests to the west and south of the tappa where deer and wild pig do some injury to crops. Soils.-Kewal soil is found in few places in this tappa. Pawar, gorea and balsoondar predominate. Rice, wheat, barley and sugarcane are the principal crops grown in the northern portion of the tappa, and the inhab- itants here are chiefly Brahmins, Rajputs, Muhammadans, and Oraons, while to the south paddy, pulses of sorts, and cotton are the principal crops, and the tenants are Kherwars, Oraons, and Bhuinas. Markets.-The markets are (1) Satbarwa, (2) Manka, (3) Seraidih, (4) Poolpool, and (5) Ker. Roads.—The main road from Daltonganj to Ranchi passes through this tappa, and from Manka and .* (both places of importance on the main road) well-frequented tracks pass to Mankeri and Seema on the south. There are 77 Government villages in this tappa as follows:—(1) Aghra, (2) Agardi Madhuniya...

In dhankhet the increase is 25 per cent, and in Bhita 692 per cent. The rent fixed at last settlement was Rs. 7,598-14; the attested rent is Rs. 11,129-9-9; the new rent settled is Rs. 14,295-12. The increase on the rent of last settlement is 88 per cent., and on the attested rent 28 per cent. change of rates in assessment of the new rent. The number of tenants at last settlement was 1,194; now it is 2,556, or an increase of 114 per cent. Reservoirs.--I wish specially to mention the neglected state of the reservoirs in this tappa, particularly in viiiages lying to the south. Loss of crops and consequent loss of rent must follow if these are not speedily attended to. and prosperity to the tenants will certainly follow. The increase is only due to the enormous extension in cultivation. against 5 at last settlement, There has been no There is abundant room for improvement, and if more reservoirs be made, more dhankhet land There are 123 reservoirs in the villages of this tappa now -- lxi. - - - The new rent was assessed at the rates mentioned below. Speaking generally, these rates are the same as those of last settlement: in a few cases they are lower than those rates— RATES AT WHICH THE REVENUE HAS BEEN ASSESSED AT PRESENT SETTLEMENT.

TAPPA TALEYA. The northern half of this tappa is well under cultivation, especially towards Shahpur, Cheinpur, and Taleya khas, where the rice and bhita lands are very valuable. The southern half is hilly and still backward and sparsely populated owing to the want of a good road leading from Shahpur to Ranka. Soils.-The soil is chiefly pawar and gorea; kewal in places yields splendid crops of rice wheat, and barley, which are the principal cereals grown in this tappa. Roads.-A drivable road runs through the northern part of the tappa towards Garwa. Markets.-Three weekly markets, viz., Cheinpur, Patra and Salatua are doing much to attract people to this tappa. The ten villages here belonging to Government are—Taleya khas, Khutar Kalan, Shahpur, Mahulia, Talapara, Pataria, Jainagra, Banjari, Bhairwa and Jagarnathpur. The area of lands assessed to revenue in this tappa, the number of tenants, and other particulars are given in the following statement:— # DETAILS OF TENANTS AND OCCUPANTS. º ‘E - - - .: - 7...a -- - - ~ 35 P. - # #3 °g RENT. # ## C * : 3 # #3 gă É? | a LASSIFICATIon r: - ...t. -- *.c. . . c 3 OR LANDS.

The number of tenants in the tappa has risen from 172 at last settlement to 401 now, the increase being 183 per cent - The rent as fixed at last settlement was Rs. 1,410-12-2; the attested rent is Rs. 1,756-14-6; the new rent settled is Rs. 2,449-5-0. The increase is 73 per cent, on the rent by last settle- ment, and 39 per cent, on the attested rent, and is simply due to extension of cultivation. The inadequacy of ahars or reservoirs in this tappa is retarding further improvement. I would strongly recommend that this work be attended to, and that all existing reservoirs be repaired. There are only 75 reservoirs in the villages here at present. The rates at which the new rent was assessed are those shown in the following statement, and are practically the same as those of last settlement.

This is a shikmi or subordinate tappa of tappa Untari, and lies to the west of Palamau. With Garwa market situated within the tappa, the lands have attracted a large number of cultivators, are valuable, and well under the plough. Roads.--A good, driveable road passes through the tappa towards Mirzapur, and there is always much traffic on it. The Government villages here are (1) Chirounjia and (2) Gurdi. In the latter the Govern- ment share is seven annas and six pies only. The soil is chiefly kewal and pawar. The principal crops grown are paddy, sugar- cane, and wheat. Most of the tenants in Chirounjia are Koiries, who keep Garwa Bazar supplied with garden vegetables, sugarcane, and gur.

The number of tenants has risen from 71 at last settlement to 130 now, the increase being 83 percent. Pº. rent fixed at last settlement was Rs. 347-7-6, the attested rent is Rs. 778-14-6, and the new rent settled is Rs. 884. The increase on the rent by last settlement is 154 per cent, and on the attested rent is 13 per cent. The increase is due to extension of cultivation.

TAPPA TAPPA. THIS º: obtains its name from a high hill which is in the centre of it. It is bounded on the south by the Auranga river, and on the north by pargana Tori. It is a flourishing tappa, well under cultivation, and has the advantage of a main road (that from Daltonganj to Ranchi) running through its centre. Owing to the undulating nature of the country in places, terraced rice-fields are common here. The principal crops grown are rice, makai, oil-seeds, cotton, and little barley. Wheat does not thrive here, owing to unsuitability of soil which is chiefly pawar and ankri. In a few beds of old streams which have silted up the soil is a rich black loam, from which good crops of rice are obtained. Markets.-The only market in the tappa is Latiahar, but the tenants have every facility for selling crops at Korid, Zalim and Nawaghur markets, which lie within six miles. The Government villages in the tappa are as follows:—(1) Amwatikar, (2) Banpur, (3) Chandandih, (4) Dudangi Kalan, (5) Dudangi Khurd, (6) Dugila, (7) Butwag, (8) Jalta, (9) Kerkat, (10) Khaparkheta, (11) Latiahar, (12) Manko, (13) Manikpur, (14) Pandehpura, (15) Parsahi, (16) Rajahar, (17) Rehra, (18) Salodih, and (19) Tappa Khas. Yº- Reservoirs.-The reservoirs or dhars in all these villages are in a neglected condition and urgently need to be repaired and put in order. Until this is done, Government need not expect either further improvement in the tappa or punctual payment of the rent. The outlay of a small amount for making and repairing reservoirs will ensure a full harvest of the crops and permanently benefit both the tenants and Government. Roads.-A road from Latiahar to Korid, and thence to Pankey, would be of much use to the raiyats.

TAPPA SEEMA. This tappa is bounded on the north-west and south by Reserved forest. The Koel river passes through the tappa, and the valley is highly cultivated in many places, especially to the south and east, where the soil is a rich clayey loam yielding splendid crops of paddy. Owing to the hills which surround the tappa and the undulating nature of the country, the lands are naturally well watered, and irrigation is not much resorted to. There are villages, however, where the construction of reservoirs would be extremely beneficial, and would help to convert much upland into best rice lands. I recommend that this be attended to. Reservoirs.-There are 54 reservoirs in the Government villages now against none at last settlement.

The crops grown are paddy and pulses. Roads.—The roads through the tappa are mere foot tracks and difficult of passage during the rains. A good road from Mahuadand through tappa Bareysand towards Daltonganj would be a great improvement. Markets.-The only market is at Mahuadand.

TAPPA BAREYSAND. This tappa is surrounded by hills and jungle on all sides. Reserved forests lie to the north and east, while tappa Chechari is situate to the west and south. There are only seven villages in the tappa, viz. (1), Bareysand Khas, (2) Mayapur, (3) Derhgaon, (4) Danrkocha, (5) Paharkocha, (6) Ramisilli, and (7) Mangra. With the exception of the first two, where the rice lands and soil are good, the remaining villages contain inferior doma, ankri and laiki soil, on which the principal crops grown are pulses of sorts and cotton. All the villages belong to Government. The tenants are chiefly Kherwars and Bhuinas. Roads.-There are no roads leading to the tappa. the rains difficult of passage. Markets.-The markets lie at a distance, and the tenants are put to much inconvenience on this account. I had intended establishing a weekly market at Bareysand Khas ; but funds were not provided, and the matter was allowed to drop. A market is urgently needed here and should be opened. It would soon pay for itself, as cotton, grain, lac and other articles would be brought for sale from Chechari and Barwe, and a large trade would speedily follow. The foot-tracks are bad, and during - - º- Moreover, the good that this would do to the Government villages would be very great.

TAPPA KHAMI. This tappa is surrounded on all sides by Reserved forest, except towards the west where a small portion is bounded by tappa Suniya. The Koel river flows to the south and west of the tappa. There are 13 villages here belonging to Government, viz., (1) Barkheta, (2) Berey, (3) Gassedag, (4) Harhey, (5) Karamdih, (6) Khami Khas, (7) Ladi, (8) Lat, (9) Nuranago, (10) Patradih, (11) Serandag, (12) Toongari and (13) Tanwai, Soil.—The soil is a rich black clayey loam, and some very fine rice lands are to be seen in this tappa; but owing to the Reserved forests, the loss of cattle and crops by wild animals, and the want of reservoirs and roads, the tappa remains thinly inhabited. Markets.-The nearest market is Ker, a distance of 16 miles. Roads.--There is only a foot-path leading to it, and this is very bad during the rains. * Particulars as to the area of lands assessed to rent and other details are given in the following table:— É DETAILS OF TENANTS AND OCCUPANTS, - .: - w; - : dº on- + É 3 # # || 3 || Rºst- Hå # CLASSIFICATION OF : ă 5 ă #: # # T. # LANDS. : ~ 5 Class of tenants 3 㺠: $53 # c - - ss ol te - - - - - --> ºne º : ‘. º # É # ### Before Accºins ££5. §§ tº: .C. - *: c: º ; #33 settlement, settlement. |}^3| #33 -: * | * - .:0 ..sº : # | ###| | ### ºf a £ 3; ; ; ; 2 : : #3 E | ###| | #52 E3: $3.3 3 -: -: - - 2. -: -: 2. -r: º: 1. 2 3 4. • 6 | | | | | * | * 11 is 13 14 A. | D.

The increase, which is due only to extension of cultivation, is 68 per cent. on the rent of last settlement, and 6 per cent, on the attested rent. - Reservoirs.-If new ahars or reservoirs be made in the villages of this tappa, and the º existing reservoirs be repaired, I have no doubt that, by next settlement, the area of dhankhet º land would be trebled, and that more people would be attracted to the villages. A good road - is also much needed. The number of tenants at last settlement was 193, while the number now is 318, the increase being 65 per cent. , * - clxxi .

TAPPA IDURJAG. This tappa is bounded on the west by the Koel river, and on the south and east by Reserved forest. Towards the north and centre of the tappa the lands are well under cultivation, and many good blocks of rice-fields are found here. Soil.-The soil is a blackish loam, which is naturally fertile, and the means of irrigation are plentiful. Reservoirs.-There are 79 reservoirs in the villages of this tappa now against 3 at last settlement. In most villages new reservoirs are urgently wanted and existing ones should be repaired. Roads. -A road is needed from Daltonganj towards Ker and thence into this tappa; one is also required from Seraidih Bazar through the tappa. The existing roads are mere foot- tracks and some are very difficult of passage. 2 *—The markets at which the tenants dispose of their crops are (1) Siraidih and (2) Ker. - The villages belonging to Government are :—(1) Amdiha, (2) Bahmandih, ((3) Bari- chatang, (4) Baridahar, (5) Barwadih, (6) Chipadahar, (7) Checha, (8) Chuturiagar, (9) Dorami, (10) Hidehas, (11) Harmamand, (12) Juruahar, (13) Khura, (14, Kochila, (15) Lohurtand, (16) Morwai Khurd, (17) Mooroo, (18) Paira, (19) Putuagar, (20) Saidup, (21).

This broken hilly land forms part of the watershed between the Koel and Kunhur rivers, which, although extremely tortuous, is nevertheless well marked, from Duthoo to the west and south, by the chain of hills of which the prominent peaks Harta Bagi, Bijka and Nowka, may be named, being offshoots from the Gulgulpat in Sirguja ” Soil.—The soil is a rich black sandy loam. There are no roads in the tappa, but numerous bridle-paths leading to Daltonganj, and all important places exist. Markets.-The markets in the tappa are (1) Sokra and (2) Chunga, belonging to jagirdars. Only two villages, viz, Kundpani and Musurmu, have been dealt with in this tappa. In both | these the Government share is 4 annas and six pies only. - The area of lands assessed to rent in this tappa, the number of tenants, and other particulars are given in the following statement:— - | - ºr | # DETAILS OF TENANTS AND OCCUPANTS. -- £ - r: -- - - º - £ #5 # RENT- ## ## - 3 3. ; ; § 5 - º- C1As81R1cation § g à l = 2, É *5.3] : 3 ow LAND’s. - : £ 3.5 3 tº -33] : : g 3. - -- Class of tenants. *: I cº- 7.5 According STEE| 3: º -- - | ..sº - --- 3.35 - º - º- * | --> - * - --- Before to - - % tº: º -- --> * | * 3. #3 #3 settlement, settlement. |### ÉÉ º : -: ...tº 'F's 5 º: > - E 35 - # # E E?

TAPPA BARKOL. This tappa is situate on the south-west boundary of Palamau, and skirts the right bank of - the Kunhur river. The tappa is very hilly, jungly and sparsely populated. The country is extremely rugged and broken. The mountainous watershed between the Koel and Kunhur rivers runs through the tappa. At many places this shed is very narrow, and occasionally the waters of the two rivers almost meet. Roads.-There are no roads. The foot-tracts are bad, and in places difficult of passage. The markets lie at a distance. Soil.—The soil is chiefly pawar and gorea with an admixture of gangti and pathli in X. The reservoirs in the village are in disrepair, hence the falling off in area under rice. part of this decrease is also due to third class rice land of last settlement having been classified as first class bhuta in this settlement. - -- The tenants are chiefly Kherwars and Bhuihars. º The Government villages in the tappa are (1) Binda, and (2) Bhandaria.

The amount paid by Government during each of the last five years on account of rewards for killing wild anmials, being chiefly tigers, leopards, and bears is given below:— 1892-93 --- 1893-94 --- --- 1894-95 --- --- 1895-96 --- išjāj: ...

P. ... 384 8 0 ... 1,028 4 0 --- ... 1,321 12 0 --- ... 1,972 12 0 --- ... 1,111 8 0 * The skins and skulls of tiger, leopard, bear, and other wild animals are brought to the kutchery for payment of rewards. Government pays Rs. 25 for killing a full-grown tiger, a a 2 cciv Rs. 5 for a leopard, Rs. 5 for a wolf, and Rs. 2-8 for a bear. . After inspection by a gazetted officer, the skins are generally taken away by kutchery officials, the police, or pleaders and mookhtars, some of whom, I believe, sell them in Calcutta or elsewhere at good profits. When a guarantee is given that a skin will not be produced for a second reward, the head is not cut .# and this enhances its value. The price of a good tiger skin in the market is said to be about Rs. 100 and of a leopard skin Rs. 50. I would recommend that, instead of allowing wild animal skins to be taken away by people, as they are at present, they should be sold to the highest bidder by public auction, and the sale-proceeds credited to Government. Another suggestion I would like to make on this subject is this. Tiger and leopard cubs, young bears, wolves and other wild animals are frequently brought to the kutcherry for reward. Why should not they be taken over and forwarded to the Zoological Gardens, Calcutta ? If this were regularly done in all districts of Chota Nagpur, Sonthal Parganas and Orissa, a large number of valuable Indian animals would soon be obtained and would considerably benefit the Gardens. s CC, V. rº- - APPENDIX XXI.

The naturalist will find abundant scope for work here. A variety of doves are found here, and are eaten by Oraons whenever captured or shot. I desire specially to invite atttention of Government to some extraordinary cruelty that is practised in the district by Mir Shikars. They set traps on the banks of streams for the common Indian kingfisher (Alcede bengalensis), which are netted in large numbers. The birds are skinned as soon as possible. The skins are dried, and at end of the season are despatched to French traders in Dinapur, whence they are said to be sent on to Paris for ladies' hats and other ornaments. I have seen as many as 160 skins with a single Mir Shikar. The slaughter of this beautiful bird is so great at present that there will probably be no more kingfishers in Palamau district within a short time. I would beg to suggest that the killing of the bird may be stopped altogether. The Indian Oriole (Oriolus Indicus) should also be protected. - ccvi APPENDIX XXII. REPTILEs.

Rinderpest and other diseases carry off large numbers of cattle, and the raiyat is often unable to make good his losses. Plough-bullocks are sold in the district all round the year at Garhwa, Tarhasse, Pathra, Nawaghar, and a few other of the larger markets. They are also brought annually from Mirzapur, Gaya, and other districts, and are sold at Hirhanj fair in pargana Tori, and at Daltonganj fair in pargana, Kote. The value of a pair of good plough-bullocks is Rs. 20 to Rs. 25. In the sale of cattle, when the sale is completed, dubh grass is given by the seller to the buyer, who is bound thereby to pay the money and keep the cow. On once accepting dhub grass, he is precluded from returning the cow. A bullock is employed for light ploughing when it has four teeth; it is fit for hard work when it has six teeth; and if carefully looked after, as some bullocks are, it works on till 12 years. - When a plough-bullock's age is asked, the reply is that it has carried a yoke for two or four or six kands, as the case may be. Its age in years is not mentioned. Buffaloes are seldom used in agricultural work, Oraons employ them now and again for ploughing purposes, and they may be occasionally seen working a Behea mill; but bullocks are used as a rule. An average male buffalo, fit for work, costs about Rs. 15 to Rs. 20. They are put to work when four years old. They are said to suffer much from heat, and live only about ten years. The young male buffaloes are sold to people who come annually for them. - The milch cow is in no way remarkable. An ordinary Palamau cow will give, when in average milk, about one seer pucca, and a buffalo two to three seers a day. Cows begin to calve when three years old, and give six to eight calves. Some cows calve at intervals of one year; they are called dhanpuri. Some calve at intervals of two years; they are called ehnri. Buffaloes have their first calf when four years old, and have four or five more at intervals. Cows are milked in the morning. Milking of buffaloes takes place at morning and evening, the former giving about one-third more than the latter. The milk is boiled in an earthen vessel, and then some curd is added. It settles by the night, and in the morning is churned. The butter is separated by hand. It is not used as such, but is clarified, and the resulting ghi is sold or retained for household needs. The butter-milk, called mahtta, is consumed in the family. Little milk is drunk, and that only by children. Food of cattle.—There is always a sufficient supply of green fodder, particularly in the southern tappas, where rainfall is greater than in the north of the district, and people fre- quently take their cattle to tappas Seema, Durjag, Berkol, and Duthu, where the best grass is obtainable. In the northern tappas during Cheyt and Bysack, Jeyt and Assar, the broken straw of wheat and barley, called bhusa, is the principal food of cattle. Crushed gram, paddy husk, and rahar husk are also given. Some people also give boiled mahua and oilcake to milch cows to increase milk. Cotton seed (banour) is mixed with oilcake and given to plough-bullocks and also milch cows. All cattle are allowed rock-salt at intervals of 15 or 20 days, while cows in milk are given salt at intervals of three or four days. During the Sohrai festival ght is rubbed on the horns of all cattle for three or four days. Every house has its own charwaha, or cowherd, who is generally a member of the family. When an outsider is employed he is either given banni at the rate of three seers of grain a day or he is paid in cash at the rate of one anna per cow annually. Calves are not counted. Sometimes cattle are made over to an ahir for the purpose of being looked after. He takes the milk of cows of the herd for his trouble. He gets nothing more. When an ahir looks after buffaloes, he is allowed the milk of one buffalo in every twelve. The diseases from which cattle suffer are mentioned in the following statement:— -- Serial Iſlum- ber.

Not fatal. The animal turns round and round and shows giddiness. Oiled rags are tied on its horns and are set ablaze for a little time. This is said to effect a cure. Sores form on the animal’s tongue. The remedy is to draw out the tongue and lance the sores with a thorn of Bagnaha tree, after which salt and ghi are rubbed on. Not fatal. The presence of the disease is known only when the animal refuses food. Water is warmed and the parts affected are washed. Purging. Jao (barley) is ground and mixed with water and given to the animal. The animal's gums become sore. The re- medy is to soak cotton wool in mustard oil and to stuff the sores with it. A cure is effected in about a week. Both shoulders swell, and death ensues in four days. Fatal. - The animal gradually becomes thin. A sickle is heated and the body of the animal is singed all over. The animal pants. A mixture of chillies, jhul (cobweb), and turmeric flower are mixed with water and poured into the animal's throat. Not fatal. The neck is singed with a heated iron by an Ahir or Bhuian. Sheep.–Sheep are kept by gareris in flocks called kurha or gohara. About 200 sheep remain in each kurha; and are tended by two men called charwahas. A male sheep is bhenrá; a castrated sheep is badhiya; a ewe is bheri; a lamb is bakru ; a sheep with small ears is ghuja; one with long ears is käri ; a half-black and half-white sheep is kabri; a white sheep is balar; a sheep all black with a white mark on its head is chenuar; a sheep all black with white tail is chanwar; a sheep with long horns is singar. The castrated sheep are sold annually. The price of those with two teeth is Re. 1-8 to Re 1-12, and those with from four to six teeth is Rs. 2-8 to Rs. 2-14 each. There is a large export of sheep to Dinapore and Calcutta. Sheep are given rock salt (kharia nimak) by the owner every 15 or 22 days, at the rate of two seers (kachi) to every 20 sheep. They are sheared in Falgun, Assar, and Kartik annually. Half the wool is taken by the owner, and the other half by the charwahas, who do the shearing. Half-a seer (kachi) of wool is obtained from each sheep at each shear- ing or one and-a-half seer annually. The value of this is 6 annas. The wool is woven into strips of blankets by gareris. Three or four strips are sewn together into one blanket. These sell at Re. 1-4 to Rs. 3 each according to weight. Blankets weighing from 5 to 6 seers are called dutagi, while the lighter ones are called eksuti. The charwahas are allowed to graze sheep wherever they please. kiari and bari lands of agriculturists. together with salt, per diem. There is always a dog to each flock of sheep. They fold them on For this they get sidha of 2% seers of rice and dāl, The owner of the field has to give half-a-seer of rice for the dog daily. In the rains three or four flocks remain together. The charwahas milk eves and make ghi. Two chittaks of ghi are obtained per seer of milk. The use of this ghi as a liniment is supposed to be a good remedy for rheumatism. Sheepskins are sold to leather merchants (sawdagar) at one and-a- half anna per skin. d d 2 ccxii The diseases of sheep are as follows— (1) Barsati."—The animals' hoofs swell and small sores form between them. The remedy is to brand them with a heated iron. (2) Phepra-Water drops from the nose and a noise issues from the throat, indicat- ing that the lungs are affected—often fatal. (3) Ghumri.-Occurs in January, and is said to be caused by eating wet, grass. The remedy is to brand the animal on the forehead and at back of head with a heated iron. Not fatal. (4) Khansi.-Running of nose and cough. Not fatal. In the diseases Nos. 2, 3, and 4 a mixture of onions and mustard oil is always poured down the animal’s throat. Fodder.—In the rains the best fodder for sheep is said to be leaves of ber, bel, kakor, and khair trees. During winter, besides this fodder, they feed on the seed of the chakwar 84g. In the summer they feed on grass alone. Goats are kept by people throughout Palamau, and a large trade in them goes on annually with butchers and others who come for them from Behar and Dinapur. The goatherd is paid on the adh batiya system, viz., he gets one kid out of every two that may be born. The value of a goat yaries from Re. 1 to Rs. 8 according to size and condition of the animal. Goat's milk is not drunk. The people keep ponies, the majority of which are mares. They are used for riding and also for carrying loads from bazar to bazar. All are small and of a poor type. Mares are said to foal every two years. The value of a pony varies from Rs. 10 to Rs. 30. I have seen no mules in Palamau, Donkeys are used by a few people for carrying loads. No pigs are shown in the above statement; but there are some in every village, and are kept by Bhuinas, Dosadhs, and other low castes. Domestic fowls are kept in most villages by Muhamadans, Bhuinas, and others. Geese are also sometimes seen. Dead cattle are eaten by Bhuinas, Doms, Chamars, and other low castes. As a rule Chamars are entitled to the skins of animals that die a natural death, but not of those killed for food. The skins of the latter are retained by their owners. The bones of cattle are collected annually by Muhammadans, who come during the dry season for this purpose, and are taken away on carts to Gaya, whence they are railed to the Bally Fone Mills. coxiii ſº - º r ºl - - APPENDIX XXVI.

The others are made up by the carpenter, blacksmith, and chamar as part of their ordinary duties, the agriculturist supplying wood and iron, but not leather. In Palamau the mangarieta plough is used in the southern tappehs because the soil is said to be turned up better by it, and the cultivators, who are chiefly Oraons and Kherwars, find it of more use than the light Maghaiya plough. In the former plough the iron share (phûr) fits into a hollow, which is made in the upper part of the sole, while in the Maghaiya plough the share is kept in position in the hollow by a iron staple fixed over it. The handle of the plough is called chandli. The wood to which the handle is attached is lagna. The wise saw advising how implements connected with a plough should be made, and what the height of ayles should be is as follows:– 1 “Cháude bitek Sár. Sáre tin bitek lagná. Tin ser phâr. Kand bhar ke juát. Nao muthi ke painá. Tekre neote dihe ér Se me bune sikisár. Nahoe to bhandariya ke dihe går.” (The length of the beam should be fourteen spans. The length of the handle should be three and-a-half spans. The weight of the share should be three seers. The weight of the yoke should not be more than can be carried on the shoulders. The length of the whip should be the width of nine fists. The height of the ayles should be of the length of the whip. Siki sar paddy may then be sown. If it fails, then abuse the poet.) - (2) “Haris re bhur poris. - Nao muti ke painá. º Chao muti ke phár. Paina sarike die ár Se me bune siki sãr. Nahoe to bhandar ke dihe gar.” (The plough beam should be the length of a man. The length of the whip should be the width of nine fists. The height of the ayles should be the length of the whip. Sow siki sar paddy on the field. If it fails, abuse the poet.) Birjeas, Parhaiyas, and Korwas, who cultivate by the juming process on hill sides, use the following implements:— (1) Sursi, an iron ram for digging holes into which seed is dropped; (2) gorgain or akhain, a hooked implement used for scraping the ground and turning soil over seed; (3) tanga, an axe for cutting wood; and (4) datrom, a sickle serrated and used for the purpose of reaping crops. CCXV APPENDIX XXVII. RIVERs. The principal river in Palamau are the Koel, Amanat, Aranga, and Kumhar. The Són river runs about fifteen miles to the north of the northern boundary, and the Kunhar river (important feeder of the Són) is the boundary between Palamau and Sirguja on the south-west. The description of the rivers as given in Hunter’s “Statistical Account of Bengal,” page 236, is as follows:– “The Koel river.—The most important stream is the north Koel, which rises in the Barwa hills in Chutia Nagpur, and passing through the centre of Palamau falls into the Són, about twenty miles above Dehri. Throughout a large part of its course the bed of the North Koel is rocky, and even if the worst obstacle—a ridge of gneiss rock crossing the river near the village of Sig-Siggi—could be removed, the sudden freshets which take place during the rains would render navigation extremely dangerous. The Koel is navigable during the rains for boats of one hundred maunds as far as Daltonganj, but they come up with great difficulty, and the journey from the point where the Koel meets the Són up to Daltonganj is said to occupy from fifteen to twenty days. “The Amanat river.—The chief feeder of the North Koel is the Amanat, which takes its rise in the hilly pargana of Kunda in Hazaribagh district. It meets the North Koel from the east, and the richest and most thickly-populated portion of Palamau is the undulating plain to the north formed by the junction of these two rivers—the Amanat from the east and the Koel from the south. The bed of the North Koel is rocky up to the point of junction, but that of the Amanat and of the united stream is entirely composed of sand. Near the centre cf Palamau the two valleys coalesce into one, which extends to the river Són. The average width of the valleys is about eight miles, and they are flanked on either side by ranges of hills lying about fifteen miles apart. “The Auranga river.—The river Auranga rises in Chota Nagpur, and after a course of about fifty miles joins the Koel at the village of Kechki in tappa Bari, ten miles south of Daltonganj. The Auranga is a rocky and picturesque stream, and its valley forms an area of richly productive soil in the south-east portion of Palamau. “The Kanhar river.—The river Kanhar is a large mountain torrent, which rises below the western face of the Jamira pat in the tributary mahal of Sirguja. For a considerable distance it runs parallel with the North Koel, marking the western boundary of Palamau, and eventually falls into the Són in the district of Mirzapur, some way to the west of the former river. The bed of the Kanhar is rocky throughout its course, and the valley does not afford a cultivated area of any importance. - - ccxvi. APPENDIX XXVIII. THE PEOPLE. According to the last Census taken on 26th February 1891, the population of Palamau is 596,770. Details of this figure will be found in paragraph 65 of this report. From paragraph 78 it will be seen that the number of raiyats in the Palamau estate, including rent-free holders, is 13,244. The most well-to-do of these are Brahmans, Rajputs and Muhammadans. The Brahmans found in the district are the (1) Kanaujia, (2) Sarwaria, (3) Sakaldwipi, (4) Maha Brahman and (5) Bhuinhar or as they are also called Maghaiya or Jimidar Brahman. The Kanaujia will eat roti and drink water from the Sakaldwipi, Sarwaria, and Bhuinhar Brahmans; but will eat no cooked food, nor will these classes eat food cooked by the Kanaujia. The tradition of the Kanaujia Brahman is that they have been in Palamau for over two centuries. All Brahmans wear fineo or the sacred thread. In marriages and other ceremonies a Sakaldwipi may attend a Kanaujia household. Sakaldwipi Brahmans are known to be priests or purohit of Kanaujias. At marriage the purohit and napit jointly issue the neotas (invitations). Kanaujia Brahmans of Palamau are divided into sub-castes (paris) whose titles are Chaube, Misser, Panre, Patak, Dube, Upadhya, Ojha, Tewari and Sukul. The titles of the Sakaldwipi Brahmans are Misser, Panre, Patak and Baid. The Sarwaria Brahmans are said to have originally been Kanaujia. The legend relating to them is this :—Five Kanaujia Brahmans were sent to King Ram Chandra to perform a bhoj ceremony. They were instructed not to accept any dachina (present). After performing the bhoj the King caused pan (betel leaf) which were tacked with cloves of gold to be given to them, and they accepted this. On their return home they were questioned as to whether they had accepted dachina or not. They replied in the negative; but subsequently the golden cloves were found with them, owing to which they were out-casted. They then appealed to the King. He made them settle on the bank of the Sarju river whence they obtained the name Sarwaria. Among Sarwaria Brahmans their daughters keep their heads uncovered until married. On the wedding day the husband's elder brother places a sheet over the head of the bride and thereafter she is obliged to remain covered The Bhuinhar or Jimidar Brahmans are not purohits nor do they attend to any religious ceremonies. They are good agriculturists and hold some of the best lands in the northern tappas of Palamau. They are well-to-do, provident and prosperous in every way. The Maha Brahmans attend to Karmat and other ceremonies connected with deceased persons. They are looked down on for accepting property left by the deceased. The Maha Brahman is called the one-day purohit. The Rajputs are by far the most wealthy and prosperous people of Palamau, and not only have the best houses and lands, but also the best cattle. They are to be found throughout the district; but chiefly in the northern and highly cultivated tappas. They are tall, well-built, with grey eyes, and the majority are exceedingly intelligent. They wear the sacred thread, and their marriage and other ceremonies are in every respect like those of Hindus generally. Marriages take place at the age of 8 to 12 years, and puberty begins at 14 years. Widow re-marriage is not allowed. Among well-to-do Rajputs women do not fetch water from the well. A louñri (drudge, Kaharin by caste, is kept for this purpose. Brahmans, Rajputs and all Hindus profess to believe in one supreme God; but the common people pay Him no special respect and render Him no service. Rajputs venerate Debi and have a special place called Debi-sthān for this deity. A kid is killed three times a year as an offering. In some villages small huts called Devi-Mandwap have been specially built for Debi. The purohit does puja there especially when cholera and other sickness prevails. In large villages puja is not performed daily, but should be done in Savan and Cheyt. Sivalas are to be found in some villages for worship of Mahadeo. The Brahman in charge has to do puja there daily. There are Tacurbaries at Ranka, Chainpur, Untari, Nawa, Bisrampur, and Babhandi, and are supported by the jagirdars of these places. Brahman priests look after them. Beggars who may go there are given grain or pice for one meal. Hindus keep a purohit, who is a Brahman who can read and white. They also have a guru who repeats mantras (prayers) for their welfare. A few Hindus keep a puranik who is able to read the sacred books to them. Muhammadans.—This community comprises the Eraki, Kalal, Momin, Kasab, Dhuniya, Churihar and Kunjra. The Ranki or Eraki Muhammadans, besides being cultivators, are also traders and money-lenders, and are generally well off. The Kalals are farmers of out- still shops in the district. Momins are jolahas. The word Momin means a man of conscience, and is used by jolahas after their names, because the word jolaha is held in ridicule. They are weavers and good agriculturists. The Kasabs are butchers. Dhuniyas are cotton cleaners; Churihars make lac bracelets and Kunjras are well-known market gardeners. Muhammadans of the Syud class are addressed as Mir Saheb.; Pathans are addressed as Khan Saheb, and Moghuls, of whom there are a few in Hussainabad, are addressed as Mirza Saheb. The Eraki, É. Churihars, Dhuniyas and Jolahas generally have the prefix Shaik before their names. They are said to be a low caste of Mullammadans, and are not really within the class of Shaik ; nevertheless they consider themselves as such. Marriages among them take place within their own class. In the centre, east and south of the district, the majority of the Muhammadans are Sunnath Jamāeth or Sunnis, while in pargana Japla, some of them are Shias. They are ccxvii - supposed to follow the Muhammadan law, but are by no means strict observers of it. They Qught to perform the prescribed nama; five times a day, but they do not. They ought to fast during the month of Ramzan, but they do not. They clip their moustaches, eat meat only of animals slaughtered by the halal method of cutting the throat, and are particular in attending at the mosque for congregational devotion at the Id festival. They practise circumcision, are married by the Kazi or his agent by the nikah ceremony and bury their dead. There are mosques at Daltonganj, Shahpur, Satbarwa, Latiahar, Basariya and Taiya, and good Muhammadans attend there for public prayer every Friday evening and say their prayers, the jumma namas the stated number of times daily. The principal day for worship is Friday when prayers begin at 1 P.M. or thereafter. They form in line, with the Imām a pace or two ahead of them, and while he recites the faraz namas or prayers authorized by the Koran the others follow him. Some of them fast during the 30 days of the Ramzan, and the Shias, as well as a few Sunnis, occasionally do so during the first ten days of the month of the Muharram and sometimes on the ninth day of the month of Bakr-Id festival. They give alms to the poor at all the principal festivals. Fakirs visit, mosques every morning and keep the place clean. On Fridays the fakir visits homesteads and asks a blessing on the inmates. He is never sent away without some food or money. At Lesligunge there is an Anjan-Sahid or tomb of a pir or saint, which is an object of much veneration. For further information regarding Brahmans, Rajputs, Muhammadans, and other castes mentioned in paragraph 78 of this report, except Cheros, Kherwars, Parhaiyas, Brijias, Korwas, Kissans, Bhuihers, Oraons and Agarias, aboriginal tribes of Palamau of whom I have given an account in detail below, I would refer the reader to Mr. Risley’s “Tribes and Castes of Bengal,” Dalton’s “Ethnology of Bengal” and Mr. Sherring’s “Tribes and Castes of India.” I have furnished an account of the Koiris, as they are the well-known market gardeners of the district and also of the Dhanuks, as they are a special class of people. In my account of these and other aforementioned tribes, the reader will find much that does not appear in the books referred to above and many of their omissions have, I believe, been supplied in this report. Homestead.—Among Brahmans and Rajputs when a house is to be built, the ground where the principal wall is to be run up is dug and a pice together with some kaseli (betel nut) are buried there and the Brahman offers pujas (prayers). When the house is ready, a feast is given and Brahmans are fed. The roof of the house is tiled. From the street you first enter the dhawa (verandah). From there you Fº through the dura (door) into the angina (courtyard) and thence into the ghar (house). This is divided into two compart- ments by a mud wall about three feet high. In one of them called chuhan food is cooked ; the other is used for sleeping in. In the summer, men sleep in the dhawa ; women sleep in the angina. If beds (khatia) be available, they are used, otherwise people sleep on chattai (matting). Cattle are tied in the barsar or gaosala (a shed) which is erected outside. If there be no barsar cattle are tied in the dhawa. A trough called gonri is made for them in the barsar. Every chuhan has an oven called chula on which food is cooked. Fire is called resum. Alongside the chula is the thaona (a mud plinth) on which cooking utensils are rested for the purpose of draining water from them. Hatuas, (large earthen vessels), are kept in every chuhan for storing grain in. In Jeyt and Bysack water is stored in them. Inside every house a small hole called dhirka is made on the wall; this is used for resting the chirag (lamp), on or for keeping the oil bottle - - In Dashara, women make rice flour, colour it red and mark the walls of the house all over outside. This is called “ghar jugaha.” At marriage the walls of one of the huts comprising the homestead are marked outside with circles and images of horses and elephants and other pictures. This is done by the saosin or daughters of the house with flour of rice, mixed with turmeric, and other colours and is called kohobar. The bride and bridegroom occupy the hut in which kohobar has been done, as it is considered to be a lucky one. They are precluded from staying in any other apartment. Household furniture.—A list of cooking utensils, plates, dishes and other furniture in a raiyat’s homestead will be found in Appendix XXIV of this report. With the exception of the metal vessels, the furniture of the house of an ordinary raiyat costs very little. The string of the bedstead is made at home from sabe grass, which grows throughout the district, while the carpenter makes the furniture and the potter supplies the earthen vessels. Daily life and food-The ordinary able-bodied raiyat, except among Kherwars, is extremely hard-working and laborious. He rises early, eats a little stale rice or roti, gets out his bullocks, goes to the fields and begins work at once. He is almost unremitting in toil during the season and may often be seen either ploughing, harrowing or repairing ayles of fields till as late as sunset each day. In the morning after ploughing till about 9 o'clock, he eats about a quarter seer of mahua which he had brought with him. This is called lookma. The principal meal called kalewa is brought to him by his wife or child at about noon and consists of makai porridge (bhat), or of rice or suthu, or any other article that may be available, together with vegetables. The next meal, called biari, is taken in the evening or at nightfall and is also a warm one. A young man in full work will eat daily from 1 to Ił seer of cooked grain, a quarter seer of pulse, besides vegetables, dahi, butter, milk, &c. Fowls, goat's flesh and venison are eaten whenever available. Lookma and kalewa are generally eaten in the fields; biari always at home. The father eats first, the children may eat with him. The mother has her food last of all. She cooks the food and also helps it. The father takes his meals in the dhawa (verandah) of the hut ; the mother eats in the chuhan, If metal plates be in the house, they are used, otherwise fresh leaf plates are made for each meal. If there be aged people in the house, they have their meals before anybody. º € e ccxviii The women of the house do all the cooking, grinding, cleaning and spinning. They also cut fuel in waste lands and Protected forests and bring it home on their heads when the bundles are small. When large logs or stakes of wood are cut they are brought home tied to a yolk and dragged by plough bullocks which are driven by men. In thickly opulated places like Daltonganj, fuel is brought in daily by Bhuinya women and sold . them in the market. The sale proceeds are used for purchase of salt, oil and other articles that may be needed. Among well-to-do Brahmans, Rajputs and Muhammadans the women remain at home. The wives and daughters of ordinary villagers fetch water from wells, visit markets and gossip about from house to house whenever they have nothing special to do. Young girls help their mothers in cleaning the house, grinding flour, and cooking the daily meals. In the northern tappas boys between the age of 5 and 12 years are often sent to primary schools. Children of Oraons, Parhaiyas, Kherwars and other aboriginal tribes spend their time chiefly in play and are generally growing up without education. Drinks.-Rice, marua or makai are boiled and spread out on a piece of matting to cool. It is then put into a cheri (earthen vessel) and some rano (fermenting powder), is mixed with it to assist fermentation. The mouth of the cheri is closed and the contents are allowed to rest for four days. On the fifth day the cheri is opened and cold water is poured in. The liquid called hairi is then drunk. If not finished the same day, it spoils. It is said to be slightly intoxicating. Narcotics.--Tobacco is powdered on the palm of the left hand. The powder is called surti and is mixed with lime and then chewed; lime is kept in a brass pot called chunauti. The people do not as a rule smoke tobacco and the number of them who indulge in opium and ganja is exceedingly small. Lime is obtained from the paneri, who supplies it for the whole year. At Dashara he visits the village and supplies ten biras or khilis of pan (betel leaf) to each family. They give him a soupli (bamboo tray) full of grain for this. The grain is generally makai or marua. Clothing.—Among Muhammadans men wear a mirjai or anga (coat), a mureta or murbanda (head covering), a dhoti of 44 yards of cloth and sometimes a kurta (coat). Two of each are worn during the year and the cost is about Rs. 5. Women wear a sari, the length of which is 7 yards, and a jhula (bodice). The cost of two of each of these during the year is Rs. 2-8. Children and infants in the lap sometimes wear a kurta ; but they usually go about naked up to the age of 3 or 4 years. Among Brahmans, Rajputs and Hindus generally a dhoti and chudder are worn by men and sari and jhula by women. Shoes are made by the Chamar. They are of three kinds, viz., (1) khura-jiba, the point of which turns upwards, (2) murla, having square points, and (3) nakdar. The ordinary kind— the khura-jiba and nakdar are worn by Ahirs, Kherwars, and Oraons, and the murla kind are worn by others Women wear kharpas, being a bit of leather of the size of the foot. It is supported by a string. Ornaments.-Among Kherwars, men wear anguti, (rings) of iron and silver, which are worn on forefinger or fifth finger of either hand; bera, (an iron bracelet) worn on left hand; kanausi, (ear-ring) worn on lobe of right ear; khosa, a brass hairpin worn on the head; baikhar, a silver armlet worn on right forearm; paonchi, a silver bracelet worn on right hand; kardhani, waist chain of silver; and bijai, a silver armlet. Women wear anguti, (rings) on all fingers except middle finger; kasauti, bell-metal bracelet worn on both hands ; tar, brass armlet worn above elbow on both forearms; chulra, glass armlets worn on both arms; churi, lac bracelet worn on both hands; poth, bead necklace ; hasuli, necklet of brass or silver; pairi, anklets of bell-metal, anguta, ring worn on great toe ; baturi, ring worn on second toe of each foot ; kunrur, leaf ear-ring worn on each ear; nathia, brass nose-ring ; khotila, nose- pin ; khelua, pin of brass or silver, worn on each ear; lasunia, brass wristlet worn on both hands; chota, brass bracelet worn on left hand; and piparpath, ear-ring of brass or silver worn on both ears. There is little difference between these ornaments and those which women of other castes wear throughout the district. Musical instruments—Oraons, Bhuinyas, Kherwars, in fact, the people throughout the district, are very fond of music, the most popular instrument among the aboriginal tribes being the mandar. The following is a list of the musical instruments found among the people:– NAME of INSTRUMENT. Nature. Cost. 1 2 3 Rs. A. P.

An account of the months will be found in the chapter on agriculture. Superstitions.—That the people are extremely superstitious goes without saying. A few ; their good and bad omens relating to days of the week and other matters are mentioned elow:— Sunday.—Paddy seedlings (bihan) are supposed to increase in growth on this day. No ploughing, transplantation, or sowing should be done. Cattle should rest. This rule is observed almost throughout the district. It had been the practice to break it towards Loharsi in tappa Pundag. When rainfall was short last year, and consequent scarcity was felt, the people, chiefly the headmen of villages in that locality, came to me while I was looking after relief works and observed that their troubles were due to the deity being displeased owing to their having done field work on Sunday. They alleged that they would never do so again, and through the baiga they endeavoured to propitiate the deity by making offerings of kids, roti, &c., at the village gaonhel (sylvan shrine). Blacksmiths and carpenters do no work on Sunday. It is said to be the best day for making a journey for the first time in any direction, Korwas abstain from eating salt and buttermilk on this day, as it is considered unfortunate to do so. Monday.—The best day for first sowings and weighment of grain; but no ploughing for the first time should be done. No journey should be made eastwards for the first time. The wise sayings for the day are — (1) “Som me kheti, Budh é ghar, Je ná jáne, - Seikar.” h *. º the field, Wednesday for the house. Whoever does not know this rule should follow it. (2) “San Sambáré purab jáé, Begunáe láth kháe.” (By going eastwards on Monday or Saturday you get into trouble without any fault.) Tuesday.—The best day for going southwards, and also for all field work. The saying for the day is— “Mangalà mukhi, Sáda sukhi.” (The best day for everything.) Wednesday.—The best day for building a new hut ; also for cooking food for the first time in a new house. No grain should be weighed on this day or brought home. First sowings should not be made on this day. No journeys should be made northwards. The proverbial saying for the day is— “Mangul o Budh, Uttar ke kálu, Dakhinjáe, To hoe nehálu.” (Tuesday and Wednesday are bad days for going northwards. Journeys southwards are attended with success.) Thursday–No journey for the first time should be made southwards; but journeys to the north may be made. A bad day for taking up paddy seedlings for the first time. The saying is :- “Bife káhe mor kon dos, Dakhin matjáo eko kos.” (Do not journey southwards on Thursday.) - Friday.-Sowings may be done. A good day for the agriculturist, Journeys to the west should not be made. The saying for the day is— “Sukh ke badhri, Sánicharé chái, Bhandár kahe, - Be barse nájáč.” (If the sky be cloudy on Friday, and dark on Saturday, the poet says that rain will certainly come.) + e e 2 CCXX - Saturday.—A day on which nothing important should be done or undertaken by the agriculturist, else trouble follows, Journeys to the west, however, may be made. Death in a family on a Saturday is always feared, hence the saying :- “Sani Mangar jo mara Uska sath jãe dusara.” (If anybody dies on a Saturday or Tuesday, another is sure to follow.) But superstition is not confined to days of the week only. When the wind blows from north-east, it is believed that rain will fall within an hour. This wind is called Häsakoni. The saying is— “Bahath häe babuá hasakoni, Palhari ke pāni piab choni.” (The hasákoni wind is blowing, I will soon drink water from the sky.) Water should not be drunk or food eaten at Godhāber (just before sunset) otherwise disease is sure to follow. If a child be born at Godhdher, it is believed that it will not live. A woman who is pregnant always avoids entering a field which is being harrowed. It is believed that if she does so, the child will be born an idiot. If there be any shoots in a cob of maize it is called banjori. No married woman among Kherwars and Bhuinas will eat it, as it is believed that she will give birth to twins. In some villages kalbudh (posts of stone or wood) are put up in conspicuous places alongside roads, in honour of deceased relatives. It is believed that if cattle rub them- selves against the kalbudh, the sins of the deceased are wiped out. In journeys along the district the traveller will often find heaps of stones called “Pathal- kudu'a,” on road sides and especially on ghats. The people believe that the deity of the forest resides in them. They add to the heap by putting a fresh stone each time they pass it, and thus the height of the heap goes on increasing. This is considered to please the deity. In some villages the baiga does puja at Pathalkudwa. Much superstition also prevails in respect to cattle. A few instances are given below. If a cow has a swelling on its body, and the hair on it becomes white, it is called phul- har. It is believed that other cattle will be destroyed by it, hence it is given away to a Brahman. If there be a circular mark (bhaonri) on the head of a bullock between its eyes, it is believed to be unlucky, and is therefore given away. A bullock with seven teeth is unlucky, hence the saying:— “Chau dár kahe awe jáe, Sath dar kahe mire kháe.” (A bullock with six teeth is good; but one with seven teeth causes death in the family.) Visitors to the district will often see short wooden posts along roadsides and other conspicu- ous places with earthen figures representing horses lying near them. These are put up by Ahirs. At the beginning of the year Ahirs make a vow that, if cattle multiply and there be no misfortune, an offering of a horse will be made to the deity. At the end of the year, if no trouble has occurred, a post is erected and offering of ghi, dahi and milk are made to the deity. An earthen horse, which may be obtained from the kumhar for a few pice, is placed at base of the post in fulfilment of the vow. The traveller will see similar figures, and also those of elephants at every village gaonhel (sylvan shrine). These also are offerings to the deity and the outcome of vows fulfilled after seasons of prosperity, and also after recovery from sickness and other troubles. Sacred groves.--These are to be found in most villages, especially in the southern tappas where the groves often comprise sal trees of considerable girth. The superstition about them is that they mark the spot where the deity remains. The place is called the gaonhel, and only the baiga is permitted to do puja and make offerings there for propitiation of the deity. Festivals, Nawa.-The harvest festival. When paddy is ready for the sickle, five mutas or arpas (sheaves) are cut by the head of the family and taken home. This is called taking alo. The paddy is husked and parched in a new earthen handy, and then pounded in the okhar. The pounded paddy is chura. After this the head of the family, having had a bath, takes some sal leaves, the number being according to the number of deceased relatives of the family, and puts a little chura on each of them. These leaves are placed in a circle on a part of the floor of the hut, which had been previously cleaned and plastered over with cowdung. A vessel containing fire is kept within the circle formed by the leaves. Some ghi is burnt on the fire. This is called doing hoom. Water is then sprinkled over each of the leaves containing chura. After this the chura is collected and distributed among all the members of the house, and is eaten there by them. This completes the ceremony. New rice is then cooked and friends are invited and fed. This being done, reaping operations begin. This ceremony is compulsory, and is performed with respect to all crops, even to cucumbers and vegetables that are grown on bari lands. Soharai–On the evening of 17th Kartik small lights are lit in the house and about the courtyard. On the following morning cattle are brought in from the field and ccxxi. º shut up in the gohar (cow-shed). Rice beer, called hajiria, is made and given to each animal in a leaf cup (dona), one dona to each animal. After this, oil of mahua seed is rubbed on their horns, and the cattle are then released and sent to a field, in which a pig with its hind- legs tied is held by a long rope by the giars or cowherds. The cattle being driven towards the º attack and gore it to death. The giars take the dead pig and eat it. This ceremony is performed to satisfy the deity. Phagua.-Is observed by Oraons, Kherwars and all aboriginal tribes. On 1st Phalgun a pig is killed and cooked. Some meat taken from the head of the animal is put on five leaf plates in the names of the deceased members of the family. A roti (flour cake) is also put on them, and water is then sprinkled over the whole, the names of the deceased being mentioned all the while. After this the rice and meat are gathered from the plates and given to the members of the family and eaten by them. On the completion of this ceremony friends are invited and fed, and there is eating and drinking all night. Arwa.—This festival is observed by Brijias, and is held in Pous. Some urid dal and arua rice are put one over the other in five places on the bare ground in the name of the deceased members of the family. A black kid is then brought and held before the five offerings and made to eat some of the dat and rice. As soon as this is done the animal's head is chopped off on the spot. The head is kept on the floor with the rice and dal round it, and water is sprinkled over it. The eldest male member of the house then salutes it by bowing before it. All this takes place in the compartment of the hut adjoining the one where meals are prepared. After this the kid's head is cut up and cooked. As soon as ready, the meat is brought on five donas (cups made with leaves) with five other donas containing khetehri (rice and dal boiled together). Five leaf plates are then made and placed on the floor on the spot where the kid had been killed, and a portion of the meat and khetchri is put on each of the plates as an offering to the deceased members of the family whose names are repeated all the while. After this the meat and khetchri are collected from the plates and distributed among members of the family who are seated there, and is eaten by them. When this is done, friends are invited and informed that dal has been eaten for the first time in the season, and there is then feasting and drinking for the remainder of the day. Karma.-In this festival, which is observed by all aboriginal tribes of the district except Bhuihers, a branch of the Karam tree is planted in the angina (courtyard) of every homestead, and offerings of roti and cucumber are made to it by women of the house. In the evening and all through the night there is dancing and singing among the girls and boys, and much feasting and drinking goes on. In the morning the Karam branch is sprinkled with dahi and thrown into the nearest river. Sravan puja'-A pot of milk is taken on top of a hill in village Barwadih in tappa Durjag, and an offering is made to the deity Duar Pahar. A stone on the hill is worshipped. Sindur (vermillion) is rubbed on it. After this the milk is poured over the stone by the baiga. If the milk flows on to any length, it is believed that there will be good rain. If not, and the ground absorbs the milk, it is understood that rainfall will be short. Parhaiyas alone observe this puja. In Jitia women bring roots of berni grass, together with a branch of Doomur tree, and plant them in the courtyard. The okhar is placed alongside, and offerings of dahi, etc., are made to it. All, however, do not perform this puja, as the Brahman has to be consulted, and his sanction obtained. He charges one rupee and a dhoti for this. After the branch is planted there is feasting and dancing all night. This is purely a Parhaiya puja. In the following pages I have ventured to furnish detailed information regarding Chero, Kherwar, Parhaiya, Brijia, Korwa, Kissan, Agaria, Dhanuk, Bhuiher, Oraon, and Koiri castes, as also their habits and customs. The information supplied was collected by me while the set- tlement was proceeding, and I give it here, because it is not to be found in any other work that I am aware of, and for no other reason. Moreover, in a district like Palamau it may help the Deputy Commissioner to know something of the inner life of the people under his charge. I trust that my action may be approved by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor. CHEROS. The Cheros of Palamau are divided into two sub-castes, Bara-hazar or Barahajaria and Tere-hajar or Birbandhia, and are found chiefly in the hilly cultivated northern tappas of Kote, Pundag and Imli. They are rare in the southern part of the district. The number of holdings in possession of these people in the villages to which this settlement relates is 455, and the area covered by them is 3,203:42 acres. The rent payable for this land is Rs. 2,428. The two sub-castes are sub-divided into seven clans, having the distinguishing titles of (1) Mowar, (2) Kuánr, (3) Sanwat, (4) Rautia, (5) Manjhi, (6) Sohanait, and (7) Mahto. Among the Mowars and Kuánrs there is (1) a Barka Mowar and a Chotka Mowar and (2) a Barka Kuánr and a Chotka Kuánr. The Chotka Kuánrs are alleged to have come to Palamau from Buxar in Shahabad with the ancestors of the late Kuánr Bhikari Singh of Manka. The legend regarding the creation of the Birbandhia Cheros is this: “A wealthy Chero who had resided in Birbandhia had invited his friends, who were all Cheros, to a feast. They came and found him with kharams (wooden sandals) on his feet, while he was pouring ghi into dal that was intended for them. This so irritated them that they not only abused him and left his house, but also outcasted him. Since then there have been two castes, the followers of the outcasted Chero being the present Birbandhia Cheros, º' ccxxii foll Of the history of the Cheros, Colonel Dalton in his “Ethnology of Bengal,” writes as O11OWS :- - “The Cheros were expelled from Shahabad, some say by the Savars or Suars; some say by a tribe called Hariha. The date of their expulsion is conjectured to have been between the fifth and sixth centuries of the Christian era. Both Cheros and Savars were considered by the Brahmans of Shahabad as impure or Malechhas; but the Harihas are reported good Kshatriyas.” “The overthrow of the Cheros in Mithila and Magadha seems to have been complete. Once lords of the Gangetic provinces, they are now found in Shahabad and other Bihar districts, only holding the meanest offices or concealing themselves in the woods skirting the hills occupied by their cousins, the Kherwar; but in Palamau they retained, till a recent period, the position they had lost elsewhere. A Chero's family maintained almost an independent rule in that pargana till the accession of the British Government; they even attempted to hold their castles and strong i. against that power, but were speedily subju- gated, forced to pay revenue, and submit to the laws. They were, however, allowed to retain their estates; and though the rights of the last Raja of the race were purchased by the Government in 1813, in consequence of his falling into arrears, the collateral branches of the family have extensive estates in Palamau still. According to their own traditions (they have no trustworthy annals) they have not been many generations in Palamau. They invaded that country from Rohtas, and with the aid of Rajput Chiefs, the ancestors of the Thakurais of Ranka and Chainpur, drove out and supplanted a Rajput Raja of the Raksel family, who retreated into Sarguja, and established himself there. It is said that the Palamau population then consisted of Kherwars, Gonds, Mars, Korwas, Parhiyas, and Kissans. Of these, the Kherwars were the people of most consideration; the Cheros, conciliated them and allowed them to remain in peaceful possession of the hill tracts bordering on Sarguja. All the Cheros of note who assisted in the expedition obtained military service grants of land, which they still retain. It is popularly asserted that at the commencement of the Chero rule in Palamau they numbered twelve thousand families and the Kherwar eighteen thousand, and if an individual of one or the other is asked to what tribe he belongs, he will say, not that he is a Chero or a Kherwar, but that he belongs to the twelve thousand or to the eighteen thousand, as the case may be.” Colonel Dalton says:—“The Palamau Cheros now live strictly as Rajputs, and wear the paita or caste thread.” This, however, is not correct. Some Cheros wear fineo or the sacred thread; but many do not do so, in fact, there are said to be more Cheros in Palamau without the thread than with it. Many of those who do not wear it, eat fowls, pork, eggs and drink liquor; this, however, is not done openly, the reason being, as some of the leading Cheros explained to me, that if they make it public, Brahmans who now eat pakki and drink water that is given by them, would cease to do so. The Tere-hajar Cheros will eat both pakki and kachi from the Bara-hajar Cheros; the latter will only eat pakki and drink water from the hands of the former, but will not eat rice cooked by them. Again, Colonel Dalton says that “intermarriages between Chero and Kherwar families have taken place;” but from enquiry in the district, I find that such marriages have never taken place in Palamau. The present direct descendant of the Raja of the Cheros is Rai Kissen Bux, Rai Bahadur of Nawa Jaipur, who has married into Rajput families, owing to which, it is said, that Cheros who wear the sacred thread do not eat with him, unless food is cooked separately for them by a Brahman. Of the Chero headmen whom I questioned, some said that their ancestors came from Morang, while others alleged that they came from Kumaon. The written story regarding his family given to me by Rai Kissen Bux, Rai Bahadur, is as follows:– “The origin of the family is traced from Raja Keso Narain Singh, a Boondya Rajput, who was Raja of Ghurgoomti in Bundelkund. His daughter was married to one Chawan Muni, after whom they are called the Chawanbansi, or children of the Moon. Their descendants reigned at Kumaon for five gener- ations, Foolchand Rai, one of the family, conquered Bhojpur, where they continued for the next four gener- ations, until Raja Shahbul Rai conquered the Raja of Champaran and settled there. But the latter, with the aid of the Emperor of Delhi, took Shahbul Rai prisoner and regained his territory. Shahbul Rai's son, Bhagwant Rai, fled from Champaran and found shelter with Raja Deo Sahi of Dhawadand. From here Bhagwant Rai came to Palamau, accompanied by Puran Mul, a younger son of Raja Deosahi, and obtained service under Manu Singh the then Rakseyi Raja of Palamau, to whom he had brought letters of introduc- tion from Raja Deo Sahai. In the following year during the absence of Raja Manu Singh at Sarguja, Bhagwant Rai treacherously murdered his family and seizing the guddee, proclaimed himself as the first Chero Raja of Palamau. The family has been in the district for over 200 years.” Marriage.-Among Cheros the Kuánr, Sanwats, and Mowars may marry among them- selves; but they should not marry those having the titles of Mahto, Sohanait, Manjhi, and Rautia, nor can these, owing to the fewness of their number, marry among themselves. Infant marriages are not in vogue. The girl and boy are usually of the age of 10 or 12 years. Pu- berty begins at 12 years. The marriage ceremony is in the usual Hindu form. The couple do bhanwar, by walking around the altar, which is set up in the centre of the marwa or marriage canopy, built of bamboos in the courtyard. The altar consists of two kalsas (earthen vessels) that are placed there in the name of the bride and bridegroom. They are filled with water and have some dubh grass, kaseli (betel nut) and a pice placed in each of them. Over the kaisas there are two covers (dhaknas) in which cotton seed (banour) and urid dal are kept with some mustard oil. There are two wicks in each cover and the four ends of the wicks are lit while the marriage ceremony is proceeding. In doing bhanwar the bride and bridegroom (the latter being behind the former, with his left hand on her left shoulder and his right hand holding her right wrist) walk round the altar five times scattering parched rice (lawa) before themselves all the while. After each turn the bridegroom stoops and touches the right toe of the bride, After this they return to their seats and are there surrounded by a sheet of new cloth. The sindur banaan ceremony is then performed by the bridegroom, who marks the bride's forehead five times with sindur. This is followed by the gaon ceremony. The napit makes a slight gash below the mail of the right hand little fingers of the couple and the blood that is drawn is wiped by him with two pieces of mahawar (cot- ton dyed with lac). The bride and bridegroom are then made to stand and their ccxxiii seats of leaf plates are changed, the bride taking the bridegroom's and he her's. The napit then puts the mahawar containing the bridegroom's blood in the bride's right hand, and her mahawar with her blood in it in the bridegroom's right hand. Each then touches the other's throat (kant) with the mahawar. This is the binding part of the ceremony and is called sine-jora. After this the napit takes two mango leaves from the bride's patmaur (crown), rolls them and with a cord ties one on the left wrist of the bride and the other on the left wrist of the bridegroom, this is called kakna bandan. The bridegroom’s elder brother then receives some silver ornaments together with a sari from his father and after touching the altar where a lump of earth and one of cowdung, representing Gour and Ganesh, are kept, laces them in the hands of the bride and thereafter takes off her patmaur of mango leaves. e and other relatives and friends then throw achat (urua rice) over the couplo and the pro- ceedings end by their retiring to their own quarters. Here the bridegroom promises to give his bride some present, after which she takes the maur off his head. The maur is placed by the bridegroom’s brother or father during Assar on the nearest bamboo bush, the belief being that the bridegroom's bans (children) will increase and multiply as the bamboo does. On the fourth day of the marriage called chautai, the bride and bridegroom, and the latter's mother and other relatives go to the nearest river for a bath. The kalsa of the bridegroom is taken there and the water in it is poured by the bride over her mother-in-law's head; all then have a bath in the river and return home. Here the bride and bridegroom are seated within a chowka which the napit makes. The bride then takes off the bridegroom's kakna, and he removes of her kakna. This closes the ceremony. The two kalsas are carefully stored for one year and then forgotten. The marriage is consummated on the wedding day. A Chero may re-marry (1) on the decease of his wife or (2) if his wife be childless. If she has children, he cannot re-marry. Widows are allowed to re-marry. A widow may marry her deceased husband's younger brother. Such marriages take place by the sagai form, in order to preserve the honour of the family. Cheros say that a young widow may be persuaded into joining a lower caste, hence marriage with her husband's brother is desirable. They are, however not forced in the matter, but may do as they like. A man may marry two sisters, provided the elder one is married first. A widow having children, has not been known to re-marry. If a woman be found having committed adultery, she is turned out of the house without any ceremony, and thus divorced by her husband. The man with whom she goes wrong, marries her by the sagai form. Neither of them is outcasted. No other form of divorce is recognized. Birth.-At child-birth a woman is attended by her mother-in-law if she be available, and also by the chamain She takes a bath on the sixth day, and on the twentieth day, or sooner, if able, again bathes, and wears clean clothes. She draws water from the village well after marking it five times with sindur, and after this she is considered to be clean, and may attend to the duties in the house. Barrenness is not common in Chero women. When a woman is barren, she is looked down on. The saying is “she is banj (barren), and not worth looking at.” Nevertheless, she is well treated by her husband. Twins occasionally occur, and are considered to be a sign of good fortune among Cheros. Births sometimes occur out of wedlock. If the woman in presence of a panchayat declares that the father of the child is so and so, the man named is obliged to marry her by the sagai form, and both are permitted to remain in the caste. If the woman fails to mention the father's name, she is outcasted, and nobody will eat with her. Children are named as soon as means are available for paying the Brahman. He is told the date and hour of birth, and he gives the name. If the Brahman is not called, the child, if a boy, is named by the father, and a girl is named by the mother. Funerals.-The dead are burnt in the usual manner. The ashes are generally covered over and allowed to remain. Some Cheros, however, take five bones, viz., two from the feet, two from the hands, and one from the ribs, from the ashes of the pile, and place them in a new earthen pot, which is buried in the ground near a pipul tree. The nearest male relative of deceased pours water on the ground over the pot for ten days, and after this the usual ceremony of feeding Brahmans and others is performed. Tatooing —All Chero women are tattooed. Tattooing is confined to women, and is made by the malarin, who is paid from two to four annas. The operation being exceedingly painful, the tattooing is not completed the first year, but is done gradually. Tattooing is done with needles, the pigment employed being kajal (antimony), mixed with woman's milk. Tattooing commences inside the forearms, and then goes on to the neck and chest, the design being according to fancy of the malarin doing it, The marks on the chest are in imitation of necklaces, and those on the ankles and arms resemble anklets and armlets. IKHERWARS. There are 1,919 Kherwar raiyats in the Government villages to which this report relates, and the area of land held by them is 11,205:09 acres. They are a Dravidian tribe, and their legend is that they came to Palamau originally from Kheri-Jhar, whence the name Kherwar. Some, however, allege that they came from Ramghar, but none are able to give even an approximate date as to their emigration, and nothing is known by them as to their past history. In Palamau, they are found chiefly in the southern tappas. They are a dark- skinned, hardy people, but extremely lazy. Although their pursuits are purely agricultural, they are more fond of remaining at home and of an idle life, than of working in the fields and improving their lands. Kherwars of Palamau are divided into six clans or sub-castes, viz.: (1) Surujbansi, (2) Dualbandi, (3) Patbandi, (4) Kheri, (5) Bhogti or Gounju, and (6) Manjhia. All count ccxxiv. themselves as among the eighteen thousand or atáre hajar Kherwars. Some Kherwars wear jined or the sacred thread. These are under vow not to (1) marry by sagai form, (2) not to eat pig, (3) not to eat fowl, and (4) not to drink. A man may not eat or marry save in his own sept. Food.-Kherwars eat goat's meat, pig, fowls, eggs, hare, peacock, doves, partridge, fish and all edible roots. They do not eat beef or sheep. Their principal food in Palamau is makai, ma"ua, and mahua. Given these three articles, they want nothing more, and do not depend on rice. Marriage.—Infant marriages are not practised. The bridegroom must be of the age of 12 or 14 years and able to plough, and the girl should be of the same age. The marriage proceedings are as follows:— The boy's father sends two friends (aguas) to the parents of the girl to ascertain whether they would be willing to give their daughter or not. The reply is not given until the lapse of a night. If during the night that the aguas are at the house, the barking of a deer or the cry of a phekar or phiaou (jackal) is heard, the omen is bad and the marriage cannot take place. If the roar of a tiger be heard, the omen is considered very good, and the lagun bandan is completed by the girl’s father giving his consent. Thereafter he is invited to the boy's house. He goes there accompanied by a few friends within ten days, and the bar or bridegroom is shown to him. If he is satisfied, he gives expression to this by presenting the bar with some money, the amount of which depends on his means This is called the mooh- dekhai ceremony. After this a goat and food consisting of rice are brought and presented to the bride's father, and he is feasted, and then returns home. Within ten days the gatbandhi or paobandhi or betrothal ceremony takes place. The bridegroom's father and a few friends go to the bride's house. The napit and Brahman are present there. The friends and relatives assemble in the courtyard, which had been previously well plastered with cowdung, and the bride is brought out, and made to sit here on a plate called pathal made of sál leaves sewn together. The bridegroom's father puts Rs. 7 in her hands as dali in token of his approval of her. The bride's father and the bridegroom's father sit facing each other on separate pathals. Then the Brahman takes paddy, and after touching the bride with it places it in the hands of her father. In the same way he puts paddy into the hands of the bridegroom's father. The two then cross hands, and thus swearing to be friends for ever rise and johar (embrace) each other. This is the gatbandhi ceremony, and binds both the bride and her father. After this the Brahman fixes, a day for the lagan. On the date so fixed a barat (party) consisting of the bridegroom and his relatives and friends go to the girl's house. The bridegroom is carried there on a ſahaj, or if one is not available, in a palky. A Jahaj is a platform on which there is a chair or stool on which the bridegroom is seated under a canopy over which a yak's tail is tied. A bit of mango leaf called kakna is tied to the boy's right hand with a piece of cord. On the approach of the bridegroom's barat the girl's people go out with music and meet them. This is the mer-gheral. On arrival at the bride's house the bridegroom has to do the doar puja ceremony. He is seated at the entrance to the house, and the Brahman performs the puja. A brass cup containing pan leaf, kuss grass, betelnut (kaseli), arua rice, sindur, gur, til and jao is placed in front of the bridegroom. The Brahman repeats mantras, and does, hoom by. pouring ghi and dhuán (gum of sál trees) over some fire. After this the bridegroom distributes the pan among the guests. He then proceeds to the jhala (shed) prepared for him. On the following morning he is called by the napit to the marriage ceremony, which takes place in the angina (courtyard) of the house under a marar (canopy) built of posts with bamboo twigs and leaves. In the centre of this shed an altar of two katsis (earthen vessels) alongside a plough, is erected. The bridegroom is seated in a pathal (leaf plate) in front of the altar. The bride's father sits to the right of the bridegroom on another pathal. The bride is seated on her father's right thigh with a bit of mahua leaf tied to her left wrist by the napit. A dona (cup) made from sál leaves and containing some kuss grass and mango leaf, together with ground rice, called (arpan achat) is placed by the Brahman in the right hand of the bride- groom, who then puts, it in the bride's hand. She makes it over to her father, who then touches her kalsa with it and delivers it to the bridegroom's father, who drops the contents into the bridegroom's kala. This is done five times in token of the giving over of the bride to the bridegroom. The bride is then seated on a pathal to the right of the bridegroom. The napit now distributes achat (arua rice) from the dona among the relatives on both sides and then, while the Brahman is repeating mantras, scatters some of the achat over the young couple. After this some lava (parched rice) which is given by both parties is placed in a clean cloth, which is held by the bride's brother. The bride then stands with the bridegroom behind her and his hands resting on her shoulders. The bride holds a soupli (bamboo tray) in her right hand while the bridegroom holds her wrist from behind. Her brother puts lava on the soupli and the couple jointly scatter it on the ground, while they walk five times round the altar. This is doing bhanwar. After this both are re-seated on their pathals. A sindhora (brass pot) containing sinaur as also some san fibre and a rupee are then placed in the bride's left hand and the fathers and elder male relatives on both sides hold a sheet round the couple and hide them from view. The bridegroom then takes five pinches of vermillion one after the other and applies it to the forehead of the bride. This is the sindur bandhan. After this the napit makes a slight cut with his razor on the left hand little finger of the bride and on the right hand little finger of the bridegroom and blood is drawn. This blood is wiped with a leaf of mahawar (cotton dyed with lac) which is then applied to the right sides of their necks by the bride to the bridegroom's neck and by him to CCXXV º y her's. This is called the senai jora ceremony and binds the two. If senai yora is not done, the bridegroom may afterwards claim to abandon the woman. After this the gaona ceremony is performed. The bride and bridegroom change pathals and the bridegroom's father brings a silver hasuli, some achat (arua rice), gur, a sari called pitamari and a bit of silk thread, together with a piece of silver tied to them called dholma, and after touching the bridegroom's Kalsa, places them before the bride. The bridegroom's elder brother then takes each of these presents and puts them one by one, in the bride's hands which remain open to receive them. He then takes achat and scatters it over the couple. The bride's elder brother's wife (Bhouji) then applies sindur on her from the bridge of her nose across her forehead and up to centre of her head. Two baskets are then brought and the bride and bridegroom step on one and then on the other and so enter a hut, the walls of which are painted with circles, called kohobar. These are made to indicate that it is the hut of the young couple. While in the hut they eat some dahi out of a plate, the bridegroom first and then the bride. This is called jhuta-khabar ceremony. The pair then walk out together and salute the guests and the bride is presented by them with gifts of money. This completes the gor lagai ceremony. Feasting follows and the young couple then proceed to the bridegroom’s house. On arrival there the bridegroom's mother welcomes them by singing and throwing cowdung over and behind them. This is parchan or bringing the girl within the household. After this they step on baskets to their own kohobar; but at the entrance they are stopped by the bridegroom's sister, to whom a present of money or any other article has to be made, after which she allow them to pass in. The marriage is consummated on the same day. Puberty begins at 12 years. A custom prevails among Kherwars of Palamau of marrying the blind with the blind, or the deaf with the dumb. I have seen husbands and wives who had been born blind. In the case of a dumb woman whom I saw in a village near Tarhassi in tappa Pundag and whose husband had been deaf the issue, being two boys, were shown to me. Both were born helpless cripples. - - A widow may re-marry by the sagai form. About two maunds of rice, as also a goat and a sari have to be given for her. If a man and wife fail to agree, they may leave each other by mutual consent. There is no other form of divorce. If a woman is childless, her younger sister may marry her husband. This is called rijbia. A man may marry as many wives as he is able to support. Births.-At childbirth a woman is attended by a Chamain, and the proceedings and ceremonies are the same as those of other Hindu castes. The woman is unclean and unable to attend to cooking of meals for twenty days. The child, if a boy, is named by the father, . a girl, by the mother. A woman is said to generally have her first child at the age of 20 years. Funerals.-Infants of one to three years are buried. Adults are burnt; the proceedings are the same as at all Hindu funerals. After the burning five bones of the deceased are eollected and placed in an earthen pot which is buried under a pipul tree. The person who had put fire to the mouth of the deceased is called āgdeo4. For ten days he places some rice, milk, and a little water in an earthen cup (dona), together with a lighted chirag on the spot where the bones are buried. On the lapse of ten days the Kataha or Maha Brahman goes to the bank of the nearest river, and after placing some milk, jao, til, gur and arua rice in ten leaf plates performs puja for satisfying the spirit of the deceased. After this relatives and friends are feasted. Memorial structures.—If the deceased be a mahio (headman) of the village a kalbud is put up in his honour alongside the principal road of the village. The kalbud may be of stone or wood. A face is cut on it and the name of the deceased, as also the date and year of his death. - Inheritance.—Property descends to the sons. If there be two wives, their sons get the property in equal shares. If there be only daughters, the widow retains the property so long as she continues in the house. Should she re-marry the property goes to the nearest male relative, but a portion is given to the daughters. Religion.—The deities of the Kherwars are (1) Muchukrani or as she is also called Durjagin or Pachiari. She is believed to be wife of the Raksel that reigned in Palamau before the Cheros came to the district. Raksel is said to have resided on a hill in mauza Barwadih, tappa Durjag, where the ruins of his palace still exist. A she-goat (panti) is killed as an offering to this deity; (2) Duarpár who is supposed to govern the village. He is appeased with the killing of a pig; (3) Dharti, to whom a pig has also to be offered. No cultivation can be done until he is appeased. He is believed to be ruler of the earth; and (4) Debi, Chandi, Darha and Dahkin, all of whom have to be propitiated with offerings of either fowls, goats or pigs. Customs as to salutation are curious among Kherwars. Friends and relations meeting after long absence, salute each other in three separate motions, viz., (1) ankwar, which is joining hands before each other, (2) johar, which is embracing each other, and (3) kusal mangal, which is asking good wishes or blessings of each other. When a Kherwar meets an acquaintance, he simply bows and touches his right leg. There is no greeting in the morning between members of a family nor does the husband greet his wife on return from a journey. At meals the husband eats before his wife; wives are treated kindly and many husbands consult their wives in times of danger or difficulty. The aged are tenderly treated and always have their meals before other members of the family. Guests are served before all others. * f f ccxxvi PARHAIYAS. Parhaiyas are a Dravidian tribe found, I believe, only in Palamau. According to their own tradition, they have all along been in Palamau and they allege that originally they were the duar pujaris or priests of the Maharajas of the district. They are found chiefly in the southern tappas, seldom towards the north of Daltonganj. They are a simple people, hard-working and laborious, and are good cultivators. In height they are generally about 5 feet 3 inches. They have broad, flat faces with slightly oblique eyes and their colour is dark copper. In my dealings with them, I found them honest and truthful and they are frank to a degree. Food—All edible jungle products are eaten and no one knows better than the Parhaiya and Brijia where to obtain them. Fish of all kinds, young pig and castrated pig called meda, fowl, goat's meat, deer, hare, doves, partridge, peacock, and quails are eaten. They abstain from eating beef and mutton. Marrow is much relished, also curd and buttermilk. Cow's milk is drunk. Food is cooked by the wife. If there be a daughter, she helps the mother. Meals are eaten on plates made of leaves of the palas, sakua, mahulan, korea or dorang tree. The wife helps the food. If there be aged parents in the homestead they have their meals before the rest of the family. The aged are much respected. The husband takes his food next and, if there be children, they eat with him in the dhawa or verandah of the house. The wife eats last of all in the room where she had cooked the food. Two good meals are taken daily. In the morning, after ploughing is finished, men take some refreshment in the shape of about quarter seer of mahºma. This is called lookma. At noon kalewa consisting of about a seer of suthu, together with boiled vegetable and chilly, are eaten. If rice be available it is eaten, but is not depended on. Cereals together with roots, vegetables, sags or meat are preferred and much relished. The principal meal is taken at noon. The next meal, biari, is eaten after sunset and is never a heavy one. If mustard oil be in the house food is cooked in it, otherwise oil of mahua seed is used. Fire is made by rubbing a piece of dry bamboo smartly against another. The sparks caused by the friction are directed to a piece of cloth which burns soon and is used for lighting fuel in the oven. Marriage ceremonies.—Two of the headmen of the village called aguan are sent to the father of the girl to negotiate for her. If her parents be agreeable, Rs. 5 or Rs. 7 are paid to them as déli by the aguan, who are relatives of the young man. This binds the girl’s parents from disposing of her elsewhere. About eight days after this the girl’s father together with a few male relatives visit the young man. If he be approved, the adli money is retained, if not, the arrangements are broken off. If no objection is made, the Brahman is consulted and he fixes an auspicious day for the marriage. He receives a rupee for doing this. On the day fixed the aguan and a few of the bridegroom's friends go with a dooly to the bride's house. Here they present her mother with a sari and sweetmeats. They also make over to the bride a new sari for herself. On the following morning she wears this and is conveyed in the dooly to the bridegroom's house, Her parents follow in the evening. A marwa (wedding shed) is erected in the courtyard of the house and is covered with bamboo, twigs and leaves. A plough, yolk, with pole, &c., complete is fixed in the ground in the centre of the space occupied by the marwa and two kalsis (earthen jars) filled with water are placed opposite it in the names of the bride and bridegroom. A post made from a branch of the sida tree, covered over with small pieces of rag coloured yellow with turmeric, is fixed in the ground in front of the bridegroom's hut. This is called kaliani. The fathers of the couple then sit together in front of the kaliani and the Brahman pours ghi into an earthen vessel which is kept in front of the kaliani and in which a lighted wick is burning. This completes the ghue-dhari ceremony. While the ghi is ablaze the parents salute each other. After this the napit takes some flour of arua rice called aipan and makes a square on the ground to the east of the marwa. Two leaf plates called pathal, are placed within the square and the bride and bridegroom are seated thereon, opposite each other, and in front of the kalsis, the bride looking to the west and the bridegroom to the east. Here they hold up their hands palm upwards, and the napit puts rice called achat therein. This is done five times and each time the rice is thrown on the ground over two lumps of earth representing Gour and Ganesh which are kept by the Brahman in front of the couple. Some dahi together with a little aipan are also kept there as an offering to the deity. After this the fathers of the bride and bridegroom take some turmeric and with it mark the young couple in places from feet to head. A lohra (pestle) is then held by five headmen (being relatives of the parties) together, turmeric is applied to it and after this the head, shoulders, body, and feet of the bridegroom and bride, respectively, are touched with it. Some women then dig a hole in the ground in the courtyard. A yoke of a plough is placed over the hole and the bridegroom is seated thereon. Women being his near relatives, then take the kals; which had been kept in the marwa in his name and pour some of the water in it over him. After this bath he is wiped and re-seated in the marwa. A similar operation is performed on the bride. The fathers of the parties then exchange cloths with each other. Each puts his cloth over the other's shoulder. They then take two peacock feathers from the maur or crown of the bridegroom, put them into dahi and mark each other five times on the forehead and chest with them. After this they salute each other. This is done to establish samdi, or friendship that should never be broken. The bride's father then takes her on his right thigh and while she is ccxxvii º seated there opposite the bridegroom, the Brahman with some kuss grass in his hands sits to the right of the bride and repeats prayers. A cup made from leaves of the sal tree is placed in the right hand of the bride's father. The Brahman fills it with water. The bride's kalsi is then touched with the cup which is then put in the right hand of the bridegroom, who hands it to his father. The water in the cup is poured by him into the kalsi of the bridegroom. This is done five times and is called karmat. After this the bridegroom’s father takes sindur and marks his son's kalsi five times. The napit then takes some parched rice and walks round the bride and bridegroom five times, scattering it in front of them all the while. After each round the bridegroom has to salute the bride by touching her foot over the right big toe with his right hand. After this a few of the elder male members of the family hold a sheet round the young couple and the bridegroom then marks the bride on her forehead with sindur (vermillion). This is the binding part of the ceremony. The nearest female relative of the bride thereafter marks her nose and head with sindur to indicate that she is a married woman. And while this is being done the Brahman and napit receive their neg (fees or presents) according to the circumstances of the parties. The napit scatters rice over the bride and bridegroom. He also performs the gaong ceremony by colouring the nails of the bride's fingers with mahawar (cotton dyed with lac). This entitles her to return home. After this the bride and bride- groom rise and two baskets are placed on the ground by the napit. The young couple walk on this, one behind the other, with an end of the bride's sari knotted to an end of the bridegroom’s dhoti. This is called the gat-bandhan. They proceed to their hut stepping on the baskets, but are stopped at the door by the bridegroom's sister, who demands a present. This being promised, she allows them to enter the hut, the door of which is then closed by some relative. Here the couple untie the knot of their garments and also eat some dahi together out of the same plate. The bride also takes off the bridegroom’s maur (crown) and he removes her patmaur (head-dress). The marriage is consummated the same day. Two days after this the maur and patmaur are made over to the baija (village priest) who places them at the gaonhel (sylvan shrine). He is paid two annas for doing this. The bride and bridegroom accompany the baiga and salute the gaonhel by bowing before it. After this they have a bath and put on clean garments and then salute the household gods, viz., Chandi, Duarpar and Baghout. Chandi, if offended, is supposed to cause sickness and death. Duarpar, if displeased, causes sickness; but kills nobody. Baghout is believed to cause death from attack of a tiger when he is dissatisfied. Chandi is supposed to remain at the entrance to every hut. Duarpar is said to reside within the hut and Baghout is said to also move about there. After this the bride returns to her parents and continues with them for a year during which she is not visited by her husband. In Dashara or Fagua she returns again to her husband and stays with him. Marriage takes place between the age of 12 and 14 years. Puberty is said to begin at 14 years and the first child is said to be generally born , within two years. A man may marry two or more wives if he is able to support them; but polygamy is permitted only when the first wife is childless. A man may marry two sisters provided the elder one becomes his wife first. The first wife is called barki, the second is called chotki. Divorce.—If the husband and wife fail to agree, they may separate by mutual consent. In such cases both parties may re-marry. If the woman re-marries, it is by the saga: form and the man who takes her pays Re. 1-4 to her parents. Such a woman is precluded from residing in the apartment in which the deota (deity) is believed to remain. She is provided with separate quarters; and owing to this, divorces are uncommon. Widows re-marry by the sagai form. The price of a widow is Re. 1-4 and is paid to her parents. Births.-At childbirth a chamain attends the woman. The chamain remains with the patient ten days. Women are said to rarely give birth to twins. A woman is unclean for six days. On the lapse of this period, the chatti is performed. The napit pares the woman's nails; he also colours the nails of her feet red with mahawar (cotton dyed with lac). The chamain bathes the woman and she is clothed with new garments; but for 15 days no food cooked by her is eaten by her husband. The child is named by the Brahman who is paid for this from five pice to Re. 1-4. Habitations.—The Brahman is consulted and an auspicious day is fixed by him for build- ing the hut. If there be only one hut, the door should always face to the east. The hut should not be less than 6 cubits broad and 12 cubits long. The roof is thatched with straw. Medicines.—In sickness, medicines are found in the jungles. In fever, a root called satour is crushed, and mixed with water which is then drunk. The bark of the karam (Adina cordifolia) tree is also crushed and mixed with water, which is drunk after being strained. In high fever the root of the mowan tree is crushed, mixed with water, which is strained and drunk. The fruit of the mowan tree is crushed and mixed with water. This roduces a froth, which is rubbed over the body, and is said to reduce the temperature. }. colic, the old stem of a cob of maize is burnt, pounded and mixed with black salt and rock salt. A pill is made of this and swallowed. “When the stomach is heated” the bark of the baher tree is crushed and mixed with water, which is strained and drunk. Barley, turmeric, and gur are ground and mixed with water and drunk for the same complaint. In cough, the juice of the sale tree is drunk. In sorethroat the harre (Terminalia chebula) fruit is burnt, ground, and eaten. In diarrhoea the gum of the sale tree is powdered, mixed with fresh dahi, and drunk. In cholera the seed of an old cucumber is ground and given to the patient. In headache the fruit of the bhela (Semecarpus Anacardium) tree is cut, and the juice is applied * ff 2 ccxxviii to the forehead. The blisters caused thereby, are said to remove the pain. The juice from leaves of the chilbil tree is also used for blistering the head in the same manner. Garlic is some- times rubbed over the temples to relieve pain. When half the head aches or in neuralgia, the fruit of the panrer tree called ad-kapali is used. It is worn at the end of the lobe of the ear on the affected side of the head, like an ear-ring. In cold, chilly is ground, mixed with water and drunk. Forgoitre, the root of the koinar tree and chitaor root are ground, and rubbed over the affected part. In small-pox, cowdung is burnt, and ghi is poured over it. The ashes as soon as cool are put over the affected part. Funerals.-The dead are burnt, except in cases of cholera, when they are buried. The funeral pyre is set ablaze by the son or nearest male relative of the deceased. The ashes are collected and covered over with sand, and a mound is made at the place. The bones of the deceased are left there. The funeral party return home and purify themselves by touching water in which five blades of dubh grass and a piece of iron are placed. In the evening some rice is cooked in milk. This is called dudh mu; and all the party have to eat of it. On the tenth day after the funeral the napit shaves the male members of the family of the deceased. This is called the dasua. On the 12th day the Brahman is fed and is also given some money, according to the circumstances of the people. The napit and the dhoby are also paid. The relatives and friends of the deceased are fed. Tatooing.—All Parhaiya women are tatooed (khodna), which is done by the ghasin or malarin. Her charge is from two annas to four annas, according to the patterns that she may be required to make. Tattooing is done after the age of ten years, and before marriage takes place. Antimony and woman's milk are used, and the pricking is done with three needles. The ornamentation is according to the fancy of the woman who performs the operation, but the patterns are generally necklace, bracelet, and anklet. The figures are made on the arms, neck, chest, and ankles of women. Men are not tattooed. Ornaments.-Women wear pairi (anklets); anguta (ring on great toe), anguri (ring on small toe); churi (bracelet) of lac ; churla (glass armlet); guria (necklet of beads); hasuli (necklet of silver); tarka (ear-ring) tikli (round wafer on forehead), and nathia and bolak, (nose-rings). Men wear kanous; (ear-ring); bera (bangle of silver), and occasionally udhrás (necklace of beads). Religion.—The deities are–Dharti or Muchukrani, who is believed to remain within the village under a large tree. She is appeased by the offering of a kid. Raksel, who is believed to keep off sickness provided an offering of a he-goat is made to him annually. Duár Pahár is said to be a Dhosad who remains in the village. He is appeased with a male pig. Durin the Dashara festival a buffalo is killed as an offering to him. Debi Mai is the deity of good- ness. A black she-kid is killed as an offering to her. 1BRIJIAS. These people know nothing of their history and can only say that they have been in Palamau for many generations. With few exceptions, they are found chiefly in jungle tracts in the southern part of the district where the cultivation done by them is entirely on the beonra or juming system. They are well-built, strong and able to bear any amount of hardship. In height, the men seldom exceed 5 feet 3 inches, while the women are about 5 feet. They are dark-skinned and have broad noses with flat faces and small black eyes. In spite of the hardships they have to endure in a part of the district which is extremely unhealthy during most of the year, and where the weather is intensely cold during the winter months, the average age to which they live is 30 years, and I have a few acquaintances among them who have passed the age of 60 years. Food.— Brijias eat beef, pork, deer, goat, buffalo, sheep, gaur, dhamin snakes (Ptyas mucosus), goi (a lizard), rats, bull frogs, tiger, leopard, bear, peacock and all birds, except vultures. They drink milk and buttermilk, and also eat curd. Blood, called tumba, of all animals that are eatable is boiled and drunk. It is not taken raw nor is uncooked meat eaten. Food is cooked in mustard, mahua or jating oil, whenever this is obtainable; other- wise it is cooked in water only. Oil is expressed by themselves between two logs of wood. All food eaten by men may be eaten by women also. Marrow is called tumul and is much sought after, owing to there being grease in it. In seasons of scarcity little difficulty is felt, as all edible roots and vegetables procured in the jungle are eaten, and no one knows better than the Brijia where he can easily get them, Salt (bulung) is obtained by exchange and eaten. Sugar and honey are eaten, the latter being obtained from bee hives in the jungles. Fire is made by rubbing two pieces of bamboo against each other. The lower piece is split and a bit of rag is fixed between. The upper piece is rubbed smartly against the lower . The friction creates sparks, which soon set the rag ablaze. Steel and flint are not In OWI 1. The first meal called lookma, is taken in the fields between 9 and 10 A.M., and consists of boiled pulse or makai. The next meal called kal-wa-jom-ko is taken at noon (dophar) and consists of mahua and vegetables, or boiled makaī or that made from jinor or pulse. The food most appreciated is makai and marua, together with such meat or vegetables that may be avail- able, as also mahua. Rice is eaten when obtained, but is little cared for, the former and cheaper grains being the staple food of these people. Food is cooked by the wife, or if there be an elder daughter in the house, she attends to this, while the mother looks to other matters. - ccxxix - Fuel is brought by the father or brother. Water is obtained from the nearest river or from a well, if one exists, but river water is preferred. Meals are common to the household. The mother helps the husband first, then the children, and lastly herself. All eat together in the compartment adjoining the one in which the food was cooked. When the children are given rice for the first time, a fowl is killed and offerings are made to deceased relatives. Five plates made of leaves are placed in a freshly cleaned part of the floor of the hut. Rice and fowl's meat are then put on the plates and the father of the child addresses the deceased relatives thus—“From to-day this child is beginning to eat rice. May he (or she) be able to digest it and may he (or she) continue in good health.” After this some rice is taken from each of the five plates and placed in the child’s mouth by the mother. - Marital relations.--Two friends, called bisuts, go from the boy's father to the parents of the girl and ask whether a marriage would be agreeable or not. If agreeable, as is always the case, the girl's parents fix a day, which is generally within eight or ten days of the first interview, and ask the bisuts to return. On the day appointed the bisuts, as well as the young man to be married and a few friends, take two earthen vessels or handi or janr (rice beer) with them and go the girl’s house. The handi is carried there by the bridegroom. On the same evening the girl's parents' relatives and friends assemble in the courtyard (angina) of the girl's house, and here the betrothal takes place by the girl's father, announcing that the marriage has been arranged and that he has promised to give his daughter to the boy. After this handi (liquor) is distributed by the bisuts in a topárá (earthen pot) or lota to each of the people present and the night is spent in feasting and drinking. On the following morning the girl's father fixes a day for the marriage, and after this the bisuts and boy return home. The date for the marriage is generally one year after the betrothal. On the lapse of the period that may be fixed, five earthen vessels of handi and 12 paseries or 72 seers of rice, as also two pigs and Rs. 6 in cash are taken by the bisuts, the bridegroom and his friends, together with two drummers to the bride's house. They are met on the way by the girl's people, and the marriage takes place on the same day. The rice, pigs and Rs. 6 are made over to the girl’s father in the presence of the relatives and friends who assemble in the courtyard. A sari, called mai sari is given to the girl’s mother, and one is also given to the bride. The bisuts then cause the bride and bridegroom to stand under a marwa (marriage shed covered over with leaves and bamboos) in the courtyard. After this the bisuts pour a little mustard oil over (1) the boy's head and (2) the girl's head, and then dress their hair with a kánki (comb of wood). This is the binding part of the ceremony. One of the bisuts then takes the bridegroom on his shoulder while the other bisut takes the bride up in his arms and the two then dance together in front of each other, singing all the while. After this dancing, which lasts for a few minutes only, the pair are set on the ground and they then have to go together, the boy first and behind him the bride, and - salute the guests present, beginning from the right and ending on the left, by bending before * them and touching their feet. This completes the marriage ceremony. Congratulations follow and presents of money are given to the girl according to circumstances of their friends. The only head-dress worn by the bridegroom is his mureta (turban) of cloth. He wears a kurta over his body and a dhoti as usual. After this there is feasting and drinking which run into the small hours of the morning. The whole of the food eaten at this feast has to be cooked by young men. No women are allowed to do this. The parents of the bridegroom are not present at the marriage. The bisuts represent them and arrange the whole affair. On the food for the feast being ready the girl's father addre, the male guests as follows:– “Come Das Bahadur brothers and eat the feast that is ready or you” and to the women folk he says—“Come sisters and join in this feast.” After this there is feasting and thereafter the bisuts, as also the bride and bridegroom, return home to the latter's house and the marriage is consummated there. The bride's parents do not accompany her. Four days after this the couple take two earthen vessels of handi called Bahoraotº handi to the bride's parents and drinking follows at thier house. On the same day presents consisting of money or cattle are given to the bride by her parents. This is called dàn dahy. The couple then return home. Polygamy is permitted. A man has been known to have three wives, but the number depends on his ability to support them. If there be three wives food is cooked by the second or third wife, generally the latter, while the elder one attends to other affairs of the house. A man may marry two sisters, provided he marries the elder one first... If a man is unable to agree with his wife he may divorce her by simply sending her away. The separation is effected in the presence of a few headmen of the village. The woman so separated may join another - man by mutual arrangement which is called 8againa. Reproduction.-In childbirth a woman is generally attended by her mother-in-law. If she has none, the next near female relative attends her. In cases of difficult labour shampoo- ing is resorted to. Beyond this, nothing is done. Cases of difficult labour are said to be rare. Marriage takes place between the age of 12 and 16. Puberty is said to begin at 12 years. A woman begins child-bearing at the age of 16 and ends at about 40 to 45 years. The average number of a family is 5, of whom two are boys and three are girls. The largest family known was of 9. A mother is known to have given birth to this number, of whom five grew up and four died. A mother suckles her children up to age of 3 years. Twins sometimes occur and are well regarded. It is said that when twins are born, if one dies, the other never survives. In cases of sickness, no medicine is given to a child. The mother only is dosed and it is believed that the child benefits thereby. The principal disease from which infants suffer is said to be fever, which prevails most in the month of Kartik, º CCXXX A barren woman is called Banjiana. She is not looked down on. Barrenness, however, in Brijia women is said to be uncommon. Births out of wedlock are never heard of. In fact, men respect women in this matter and there is said to be little immorality. Customs at death.-The dead are burnt. On removal of the corpse from the house paddy is scattered behind it by the head male member of the family. Wood is collected and the body is placed thereon by the male relatives of the deceased. No outsider may touch the corpse. A piece of new cloth is put over it. ... After this the nearest male relative walks round the pyre five times and each time applies fire from a bundle of straw first to the mouth of the corpse and then to the pyre, When the whole is burnt and nearly reduced to ashes, water is poured over the unburnt portion and the fire is extinguished. After this the nearest male relative takes a bit of bone from the forehead, the right forearm, the chest, the lower end of the spine and both thighs and feet, and after placing them in a new small earthen pot which is tied in a piece of new cloth it is then buried in a suitable prominent site, generally alongside a road. Before filling up the hole in which the pot is placed, a black fowl is killed in the name of the deceased to satisfy his spirit and the blood from the fowl is allowed to drop on the pot containing the bones. After this, the hole is filled up and a large stone called kalludh is erected over it. The dead fowl is taken home and cooked. On com- pletion of burial of the bones the funeral party return home and have their heads just above the forehead shaved after which a bath is taken in the river. The eldest male member of the family then takes some oil and turmeric (haldi) and applies it to the heads of the people present. This is said to purify them. On food being ready, five boys are brought and seated in the courtyard (anging) and are fed with rice and pork. This is called the panch kuanri and its performance admits of other people taking food. After this there is feasting and drink- ing and the funeral ceremonies are completed. - Inheritance.—Property descends to the son; if there be no son, then to the next male relative and widow, half to each. Daughters get nothing except what may be given to them by their father while he is alive. If there be no male relatives, the property remains with the widow so long as she is alive and after her decease is divided by the daughters in equal shares. Relationship is thus always traced in the male line. The mode of addressing relatives is as follows:– Tather is called ... Apun. Mother -> ... Engain. Elder brother 2x ... Dadain. Younger brother 22 ... Bokonje. Elder sister 22 ... Dáie. Younger sister 22 ... Bokonje. Son » ... Hoponing. Grandson 22 ... Nathián. Father's elder brother 22 ... Gungunje. Father's younger brother , ... Kakain. Mother's elder brother , younger brother | * ... Mamunje. Father’s elder sister 22 ... Hotomin, ,, younger sister , ... Kakinge. Brother’s wife 22 ... Hilinge. Sister's husband 22 ... Tenjain. Brother's son 27 ... Bhutijain. Clothing.—Men wear a barki gendra, which is a sheet or cloak for covering the body. It is in two long pieces stitched together and costs Re. 1-8; or they wear a gendra, which is a single piece of cloth worn as a cloak, and costs 12 annas. A bandoitana or dhoti is a piece of cloth worn round the loins. It is supported on the waist by a cord called danda-dor. The dhoti costs 8 annas. One barki gendra and two dhoties are worn during each year. Women wear an evergendra or sari.--It is worn round the lower part of the body. They do not wear a danda-dor. Two evergendras are worn each year and cost Re. 1-8. No kurtas are worn. The body from waist upwards is covered by a part of the etergendra. Children remain naked up to the age of four or five years. No ceremony is performed when they wear clothing for the first time. - Diseases and medicine.—The sick are looked after by their wives or other relatives. On recovery from sickness puja is generally performed by offering a fowl or pig through the Ojhas to the deities Khat and Dhandi. The sick are laid on a piece of mat called patia, which is made from leaves of the date palm. The diseases from which Brijias suffer and the remedies employed are mentioned below:— Brijea. Tºnglish.

Ornaments.-Among Brijias, men wear bera (bracelet) of silver on the right hand. The value of it is from Rs. 4 to Rs. 6. They wear a hisir (necklace) of beads costing two Gorakh- puri pice per string on their neck. A brass hairpin called salukha is worn on the head to support the hair. It costs two pice. Kanousi of brass (ear-rings) are worn on both ears. They cost two pice. Sometimes a string containing a silver coin is worn on the neck. This is called chandwa.

As to their origin, the tradition is that Korwas originally came from Lanka (Ceylon); but how or when or under what circumstances, is not known. They are well built, strong, and hard-working. In appearance, both in features and dress, as well as in the ornaments they wear, they rather resemble Kherwars. In height they are ccxxxii about 5 feet 6 inches, the women seldom being higher than 5 feet. The complexion of both is a dark brown, but I have seen some of a much lighter colour. They wear beard and moustache, and keep long hair, which is shaved only a little way just over the forehead. Both ears are bored by the Sonar. The hair is combed with a wooden kanki, which is made in Palamau. Korwas whom I have questioned allege that they are divided into seven clans or sub-castes, viz., Rajkorwa, Manráji, Samát, Edgi, Murung, Birjia, and Birhor. Each sub- caste is obliged to marry among themselves. They do not eat or drink with those outside their sept. Homesteads.-Houses are generally built facing northwards. Walls of huts are of sál posts plastered with earth. The frame of the roof is made of bamboo, and is thatched with straw (phus). Before occupying a new house the owner performs puja by making offerings to Debi, Raksel, Muchukrani, and Duarpar, the deities of Korwas. The floor of the hut is plastered with cowdung, after which a lamp is lit, and kept in the centre. Five plates of new earth are made and placed round the lamp. The plates are marked with sindur, and some cooked arua rice, as also milk and ghi, together with a puri made of wheat and rice flour mixed with ghi, are placed on each plate. After this the following lines are repeated by the owner of the house :- “Dekho Maharāj, pait parwāni, Toge Lachmi parallotal rahi, Je mánge ei waste tohará ke manátháe, Kahifi banne, jháre kusal mangal rahe Tubjáne Māhāraj asaldeo.” " (Oh King, should any member of my family be in the forest or my cattle be grazing there, keep them safe. To obtain this I make these offerings to you, and if all be quiet and happy, then I will know that you are the real King.) After this a kid is killed. Muchakrain must always have a black one. Water is poured over the kid's head, and the following lines are repeated :— “Dekho Maharaj, báeñ dhar, Tab jáne asal deo, ghar ke pujari,” “Oh King, let me feel you holding my hand, then I will know that you are the real deity who should be worshipped in this house.” If the head of the dead kid quivers, it is considered that the offerings are accepted, and that the prayer is answered. The kid is then skinned, and the flesh is cooked and eaten by the family. No work in the field is done on that day. It is considered a day of rest. Marriage.—There are two marriage systems: (1) The runaway or love marriage. Two young people take a fancy to each other, and run off and live together in the boy's hut at his father's homestead without further ceremony. This is called dahurá paturá biá and is generally adopted. The second system is as follows:—The father of the boy sends two men of his own caste to the girl’s father, and asks for his daughter. If agreeable, as is generally the case, consent is given, and the marriage is arranged. The dali or purchase money has to be paid, and a day is fixed for this. It is usually within 8 or 10 days of the first interview. On the appointed day relatives and friends come, each family bringing with them a gift of rice and dàl. In their presence the dali, consisting of Rs. 5, as also a mai-sári are given by the boy's father to the girl’s parents. The money is taken by the father, the mai-sār; by the mother. This binds them as far as giving the girl is concerned. After this there is feasting and drink- ing and the night passes in revelry. Early next morning the girl is conveyed in a dooly to the boy’s house. Her parents do not accompany her; but follow later in the same day. After this the young couple are made to sit together in the angina or courtyard and are anointed with haldi (turmeric) by the boy's sister. She then gives them a bath and new garments are worn by them. After this the pahan or baiga takes some rice flour and makes four lines with it on the ground under a marwa (canopy) which had been previously erected in the angina. This is the chowka. . Two pathals or leaf plates are made and placed within the chowka. The boy's brother-in-law who is called lokanda then acts the part of the napit. He takes some arua rice and causes it to be scattered on the ground in front of the young couple by the boy's sister who is called lokandi. After this they enter the chowka and sit on the pathal side by side in front of the altar of two kalsis (earthen vessels) which are placed in the centre of the marwa. They sit with their faces looking eastwards. Their hands are joined and kept open in front of them with the palms upwards. The boy, sits to the left of the girl. The lokanda then ties the boy's chudder to the girl’s sari by a knot and after this places arua rice in each of their hands. Some of this rice is then scattered by him over the pair and on the ground in front of them. This is the chumaon ceremony. After this the remaining rice is placed by the boy and girl, respectively, on their leaf plates and they then stand one behind the other, the girl being in front of the boy. She holds a soupli in her right hand and the boy holds her wrist, while still behind her. The lokanda then places lawa (fried rice) on the soupin while the boy shakes her hand and causes the lawa to scatter on the ground. The two then do bhanwar, by walking round the chowka five times. After each turn the boy bends and with his right hand touches the small toe of the girl's right foot and thus salutes her. This completes the bhanwar ceremony. After this the - -- - cCxxxiii - couple sit together as before on the leaf plates within the chowka. The lokand; then brings some sindur in a vessel called sindhora and while the girl is covered with a piece of cloth the boy marks her on her forehead five times with sindur. This is called the sindur-bandhan and is the binding part of the ceremony. After this the couple stand and, on the two baskets being placed on the ground in front of them, they step into one basket and then into another and so on until they reach the door of the hut. Here they are stopped by the boy's sister, the lokandi, who refuses to allow them to enter the hut until a present is given her. This amounts to two annas, which are paid or promised by the boy's father, after which the iokandi moves away and the young couple go into the hut. Here eating jhuta-bhat ceremony is performed. The boy eats some rice and milk and after him the girl does so out of the same plate. The knot binding their clothes together is untied by the boy, who then moves out of the hut leaving the girl behind. She is unable to come out from there during the whole of that day; but is visited by her friends and relatives and congratulations follow. In the evening the boy returns to the hut, and the marriage is consummated the same night. The girl’s age at the time of marriage is between 12 and 14 years. Puberty is said to begin at 12 years. On the following morning the pair come one after the other, the bride being behind the bridegroom. The lokand; then again ties their clothes together as on the previous day, and a party of four, comprising the lokandi first, then the bridegroom, behind him the bride, and lastly the lokandi, walk in line. The lokandi and the bridegroom salute each of the people seated in the angina by touching their right leg and bowing and the bride and lokand; follow suit by touching the right foot of every person and also bowing to them. Each person who is thus saluted has to give a dahey (present) of money, according to circum- stances, which is placed in the bag (khoicha) formed by the bride in front of her by her sari. This ceremony which is called gor-lagan, being completed, the young couple return to their hut and the friends leave after feasting and drinking. A Korwa may marry three wives, but not more. Polygamy is, however, practised only when the first wife is childless. A man may marry two sisters, provided the elder one becomes his wife first. He may marry his elder brother's widow, but not his younger brother's widow. Marriages of this sort take place by the sagai form and are not compulsory. Births.-In childbirth a Korwa woman is attended by an elderly female of her own caste, or if one is not available, by another Korwa woman who takes the places of the chamain. She is removed from the hut where meals are cooked, (rasai ghur) to the adjoining one and has to remain there 12 days. Six days after birth of the child the chatti takes place. The woman's clothes are washed and the father and other male members of the house have to shave their heads. On the lapse of twelve days the Barhi takes place. This consists of the father killing a fowl or kid and offering it to the deity. In doing this he repeats the following lines:— * … " “He Mahārāj, e barhi ke bakrá pujá to hárá ke det sº - Kusal mangal rahe.” - - (Oh king, this kid is offered to you for this Barhi; grant that all joy and happiness may continue here). The kid's head is then chopped off. After this the relatives and friends who may be present are feasted and the woman is then permitted to leave the hut. During the 12 days that she is there she is unclean and is not permitted to come out ; but she does so privately and only in presence of women by a small back door which exists in every Korwa's hut. This door is also used for the purpose of escaping in case of danger of any kind. On the expiration of six months the an-prasan ceremony takes place. This is feeding of the child with rice. Its feet are washed in unboiled milk. Some arua rice, gur and milk are cooked together and brought out in a chipi (plate). The child's mother's elder brother, (māmā) then feeds it and also names it. For this he is presented with a piece of cloth or some money, according to circumstances. A woman is known to have given birth to 12 children, but this is exceptional. A woman is said to generally have about seven children. The mode of addressing parents and others is mentioned below:- * Father --- --- Appa. Mother --- ... Ingá. Elder sister --- --- Didi. Younger sister --- ... By her name. Elder brother --- --- Dáda. Younger brother ... Babu. Father's elder brother ... Nunu. Mother's elder brother --- Mámá. Wife's brother --- --- Babu. Grandfather --- --- Ajá. Grandmother --- Náni. Clothing.—Among Korwas, men wear a dhoti round the loins. It is supported on the waist by a string called danda. In lieu of dhoti some men simply wear a bhagwa, which is a piece of cloth supported by the danda and tied between the legs. It covers the front * 9 9 . ccxxxiv. º and back. A piece of cloth measuring about three yards in length is worn on the head as a pugree. Some also occasionally wear an angna (coat) over the body. Two dhoties are worn annually and cost Re. 1. Women wear a sari, which goes round them and also covers the body above the waist. The length of the sari is five yards. It is purchased from the jolaha at one rupee per piece. Sometimes thread twisted by women is given to the jolaha for weaving the sari." Each seer of thread gives four yards of cloth. The jolaha charges two Gorukhpuri pice per yard for weaving the cloth. Personal ornaments.-Of ornaments Korwas wear kanousi of brass or silver on both ears. The cost is about 4 annas. They wear bera (bracelet) of silver on the right hand and occasionally on both hands. The cost is Rs. 4. Bijait (armlet) of silver is rarely worn A string with two metal tokens is worn on the neck and is called Sirjaner. Iron finger- rings called anguti are worn on third finger of left hand. The ornaments worn by Korwa women are—- English. Wernacular. Walue. Rs. A. P. Brass finger-ring worn on left hand ...

Baturi 0 1 0 Customs at death.--The dead are burnt and also buried. Those who have no rela- tives and people who die of cholera are always buried, as this disease is feared by all castes throughout Palamau. Nisakia are people who have no relatives. When burnt, the corpse, called matti, is placed between a pile of wood after which the nearest male relative of the deceased takes five bundles of kher (straw) and after lighting them, applies the fire to the head of the corpse. Each time he does this he walks round the pyre and sets fire thereto. When the pyre is well ablaze the party go off to the bank of #. river. Here they sit two deep and pass handfuls of sand from one to another over each shoulder on to the ground behind. This is done five times and is called the kandkati ceremony. After this they return to the pyre and collect the bones, &c., of the deceased that may remain unburnt and cover them up with ashes and earth. Having done so they have a bath and return home. Here a katauth (wcoden basin) is filled with water and a tangi (iron axe) is placed alongside it together with some barni grass with its roots. The grass is dipped in the water and is applied to the right foot while it is on the tangi, and then over the left shoulder. This is done five times and is supposed to purify the people who had attended the funeral. After this, food consisting of rice and milk is cooked and eaten by them. On the expira- tion of 10 days the daso ceremony takes place. The relatives have to shave their heads and wash their clothes. On the following day the bhoj iollows and relatives and friends are fed according to circumstances. They assemble under a jhala (shed made of leaves) and a tahalu, being a member of the caste and a resident of the village, then washes the feet and legs of each person present. There are two tahalus, one of whom does the washing while the other pours water. After this all sit under the jhala. Another person called barik places tobacco on a leaf before each person. On food being ready, the barik stands on one leg before them and holds out This hands palm upwards and performs the angia ceremony. He says to all present “take angia of a handful of food in the name of (name of the deceased is here mentioned). “We agree” is the reply of the guests. This completes the ceremony and the feasting with drinking then begins. Religion.—The deities of Korwas are (1) Debi, (2) Raksel, (3) Duarpár, and (4) Manusdeva or Nunku. All these have to be appeased at different seasons of the year by the killing of kids and offering of roti made of flour, else they are supposed to be offended and to cause sickness and trouble in the house, if not in the entire village. All deceased relatives are worshipped. Food.—Almost anything is eaten by Korwas, Beef, goat's flesh, venison, sheep, fowls, turtles, fish, cattle that die a natural death, hare, tiger, leopards, hanuman monkeys, milk, butter, ghi, buttermilk and all edible roots. Birds of all kinds, except kites and vultures, are eaten. Blood of any animal is also drunk after being cooked. At §. beginning of the day before going to work the first meal called lookma, which consists of mahua, is eaten. The meal is a light one and the quantity taken is expressed as pao-bhar (; seer). The next meal kelewa is taken at about noon in the field, where it is brought by the wife or some other member of the house. It consists of mahua and buttermilk (matta), as also vegetables and boiled roots and bhat of savan, gandli, kodo or any other cereal. It is a hot meal and a full one. Rice is not eaten as a rule. If obtainable, it is eaten, but is not depended on. The last meal, called biari, is taken at nightfall, and consists of mahua, vegetables and bhat made from some - - ºf - - - º CCXXXV cereal or makai, or whatever may be cooked. Dori (seed of the mahua fruit) oil, til, mustard and keoti oil are used for cooking food. When oil is not available food is simply boiled in water. Oil is expresed by the Teli, who charges for doing so at the rate of two Gorukhpuripice er ghani (mill); or more frequently oil is expressed by enclosing the seed in a small bamboo §...". putla. The putla is placed between two blocks of wood called patri. The º of pressing the upper patri over the lower one is called sunnum. The outturn of oil is a quarter seer from a seer of seed. The oil-cake is called khari. Kaoti and dori oil-cake are used as fuel. Til and mustard oil-cake are eaten by Korwas. Sugar and gur are eaten, but chiefly as medicine. Salt is purchased from the market and eaten daily, except on Sundays, when neither salt nor buttermilk are eaten. Meals are common to a household. If there be old parents or friends ºn the house, they are attended to first, after which the husband, wife, and children eat together in the same room; but the wife has to sit a short distance away from her husband. Meals are eaten on donas (plates) made of leaves of the sal, korea, chirohiri or mahulan tree. Drinks are obtained from the outstill shop. Water is procured for all purposes from the nearest river. KISSANS. º Kissans are a Dravidian tribe of Palamau and are found chiefly in the southern tappas, rarely in the northern part of the district. The number of Kissan raiyats in the villages under report is 43, and the area of land held by them is 243:17 acres. Kissans are dark-skinned, with broad flat faces and broad noses. In height they stand about 5 feet 6 inches, and they are well built, strong, and industrious. Their chief occupation is cultivation. Service to them is ex- tremely repugnant. They will attend to ploughing another's fields or cutting his crops for him, but nothing beyond that. They keep long hair, and wear both beard and moustache, and are a simple, truthful people. Food—Kissan sub-castes are (1) Nagbansi and (2) Sinduria. The former do not marry with the latter, nor do they eat or drink with them. Both classes of Kissans eat pork, goat’s meat, deer, fowls, hare, peacock, but not sheep or beef or blood. Ornaments.— The wives of Nagbansi Kissans do not wear churns (lac bracelets) or tarkas (ear-rings). They put on bits of a mango leaf or of a palm leaf plucked and twisted by themselves on their ears. They do not tattoo themselves, whereas the Sinduria women tattoo themselves and also wear churis and tarkas. Marriage.—A Kissan may marry two or more wives if he is able to support them. Arrangements for marriage of young people are made by their parents, and are binding on them. The boy’s father goes to the girl’s parents with a phuthandan (cord for tying front of a woman's sari), eight annas, liquor, twelve seers (one dhara) of rice, three seers of dāl, quarter seer of tobacco, half seer of salt, some oil, and a sari. He enquires if they will give their daughter in marriage with the boy. On consent being expressed, the rice and other articles are made over to them. The acceptance of these articles binds them, and they cannot withdraw from the compact. The marriage does not take place at once. A year or two are allowed to lapse, and during this time the boy's father is bound to keep the girl properly clothed. Kissans can marry only in the months of Falgoon, Magh, and Bysak. On the day fixed for the marriage a goat, some liquor, and Rs. 5 as dali are taken and made over to the bride's father. On receipt of this the bride is brought out, and in the presence of the guests her father formally makes her over to the bridegroom's father, whom he addresses as follows:– “Here is my daughter, whom I now make over to you. Take care of her. Examine her, and satisfy yourself, so that hereafter you may not find fault by saying that she is lame or deaf or unfitin any respect. If you are not satisfied, take back your dali now, otherwise hereafter hold your peace.” The bridegroom's father being satisfied takes the bride away with him to his house, where the marriage is performed. A marwa (wedding canopy) built of four posts with bamboo twigs and leaves as a roof is erected in the angina (court-yard), and an altar of two earthen vessels (kalsas) is made in the centre. The bhanwar ceremony is performed by the bridegroom and bride walking round the altar five times and scattering parched rice before themselves on the ground. At the end of each round the bridegroom bends, and while holding the bride's right ankle he lifts her foot, rubs it against a silout (flat mortar), from which he throws down some hardi, pice, and rice on the ground. Prior to the marriage ceremony a silout together with five pieces of hardi, five pice, and some arua rice have to be kept in front of the altar for the above purpose. After this the sindur-bandan is done. The man applies sindur to the girl's forehead. This is the binding part of the ceremony. No Brahman is needed, but the napit is employed for the purpose of paring the nails of the young couple. The marriage is consummated on the night on which it takes place. Puberty begins at 12 years. Infant marriages are not recognized. Marriages usually take place at the age of 10 to 12 years, but there are many adult Kissans who have not yet married for want of funds. Widows are allowed to re-marry by the sagai form. If a woman commits adultery with a Kissan, she is not outcasted; but her seducer has to pay her husband as a fine, all expenses that he had incurred at his marriage, and after this he has to marry the woman by the saga; or sagum form. If a woman goes wrong with a man who belongs to another waste, she is turned out altogether. * w g 2 ccxxxvi Childbirth.-A woman is attended by her own caste of women alone. No chamain is allowed to approach a Kissan woman at this period. The cord is cut by a relative. The child is named by the grandfather if it be a boy, and by the grandmother if it be a girl. On the sixth day after childbirth the chat is performed by the mother having a bath and wearing clean clothes. If the child be a girl, the mother is not permitted to enter the apartment where food is cooked or for five months to approach the place where the deity is supposed to remain. Her husband will not eat food that she may cook for five months. If the child be a boy the period is extended to six months. Funerals.-The dead are burnt. The bones, ashes, etc., are collected and thrown into the river on the banks of which the corpse is burnt. After this about half a seer of milk is sprinkled on the site of the funeral pyre. On returning to the house of the deceased, the funeral party, before entering the court-yard, have to take some dubh grass, dip it in water, touch a piece of iron with it, and sprinkle the water over their right foot. This is held to purify them. After this they are provided with rice and milk, which are eaten. On the lapse of ten days relatives and friends of the deceased are fed. No Brahmans are employed. Religion.—Kissans worship Debi, to whom goats and fowls are offered annually. They also worship the sun, to which either a white goat or a white cock is offered. Their baiga or pahan makes offerings of a red kid, together with roti (flour cakes) at the village gaonhel (sylvan shrine) to Duarpar to avert sickness and other calamities. The deceased parents of Kissans are represented by a small mud plinth, which is made inside every hut, and are wor- shipped there. If any Kissan be killed by a tiger; the person killed is supposed to become Baghaut, and his family alone has to make offerings to and worship this deity. Kissans who possess guns have no hesitation in killing tigers when able to do so. AGARIAS. Agarias have two sub-castes, viz., (1) Agaria, and (2) Asur Agaria. The latter do not drink water from, or eat with, the former and vice-versá. The Agarias are purely cultivators. The Asur Agarias are iron-smelters of Palamau, and in villages lying to the south of the district they are blacksmiths, and repair ploughshares; but they do no cultivation at all. In both sub-castes the men are tall and well built, with dark brown complexion, broad, flat faces, and broad noses. They wear moustaches and beard, both of which are clipped short up to the skin. They have no traditions and know nothing of their history, except that they have been in Palamau for many generations. They are found chiefly in villages to the south and south-west of the district. Food.—Both sub-castes eat pig, deer, goat's meat, fowls, fish, hare, peacock, and doves; but Asur Agarias do not eat eggs or porcupine, which Agarias have no hestitation in eating. Blood is collected in a basin, and cooked and eaten. Meat is also cooked and eaten. Marriage.—Puberty is said to begin at the age of 12 years. Marriage takes place at the age of 10 or 12 years. Neither Brahman nor napit is needed. The duty of these officials is performed by Agarias themselves. The amount of the dali for the bride is Rs. 5. A sari is given to her, and one to her mother. On receipt of this, both the girl and her parents are bound. The marriage proceedings are similar to those of Kherwars. The bridegroom marks the bride on her forehead with sindur. They also apply blood from the little finger on their necks, the bridegroom to the bride and she to him. This is the binding part of the ºny. The marriage takes place at the bride's house, and is consummated the same day. - Homesteads.-Agarias build their huts facing either to the north or south. No hut should face either to the east or west, “because the sun rises and sets in those directions.” When a new hut is built it is occupied after an offering of new cooked rice is made to deceased ancestors. - Funerals.-The dead are buried, and also burnt. It depends on the circumstances of the family of the deceased. The poor are always burnt. When the dead are burnt, five bones, viz., one of the head, one of the shoulder, one of a finger of the right hand, one of the right leg, and one of a toe of the right foot, are kept. The remainder is collected and thrown into the river. An earthen jar is then procured, and the bones taken are deposited in it and buried on the spot on which the funeral pyre was. After this the funeral party return home, and purify #...iv. This is done by placing the left foot over an iron axe, and applying water five times to the foot with dubh grass. After ten days the usual feasting follows. DHANUKs. These people allege that they emigrated from Tirhut, and first squatted in pargana Bilaunja, whence they moved into Palamau some 200 years ago. All the Palamau Dhanuks are of the Tirhutia sub-caste. The titles they use after their names are Singh, Mahto, Manjhi, and Raut. Marital relations.—Marriages take place according to circumstances of the parents. The bride and bridegroom should be of the age of 5 or 6 years, but not below. The betrothal and other marriage proceedings are the same as those followed by other Hindus. The Brahman has to be present. The amount of the tilak may be from four annas, together with some pan and kaseli (betel-nut), to any higher amount, according to circumstances of the bride's parents. Polygamy is permitted. A man may marry two or three wives if he is able to maintain them, and he may also marry two sisters, provided the elder one is first married. Puberty is said to begin at the age of 14 years. Widows are allowed to re-marry. A man marrying a ccxxxvii widow takes her home with him. On entering his hut both sit before the gosain (deity), which is represented by a small earthen plinth, and in front of this the man marks the woman on her forehead five times with sindur. This is the binding part of the marriage. He goes through no other form, and pays no money for the woman. Divorce is allowed. In case a woman is divorced, her parents and relatives are called, and she is formally made over to them, and told that she may marry again if she likes. She then leaves the house in company with her people, and the matter ends. Divorces, however, are said to be rare. - In childbirth a woman is attended by the chamain, and the chat ceremony is performed within tour to six days of the birth. The child is named by the parents or the Brahman, but generally by the former. A barren woman is banji. She is not treated with disrespect. Funerals.-The dead are burnt. Five bits of bone from the deceased’s forehead, right arm, right side, ribs, right thigh, and right leg are taken from the pyre after the corpse is burnt, and are buried under a pipul tree, and the spot is watered daily for ten days by the nearest male relative of the deceased. He hangs an earthen pot (ghat) filled with water over the spot, and water should drop on the ground through it. The pot is filled daily for ten days. On the tenth day the relatives of the deceased shave their heads, and have their clothes washed. On the morning of the eleventh day the ghat is broken by a Maha Brahman, who is called the Mahapatri. If the deceased be a man, the bhoj ceremony is performed on the twelfth day, if a woman, the bhoj is done on the thirteenth day. Brahman and relatives and friends of deceased are fed. No liquor is drunk. Religion.—Dhanuks worship Goreya and Ram Thakur. At marriages offerings of he- goats are made to them. If children or others be sick, Debi is invoked, and vows are made that if the sick recover, she will be worshipped. The sun also is worshipped at full moon (Purna- más"). Offerings of a mixture of flour, ghi, gur, cardamoms, cloves, almonds, and dates are made. This is called manbhog. Money also is given. The proper periods for this ceremony are in Kartih, Magh, and Bysak. Clothing.—Men wear a kurta, which buttons on right side of neck, and costs six annas. Some wear an anga (jacket), which also buttons on the right, and costs eight annas. An angocha of four yards of cloth is worn over the shoulders, and a mureta of three yards of cloth is worn round the head. These cost eight annas each. A dhoti of four yards .# cloth, the cost of which is nine annas, is worn round the body and legs, and is supported at the waist by a danda of cord. These cost ten annas. Two of each are worn during the year. Women wear a sari, the length of which is seven yards. It costs one rupee. The front of the sari is tied by a phulbandha, which costs two pice. Ajhula or bodice is worn to cover the body. It costs four annas. Two of each are worn annually. Children are permitted to remain naked up to the age of four years.

The Koiri sub-castes are Barki Dangi, Chotki Dangi, Banapar, Kanaojia, Sakaldwipi, and Juruhar. These are the only sub-castes found in Palamau. The origin of the Koiris as mentioned to me by some of the Mahtos and headmen of the Banapar and Chotki Dangi castes is this. Koiris were born from Mahadeo and Gourparvati in a ban (jungle), and were instructed by them to kor (dig) the waste lands there, and bring them under cultivation. They were given bihan (seed), and were shown how to make, cultivate, and irrigate fields. They were taught the cultivation of onions, ginger, garlic, brinjals (bhanta), and other vegetables, and having gradually become expert in this, they were named Koiri after the word “Kor.” Their chief occupation is cultivation. For many generations they have pursued no other calling, and to them personal service is extremely repugnant. Their skill and industry in rearing specially valuable crops that require careful and constant tending are well known, and but for these excellent market gardeuers, the bazars of Palamau would be destitute of the many vegetables that form the principle articles of diet of a native household. As agriculturists they have no equal in the district, and in proof of the high estimation in which they are held, I would mention the following story which was related to me by people outside their caste:— - A Koiri named Rohee had committed some offence, and was imprisoned. When the rohan season came he told the warders:—“ Rohan has come; but Rohee is absent from home.” ccxxxviii On this being communicated to the Sircar, the prisoner was questioned as to what he meant. He replied:—“I said that Rohan had come, but Rohee was not at home. Had I been at home to-day, my fields would certainly have yielded a good outturn.”. Bearing this, the Sircar released him, with instructions that he should plough and cultivate his lands. Rohee then went home, and sowed paddy in a single kiari (field) covering sixty bighas. After this the Sircar sent a warder to ascertain what Rohee was doing. The warder visited the field in Savan, and reported that the land had been cultivated, and paddy had germinated well. Hearing this, the Sircar took all his cattle and horses to the place, and caused the paddy to be grazed down. This was Rohee's punishment, but he did not lose heart. The cattle had left their droppings, and this supplied good manure to the field. Rohee again sowed. Rain also came, and with it the paddy sprung up. In Aughan the Sircar again visited the field to see what Rohee was doing. Having found that paddy had come up, and was higher than his horse's stomach, and that Rohee had worked hard and improved his lands, he pardoned him, and said that he was the best of cultivators. This story is translated from the Hindi, in which it was related to me, and is well known among the agricultural classes and often related in connection with the industry of Koiris of the district. Anyone who has travelled through tappas Goawal, Kote, Imli, and Pandag of Palamau, where Koiris have resided for many generations, could not have failed to have been struck with the sedulous care, nay, affection, with which a Koiri tends his fields. He is never happy unless he is doing something to improve his lands. The provident manner in which he collects his manure near his homestead, the careful preparation he gives to his field, and the ever-watchful eye he keeps on the changes the crop undergoes are proofs of his true calling in life. In disposition he is quiet, gentle, and law-abiding. He is the least litigious, and generally takes things calmly. - Marital relations.—The rule is that a man must marry within his own section or sub- caste. Marriages usually take place at the ages of 10 to 14 years. Puberty is said to begin at the age of 12 years. There are said to be no infant marriages among Koiris in Palamau. The proceedings in connection with a marriage are as follows:– Two friends, called aguas, are sent to ascertain whether the father of the girl would be willing to give his daughter. If agreeable, betrothal takes place on a day which is fixed by him. The boy's father, accompanied by some friends, goes to the bride's house. Here the lagan, consisting of five pieces of turmeric, some arua rice, dubh grass, and four copper pice, are placed on a plate before a Brahman, who performs puja over them. If the Brahman says that the two may be married, the ceremony is complete, and is called lagan- bandha. Arrangements are then made for the marriage, and a day is fixed for giving of tilak. On the appointed day the bride's father takes a piece of cloth, a brass duba (cup), a thali, and money according to his means to the bridegroom's house, where it is made over to his father as tilak. The marriage takes place after this at the bride's house, where sweetmeats and clothing are presented to her and her parents. The rest of the proceedings are the same as those of Hindu marriages generally. The binding part of the ceremony is the marking of the bride's forehead by the bridegroom five times with sindur. - A man may marry two or more wives, provided he is able to support them. He may marry two sisters, if he marries the elder one first. . Widow re-marriage is allowed by the sagai form. A widow is not obliged to marry any of her deceased husband's brothers. Widows of the Barki Dangi sub-caste do not re-marry. A man wishing to marry a widow goes with two pieces of cloth to her house, where he makes over one to her and the other to her mother. He then brings her away in a dooly. No money is paid, nor is any Brahman needed. . The dooly follows the man up to the boundary of the village in which the woman had resided. Here the dooly is placed on the ground, and the man then and there marks the woman’s forehead five times with sindur while she is still within the covered dooly. This binds the pair, and they go off together to the man’s house. Divorce.—Divorce is not recognised, and a man therefore may not divorce his wife. If the two are unable to agree, he has to provide her with separate quarters and support her as long as she may remain with him. If he fails to do so, he is outcasted or otherwise punished by the elders of the village, to whom he is obliged to give a kachi and a pakki meal, i.e., a meal of roti, and also a warm one with rice and other articles. If a man entices away another man’s wife both of them are outcasted for twelve years. No Koiri will eat with them during this period. They may be taken into caste again after the lapse of twelve years, provided a fine is paid by feeding Brahmans and the headman of the village. The fine is heavy, and prevents anybody once outcasted from returning to caste again. Birth.-At childbirth a woman is attended by the chamain for six days, after which the chatti is performed by the woman being bathed by the chamain; the napit pares her nails, and her clothes are washed by the dhoby. The barhi ceremony is held on the twelfth day, and the bisua ceremony on the twentieth day, when the woman plasters the floor of her house with cowdung, and then has a bath. After this she goes to the well to draw water, but before doing so marks the well five times with sindur. Inheritance.—Property descends to the son, if there be one; otherwise the widow enjoys it so long as she may live. On her decease the nearest male relatives inherit. Daughters get nothing beyond what the father may give them when he was alive. Funerals.-The dead are burnt by the side of the nearest river, the fire being applied to the pyre by the nearest male relative. The funeral party bathe, and on returning home water is placed in a karai together with some barley, til, and dubh grass, as also a tangi (axe). Each person then touches the water with the dubh grass and afterwards the ccxxxix tangi. This completes the loha-pani or purification ceremony. After this the head male member of the family has to hang an earthen pot with water over the roots of a pipul tree. The water should fall drop by drop on the roots. The pot has to be filled daily for ten days. On the tenth day a Maha Brahman comes and breaks the pot, and he is afterwards feasted. On the twelfth day the Brahman purohit of the family, and after him the relatives and friends are fed. Religion.—Koiris have three deities. Purbia also called Maragara, who is believed to reside in the dhawa (verandah) of every house. Offerings of roti and goat's meat have to be made to him, else he causes sickness and trouble. The other deities are Kali-Mai and Bhyro Baba, who have to be appeased with offerings of food in Falgoon, Dashara, and other periods of the year. BHUIHERS. There is no information about these people in Mr. Risley’s “Tribes and Castes of Bengal,” and very little is said of them in Dalton’s “Ethnology of Bengal.” In Palamau Bhuihers are found only in the southern tappas. They have round, flat faces, with small, oblique eyes. They wear long hair at the back of the head, which is shaved a little over the forehead. They also wear moustaches, and have a few hairs on the chin for beard. They use the title of “Manjhi.” Food—Pig, deer, goat, hare, peacock, and all game are eaten. Animals that die a natural death are eaten; cow's flesh is abstained from. Homestead.—The walls of huts are made of stakes of sál tree, plastered over with earth. The roof is made of bamboo thatched with straw. The principal hut should face north- wards. New huts are built without any ceremony. Marriage.—Marriages are arranged by two of the elders of the village. They ask the girl's parents for her. If the barking of a deer or cry of a jackhal (phekar) is not heard at night, an answer in the affirmative is given on the following morning. The amount of the dali (purchase-money) is Rs. 3. This is paid on the day fixed, and the marriage takes place in the bridegroom's house. A marwa (wedding canopy) is erected there, and an altar is made below it. The proceedings are the same as those at marriage of Kherwars; but no napit or Brahman is present. After going round the altar five times, the bridegroom marks the bride on her forehead with sindur, and she with her little finger applies sindur to both ears of the bridegroom. This is the binding part of the ceremony. The bridegroom's mother then takes urua rice and scatters it on the young couple. She also takes water, waves her hand round them, and sprinkles them with the water in the direction of the house which they are to occupy. . After this she leads them to the house, and leaves them there. The marriage is consummated the same day. The bride and bridegroom are married at the age of 14 and 16 years, respectively, when puberty is said to begin. Infant marriage is not practised. Polygamy is allowed, provided the man can support more than one wife. Divorce is effected by simply turning the woman out of the house in the presence of a panchayat. A woman is divorced only when she is unable to agree with her husband, or when she is guilty of adultery. She may re-marry after divorce by the sagai form Widows are allowed to re-marry by the saga: form. Birth.-At childbirth a woman is attended by one of her own caste. A chamain is not called in. The mother is kept in bed for six days, after which she bathes. The child, whether boy or girl, is named by the mother. Funerals.-The dead are burnt, and also buried. If death occurs in the morning, the corpse is burnt, if in the evening, it is buried. After burial or burning the people who take part in the ceremony return home, and in the angina (court-yard) have to purify themselves by sprinkling their right foot with water from dubh grass. After ten days the bhoj ceremony takes place, and friends are feasted. lothing.—Men wear a strip of cloth, which covers their back and front. It is supported on the waist by a piece of string. This is all their clothing at home. A gilap (sheet) is thrown over their body when they go out visiting. As they wear long hair, it is combed with a kºnkhi (wooden comb), which is made in the district, and sells in the market at one pice each, Women wear a sheet, which covers them from waist downwards, and is long enough to also cover their bodies. They do not wear jhula (bodice). Ornaments —Women are not tattooed, nor do they wear churis (lac bracelets). Mahti or iasoonia (brass bracelet), taria (armlet of brass), pairi (anklet), anguti (finger-ring), tarka (ear-ring), and lalri (necklace) are worn. Men wear ear-rings; also bera (bracelet), on right hand and anguti (brass rings) on fingers of left hand. Religion.—The only deity is Bar-pahar. He is believed to remain in the homestead, and has to be propitiated annually with offering of a red cock, and every three years with a goat. Deceased parents are worshipped, and offerings of fowl are made to them. Bhuihers do not observe the Karma and Jitia festivals. The village priest is called pahan. He performs the kathool ceremony in Bysak. Before fuel can be collected or burnt for manuring land in which cotton is to be grown, the pahan has to kill a pig, goat, and fowl at the gaonhel (sylvan shrine) to propitiate the deity. After making this offering the pahan gives the order for burning wood...Again in Aughan, before grain is weighed, the pahan has to make an offering of a goat by killing it at the gaonhel. The weighment of grain is carried out after this. - ccxl Bhuihers are an extremely simple people. They are retiring in their habits and easily frightened. I found them in the vicinity of the Reserved forests to the south of the district, and they seem to thrive best there. There are only 56 Bhuiher raiyats in the Palamau Government estate. They hold 288.18 acres of land, the rent of which on the new basis is: Rs. 373-14. No mention of these people was made in the last census. It is possible that they were mixed up with Parhaiyas and Brijias, whom they resemble in features and habits. I found them honest and truthful. They cultivate the usual crops, and are good agriculturists. ORAONS. A Dravidian cultivating tribe of Chota Nagpur. Scattered as they are all over Palamau, Oraons are perhaps the most cheerful and light-hearted people you will find in the district. They are often mixed up with Mundas, very few of whom, I believe, reside in Palamau. The number of Oraons according to the last census is 23,799 males and 24,747 females, or a total of 48,546 in all. The number of Oraon raiyats in the villages to which this report relates, is 1,352. They hold 9,808:56 acres of land, the rent of which on the new basis is Rs. 7,054-2. They have rather round faces, with broad, flat noses, projecting jaws, low foreheads, and dark eyes. Their colour is a dark-brown, but I have also met a few of them decidedly black. In height they are seldom above 5 feet 8 inches, and Oraon women are about the same height. Food.—Pig, beef, goat's flesh, eggs, fowls, tiger, leopard, bear, all birds except vultures, fish, field-rats and large bull-frogs are eaten. Roots of all edible kinds are relished. Rice beer called hairia is preferred to liquor of the outstill shop and is much drunk. Women smoke hookah; men chew tobacco. Marriage.—Oraons say that formerly marriage took place when the boy and girl were “tuari” (fit). Now young children between the age of 7 to 9 years are being married, because people are said to laugh if early marriages do not take place. It is feared that with the advance of civilization the Oraons of Palamau are imitating Brahmans and Rajputs in the matter of infant marriages. The marriage is arranged by the parents. The young people have no voice in the matter. Two friends visit the girl's parents and obtain their consent. A day is then fixed for the meeting of the parents. On that day the bridegroom's father oes to the bride's house. The samdi ceremony is performed there in presence of É. The father of the bride and bridegroom respectively embrace each other and swear to be friends for ever. After this a day is fixed for the wedding, and invitations are issued. On the day fixed the bridegroom and his father go to the bride's house. The bridegroom is taken in a palky or on a pony, and his mother, sisters, and near relatives accompany him as barat. The remainder of the proceeding is similar to what Hindus usually follow, except that no Brahman or napit is needed. Birth.-In childbirth a woman is attended by women of her own caste, but in cases of difficult labour the chamain is always called in and stays with the patient until the infant is born. The navel cord is cut by the attendant Oraon woman. The chamain is not allowed to touch it. For six days the mother is attended by some female friend and is not left alone for any time, as it is believed that the hut being chutihar (unclean), the evil spirit chordewan will enter and touch the woman and kill the child. For the first two days the mother is allow- ed to have only a mixture of water with haldi (turmeric), Sont (ginger) andgur. On the third day she may have rice. On the sixth day she has a bath, wears clean garments and attends to her ordinary duties. Before drawing water from the village well, she has to make five marks on the well with sindur (vermillion). Children are named by the parents. Ordinarily the name adopted is after the day on which the child was born. Sometimes the name of some relative or ancestor is fixed. The common names are:— Somra which means born on Monday. Mangra 22 - Tuesday. Budhua 22 Wednesday. Bifaiya 2- Thursday. Sukra 32 Friday. Sanicharwa 35 Saturday. Etwa 22 Sunday. Funerals.-The dead are burnt. The body is washed and covered with a new cloth and taken to the bank of nearest river, where the burning, takes place. The eldest son or next male relative lights the pyre. After the body has been consumed five bits of bone from the hands, ribs, and thighs are collected and put in a chukar (earthen vessel), and kept at the place where the body was burnt. Twelve days after this, when the bhoj ceremony is to be performed, the ashes are gathered by the people who burnt the body, and thrown into the river. After a bath, they carry the chukar containing the bones of the deceased to his hut. All along the way parched rice is scattered. ń. chukar is hung on the wall outside the hut. After this when food for the bhoj is ready, a little of everything is taken and placed in the chukar to satisfy the spirit of the deceased. The friends present are then feasted. . In the morning if it is intended to take the bones to Ranchi for burial there, the chukar is buried until the day arrives for removing it; otherwise it is announced in the village that bones of deceased are going to Gunga. Each of the male residents of the village who are able then put a pice into the chukar and five men being friends and relatives ccxli of deceased carry it to the river, where, after removing the pice from it, they dash the chukar on the ground by the side of the water. The place is then washed, so that the contents of the chukar may join the waters of the river. After this the men go to the nearest outstill shop and use the pice obtained from the chukar in drink. Festivals.-Among Oraons the festivals are “Karma,” “Jilia,” “Amawas,” “Dashara,” “Soharai,” “ Chat,” and “Deothan.” The “Karma” festival is the most important. Religion.—The Oraon deities are (1) Darha-He is supposed to reside in Ranchi; but comes to Palamau annually to visit the Oraons. If he is not propitiated, he causes sickness and other troubles. Offerings of pig, cock, and goat, and once in three years a sheep, have to be made to him; (2) Purbia—who also causes sickness. He has to get a male kid. (3 Chigur—She has to be propitiated with offerings of fowl, roti, and drink; and (4) Goisali, who is the god of cattle. If he is not propitiated with sacrifice of a pig, he causes sickness and death among cattle. Clothing.—Men wear dhoti and a chudder. Some of them wear coats or jackets, and also mureta as a covering for the head. Women wear a sari, which covers their body from waist to feet, and is also used for covering their bosoms. Children are allowed to go about naked until the age of six years. - Ornaments.—Women wear matia (bracelet) on both arms; lairi (necklace) of beads, hasuli (necklace) of silver; ſhutia (toe-ring); pairi (anklets) of bell-metal; nakbutni (nose- ring) of silver; bichkani (ear-rings) of brass; bitla with jhilka and chilpi (ear-rings) of brass; tircula (ear-rings) and anguti (rings) of brass and iron on fingers. Men wear bera (bracelet), anguti, lairi, and kanousi (ear-rings), Oraons of the northern tappas wear pagra (ear-rings), but not lalri (necklace) of beads. * h h W. M. D’C. and others-Reg. No. 7782J-150-1-8-98. º s …' No. 736L.R., dated Ranchi, the 16th November 1898. From-A. Forbes, Esq., I.C.S., C.S.I., Commissioner of the Chota Nagpur Division, To—The Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal. WITH reference to your letter No. 1405S., dated the 29th July 1898, forwarding, for my and the Deputy Commissioner of Palamau's remarks, two copies of Mr. Sunder's final report on the survey and settlement of the Palamau Government estate, I have the honour to say that the report submitted by Mr. Sunder is full and exhaustive, and contains a mass of interesting infor- mation. The following remarks are offered. 2. Paragraph 22 of Mr. Sunder's report.—Mr. Sunder recommends the removal of the carved stone gateway from the old Palamau Raja’s palace to Daltonganj. I intend to visit the locality during my approaching cold weather tour when I will consider this proposal. 3. Paragraph 33 of Mr. Sunder's report.—I entirely agree with all that Mr. Sunder says in regard to the utility of ahars or irrigation reservoirs, and the necessity of adding to their number wherever necessary and maintaining the existing ones in a proper state of repair. As regards the proposal that a special Government grant be made for this purpose, the Deputy Commissioner will be requested to give his attention to the matter, and to specially report any cases where this may appear necessary or advisable. I note that clause 15 of the draft form of patta forwarded with this office No. 647 L. R., dated 11th October 1898, provides for the raiyats giving their assistance in this matter. 4. Paragraph 35 of Mr. Sunder's report.—Here Mr. Sunder specially mentions two important irrigation schemes by damming up the rivers Naduara and Hargoroa, and also recommends a third smaller one by damming the Simar khal in village Sagalim. The preliminary survey of the first of these, viz. the Naduara Nadi irrigation scheme, has already been sanctioned by the Board in their letter No. 180A., dated the 28th July 1898. The Deputy Commissioner will be asked to report on Mr. Sunder's proposals in the two other cases. 5, Paragraphs 46 and 64 of Mr. Sunder's report.—The Deputy Commis- sioner remarks that the annual fair at Daltonganj mentioned by Mr. Sunder commences on the 20th Magh and not on the 13th as stated by him. 6. Paragraphs 52, 54 and 57 of Mr. Sunder's report.—In these paragraphs Mr. Sunder calls some of the local zamindars “Chiefs,” a title to which they have no claim now. 7. Paragraph 61 of Mr. Sunder's report.—In this paragraph Mr. Sunder recommends that the sums now realised from markets should in future be expended on their improvement, instead of being credited, as at present, to miscellaneous land revenue. It will be sufficient if proper allotments be made on this account out of the Estates Improvement Fund on special reports sub- mitted by the Deputy Commissioner. Special orders by Government do not appear necessary. 8. Paragraphs 73 and 73(a) of Mr. Sunder's report.—The increase in cultivated area since the last settlement, taking dhankhet and bhita alone as cultivated lands has, according to Mr. Sunder, been 38,767:07 acres or 221 per cent. of the cultivated area found at the last settlement, the total area of such lands at the present settlement being 56,278.51 acres. Mr. Sunder says that the increase in cultivation of dhankhet or rice lands has been small owing to his having classified and assessed as 1st class bhita a considerable area of land entered by the amins in the khatians as 3rd class dhankhet. This he did, firstly, to remedy errors made at the time of survey in classification of soil, and, secondly, because the rates for 1st class bhita were more favourable to the tenants than those of the 3rd class rice lands. Moreover, the difference between 1st class bhita and 3rd class dhankhet is, Mr. Sunder states, so fine that he preferred to lean on the side of the tenants in this matter. This last remark, however, is not borne out by Appendices I to XVIII. They show that out of 399 villages settled in 56 the rent assessed on 3rd class rice lands was equal to that assessed on 1st class bhāta, in 31 it was 33 to 50 per cent. in excess, in 234 double, in 31 treble and in 5 villages four times that of 1st class bhita lands. The distinction, therefore, between 3rd class dhankhet and 1st class bhāţa lands in the majority of villages is not so fine as Mr. Sunder appears to think, though he is quite right in saying that the classification he has adopted is much in favour of the tenants. ( 2 ) 9. Paragraph 81.-The number of non-resident raiyats in this paragraph has been put down at 3,662. The correct number appears to be 3,622. This paragraph shows that when the last settlement was concluded there were only 5,476 raiyats, but their number has at the present settlement risen to 12,952, excluding rent-free holders. It will thus be seen that there has been an increase of 7,476 raiyats. Of the total number of raiyats 9,330 are resident and 3,622 non-resident. 10. Paragraphs 83 to 92.—The abwabs enumerated here are paid in jagirdari villages. It is satisfactory to learn that in only two Government villages Mr. Sunder found that the thiccadar annually levied any fees from the . for payment to the village “Baiga’’ for propitiating the village eities. 11. Paragraph 93.−With reference to this paragraph of the report the Deputy Commissioner states as follows:— - “This paragraph is liable to misconstruction. If Mr. Sunder wishes to imply that the Deputy Commissioner has no voice in the matter, his statements are altogether misleading. A transfer has never been recognised without the consent of the Deputy Commissioner. At the same time no obstacles are thrown in the way of the transfer of a holding if it is found that the transferee is a fit person to have the settlement, and then only, provided all rent due from the transferor has been paid.” The Deputy Commissioner's remarks apply equally to the practice in the Government khas mahals in the other districts, and generally to all zamindari estates throughout Chota Nagpur excepting only in the case of registered bhuinhari lands, where, I regret to say, the pernicious custom of free barter of lands appears to be creeping in. Clause 5 of the draft form of patta will, I hope, provide against this evil. 12. Paragraph 95.—Mr. Sunder is apparently unaware of the fact that assami is the term in ordinary use as designating a cultivator or raiyat in Hindi districts. It is only in Bengali-speaking parts of Bengal that it means an accused person. - 13. Paragraph 97.-Mr. Sunder omits to state that all the tenures men- tioned except khairat are resumable. This is not anywhere noticed in the report, though perhaps it might be inferred. At any rate it should be under- stood, and I see no reason under the circumstances for the proposed sanction being given by Government. - 14. Paragraph 98.—The Baigai and Pujari lands in Palamau correspond to the Pahanai (Dabkatari) and Panibhara lands in Lohardaga. They are the holdings given by the landlords to the village priests in remuneration for the worship of the village Bhuts, and are purely service lands which the holders have no right either to sell or mortgage. 15. Paragraph 101,–The Deputy Commissioner is in favour of resuming these chakran lands and assessing them to rent, the chaukidars being paid their salaries entirely in cash. I do not myself agree in the least with this proposal. The chaukidars set great store by their possession of these lands, and to deprive them of these service tenures would greatly diminish the value, in their eyes, of the office and the consequent hold we have over them. 16. Paragraphs 102 and 103.—It would seem from these paragraphs that Mr. Sunder is under the impression that the most important of the 51 khairat tenures mentioned in the statement given in paragraph 96 of his report were the subject of the enclosures to this office No. 799B., dated 17th August 1894, to Board. This is, however, not the case. The jagir and ijara tenures which were mentioned in the enclosures to this office letter referred to above are quite distinct from these 51 petty tenures. They are mostly large and exten- sive grants, sometimes comprising a number of villages, and formed the subject of enquiry by a special officer, and have all since been raised to the status of “estates.” They have nothing to do with the 51 petty tenures mentioned in paragraph 96. 17. Paragraph 116.-Mr. Sunder here states that the Palamau plough- man (harwah) takes the field at about 7 A.M., and seldom leaves it before 4 P.M. This, I believe, is opposed to the general custom prevalent in other parts of Chota Nagpur, where the ploughman begins his work early in the morning and continues ploughing till midday at the latest, giving his º cattle rest for the remainder of the day. 18. Paragraphs 164 and 786 of Mr. Sunder’s report.—Mr. Sunder here states that urid and rahar are exchanged by some of the Palamau raiyats with their mohajans “for an equal quantity of rice or salt.” This, I think, is a ( 3 ) r mistake, except perhaps during times of famine. The cereals urid and rahar may no doubt be exchanged for an equal quantity of rice; but salt in the interior never sells cheaper than 6 or 7 seers a rupee, whereas urid and rahar are usually twice or three times as cheap as this. He is, however, quite right in saying that salt is usually bartered in exchange for grain in the village markets. 19. Paragraph 246 of Mr. Sunder's report.—Mr. Sunder here gives an account of the manufacture of country guns. He says, “country guns are found all over the district, and are made by gunsmiths who sell them according to length of the barrel, the rate being a rupee per span.” The Deputy Com- missioner has already been asked for a full report on this subject. 20. Paragraphs 251 and 252 of Mr. Sunder's report.—It is stated here that tassar cocoons where found attached to inaccessible parts of an Asan tree are generally removed by cutting off the branches, and that even when the cocoons can be easily reached, the natives prefer to lop off branches wholesale in order to collect them. The destruction of the tree is, Mr. Sunder says, so great and unnecessary, that he thinks it would be a wise policy to stop the farming of koa altogether. I am inclined to think that Mr. Sunder takes a very exaggerat- ed view of this matter; but a special report on the subject will be called for from the Deputy Commissioner. As regards the rest of Mr. Sunder’s remarks in this paragraph, there seems no reason why, under the Protected Forest Rules, koa settlements should not, in future, be made. 21. Paragraph 255 of Mr. Sunder's report.—The question here raised seems to be one for the Forest Department to decide. The Deputy Commissioner on this subject remarks as follows:– “This year, I understand, the Forest Officer has succeeded in settling khair trees in the Protected Forests for the manufacture of catechu for Rs. 1,200. I do not agree that the cutting of these trees should be altogether stopped.” 22. Paragraph 287 (a) of the report.—Mr. Sunder here gives a description of the khamia system, and urges that Government should take steps to ameliorate the condition of the khamias by causing fair rates of wages to be fixed for them. . The picture given here seems somewhat overdrawn, in respect, at any rate, of gazetted officers on tour, who, I know, as a fact, are particularly careful to see that proper rates are paid to their coolies. That there are great abuses by underlings and other irresponsible persons is no doubt true, but there is every reason to hope that, as the country becomes properly opened out and the people better aware of their rights, the system of forced labour will die out of itself without the necessity of any interference on the part of Government. 23. Paragraph 324.—Mr. Sunder is correct in stating that chak Chappar- . was excluded from the settlement under my orders. The facts were as OILOWS :- In 1837 the village of Pathria, together with the chak in question, were resumed on behalf of Government as invalid lakhiraj holdings under Regula- tion II of 1819, from the ancestors of one Mussamat Dhulin Dharam Nath Koer, who were also elaquadars of the adjoining mauza Danda. After the resumption, one Lalla Radha Kissen obtained the thicca from Government for a period of 22 years, viz., from 1837-38 to 1859-60. The thiccadar did not, however, ever succeed in obtaining possession of the area of 1364 bighas, com- prising the chak in question, which continued throughout in the possession of Mussamat Dharam Nath Koer, the holder of village Danda, notwithstanding the thiccadar's successive attempts to oust her. Under the circumstances, I directed, on objection by the adverse holder, that the disputed area should be struck out of Mr. Sunder's settlement, and at the same time I asked the Deputy Commis- sioner whether there was any evidence to establish the claim of Government to the disputed area after so long dispossession. The Deputy Commissioner, after consulting the Government Pleader of Lohardaga, reported that a suit for the recovery of possession of the disputed land could not succeed, and the matter has not therefore been carried further. 24. Paragraph 336 of the report.—Here Mr. Sunder says that a mistake has been committed in attempting to classify both lowlands and uplands. He would have classified both uplands and lowlands into only two classes. Mr. Sunder says that the raiyats themselves are unable to classify their lands with- out considerable hesitation and difficulty, and that in his opinion it would have been better to have the revenue assessed according to the soil of each field or according to the classification which the majority of the tenants understood. In reference to these remarks, I may note that, in the two districts of Hazaribagh and Lohardaga which adjoin Palamau, the recognised division of both uplands ( 4 ) and lowlands is invariably into three classes, and this was accepted by Mr. Slack in all the important settlements conducted and concluded by him whilst employed as Divisional Settlement Officer of this Division. Personally, I have no experience of the Palamau lands, but I am assured that in Manbhum and Lohardaga the distinction between 1st, 2nd and 3rd class lands (both rice lands and uplands) is so marked that there is no difficulty in distinguishing the one from the other, and that the raiyats themselves quite understand the difference. 25. Paragraphs 346 and 347.-I see no reason to think that the raiyats will misunderstand our giving them pattas, and I consider it, for many reasons, advisable, both in the interests of the raiyats themselves and in those of Govern- ment, that the usual procedure in this matter should be observed. 26. Paragraphs 356 and 358, show that the rental of the estate, as fixed by Messrs. Hewitt and Forbes, was Rs. 40,843. This amount was increased by the thiccadars to Rs. 57,693. The rent now assessed is Rs. 74,433. The increase on the rent of last settlement is, therefore, 82 per cent, and that on attested rent (Rs. 57,693) 29 per cent. This increase Mr. Sunder attributes entirely to increase in cultivation since the last settlement. In paragraph 357 he gives a tabular statement from which it would appear that the increase in cultivation has been about 221 per cent, viz., 32 per cent. in rice lands and 501 per cent. bhita or uplands. The area of cultivation by the last survey (by Mr. Forbes) is given in column 5 of the tabular statement referred to above. I do not, however, understand where Mr. Sunder has obtained his figures. In column 13 of Table iII appended to Mr. Forbes' final report, the total cultivated area in the 17 iuppahs settled by him is shown at 43,426 acres, whereas the cultivated area “by last survey” shown in column 5 of Mr. Sunder's statement (vide paragraph 357) is only 17,511 acres. That the figures shown in column 5 of Mr. Sunder's statement are apparently incorrect is further borne out by the fact that, whereas in paragraph 583 of Mr. Forbes' final report the area of rice lands alone in tuppah Tuppa alone is stated to be 644 acres, Mr. Sunder has entered only 485 acres as the area of dhankhet lands “by last survey,” against the said tuppah. Again, in paragraph 604 of Mr. Forbes' final report the area of rice lands in tuppah Bari at the time of the last settlement has * I note, however, that this does not been stated to be 4,726* aCreS, but Mr. Sunder has agree with the figures in column 13 of put it down at only 1908:26 8,OI’eS. I give below Mr. Forbes’ Table III. in juxtaposition the total cultivated areas in acres in the several tuppahs as given in statement III appended to Mr. Forbes' report and the areas shown in Mr. Sunder's statement.

That the figures shown in column 13 of Mr. Forbes’ Table III are given in acres may be presumed from the headings of columns 14 and 16 of the table. I am sending an extract of this paragraph to Mr. Sunder with the request that he will submit any explanation he may have to give of the discrepancies noticed above, forwarding a copy at the same time for your information. 27. Paragraph 367-It is possible that the kists might with advantage be recast. The present Deputy Commissioner seems to be of this opinion. I will discuss the matter with Mr. Beachcroft when I visit Palamau during the cold weather. 28. Paragraph 374.—The questions here referred to are being separately discussed between yourself, this office and the Board of Revenue, and need not be considered here. I would only remark that Mr. Sunder, in recommending the extension of the Maintenance of Records Act, III(B.C.) of 1895, to Palamau, is writing of a matter of which, I believe, he has no experience. I have no doubt myself that the measure, amongst the aboriginal and semi-aboriginal cultivators in Palamau, would be perfectly futile. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DEPARTMENT OF LAND RECORDS AND AGRICULTURE, BENGAL. No. 329S. FROM P. C. LYON, Esq., 1.c.s., Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal, To THE SECRETARY to THE BOARD of REVENUE, L. P. A Dated Calcutta, the 21st February, 1899. SIR, I HAVE the honour to submit herewith the final report of the settlement of the Government estates in Palamau, and to express my regret for the delay that has occurred in its submission. For that delay, however, my office is not wholly responsible. Although the report bears date the 24th October, 1897, the full and complete version of it was not ready on that date, and it was not until August of the following year that the report was received in its final form from the printer's hands. The correction of the proofs was a troublesome task, and Mr. Sunder found it difficult, consistently with the due discharge of his other duties, to deal with them promptly. In July of 1897 fair proofs were sent for criticism by the local officers, and the Commissioner's remarks on the report, copy of which is herewith forwarded, were not laid before me until the commencement of December last. 2. The Government estates in the Palamau district which have been brought under survey and settlement are comprised in 399 villages with an area of 426 square miles. Of this area, 294 square miles of cultivated and occupied lands were cadastrally surveyed, a traverse survey only being made of the remaining 131 square miles of jungle and was’e lands. The area cadas. trally surveyed was found to be held by 15,763 tenants, including under- raiyats, and the aggregate existing rents attested amounted to Rs. 57,693. These rents were raised during the settlement to Rs. 74,433, or by 29 per cent., the increase over the rents fixed at the last settlement in 1871, which amounted to Rs. 40,843, being 82 per cent. The incidence of rent after the conclusion of the present settlement amounts to no more than Re. 1-2.6 per cultivated acre, which is certainly moderate. The survey operations commenced in July 1893, when the traverse survey was begun by Mr. L. F. Berkeley of the Imperial Survey Department, and the work was concluded by the submission of the final report by the Settlement Officer Mr. Donald Sunder in October 1897. The total cost incurred amounted to Rs. 79,165 for traverse and cadastral survey and khanapuri, and Rs. 40,387 for attestation and assessment, or Rs. 1,19,552 in all, which gives a rate of 7 annas per acre on the whole area, or 10 annas 2 pies on the area cadastrally surveyed. 3. I believe that the Board will find Mr. Sunder's report a full and interesting one, and will agree with the Commissioner and myself in thinking that the mass of information contained in the lengthy Appendices attached to it is well worthy of permanent record. The map which has been prepared, under Mr. Sunder's direction, to illustrate the report, and the encyclopaedic information contained in the report itself as to the physical features of the country, its agricultural conditions, the flora and fauna found in it, and the habits and customs of the people, cannot fail to be of great value to the administration. I would, however, call attention to the criticisms which have been made by the Commissioner in some matters of detail which would appear ( 2 ) to show that, if Mr. Sunder had had a longer experience of the district, his views on some points would have been expressed with greater moderation, and would have in consequence been more trustworthy. - 4. The first fifteen chapters of the report, containing 287 paragraphs, are devoted to a general description of the tract under settlement, its physical features, the population and its castes, the material condition of the people, their trades and manufuctures and the agriculture practised by them. Mr. Sunder's remarks and recommendations on the subject of irrigation have already been noted by the Commissioner, who has taken action upon them; but it may be hoped that the proposal to move a certain carved stone gateway from Palamau to Daltonganj will not be pressed, as the practical or artistic expediency of such a proceeding seems open to question. In para- graphs 71 to 73 (a), and again in paragraph 357, Mr. Sunder gives figures to show the increase in cultivated area since the previous settlement, which are not only difficult to reconcile with the figures in Mr. Forbes' report on that settlement, as has been pointed out by the Commissioner, but also appear to be inconsistent with the figures given by Mr. Sunder himself in the rate report submitted by him to Government. The explanation asked for by the Commis- sioner has not as yet reached me, and I will enquire further for it, but in the meantime the figures appear open to doubt. 5. The detailed information on agricultural subjects contained in para- graphs 109 to 241 of the report, combined with the further information contained in the Appendices, afford us a graphic picture of the daily life of a cultivator in this district, and give much insight into his wants and his resources, while supply- ing evidence at the same time of much patient industry on the part of the Settle- ment Officer, and much intelligent sifting of the information obtained by him. These paragraphs form a model of the use to which the valuable material avail- able to all Settlement Officers may be put, and of the practical advantages that may be realised for administrators in the future through the opportunities that such officers obtain for ascertaining the realities of the life of the peoples among whom they are labouring. 6. Part II of the report, which deals with the fiscal history of the tract under settlement, is sufficient; but Part III, in which the actual account is given of the survey and settlement operations, contains scant notice of the important work done by the Survey Department and by Mr. Bright, the Deputy Com- missioner, in the years 1892-93 and 1894, and but little information as to the survey of the estates and the preparation of the records for them. Whereas it had been originally intended that a Settlement Officer should be appointed at the commencement of the operations for the organisation and direction of the work from the beginning, practically the whole of the survey and record writing was done by the Survey Department under Mr. Bright's super- vision, while the system of attestation was also laid down in rules by that officer, before any Settlement Officer was appointed. In these circumstances, I am bound to say that the isolated quotation made by Mr. Sunder, in paragraph 311 of his report, from a letter written by Mr. Bright two and-a-half years before Mr. Sunder's appointment, can hardly be held applicable to that appointment, seeing that in the meantime much of the work of organisation had been completed, and many of the most serious problems raised by the work had already been disposed of. I do not wish to prejudice the excellent and indefatigable work done by Mr. Sunder, but a careful perusal of the corres- pondence relating to the early stages of the work, when opposition and friction were most to be looked for, and many difficulties had to be faced, goes far to show that the conciliatory attitude of the raiyats, and the ultimate success of the settlement, were due in no small measure to the excellent work done by the Survey Department under the detailed guidance and supervision of Mr. Bright, whose unrivalled knowledge of the people of the district proved of the utmost assistance to the operations. And it must also be noted that, during the whole of this period, the progress of the work was carefully watched by Colonel Sandeman, Director of Bengal Surveys, and by my predecessor, Mr. Macpherson, who constantly advised the local officers and brought their experience of other settlements to bear upon the work. 7. The first proposals for the survey and settlement of these estates are contained in Mr. Bright's letter No. 77 R., dated 29th April, 1892, in which all the main points which afterwards became the subject of prolonged correspond- ence were touched upon, and a complete review of the existing position of ( 3 ) affairs in the estates was given. Owing to the difficulty found by Govern- ment in providing officers and funds for the operations, however, their initiation was postponed until July, 1893, when traverse work was commenced with a view to the completion of the cadastral survey of the estates in the survey year 1893-94. During this year, commencing on 1st October, 1893, very subs- tantial progress was made, though the original programme was not work- ed up to. The traverse survey was completed and the cadastral survey and khanapuri of some 210 villages out of 399 were carried through. Some small amount of attestation was also done by an Assistant Settlement Officer, Babu Rameswar Pershad, who was appointed for this purpose and for the in- spection of khanapuri work. The rules for both khanapuri and attestation were prepared by Mr. Bright, and an excellent report was submitted by him at the close of the year. Much difficulty was found in pressing on the work owing to the slowness of the local amins employed, and the discovery that a far larger proportion of the area of the estates was under cultivation than had been expected. As was recognized by Mr. Macpherson, my predecessor at the time, the work of completing the records had been made plain for the Settlement Officer by Mr. Bright before that officer came on the scene. 8. Mr. Sunder joined his appointment in November, 1894, and while khanapuri and attestation work proceeded on the lines previously laid down for it, he did much to press on the latter work and prepare the way for the sub- mission of his rate report, which was sent in by him in August, 1895. At- testation work was completed in the course of this survey year, 1894-95, and, after that, the work remaining to be done was the calculation and introduction of the new rents at the rates sanctioned by Government, the distribu- tion to the raiyats of their fihrists or extracts from the jamabandi, the settlement of the Government miscellaneous demand, the final winding up of the settlement, and the submission of the completion report. This work, however, took from September, 1895, to October, 1897, the abnormal delay being due to many causes, of which the chief were the prosecution of certain enquiries made by Government relative to the settlement of mis- cellaneous revenue, which delayed the issue of their orders on this subject until August, 1896, and the deputation of the Settlement Officer on famine duty from February, 1897, up to July in the same year. As Mr. Sunder was º during a great part of the time in demarcating the areas to be regarded as protected forests, and in other miscellaneous enquiries, and was also given time to collect much of the valuable information incorporated by him in his report, the delay is not altogether to be regretted. 9. In paragraph 336 of his report Mr. Sunder has quoted from his rate report his interesting criticism of the system of classification of lands adopted in this survey, and, although the soundness of this criticism is challenged by the Commissioner, it is consistent with such experience as I have had in other parts of Bengal, where it has been too often assumed that the elaborate classi- fication of lands adopted by zamindars and patwaris is recognised by the raiyats and understood by them. In North Bihar there is little doubt that the classification is resorted to in many cases solely for the purposes of an illegal enhancement of rents, and I have frequently ascertained that the raiyats themselves were quite unable to classify their lands without the assistance of the landlord’s agent and his books, and that frequently that agent himself could not distribute the lands on the ground in their alleged classes. 10. The account given by Mr. Sunder in paragraph 337 of the enquiries made by him in connection with his assessment of rents shows much sound appreciation of the difficulties with which he had to contend and intelligence in meeting them, but the subsequent paragraphs 339 to 344, in the Chapter on “Fixation of Rates,” give a very inadequate account of the proceedings that led up to the final sanction by Government of the rates proposed by Mr. Sunder. In the original rate report submitted by Mr. Sunder in August, 1895, it was stated that the rates he was proposing were practically the same as those of Mr. Forbes' settlement, and this statement, and some others con- tained in the report, were adversely criticised by the Deputy Commissioner when forwarding the report. On receiving a proof copy of his report for correction, Mr. Sunder revised it in many respects, and modified his previous statement as to the rates proposed by him, inserting arguments and figures to show that they were 44 per cent. in excess of Mr. Forbes' rates in dhanhar lands and 10 per cent. in excess in bhita lands. When the rate ( 4 ) report was subsequently dealt with by the Board, this large increase in rates was severely criticised, and the various assertions made by Mr. Sunder as to his proposal coming at the same time to their notice, Mr. Sunder was called down to Calcutta to explain them. It appears that Mr. Sunder then satisfied the Board that, as is shown by the results of the settle- ment, there had been no practical enhancement of rates, and his rates were accordingly accepted. Mr. Sunder has not, however, as far as I am aware, explained how his statements in his rate report as to his enhancement of Mr. Forbes' rates are to be reconciled either with his subsequent explanations to the Board or the facts disclosed by the results of the assessment. There is also, as noted by me in paragraph 3 above, some confusion between the rate report and the final report in the matter of increase of cultivation. The assess- ment of rents was not, on the whole, such a difficult or elaborate piece of work as it has been made to appear, there being little actual change made in the rates, and the whole enhancement working out to 32 per cent. over the existing rent, a sufficient but normal increase, fully justified by the rapid extension of cultivation. 11. The orders of Government, referred to in paragraph 363 of the report, relative to the assessment of trees, were preceded by lengthy corre- spondence on the subject, which waa concluded by Mr. Marindin’s exhaustive report, contained in his letter No. 453L.R., dated 19th June, 1896, on the whole subject of the settlement of this important item of miscellaneous revenue. Mr. Marindin’s recommendations were accepted in all respects. 12. There was also much correspondence on the subject of the introduc- tion of khas management in the place of the thikadari system which was pre- viously in force. The first recommendations for this change were made by Mr. Bright in January, 1895, when he received the support of Mr. Sunder, Mr. Grimley and my predecessor, Mr. Macpherson. On a further report being called for, Mr. Sunder, in October, 1895, urged the retention of the thihadars, but Mr. Streatfeild, who had succeeded Mr. Bright as Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Grimley and Mr. Marindin again pressed for the introduction of khas management, which was ultimately sanctioned by Government. This question is referred to by the Settlement Officer in paragraph 365 of his report. 13. The important question of the maintenance of the records, on which Mr. Sunder makes certain suggestions in paragraph 374, is now under my con- sideration, and I am to meet the Commissioner at Daltonganj early in March next to decide on the system to be adopted. It is clear that the proposal made by the Settlement Officer for the introduction of the Land Records Mainte- nance Act, III (B.C.) of 1895, is not a suitable one; and as it seemed advisable both to Mr. Forbes and myself that we should deal with the question on the spot, it has been impossible for me to avoid the delay that has occurred in disposing of the reference made to me on the subject by the Board. - 14. As I have pointed out above, much of the success of the settlement is due to the admirable work done by Mr. Bright in organising the proceed- ings from the beginning. Mr. L. F. Berkeley’s labours also merit recognition at our hands, and Babu Ramesvar Pershad, the Assistant Settlement Officer, did good work. Mr. Sunder was unfortunately unable to secure the full co-opera- tion of local officers that he might otherwise have enjoyed, owing to his serious differences with the Forest Department and the Survey Department, and with two at least of the Deputy Commissioners with whom he worked. But in spite of these difficulties his indefatigable industry, his tact in dealing with the people, and his knowledge of the lequirements of the work were conspicuous in his conduct of the operations, and the report which I now submit bears evidence of the enduring value of the results attained by him. I have the honour to be, SIR, Your most obedient servant, P. C. LYON, Director of the Dept. of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal. T. N. R.-Reg. No. 66100–171–22-2 99. No. 388A. From F. A. SLACK, Esq., - Secretary to the Board of Revenue, L.P., To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT of BENGAL, Revenue DePARTMENT. Dated Calcutta, the 30th March 1899. LAND REVENUE. (Surveys and Settlements.) SIR, I AM directed to submit herewith, for the consideration and The Hon’ble MR. G. T orders of Government, a copy of the final ****** ***** report, dated the 24th October 1897, on the survey and settlement of the Palamau Government estate, together with the remarks made thereon by the Commissioner of Chota Nagpur in his letter No. 736.L.R., dated the 16th November 1898, to the address of the Director of Land Records, Bengal, and the latter's review recorded in his letter No. 329S., dated the 21st February 1899. The very great delay which has occurred in submitting the final report has been explained by Mr. Lyon in paragraph 1 of his covering letter, but the Board are constrained to remark that the explana- tion is not wholly satisfactory and that such delays should be avoided in future. 2. The district of Palamau, comprising an area of about 4,905 square miles, contains four parganas, viz., Palamau, Japla, Belounja, and Tori. The pargana of Palamau was taken possession of by the British Government in A.D. 1773, and several settlements were successively made with the old Chero rulers of the pargana for the payment of revenue assessed. The pargana became a Government estate by right of purchase at an auction sale for arrears of revenue in A.D. 1812. It was granted in 1816 to Raja Fatteh Narayan Sing of Deo, a the Gaya district, and to his son, Ghanesam Sing, for loyal services rendered; but owing to the oppressions of the Raja's agents, a revolt broke out, and Government resumed the estate in 1818, revoking its deed of grant and allowing the Raja a remission of Rs. 3,000 a year from the revenue of his Bihar estates by way of compensation. The old Chero rulers of the estate had created many jagirs and other tenures resumable on failure of male heirs of the grantees, and kept a portion of the pargana as khalsa or personal property. The Government stepping into the rights of these rulers did not press their rights to resume these jagirs and other tenures, but settled the khalsa villages from time to time. The question of the resumption of the jagirs and other tenures has been finally settled in Government order No. 3917, dated the 14th August 1895, under which they have been raised to the status of estates, and the Government has abandoned their claims to resume them. The last regular raiyatwari settlement of the khalsa villages of the Palamau pargana was made by Mr. Forbes for thirty years. It expired on the 31st of March 1894; but under Government order No. 728T.R., dated the 6th October 1892, the settlement was renewed from year to year until March 1896, when the thihadari or farming system was abolished, and khas management introduced with effect from the 1st of April 1896, but with permission to settle with such individual thikadars as might have special claims to consideration on account of long ancestral connec- tions with the village or of extensive improvements effected by them or by their predecessors. The increased rentals caused by the present settlement have taken effect since September 1896, the beginning of the Fasli year, that being the era current in Palamau. 3. The proposals for the survey and settlement of the khalsa villages of the Palamau Government estate were sanctioned in Government order No. 277 L.R., dated the 16th of January 1894, and the main principles for carry- ing out the work were settled in Government order No. 840L. R., dated the 14th of February 1894 The survey operations under Act V (B.C.) of 1875 were commenced, in anticipation of Government sanction, in July 1893 under the supervision of Mr. L. F. Berkeley of the Imperial Survey Department, º ( 2 ) and ended by the 12th of June 1896. Record-writing and attestation proceeded simultaneously, the latter having been begun on the 6th of August 1894 by Babu Ramesvar Persad, kanungo, under the supervision of Mr. W. R. Bright, Deputy Commissioner. Mr. Donald Sunder, Deputy Collector, took charge of the settlement on the 17th of November 1894. He submitted his rate report in August 1895, settled rents under Act VIII (B.C.) of 1873 by the end of April 1896, published his jamabandis in August following, and, having issued ſerists or extracts thereof to the raiyats, closed the work by submitting his final report in October 1897. The slow progress in the interval between the submission of the rate report and the completion of the work has been fully explained by the Director in paragraph 8 of his covering letter. 4. The Palamau estate as now surveyed and settled comprises 399 villages with an area of 425 square miles, of which 294 square miles, cadastrall surveyed, are cultivated and occupied, and 131 square miles, traverse . are jungle and waste. The cultivated area was found to be occupied by 15,763 tenants, inclusive of 2,519 under-raiyats. At Mr. Forbes' settlement the rent settled amounted to Rs. 40,843. His assessment was based on the pariadari and uttakar systems of settlement, as explained in paragraph 309 of the final report, and on the classified rates fixed by him (vide paragraph 624 of Mr. Forbes' report). He settled the lands with the cultivators or raiyats, but over them were placed thikadars or farmers, who were paid 10 to 15 per cent. commission on their rent collections, supplemented in some cases by grants of manſhas, presumably the nij jote lands, which latter have been resumed and assessed to rent at the present settlement. By the simple expedient of abolishing these rates and ignoring the distinction between the two systems above referred to, and thus settling the relinquished and new lands at higher rates, the thikadars forced up Mr. Forbes' settled rental of Rs. 40,843 to Rs. 57,693, which at attestation time in the present proceedings was recorded as the total of the existing rents. In the settlement under discussion this rental has been raised to Rs. 74,433, or by 29 per cent. over the existing rents and 82 per cent. over those settled by Mr. Forbes. The increase is chiefly due to extension of cultivation. An additional assessment of Rs. 3,270 has also been imposed on mohua trees, and of Rs. 10,087 on lac-bearing trees, which latter have been temporarily settled for one year only. The gross revenue has thus been raised from Rs. 57,693 to Rs. 87,790, and as this increase has been attained without any friction with the tenants, it cannot but be called most satisfactory. 5. The incidence of the present settled rent per cultivated acre works out, on the other hand, to Re. 1-2-6, and the Board agree with the Director that this average is moderate. Besides this moderate rate the raiyats, whether rent-paying or not, have for the first time been granted some mohua trees, such having previously been all settled with the farmers, and those that are resident have further obtained 0-19 acre each of gharbari land rent-free. The benefits of the Tenancy Act as regards occupancy right have, moreover, been extended to them in the record of their rights and Paragraphs 71 and 79 of the final - - - grap status, as will appear from the appended classi- report. fication :- Aggregate | Average Average Number cultivated l area of Rents Rents settled CLAss of CULTIvators. of area held | cultivated - . - ttled rent per | REMARKs, holdings. by each lands per existing.

The aggregate cultivated area (65,546 acres), as shown in column 3 of - the above statement, which has been taken from statements in paragraphs 71 and 79 of the final report, does not tally with that shown in column 4 of the statement in paragraph 78 of the report. The local officers will be asked to explain the discrepancy and to report whether the cultivated area, as shown includes homesteads, &c., seeing that the net cropped area amounts to 56,278 acres only (paragraph 74 of the final report). 6. It was originally estimated that the total cost would amount to Rs. 56,344, viz., Rs. 42,663 for survey and Rs. 13,681 for settlement, and that the settlement operations would be completed in two years, i.e., 1893-94 and 1894-95. The actual expenditure has amounted to Rs. 79,165 for survey, or annas 4 pies 8 per acre over the whole area, and annas 6 and pies 9 per cultivated acre, and Rs. 40,387 for settlement, or annas 2 pies 4 per acre generally, and annas 3 pies 5 per cultivated acre. The total costs incurred aggregate Rs. 1,19,552, or annas 7 per acre, taking the whole area, and annas 10 pies 2 per cultivated acre. The actual expenditure has thus been more than double that originally estimated, and the time occupied, viz., from July 1893, to October 1897, has also been more than double. "Mr. Sunder did not prepare the original estimate, which was based on the assumption that only 110 square miles of cultivated area would have to be cadastrally surveyed and settled, whereas the actual area so dealt with has turned out to be 294 square miles, i.e., more than double the quantity estimated for, which sufficiently explains the variation between the actuals and the original estimate of the cost and time. 7. Subject to the remarks of Mr. Lyon in paragraph 6 of his letter of the 21st of February 1899 about the incompleteness of Part III of the final report, and in paragraph 10 about the inadequate account in paragraphs 339 to 344 of the report of the rates adopted, the Board agree with him in thinking - that the report is full and interesting. They await, however, further explana- tion (i) as to the discrepancies about the increase in the cultivated area dealt with in paragraphs 71 to 73(a) and paragraph 357 of the final report, and noticed in paragraphs 8 and 26 of the Commissioner's letter and in para- graph 4 of the Director's letter, and (ii) as to the discrepant statement in the rate report and the final report regarding the rates adopted, as noticed in paragraph 10 of the Director's letter. 8. The Board also agree with the remarks made by Mr. Lyon on Mr. Sunder's criticism of the system of classification of lands in paragraph 336 - of his final report. 9. In paragraph 346 of the final report, Mr. Sunder appears to think that pattas need not be given to the raiyats. The Commissioner, however, considers it advisable that, both in the interests of Government and of the raiyats, pattas should be distributed (paragraphs 11 and 25 of the Commissioner's remarks). The Board find that under the law [section 5 of Act I (B.C.) of 1879] every raiyat is entitled on demand to receive a patta, and that its contents, as laid down in the section, are not contained in the ſerist already given to the raiyat, as set forth on page 75 of the final report. Considering, therefore, the require- ments of the law and the remark of the Settlement Officer, the Board have come to the conclusion (i) that a patta should be given to every raiyat who ma demandit, but that there should be no general distribution of pattas, and (ii) that should any village be hereafter let to a thikadar, then a patia should be given to each raiyat before possession is given to the thikadar. The accompanying draft form of the patta was submitted, but further explanations have been called for in connection with clauses 5 and 15 thereof, on receipt of which - a separate report will be submitted to Government. 10. The estate has been settled raiyatwari for 15 years, with effect from - September 1896. 11. The land revenue is to be paid in three kists or instalments, but the rents on the mohua and lac-bearing trees are, it is presumed, to be paid in one instalment. The four-anna kist due on the 25th of October is paid from the sale- proceeds of the bhadoi crops, the eight-anna kist of the 28th of January is paid from the paddy and other kharif crops, and the last four-anna kist, which is due on the 28th of March and along with which the rents for mohua and lac-bearing trees are presumably paid, is paid from the sale-proceeds of the rabi crops, as well as those of the mohua and lac-trees. The Settlement Officer says that the balances that occur at the end of the year are due to the kists being inconvenient for the payment of rent. In connection with the last four-annakist date of 28th March, he remarks that the rabi crops—mohua and lac, from the sale-proceeds of which it is supposed to be paid—are not ready for the markets until the end of April or May, and the whole revenue is pretty nearly realizable by July of each year. The Commissioner, however, proposes in paragraph 27 of his letter to discuss the matter on the spot with the Deputy Commissioner. The Board will invite his attention to paragraphs 659 and 660 of Mr. Forbes' report and await his separate report on the subject. - 12. On the question of the maintenance of records, the Settlement Officer has made certain alternative proposals in paragraph 374 of the final report. The importance of the question depends much on the free or restricted transfer of holdings noticed in paragraph 93 of the final report and paragraph 11 of the Commissioner's letter. In paragraph 306 of the final report, the Settlement Officer says he has been unable to elicit any information as to the extent to which raiyati rights have been transferred during the term of the last settle- ment. In paragraph 13 of his letter, the Director proposes to decide, after personal communication with the Commissioner, the system to be followed with regard to the maintenance of the records. The Board consider it premature to make any remarks or proposals on this important point, and they await a special report from the Director on the subject. 13. The Board agree with the remarks made by the Commissioner— (i) that improvement of the markets should be made out of allotments from the management grant on special reports from the Deputy Commissioner (vide paragraph 7 of his letter); (ii) that the service tenures, referred to in paragraph 97 of the final report, being resumable by Government need not be specially sanctioned (paragraph 13 of his letter); (iii) that the chaukidari chakran lands, which the Board observe from the table at paragraph 96 of the final report, amount to only 29 acres, and could only be assessed at Rs. 107 if resumed, need not be resumed (paragraph 13 of his letter); (iv) that the khairat tenures mentioned in paragraphs 96, 102 and 103 of the final report are different from those disposed of in Government order No. 3917, dated 14th August 1895, as noticed in paragraph 2 above (paragraph 16 of his letter); (v) that the question of the settlement of khair trees is one for the Forest Department to decide (vide his paragraph 21); and (vi) that the system of forced labour, referred to in paragraph 287(a) of the final report, will die out of itself without any interference on the part of Government (paragraph 22 of his letter). 14. The Board would, however, invite the Commissioner's attention to the recommendations of the Settlement Officer on the following points:— (i) Periodical inspection and report by the Sub-Deputy Collector in charge of the estate and the tahsildars under him as to the con- dition of the permanent boundary marks (wide paragraph 375 of the final report). (ii) Sale of hides and transfer of wild animals captured to the Calcutta Zoological Gardens (vide page ceiv, Appendix XX to the final report). (iii) Prohibition of the slaughter of certain birds (vide page cov, - Appendix XXI to the final report). - 15. The Board await separate reports from the Commissioner on the following points:— - (*) Irrigation proposals of the Settlement Officer, referred to in para- graphs 3 and 4 of his letter. (ii) Farming of Koa (vide paragraph 20 of his letter). 16. I am to invite the attention of Government to paragraph 19 of the Commissioner's letter and to the action taken by him on the subject of the manufacture of country guns, referred to in paragraph 246 of the final report. ( 5 ) 17. There are some clerical errors in the final report, among which the following are noticeable:– (i) The headings of columns 10 to 13 of the statement in paragraph 77 should be “ of cultivable area.” (ii) In paragraph 81 the number of non-resident raiyats should be 3,622, and not 3,662. - (iii) In paragraph 373 the rate of settlement cost on entire area should be annas 2 pies 4, and not annas 2.4. 18. In conclusion, I am to say that the Board agree with the Director that much of the success of the settlement is due to the admirable work done by Mr. Bright in organising the proceedings from the beginning, and that the general results of the survey and settlement are highly creditable to the Settle- ment Officer, Mr. Donald Sunder, who has since been specially protnoted. The Board are also glad to acknowledge the services rendered by Mr. L. F. Berkeley and Babu Ramesvar Persad. The settlement has successfully stood the tests of appeals and of actual collections. Appeals were preferred to the Commis- sioner, so far as the Board are aware, only in two cases, (against the classifica- tion of soils), and resulted in their rejection. As regards collection, the results shown in paragraphs 366 to 368 of the final report and the explanations given as to how and why the balances occurred will, the Board think, be con- sidered satisfactory.

READ– The Final Report on the settlement of the Palamau Government Estate in the district of Palamau. - Read also— Letters No. 288A, dated the 30th March 1899, from the Board of Revenue, No. 329S., dated the 21st February 1899, from the Director of Land Records, and No. 736.L.R., dated the 16th November 1898, from the Commissioner of the Chota Nagpur Division, reviewing the Settlement Officer's Final Report. Letter No. 569A., dated the 15th June 1899, from the Board of Revenue, on the subject of the grant of pattas to the raiyats. THE new settlement of the Palamau Government estate began to take effect from September 1896, but the report of the Settlement Officer, which bears date the 24th October 1897, reached Government on the 7th April 1899. It appears that the correction of the proofs was much delayed owing to the want of time on the part of the officer engaged on the work, so that the final copies were not issued until August 1898. Considerable delay also occurred in the submission of the remarks of the Divisional Commissioner. The Lieutenant-Governor, agreeing with the Board, is unable to regard the explanation offered as wholly satisfactory. Notwithstanding certain inaccuracies noticed by the Commissioner of the Division, the Report with its appendices contains much interesting information relating to the physical features of the country, its agriculture, the habits and customs of the people, and other matters. But the accounts given in it of the traverse and cadastral survey, the preparation of the records, and the determination of the rates of rent, are meagre, and much too little has been said of the valuable work done by the Deputy Commissioner, Mr. W. R. Bright, who fully discussed every important question which came before Government in connection with the settlement, and by whom the proceedings were organised from the beginning, and practically the whole of the survey and record- writing and some part of the attestation supervised. 2. The Government estate, the settlement of which forms the subject of the present report, lies in pargana Palamau, part of the district of the same name. This tract, a hilly and wild region, was conquered from its Chero rulers in 1773 A.D. After several successive settlements made with the descendants of the old Rajas, the estate was purchased by Government in 1812 at an auction sale for arrears of revenue. In 1816 it was granted to the Raja of Deo, in the district of Gaya, as a reward for loyal services rendered, but was resumed in 1818 in consequence of oppression on the part of the Raj agents, a remission of Rs. 3,000 a year from the revenue of his Bihar estates being allowed to the Raja by way of compensation. 3. The native rulers of Palamau had alienated a large part of the pargana as jagirs and other tenures granted at quit-rents, subject to a right of re-entry ( 2 ) in default of heirs male. Government on acquiring the rights of the old Rajas did not resume these tenures. After a searching enquiry made in 1893-94, they have been recognised as estates, permanent, heritable, and transferable: and the right of Government to resume on failure of male heirs has been abandoned once for all. The villages not so given away, known as khalsa or personal villages, constitute the Government estate, which has been settled raiyatwari from time to time, with thikadars to collect the rents from the raiyats. - 4. The last regular settlement was commenced in 1864 and completed in 1872. The total number of villages settled was 401 with a total area of 273,635.81 acres (or 427°55 square miles), out of which 30 villages were subsequently included in the Palamau Reserved Forests, while 12 were added to the roll by resumption or jungle-clearing. The terms of settlement of the several villages were so flººd as to expire simultaneously on the 31st March 1894; but, when the resettlement operations were in progress the existing settlement was extended to the 31st March 1896 in order to admit of the completion of the proceedings. 5, Proposals for a resettlement of the estate were submitted to Govern- ment in September 1892, but the survey was not commenced until July 1893. The traverse survey was practically completed in the survey year 1893-94. Cadastral survey was commenced in November 1893, but, owing in great part to the slowness of the local Kol amins, was protracted till the end of the survey year 1894-95. In August 1895 Government decided that, in order to set back encroachments made by jagirdars or other tenure-holders and to protect the Government estate from further encroachments, the external boundaries of all the khalsa villages should be surveyed and demarcated in accordance with the revenue survey of 1860, except where this had already been done in the course of the survey of the cultivated blocks. This work was commenced on the 10th November 1895 and completed on the 12th June 1896. The initial record-writing was done by the survey amins under the supervision of Babu Rameshwar Prashad; and this officer also did some amount of attestation under the guidance of the Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Bright, who had drawn up detailed rules for both khanapuri (initial record-writing) and attestation. The Settlement Officer, Mr. D. H. E. Sunder, joined on the 17th November 1894. The attestation work was completed in the survey year 1894-95, except for one village, which was dealt with in the follow- ing year. Assessments were completed and announced to the raiyats by the end of April 1896. Jamabandis or rent-rolls were published in August 1896 in accordance with the provisions of Act VIII (B.C.) of 1879, and extracts showing the details of the lands in each holding and the rent payable were distributed to the raiyats. The submission of the final report was delayed till October 1897, in consequence mainly of the deputation of the Settlement Officer to famine—relief. By a notification of the 17th July 1894, all waste lands the property of Government in the khalsa villages, with the exception of lands used by the villagers for cultivation or habitation, had been declared “Protected Forests.” Accordingly the Settlement Officer was required to mark off, in consultation with the local Forest officers, the village areas in blocks of a convenient shape, adding to the cultivated lands such quantity of waste land as would be sufficient for the needs of the villagers. The blocks of waste land left out of these village areas, if of suitable size, were to form Protected Forests. It seems, however, that the Settlement Officer failed to grasp the intention of Government, and his final report contains no mention of what he did in this matter. After the close of the settlement operations, this work was entrusted to the Sub-Deputy Collector, Babu Rameswar Prashad, in charge of the Government Estate, who has completed it, and his report on the proceedings is being separately consi- dered by Government. 6. The Palamau Government estate as now settled comprises 399 villages. The total area traversed, including jungle and waste, is 272,000 acres, or 425-22 square miles, of which 187,520 acres, or 293-93 square miles, from the occupied area, and have been cadastrally surveyed. ( 3 ) - - The aggregate area, cultivated and culturable, including homestead, held by tenants is 65,546 acres, of which 56,278.51 acres are reported to have been found actually under cultivation. The Settlement Officer calculates the increase in cultivation since the last settlement at 221 per cent, taking the total cultivated area at that time to have been 17,511'44 acres. The cultivated area shown in Table III appended to Mr. L. R. Forbes' Report of the last settlement is, however, 43,426.25 acres, and on this basis the increase in cultivation amounts to only 29.6 per cent. The discrepancy has been noticed by the Commissioner of the Division, and a copy of the explanation called for by him should be submitted to Government. Of the total cultivated area 10,428:20 acres are double-cropped. Rice occupies 23-84 per cent. of the cropped area, while 54:39 per cent. is covered by other food-crops. The total irrigated area reported by the Settlement Officer is 8,558'58 acres. Ahars, or reservoirs made by throwing embankments across drainage hollows or across the natural slope of fields, constitute the principal source of irrigation. Mr. Sunder has recommended the construction or improvement of certain ahars. The matter is receiving the attention of the Board and the local officers, and the Lieutenant-Governor will be glad to have a report on the action taken to give effect to the Settlement Officer's recommendations. 7. A great part of the population of Palamau consists of aboriginal tribes who were not accustomed to the ordinary system of assessing each bigha of land at a certain rate of rent, known in Palamau as the uttakar system, which was, therefore, at the last settlement adopted only in the case of villages where cultivation was more permanent and the raiyats were of the more advanced castes. In the more jungly villages lying chiefly to the south, the system adopted was the pariadari system, which was the only one the aboriginal raiyats understood, and under which certain of the village lands, generally the lowlands fit for paddy, were divided into a number of parias or shares, each of which carried with it the right to cultivate a certain extent of bhita or upland free of rent. The parias were classified as first, second and third class, according to the soil contained in each, and a rent was fixed for the whole area according to the class in which the paria was placed. For the new settlement it was at first decided that the uttakar system should be introduced wherever possible, it being left to the discretion of the Settlement Officer to continue the crude pariadari system where he failed to induce the raiyats to accept the other method. Subsequently, in the course of his proceedings, the Settlement Officer found that the general development of the country had been such that there was no need to settle the estate partly on the uttakar and partly on the pariadari system; and in accordance with a recommendation made in his Rate Report, Government decided that throughout the estate the settlement should be made on the uttakar System. y 8. After considerable discussion it was finally decided that for purposes of assessment the two broad divisions of cultivated land, dhankhet and bhita, should each be divided into three classes. First-class dhamkhet is the lowest land on which most water remains, and which is therefore best suited to winter rice; the other two classes possess the same character but in lower degrees. First-class bhita is the land on which bhadoi or autumn paddy, wheat, barley, maize and sugar-cane are grown; lands yielding marua (eleusine corocana), linseed and gram have been classed as second-class bhita, and those producing til or jimjilli (sesamum indicum), cotton and pulses have been classed as third- class bhita. This classification is the same as that current in the adjoining districts of Hazaribagh and Lohardaga; but the Settlement Officer observes that while it appears to be understood by the more intelligent raiyats of the higher castes, the bulk of the people cannot grasp the distinction between the several classes. Whilst the above classification of soils was retained unaltered from the last settlement, the similar triple division of villages was abandoned, and in its place a more complicated division, based on a variety of factors, was introduced. ( 4 ) In fixing the rates, Government was influeneed by the consideration that Palamau is still in a backward condition, partly owing to the absence of rail- ways, and the vicissitudes of the rainfall. Therefore it was decided for the most part to keep to the rates of the previous settlement, and in some cases those rates were even reduced. 9.

The classification of raiyats into settled, occupancy and non-occupancy raiyats has been made in accordance with the principles of the Tenancy Act, although that Act is not in force in the Chota Nagpur Division, and although occupancy rights are unknown in the jagirdari villages. The large percentage of non-occupancy raiyats shown above is due to the unstable disposition of the people. Besides the concession of occupancy rights, all the raiyats, whether rent-paying or not, have for the first time been given mahua trees free of rent at the rate of two trees per raiyat in the northern and four in the southern villages. The flower of these trees, dried and preserved, forms a a valuable article of food for the lower classes. The resident raiyats have also been allowed to hold their homestead lands rent-free, the total area of land thus left unassessed being 991.51 acres, or an average of 0.19 acre per raiyat. Of the rent-free holdings, the service tenures, which are resumable, are held on the distinct understanding that they will be retained in their tenures only so long as the raiyats are satisfied with them. The Lieutenant-Governor agrees with the Commissioner and the Board in thinking that the lands comprised in the chaukidari tenures, amounting only to 29 acres, need not be resumed, and that the service tenures referred to in paragraph 97 of the final report need not be specially sanctioned since they are all resumable save those called khairat, which appear to be petty maintenance grants given by the former Chero Rajas to fakirs, Brahmans and others. 10. The total raiyati rental fixed at the last settlement was Rs. 40,843. This by various means the thikadars or farmers increased to Rs. 57,693, which was the rent actually paid as ascertained at attestation. The new rental being Rs. 74,433, the increase on the attested rental amounts to 29 per cent. The Lieutenant-Governor agrees with the Board in thinking that (paragraph 5, Board's report,) the incidence of the rent per acre, viz. Re. 1-2-3, is moderate. The increase in the rental is due chiefly to extension of cultivation and has been accepted by the tenants. ( 5 ) The cost incurred was as follows:– Cost per acre - Cost per acre of the area of the total Total cost, cadastrally area, surveyed. surveyed. Rs. Rs. A. P. Rs. A. P.

To the rental of the estate should be added the revenue derived from . the following species of trees:— (1) Mahua trees.—Those in excess of the number allowed to the raiyats free of rent have been settled for the period of the settlement (15 years) at 4 annas per tree in the northern villages and at 2 annas in the southern villages. (2) Asan trees, used for rearing silk cocoons, sold by auction annually by the Deputy Commissioner either for the whole estate or for groups of villages. (3) Khair trees used for the manufacture of kath or catechu and in growing lac. The Deputy Commissioner has been left free to settle these trees from year to year to the best advantage. The manufacture of kath involves the destruction of the trees. It was therefore decided in 1896 that in villages where khair trees are numerous some of them might be allowed to be felled, but that in others it might not be advisable to allow such destruction, specially where the trees are used for lac cultivation. Khair trees are used also for house posts and ploughs, and for making charcoal, and the Settlement Officer recommends that the destruction of these trees in the Government estate should be stopped altogether. The Deputy Commissioner does not agree in this recommendation. The Conservator of Forests will be requested to have the trees in question inspected, and to submit a report as to whether, looking to the rules relating to these trees in the reserved and protected forests, it would be inadvisable to give effect to the decision already arrived at by Government. - (4) Palas and Kusum trees used in growing lac. It was decided in 1896 that such of the trees as had already been entered in the raiyats' names in the khatians as being in their possession should be settled with In the northern villages— them separately at the rates noted on the margin Palas ... 2 annas a tree. for one year, on the distinct understanding that I(usum ... 6 , -- - In the southern villages- they would be re-settled with them or not as Palas ... 1 anna a tree, Government might determine on receipt of fuller Kusum ... 4 annas , information. On this question and that of other lac-bearing trees, the Lieutenant-Governor awaits the report called for in paragraph 3(e) of Government Order No. 3292L.R., dated the 17th August 1896. The excess mahua trees have been settled for a period of 15 years with the raiyats for Rs. 3,270 per annum; the palas and kusum trees were settled for 1896-97 at Rs. 10,087, and the revenue obtained from kath in that year was Rs. 265. No revenue was obtained from silk cocoons in 1896-97. 12. The term of settlement of the land revenue has been fixed at 15 years, commencing from the beginning of the Fasli year in September 1896. The kists fixed at the last settlement were 4 annas, due on the 28th October, 8 annas on the 28th January, and 4 annas on the 28th March, paid respectively from the sale-proceeds of the bhadoi crops, of the paddy and other kharif crops, and of the rabi crops. Rents for mahua and lac-bearing trees were payable on the 28th March along with the last kist of land revenue. These kists have been continued, but it appears that a large balance generally remains uncollected at ( 6 ) the end of the financial year, owing presumably to the rabi crops not being ready for the market till the end of April, and mahua and lac till May. The Lieuten- ant-Governor therefore accepts the recommendation of the Board and the local officers that the 4-anna instalment of land revenue paid from the sale-proceeds of rabi crops should be fixed for the 28th of April, and that remts for mahua and lac-bearing trees should be made payable in one instalment on the 28th of May. In view of the circumstances referred to a report is desired as to whether there is any need to make a similar change in the dates at present prescribed for the collection of land revenue in the district of Palamau. 13. The rents were formerly collected through thikadars or farmers who were paid a commission of 10 to 15 per cent. on the actual collections made by them, and were allowed certain privileges which were a source of considerable gain. In some villages, the thikadar also held the manſhas, or nijote lands, at village rates; but as he was entitled to hold these lands only so long as he might manage the village properly and treat the raiyats well, he was precluded from acquiring any right of occupancy over them. It came to light that the thikadars generally had made no improvements in the estate, and had to a great extent violated the conditions of their leases. The system was there- fore abolished and khas management introduced on the 1st April 1896; but the local officers have permission to settle with such individual thikadars as may have special claims to consideration on account of long ancestral connection with the village or of extensive improvements effected by them or by their predecessors. 14. No pattas have yet been issued, and the Settlement Officer is apparently not in favour of the grant of formal leases, seeing that the raiyats are content with the extracts from the jamaband; already given to them. But under section 5 of the Chota Nagpur Landlord and Tenant Procedure Act I (B.C.) of 1879, every raiyat is entitled on demand to receive a patta showing (1) the quantity and boundaries of the land, (2) the amount of annual rent, (3) the instalments in which it is to be paid, and (4) any special conditions of the lease, and the fehrists distributed do not appear to contain anything as to items (3) and (4). The Lieutenant-Governor therefore accepts the recommendation of the Board and the Commissioner of the Division, that a patta should be given to every raiyat who may demandit, and that should any village be hereafter let to a thikadar, a patta should be given to each raiyat before possession is given to the farmer. He also approves the revised form of patta submitted with the Board's letter No. 569A., dated the 15th June 1899, subject to the following corrections, viz., the dates given in the preamble should be made to conform with the actual facts—the settlement having taken effect only from September 1896—and a column giving boundaries should be added to the statement at the end of the form, as the law requires this. If there is to be no general distribution of pattas, the Board are requested to consider what steps should be taken to make known to the raiyats the kists, and the special conditions of the lease, such as those on the restriction of transfers, the term of sub-leases, the supply of rasad and coolies, and the reservation of mineral rights and of the right to take up lands for public purposes, &c., which every raiyat ought to be aware of. 15. As to the question of the maintenance of the settlement records, Government awaits the Board's opinion on the special report which the Director of Land Records is to submit on the question. It will be obvious to them that this question requires very early attention and decision. 16. In paragraph 29 of his final report and in the appendices, the Settle- ment Officer has recommended the construction or improvement of certain roads. The attention of the District Road Committee should be drawn to these proposals. 17. As suggested in paragraph 375 of the Report, arrangements should be made for the Sub-Deputy Collector in charge of the estate and his tahsildars to annually inspect the permanent survey marks and submit a report thereon, and the Lieutenant-Governor agrees with the Board and the Commissioner that the improvement of the markets should be made out of allotments from the management grant. ( 7 ) 18. The Lieutenant-Governor will await a report from the Commissioner of the Division showing what, if any, action it is proposed to take on the Settle- ment Officer's suggestions in Appendices XX and XXI to the final report as to the sale of skins of wild animals, the transfer of cubs, &c., to the Calcutta Zoological Gardens, and the preservation of certain species of birds. The report called for by the Commissioner concerning the manufacture and sale of country guns in Palamau should be submitted with his own remarks to the Judicial Department of this Government. - 19. The Lieutenant-Governor’s thanks are due to Mr. W. R. Bright for the excellent work done by him, as Deputy Commissioner, in organizing the proceedings and carrying them through the earlier and more difficult stages; to Mr. L. F. Berkeley, who as officer in charge of the survey did excellent work; and to the Settlement Officer Mr. Sunder, who by indefatigable industry, tact in dealing with the people, and mastery of detail, has carried out the settlement with marked success. The acknowledgments of Government are also due to Babu Rameswar Prashad for the good work done by him as - Assistant Settlement Officer. - ORDER.—Ordered that this Resolution be published in the Calcutta Gazette and that a copy of it be sent to the Board of Revenue and to the Conservator of Forests, Bengal.
