The district of *Ahichhatra* was about 3000 *li*, or 500 miles, in circuit. With these large dimensions I believe that it must have comprised the eastern half of Rohilkhand, lying between the northern hills and the Ganges, from Pilibhît on the west to Khairabad near the Ghâgra on the east. This tract has a boundary of 450 miles measured direct, or about 500 miles by road distance.
