a jaghire or fief of British India, in the division of Rohilcund, bounded on the N. by the district of Pillebecheet, E. and S. by that of Bareilly, and W. by that of Meerabad, lying between N. Lat. 28. 30. and 29. 11., E. Long. 78. 55. and 79. 30. A level, fertile country, watered by the Kosila and Nahul, flowing southwards, it is partially occupied in the north by marshy forests and jungle, where the climate is exceedingly unhealthy; but in the south it presents a wide expanse of waving corn-fields, broken only by small villages or groups of mangoes and bamboos. It is occupied by an industrious and intelligent people, who are chiefly employed in farming. The capital is a large and populous town of the same name, on the left bank of the Kosila, 789 miles N.W. of Calcutta. It is built chiefly of mud, but contains a lofty mosque. Pop. estimated at more than 320,000.
