. In an appendix to his Report Macpherson gives some 
instructive ‘ Statistical Details ” of the Bod State which may 
be abstracted as follows :— 
e Khalsa or Raja’ s own domain contains 9 mutthas (sub- 
divisions) with 165 vie The rest of the Estate is divided 
into Khond ‘“ Districts,” viz.— 
(i) Kotrikia District, with 4 subdivisions or asuithas now 
included in Khalsa. 
(ii) Atcombo District, with 8 subdivisions and 59 villages. 
(iii) aie District, with 3 subdivisions and 28 
(iv) Bulscoopa District, with 7 subdivisions and 71 
village 
(v) Porihs ‘Singhi District, with 3 subdivisions and 16 
villa 
(vi) Cogdtow ‘District, with one subdivision and 10 
villages 
Vii) Bipfoet District, with one subdivision and 11 villages.

(ix) Bondoghur District, with 2 subdivisions (number of

villages. ioe 
(xv) Chokapaud District, with 12 subdivisions and 86

56. It will be noticed that the Khalsa does not contain at 
all a a areue: large number of villages and is broken 
up into mutthas just like the rest of the enact f And if we 
take it and the 15 Khond Districts as representing so many 
Garhs it is obvious that in Bod we have a territorial distribu- 
tion again strikingly parallel to that disclosed in para. 9 above 
in the case of Kalahandi. Both Bod and Kalahandi are Khond 
countri ithe inference is, to me, irresistible that the arrange- 
ment in Kalahandi is a direct outcome of the earlier tribal 
system that we see before us in Lieut. Macpherson’ es. 
We find in Bod itself in the Khalsa, where the Khond has been

people” by an immigrant Rajput dynasty that the old Khond
