A History of the Mahrattas v1.c7.41

v1.c7.41

¹ I have had no opportunity of ascertaining, but the Chandore hills are probably the highest above the level of the sea : there is a very perceptible fall in the country from Chandore to the Taptee, and from the Mahdeo hills to the Warna and Kistna. [The fort of Chāndor is 3,994 feet high. The Mahādeo hills start from Mahābaleshwar in Sātāra District, which is 4,717 feet above sea-level, and run first in an easterly and then in a south-easterly direction, till they sink into the plain on the boundary of the district. The highest peak in the Ahmadnagar District is Kalsūbāi, 5,247 feet above sea-level. (I.G. Bom., 1909, i. 411, 474.)]
