United Provinces, conterminous with the Bhadohl pargana, lying be-
tween 25 degree9' and 25 degree 32' N. and 82degree 14' and 82 degree 45' E., with an area of
396 square miles. Population fell from 291,218 in 1891 to 285,240

Rs. 12,000. Korh lies entirely north of the Ganges and is very thickly
populated, the density being 720 persons per square mile. Its northern
boundary is formed by the Barna river. The tahsil forms part of the
Benares Estate, and is a uniform plain, highly cultivated and well
wooded, with but little waste or jungle. The area under cultivation in

''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. ''
