Baheri

Northern tahsil of Bareilly District, United Provinces, comprising the fiarganas of Sirsawan, Kabar, Chaumahla, and Richha, and lying between 28 35' and 28 54' N. and 79 16' and 79 41/ E., with an area of 345 square miles. Population fell from 207,063 in 1 89 1 to 193,412 in 1 90 1. There are 410 villages and two small towns, neither of which has a population of 5,000. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 3,64,000, and for cesses Rs. 61,000. The

density of population, 561 persons per square mile, is considerably below the District average. This tahsil was the only one which decreased in population between 1891 and 1901. It is a level plain, intersected by numerous small rivers which have nearly all been dammed to supply an extensive system of canals. It is damp and malarious, especially towards the north, and population is liable to fluctuate considerably with the variations in rainfall. This is the chief rice tract in the District, and sugar-cane is less grown than in the areas farther south. The latter crop is also inferior, and its place is taken by maize in the higher lands. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 258 square miles, of which 44 were irrigated, almost entirely from canals.
