transferred from District to District and Province to Province. This can be clearly proved by a list of officers carefully compiled by Mr. Bhaskar Vaman Bhat83 from the official letters and documents published in the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 20th volumes of Mr. Rajwade's Marathyancha Itihasanchi Sadhanen. In Mr. Bhat's list, we find that the following officers were in charge of the several Districts for the years marked against their names:
Havaldars
Himbe (Pargana)-Yesaji Ram, Haveli
Koregam
Tarf Satara
Wai Prant
A.D. 1676.
A.D. 1676.
A.D. 1676.
-Anaji Kanho, -Bhimaji Malhar, -Kukaji Bayaji, Mahadaji Anant, Tukaji Prabhu,
A D. 1675. A.D. 1676. A.D. 1677.
It is a pity that we are not in possession of a complete list of Havaldars. We do not know whether in other Districts also, officers were changed so often as in Satara. Our information about the Subhadars and the Sarsubhadars is however more satisfactory, and the working of the principle of short term appointment and constant transfer can be very conveniently proved by the following instances from Mr. Bhat's list.
