MAHIM, a town of Hindustan, is situate on the northern point of the island of Bombay. It possesses a small fort, originally intended for the defence of the channel running between it and Salsette. The town of Mahim stands at the point where the island of Bombay is connected with that of Salsette by a road running partly on arches of masonry, and partly on a causeway constructed by the government, aided by a munificent contribution from Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, a Parsee merchant of great wealth residing at Bombay. Here is the tomb of a Mohammedan saint, with a mosque attached to it; also a Portuguese church, with a college for Roman Catholic priests depending on it. It is 7 miles N. of Bombay fort. E. Long. 72. 54., N. Lat. 19. 1.
