− | AND

− | PEOPLE.
| |
− | THE
| |
− | modern
| |
− | kingdom
| |
− | of
| |
− | Nepal
| |
− | is
| |
− | a
| |
− | narrow
| |
− | tract
| |
− | of
| |
− | country
| |
− | ex-
| |
− | tending
| |
− | for
| |
− | 520
| |
− | miles
| |
− | along
| |
− | the
| |
− | southern
| |
− | slopes
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | Hima.
| |
− | layas,
| |
− | with
| |
− | a
| |
− | varying
| |
− | breadth
| |
− | of
| |
− | from
| |
− | 90
| |
− | to
| |
− | 140
| |
− | miles.
| |
− | It
| |
− | is
| |
− | bounded
| |
− | on
| |
− | the
| |
− | north
| |
− | by
| |
− | Tibet;
| |
− | on
| |
− | the
| |
− | east
| |
− | by
| |
− | Sikkim
| |
− | and
| |
− | the
| |
− | river
| |
− | Mechi;
| |
− | on
| |
− | the
| |
− | south
| |
− | by
| |
− | Bengal,
| |
− | Oudh,
| |
− | and
| |
− | Rohilkhand;
| |
− | and
| |
− | on
| |
− | the
| |
− | west
| |
− | by
| |
− | liumaun.
| |
− | Nepal
| |
− | is
| |
− | thus
| |
− | surrounded
| |
− | on
| |
− | three
| |
− | sides
| |
− | by
| |
− | British
| |
− | territory.
| |
− | Of
| |
− | the
| |
− | fourth,
| |
− | or
| |
− | Tibetan,
| |
− | frontier, formed
| |
− | by
| |
− | the
| |
− | main range
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | Himslayas, little
| |
− | is known.
| |
− | Previous
| |
− | to
| |
− | 1815
| |
− | the
| |
− | kingdom
| |
− | included
| |
− | the
| |
− | country
| |
− | up
| |
− | to the
| |
− | river Sutlej,
| |
− | and
| |
− | also
| |
− | the
| |
− | Sikkim
| |
− | territory
| |
− | west
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | Tista
| |
− | river.
| |
− | The
| |
− | country
| |
− | consists
| |
− | of
| |
− | four
| |
− | distinct
| |
− | zones
| |
− | running
| |
− | cast
| |
− | and
| |
− | west
| |
− | :
| |
− | namely,
| |
− | the
| |
− | Terai,
| |
− | the
| |
− | Dhuns,
| |
− | the
| |
− | Hill
| |
− | Country,
| |
− | and the
| |
− | Alpine
| |
− | Region.
| |
− | The
| |
− | Terai
| |
− | is
| |
− | a
| |
− | belt
| |
− | of
| |
− | country,
| |
− | thirty
| |
− | miles
| |
− | wide,
| |
− | skirting
| |
− | the
| |
− | Tho
| |
− | Tcrci.
| |
− | British frontier,
| |
− | and
| |
− | divided
| |
− | into
| |
− | the
| |
− | open
| |
− | Terai
| |
− | and the
| |
− | Bhaver.
| |
− | Of
| |
− | these
| |
− | the
| |
− | open
| |
− | Tcrai
| |
− | is
| |
− | marshy
| |
− | land
| |
− | slightly
| |
− | lower
| |
− | than
| |
− | the
| |
− | adjoining
| |
− | plains,
| |
− | and
| |
− | is now
| |
− | almost
| |
− | entirely cultivated. The climate
| |
− | is
| |
− | exceedingly
| |
− | unhealthy
| |
− | in
| |
− | the hot
| |
− | weather
| |
− | and
| |
− | rains.
| |
− | The
| |
− | Bhaver,
| |
− | or
| |
− | prim~val
| |
− | sd
| |
− | forest, has
| |
− | a
| |
− | climate even
| |
− | more
| |
− | malarious
| |
− | than
| |
− | that
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | Terai.
| |
− | 'There
| |
− | are
| |
− | small patches
| |
− | of
| |
− | cultivation
| |
− | in
| |
− | the
| |
− | heart
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | forest,
| |
− | and
| |
− | the
| |
− | Terai
| |
− | edge
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | forest is gradually retiring,
| |
− | as
| |
− | fresh
| |
− | land
| |
− | is
| |
− | brought under cultivation.
| |
− | This
| |
− | jungle
| |
− | is
| |
− | almost
| |
− | un-
| |
− | inhabited, and
| |
− | is
| |
− | only
| |
− | valuable
| |
− | for
| |
− | its
| |
− | timber
| |
− | and
| |
− | elephants.
| |
− | At
| |
− | two points
| |
− | the
| |
− | Nepal
| |
− | Terai is
| |
− | broken,
| |
− | ciz.,
| |
− | between
| |
− | the
| |
− | Oria
| |
− | and
| |
− | the
| |
− | river
| |
− | Gandak,
| |
− | and
| |
− | at
| |
− | the
| |
− | Dundwa
| |
− | hills.
| |
− | Here

| |

| |
− | at

− | an

− | average
| |
− | elevation
| |
− | of 4,000
| |
− | feet.
| |
− | The

− | second
| |
− | is
| |
− | the

− | Alpine
| |
− | region,

− | in

− | 13,000 feet.
| |
− | This

| |

− | Segowlie

− | Etaunda

− | to
| |
− | Khatmandu.
| |
− | All
| |
− | authentic
| |
− | information
| |
− | ceases
| |
− | as
| |
− | soon
| |
− | as
| |
− | the
| |
− | Sandstone
| |
− | range
| |
− | is passed. Most
| |
− | of
| |
− | the
| |
− | routes
| |
− | are
| |
− | only
| |
− | practicable
| |
− | for hill ponies or mules,

| |
− | into

− | Tibet
| |
− | only

− | for

− | sheep

− | be
| |
− | crossed

| |
− | The

− | People.
| |
− | of

− | Mongolian origin.
| |
− | With
| |
− | them
| |
− | there
| |
− | is
| |
− | now
| |
− | an
| |
− | admixture
| |
− | of
| |
− | Hindu
| |
− | stock.
| |
− | Thakur
| |
− | and Khas
| |
− | are descendants
| |
− | of

− | Brahman
| |
− | invaders
| |
− | and
| |
− | form
| |
− | the
| |
− | highest
| |
− | social
| |
− | class.
| |
− | Next
| |
− | to
| |
− | them
| |

| |
− | Magars

| |
− | All
| |
− | the

− | above
| |
− | are termed

− | Gurkhaa.
| |
− | The

| |
− | is
| |
− | not
| |
− | limited
| |
− | to
| |
− | any
| |
− | class or clan,
| |
− | but
| |
− | is
| |
− | applied

− | those
| |
− | whose

− | 70,000
| |
