Excerpt from Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency, Vol. 19: Sátára Mind the spurs of the Sahyadris chiefl stretching east and south-east and the south-running spurs of e Mahadev hills divide Satan into three belts, a western, a central, and an eastern. The western or Sahyadri belt includes the western parts of Wéi, J avh Bath, Patan, and Vilva. It includes the narrow rugged and steep crest of the Sahyfidris and the neighbouring ten to fifteen miles in the extreme west of the Koyna and varua valleys. It includes the bulk of the Satan's forest land and is throughout hilly and thickly wooded with evergreen trees. The Koyna and Virus rise in the ysahyadris and run south east till they join the Krishna. On both sides of these rivers the hills rise steep from the river banks, leaving little room for tillage. The line of hill top is seldom broken into distinct summits and is generally bars as the rock is too smooth and steep to give trees a foothold. On the hill slopes the vegetation is douse; and in the valleys where the hush ings of the hills have thered, the tree growth is luxuriant forming high forests chie y of jdmbhul Syzigium ambolauum anjan Memocylou tinctorium, pica Actino daphne, ]ac Artocarpus integrifolia, cad Ficus indies, mango Mangifera indies, and hirda Terminalia chebula. E wept Mahabaleshvar, Mandhardev, and a few others which end in large plateaus, the flat tops are not more than fifty to 300 acres in area. The hills are crossed by many footpaths 'and by two i rtaut cart roads with large trailic, the fitsgerald mmfovli leading from Mahdbaleshvar to Mahad in Kolaba and8 the kumhharlipass leadin by Karad and Patau to Chiplun iura Scattered overthe lls, always close toaspringorstream, ont efiattops ou side terraces, and in the valley bottoms are small hamlets of rude ill-made huts whose timbers are rough forest posts, whose walls are of wattle and daub, and whose roofs are of thatch.
