ing to otliers a daughter of the Sun-god Kalinda who is in 
consequence known as Kdlindisu, the father of Yamuna, while 
the god Yama is called Kdlindisodara, the brother of Yamuna. 
I mention this circumstance as Plutarch gives to Indos the 
name of Mausolos after Mausolos, the son of the Sun. 
Another peculiar coincidence is that the Kdlt or Black 
Ganga, which is also known as Manddkim, has in its upper 
course some famous warm springs and that Ckliaros in Greek 
means lukewarm. A second MandakinI rises on the Kdlan- 
jara mountain, on whose top the lake of the gods is situated. 
It is somewhat astonishing that Colonel Wilford T\athout 
giving any reasons explained Chliaros as a mistake for 
Calauriits. He could as well have conjectiu'ed Chliara for 
Kalauria. All editions, however, of Plutarch, the modern 
emendated as well as the old antiquated, read Kalauria and 
Chliaros as proper-names. 
The ancient inhabitants of the country round Mathui-a 
in North India are also called Kalars, but this name has 
not yet been explained and has presumably no connection 
with the Kalauria nymphe of Plutarch, 
Modem writers have often identified the Kolis and the 
Kolarees or Colleries of South India with the Kols. It is 
a peculiar circumstance that, except by the IIo:s or Larka- 
Kols, the term Kol is not used by the so-called Kolai-iaus, 
who include the Mundas, Santals, Korwas, Juaugs, and a 
few other tribes.^^ The Kolis are, according to my opinion, 
Gaudians, and must be distinguished from those races now

called KnUnd't-Kiirsana, or Kdlindl-bhfdana for diverting tlie Yr»miina l>y

the namo of the Ganga of the heavens. About this river see Chr. Lassen's 
Iiidischc Altfi-f/i., vol. I, pp. 61-66, where this question is fully discussed.
