 the highest amount ever realized by the Marhattas from the district, though 

 their assessments were sometimes rated higher. The collections indeed I 

 suspect very frequently fell short of the above standard, more especially 

 during the last ten years of the Marhatta administration. The proportions 

 between the net expenditure, and the remittances to Nagpore, I take to have 

 been in a great measure nominal.

 kalians per deh masha rupee, during the whole of the Marhatta adminis- 

 tration.
