_The Mewars_--under the Grasya chiefs of Joora, Meerpoor, Oguna, and Panurwa. The political relations of these tribes--in some cases of an undetermined nature--are with the Rajpút governments; in other words, we are now amongst the aborigines of Rajasthan. _The Minas._--These, like the Mewars, are in geographical contact with certain Bhil tribes; in political contact with the Rajpúts--the Mewars with those of Udipúr; the Minas with those of Ajmer, Jeypur, and Kota. _The Moghis._--At present, a free company rather than a population; although the representatives of what was once one--_viz._, the aborigines of Jodpure. So little Brahminists are they that they eat of the flesh of the jackal and the cow, and indulge freely in fermented drinks. The hills that separate Malwah from the Haroti country, and from the south-eastern boundary of the valley of the River Chumbul are occupied by-- _The Saireas._--This is a name which has occurred before and elsewhere;[39] and is almost certainly, anything but native. Tribes, under this name, extend into Bundelcund.[40] _The Goands._--The central parts between Candeish and Orissa, the head-waters of the Nerbudda and Tapti on the west, and of the Godavery on the east, still require notice. Here the hill population is at its _maximum_, both in point of numbers and characteristics; and the _Khond_ forms of the Tamul re-appear under the name _Goand_. Of these we have specimens from-- _a._ The Gawhilghur mountains near Ellichpoor. _b._ Chupprah. _c._ Mundala in _Gundwana_, or the _Goand_ country. Such are the chief hill-populations; which, although they belong to Tamulian stock, differ as to the extent to which they carry outward and visible signs of their origin. Some, like the Rajmahali, are merely separated geographically; and, perhaps, not even that. Others, like the Khonds of Orissa, are contrasted with the Tamuls of the south, by their inferior and social condition, and their non-Brahminical creeds. The Minas and Bhils differ in language; whilst the Ramusis and Berdars, probably, exhibit transitional forms of speech. The Tudas and Chenchwars surrounded by Telingas and Tamuls, as the Khonds and Goands are by Udiyas and Mahrattas, are merely the population of the parts around them with a primitive polity and religion. The _lettered_ languages of the Dekhan, where the Tamul character is unequivocal, but where the civilizational influences have chiefly been Hindú, are spoken in continuity from Chicacole, east, and the parts about Goa, west, to Cape Comorin, _i.e._, in the Madras Presidency, and in the countries of Mysore, Travancore, and the coasts of Malabar and Coromandel. Of these, the most northern--beginning on the eastern coast--is-- _The Telinga or Telugu._--Spoken from the parts about Chicacole to Pulicat, where it is succeeded by--
