''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. ''

=Patan Taluka=

South-easternmost taluka of Satara District,
Bombay, lying between 17 8' and 17 34' N. and 73 39' and 74 4' E.,
with an area of 438 square miles. It contains 203 villages, but no town.
Patan is the head-quarters. The population in 1901 was 104,167, com-
pared with 131,833 in 1891. The density, 238 persons per square
mile, is the same as the average of the District. The demand for land
revenue in 1903-4 was 1-2 lakhs, and for cesses Rs. 11,000. Patan is
hilly. The chief feature in the west is the Koyna valley running south,
with lofty flanking hills.

On the east the valleys of the Koyna, Tarli,
and Kole open into the plains of the Kistna. The soil of the eastern
valleys is good, yielding both early and late crops, chiefly jowdr and
ground-nuts, and, when watered, sugar-cane. The rest of the soil is
red, and except in the hollows where rice and sometimes sugar-cane
are grown, is under nomadic cultivation. The Koyna and the Tarli
with their feeders furnish abundance of water to the villages on and
near their banks. Away from the rivers, both on the tops of the hills
and in the valleys, especially during March, April, and May, water ib
scarce. The climate is cool and healthy in the hot season, but the
chilly damp of the rains makes it feverish. Compared with the greater
portion of the District the rainfall is heavy, averaging 67 inches
annually.
