This remarkable range of hills is called by Areow- 
SMITH, in his last map, the Bindeh, or Bindachiill Hills. 
The same name is, however, given to a lofty range of hills 
on the left bank of the Godavery, as it passes through 
Goudwana, and also to those near Gualior. I shall there- 
fore distinguish them by the name of the Gavvilghur Range, 
particularly as, after repeated inquiries, I have never been 
able to discover that they were so designated either by the 
inhabitants of those hills, or of the neighbouring plains. 
They take their rise at the confluence of the Poorna and 
Taptee rivers, and, running nearly E. and by N., terminate 
at short distances beyond the sources of the Taptee and 
Wurda. To the southward they are bounded by the valley 
of Berar, and to the north by the course of the Taptee. 
The length of the range is about 160 English miles, and 
average breadth from SO to 25 miles.
