Rivers.—The River Tapty runs through the whole length 
of the collectorate, and, unlike the rivers of the other collect- 
orates, disembogues into the Gulf of Cambay, below Surat ; 
the water-shed of the country being in fact from the east to 
the west, instead of from the west to the east; there are some 
exceptions in rivers which rise in the Western Ghats, or the 
Chandore range, and run to the east for some distance, then 
sweep round ina segment of a circle and join the Tapty; such 
are the Guirna, Roharee, the Moosum, &c. ‘Timber is floated 
down the Tapty in the monsoon. 
Boodh Cave Temples.—Near to the Adjunta Pass, through 
the Chandore range, from Ahmednuggur into Khandesh, are 
a multitude of those astonishing remains of Boodhist art, 
consisting of excavations in the mural faces of the trap rocks, 
the interior walls of which excavations are covered with bas- 
reliefs ; indeed, with fresco paintings also, illustrative of the 
arts and social relations of life, like the paintings on the tombs 
of the Egyptian kings.
