THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[NOVEMBER, 1884.
Bhagirathi or Ganges. This supposed branch is the Râpanåråyana, which, if the Sarasvati ever flowed into the Kambyson mouth, must of course have sprung from it, and it was then natural to suppose that it did so. M. D'Anville has brought the Sarasvati into the Jelasor river in his maps, and supposed that the communication took place a little above a village called Danton, and if we look into the Bengal Atlas, we shall perceive that during the rains, at least, it is possible to go by water, from Hughli, through the Saraswati, and many other rivers, to within a few miles of Danton, and the Jelasor river. The river, which according to Ptolemy branches out towards the east, or to the left, and goes into the Kambarikan mouth is the Jumna, called n Bengal Jubund. For the Ganges, the Jumna and the Sarasvati unite at the Northern Trivêni or Allahabad, and part afterwards at this Trivêni near Hughli ... called in the spoken dialects Terboni. Though the Jumná falls into the Kam. barikan mouth, it does by no means form it; for it obviously derives its name from the Kambådår& or Kambaraka river, as I observed before. Ptolemy says that the Ganges sends an arm towards the east or to the left, directly to the false mouth or Hariņaghatta. From this springs another branch to Antibole, which of course is the Dhakki branch called the Padmå or Paddagang. This is a mistake, but of no great consequence, as the outlines remain the same. It is the Padda or Dhakk& branch, which sends an arm into the Harinaghatta. The branching out is near Kasti and Komarkalli, and under various appellations it goes into the Hariņaghatta mouth."
Besides the tributaries of the Ganges already mentioned, Ptolemy refers to two others which it receives from the range of Bêpyrrhos. These are not named, but one is certainly the Kaugiki and the other ought to be either the Gandaki or the Tistå.

41. Sources of the River Adamas in the same range ...142° 24°
These rivers have been all already noticed, with the exception of the Mô phis. This is now the Maht, a considerable river which flows into the Gulf of Khambat at its northern extremity at a distance of about 35 miles north from the estuary of the Narmada. Ptolemy is in error in making the two rivers join each other. The Môphis is mentioned in the Periplús as the Maïs. In this list the spelling of the names of two of the rivers of Orissa has been slightly changed, the Manada into Manda and Tyndis into Toundis.
Ptolemy proceeds now (following as much as possible the order already observed) to give a list of the different territories and peoples of India classified according to the river-basins, together with the towns belonging to each territory and each people (S$42-93), and closes the chapter by mentioning the small islands that lay adjacent to the coast. He begins with the basin of the Köphés, part of which he lad already described in the 6th Book.
42. The order of the territories in this division (India intra Gangem) and of their cities or villages is as follows :
Below the sources of the Ka are located the Lambatai, and their mountain region extends upwards to that of the Kömédai.
