May 1861.] Report on Budar. 23 



Godavery near Bliopalputnam is about 300 miles. Its principal 

 tributary the Kotree which rises in Kakeir and flows south 

 through the Pratabipore Gurh on the west is broader and ap- 

 parently also a river of some importance. The Sunkaree and 

 Dimkaree also rising in the Hills south of Duntewarrah, which 

 is situated about the centre of Bustar, unite behind the temple 

 of Duntaishwaree, and taking a course about west by north, join 

 the Indrawutty near the village of Nelloogooda in the Kotroo 

 Zemindary about 21 miles west of Duntewarrah. The Kholop 

 has its origin in the Jeypore dependency of the Northern Circars, 

 on the east of Bustar and flowing south 

 through the Sookma Zemindary, forming 

 the frontier line on the south-east, falls 

 into the Godavery. There are besides 

 these many other streams, but so incon- 

 siderable as not to require a separate men- 

 tion, a list of the principal ones has been 

 inserted in the margin. 

 Hills. 7. Two separate ranges of Hills traverse 



the Bustar dependency, one branching off in a spur from the 

 eastern ghats in the Jeypore dependency, runs south west termi- 

 nating in the Sookma Zemindary of Bustar, about 50 miles south 

 from Jugdulpore ; the other range enters the dependency from 

 Chandah and crossing the Indrawutty runs due south east through 

 the Bliopalputnam Zemindary of Bustar, and south of the Dim- 

 karee river, until it reaches the Godavery ; the former of these 

 is locally known as the " Toolser Dongree" and the latter as the 

 " Beila Durda Hills," which as seen from a distance appears to be 

 a very considerable rauge. Besides these a large range is describ- 

 ed as traversing the Narrainpore Talook from east to west, to 

 the north of the Indrawutty. It is said that on the Beila Durda 

 Hills a race of wild people live who have no intercourse with the 

 people of the plains ; they are generally naked, the women wear- 

 ing aprons of leaves in front. They run away on the approach of 

 any one not belonging to themselves, and pay no tribute in cash to 

 the Rajah. They pay however in kind of the produce of their 

 villages ; this is collected once a year by a peon who beats a torn 

 torn outside the village and after he has hidden himself the people
