From J. R. HOOD, ESQ., I.C.S., S~ttlem~nt Officer, Kolaba; To THE COLLECTOR OF KOLABA. S~olapur, 30th April 1924. Sir, • I have the honour to submit my proposals for the Second Revision Settle ment of Alibag Taluka. The total number of villages in the Taluka is 205 made up as follows :-. Government villages 195 Inam villages 7 Sharakati villages 3 205 , At the First Revision Settlement proposals were submitted and approved for the GovHnment and Sharakati villages, i.e., 198 in all. At the present revision I have bem directed to submit proposals for the scttkm€nt of the two Inam villages of Khar Narangi and KUrkunru-Koltt-mbi. Thus five Inam villag(8remain unsettled and my proposals in this report cover 200 villages. 1I.-Position and Physical Features. 2. Alibag Taluka lies on the W€st coast just south of Bombay. In shape it is oblong, averaging 21 miks from north to south and about 10 mills from cast to W(st, the total alya being 121,344 acres or 189·6 square miles. It is bounded on the north by BombayHarbour and the Dharamtar CIT ( k, beyond which lics Panvel Taluka, on thc east by the Aruba River which forms the Boundary between Alibag and Pen Talukas, on the south by Roha .T .. lukr. and the Kundalika Rivtor, and on the W(,st by thc Arabian Sea. 3. The dc·scription of physical fpaturE B givm in previous reports still holds good. From the sea the eye wandHs over a narrow belt of garden land lying along the beach, here and there broken by a few small creeks, behind which a range of hills id seen stretching from north to south as far as the I,ye can reach. From the east sailing up the Arulla. Riv('r the extrusive flats arc seen with the Kolaba hills starting up behind th!'m, and the little winding rivulets running down towards the fiats, where th(.y meet with the minor salt water inlets and became absorbed in the large Nagothua creek (i.e., the Aruba Riv(·r). The hilla view~d from the cast pr~sent a very bold and pictur!'sque app"arancc. On the. south the country presents utili mor~ bold and wild appearance : th" hillnrunning from north to south and from east to west are varied and irregular in their forms and covered with a dense jungle.
