We should thus have exactly seven acceptable divisions of the Koṅkaṇ. But the subject is capable of further elucidation; especially if the Koṅkaṇ is held to extend beyond the Malabâr District, and so to include the Cochin and Travancore States; in the latter case, the seven divisions would probably correspond pretty closely with (1) Travancore and Cochin; (2) Malabâr; (3) South Kanara; (4) North Kanara; (5) Goa; (6) Ratnâgiri; and (7) Kolâba, Thâṇa, and Surat.
