(VI, 12, 4) and the Gandarai (VIT, 1, 44) between the 
Suastos and Indos.' The same geographer names also the 
Korankaloi (VII, 2, 15), who lived probably near the river 
Gandaki, which Plinius calls Condochates in his Natural 
History. Omitting a number of places, which may perhaps 
refer to the Graudian population and are mentioned in the 
work of Ptolemy, I only draw attention to Kandipatna 
(VII, 1, 92), Kondota (VII, 1, 14), Konta (VII, 1, 51), 
Kontakossyla emporion (VII, 1, 15), Koreur (VII, 1, 86), 
Korindiur (VII, 1, 89), Korunkala (VII, 1, 93), and 
Korygaza (VII, 2, 14). 
Explanation of the use of Gtauda (Gtaudian) 
AS A Tribal Name. 
The term Grauda (Graudian) is now generally regarded as 
appropriate to North India, while Dravida is connected with 
South India. Neither term is used in its widest sense, for 
this division, though right in a general way, ignores the fact 
that many Graudian elements are found in the south, while 
the north contains numerous Dra\ddian constituents. In fact 
both branches of the kindred stock exist side by side through- 
out the land. With this restriction, the use of both terms 
may be admitted. 
The word Ganda is a derivative of the root ko, mountain, 
audits equivalents are Groda and Gronda." The substitution 
of r and / for d gives Graura and Graula, which five forms

See C. Plinii Secundi Na/uralis /li.itorift, lib. VI, '22 : "Ex iis naviga- 
biles, praeter iam dictos, Condochatem, Er.inoboam, Cosoagum, Sonum." I 
have not included the Gandak'i among the rivers, as its name is generally 
derived from gandaka, rhinoceros, which are said to be found in it. I regard 
this etymology as doubtful,
