GARROW and COSSYAH HILLS, a mountainous district of Hindustan, on the N.E. frontier of Bengal, between the 25th and 26th degrees of north latitude. Its boundaries are Goalpara and Camroop on the north, Jyntea on the east, Sylhet on the south, and Mymensing on the west. The area of the whole tract is estimated at 4347 square miles, of which the Garrows contain one-half, the other moiety being included within the Cossyah Hills. The population, which amounts to 65,205, is composed of the subjects of various native chiefs, who, though taken under British protection, are exempted from the payment of tribute. The character of the country is wild, as is also that of the people; but the liberal policy of the protecting government, and the interposition of its power only when rendered indispensable by the refractory chiefs, have succeeded in maintaining tranquillity. The people are of a stout make, vigorous and athletic, but ill-looking. They are not so dark as those in Bengal. They go nearly naked; and, although calling themselves Hindus, eat all kinds of food, and drink spirituous liquors. They worship Mahadeva; and at Banjam, a pass in the hills, they worship the sun and moon. They are poor and barbarous in their habits. Their houses are of the rudest description, being raised on piles three or four feet from the ground. The houses of the better classes are more neatly executed. They are said to be cheerful in their dispositions, and mild in their manners. At the foot of the Garrow Hills reside a tribe of people called Hajins, who are more like the Hindus, and who will not kill a cow.
