In this sarkar all the mahals have been identified by the settlement 
officers of the Hardoi, Sitapur, and Kheri districts, but nearly all of them 
call for some explanation. 
1. Barwar Anjanah was a large tract of mostly uninhabited forest 
country which included the present parganahs of Alamnagar, Pihani- 
Padarua in the Hardoi district and Pasganw, Muhamdi, Magdapur, Auran¬ 
gabad, and Atwa-Piparia in Kheri. It is said that the second name is 
properly Anjanah “ unknown ” so-called from the wild nature of the 
country, but this is doubtful. It was one large estate held by the Sayyids 
of Barwar. [In tracing the divisions of Akbar through the pages of the 
Settlement reports and the Gazetteer I have been much impeded by the 
fact that the writers are all deeply interested in the history of the great 
proprietary clans and only give geographical notices under those heads, so 
that one has to hunt up a parganah through a dozen notices.] 
3. Pali included the present parganahs of Shahabad and Pachhoha 
and part of Saromannagar and Katiari. 
5. Basrah, was apparently a very small parganah and it is re¬ 
markable that no revenue is assigned to it in the text. It is not to be 
found on the map nor is it mentioned in the 0. G. 
6. Bhurvvarah, a vast and undefined mahal which appears to have 
included the present parganahs of Bhur, Haidarabad, Aliganj and per-
