whose soil is specially suited to this class of agriculture. It 

 is true that I had realized that this practice is practically 

 unknown in Mahratwarra country to the north, but that is 

 due to unsuitability of the Deccan Trap soil. Beyond this 

 area to the north, where the Puranas and Archaean again 

 appear, the custom of tank irrigation is not so prevalent. 

 Irrigation is not a subject I am competent to discuss, but from 

 my own observations I can state that here and there in the 

 jungle are to be found remains of terraced irrigation of 

 unknown age,, well away from any village sites, and yet in no 

 way differing from that still in use.
