² [The climate of Agra in May and June must have been most trying to Marāthā hill-men, whose homes in the Western Ghāts would at that season be receiving the cooler breezes which herald the gradual approach of the south-west monsoon. The Marāthā of to-day always regards a visit to his village in the Deccan as a sovereign remedy for ill-health or low spirits engendered by residence in Bombay City. The moist heat of the coast districts and the very dry heat of the plains of Northern India are alike unknown in the equable and comparatively bracing climate of Mahārāshtra.]
