This Sarkar like that of Champaran has no Haveli. In the present 

 day sixteen out of Todar Mai's seventeen mehals are in existence, though 

 some of the modern names differ slightly from those in the Ain. 



VI. Sarkar Tirhut. — 74 mehals. Measured area 266,464 bigahs. 

 Revenue 19, 189, 777 J dams. Castes various ; 700 horse, 80,000 foot. 



Though this Sarkar contains a greater number of pargannas than 

 others in Bihar, it covers less area than Sarkars Bihar or Mungir, the 

 pargannas being in many instances very small. This Sarkar is one of 

 the most difficult to reconstruct, many changes having taken place, both 

 in the names and arrangement of the pargannas, and large areas being 

 absolutely unaccounted for. 



VII. SarMr Buhtds, — 18 mehals. Area 473,340 bigahs. Re- 

 venue 4,081,949 dams. Castes various ; 4,550 horse, 162,000 foot. 



This Sarkar is in the main conterminous with the modern district 

 of Shahabad, being bounded on the north by the Ganges, on the east by 

 the Son, on the west by the ill-omened Karamnasa, and on the south by 

 the Kaimur range. 



In conclusion, Mr. Beames remarks that the reconstruction of this 

 Subah is far from being complete, and expresses a hope that here, as in 

 the case of Subah Avadh, persons living on the spot may be able to clear 

 up some of the doubtful points by local enquiry.
