''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Ichamati, Nadia =
River of Nadia District, Bengal. The Ichamati 
is in its present form a branch of the Matabhanga (an offshoot of 
the Ganges), which it leaves at Krishnaganj in 23° 24' N. and 88° 43'' E. 
The Ichamati flows south till it enters the Twenty-four Parganas, where 
it takes the name of Jamuna (2). It is a deep river, navigable through- 
out the year by the largest trading boats. It was probably at one time 
a main outlet of the Ganges when it was forcing its way eastwards, and 
was possibly part of an older stream which was cut in half by that river, 
there being another river of the same name — Ichamati (i)— on the 
north bank of the Ganges in Pabna District.
