These, though running for a short length and not deserving the title of rivers, are very interesting and important. For these illustrate on a small scale several of the features of the river mechanism like erosion, aggradation, re-deposit, and river terraces which one witnesses in a large river. Above all, they contain some of the earliest records of man within Greater Bombay, though in the island of Bombay they are probably now irrecoverably lost. It is therefore quite possible that what was found by Todd and others at Kandivli may well be found right upto a point below Ghod Bandar or south of Bombay on the Ratnagiri coast. For the entire coast must have undergone similar geological and climatic conditions. What is now needed is an extended search along the coast.
