territory at present. The house of Dajibaba ( Udaji) is reprente d by the Mota Basdaia of Boridra, Umargam and Sardulsingh of Bansda, the house of Kusalsiugh is repesented by Bagatias of Mandvi, Sanja, Wanta, Jhabugaon, Miyangam, Tuna aud Nawapura. Nothing is known to us as to who are the present descendant of Yograj. Of course Bansadia Umedsingh of Miyangam, who lives at prent in his Mansal at Devan, is claiming direct descent from him but we have grave doubts.
Further on this table says that Zorawarsingh the son and successor of Raibhan was succeeded by Parbat Singh the sixth in descent from Mangaldeva the brother of F aibhan. Can there be any absurd statement more ? Still we are asked to believe the statement made there in the said Table.
On the strength of Marratha records produced in theɛe Volumes and further on the strength of other documents refered to, precedig above, we declare Table no. 1a as unreliable and not worthwhile the paper upon which it is written.

The village in question is at present in the enjoyment of his descendant. This event is said to have taken place in Vikaram Sambat 1833 on 11th day of Chaitrabad. This event places him as contemporary Raja of Raybhan the 8th Raja according to this Table. Therefore he was himself either Raisingh or his son. But the absence of Arjansingh gives a direct lie to this table and requires no ofher proofs to falsify it. Still we would like to give here some argument with a veiw to give it a deservand decent burial
The time of Arjansingh is now definitely known as Vikaram Sambat 1833 (1778. A. D. ) so bis line must have seprated from the Ruling line some good many years before. But the inscription on his Palia gives his name Arjansingh Udaisingh. Therefore Udaisingh was one of three Uncles of Rabhan. The Table prepared from
