This article appears in Volume V17, Page 394 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MAHABALESHWAR, or MALCOLMPETH , a hill station in Satara
district
 , and the principal sanatorium in the Bombay presidency, India. Pop. (1901), 5299. It is reached by carriage from Wathar railway station (39 m.) or by motor car from Poona (119 m.). Mahabaleshwar occupies the summit of a
ridge
  of the Western Ghats, with a general
elevation
  of 4500 ft. above sea-level. It was established in 1828 by Sir John
Malcolm
 .
governor
  of Bombay, who obtained the site from the raja of Satara in exchange for another patch of territory. The superior
elevation
  of Mahabaleshwar renders it much cooler than Matheran (2460 ft.), a sanatorium about 5o M. E. of Bombay, but its heavy rainfall (292 in. annual average) makes it almost uninhabitable during the
rainy
  season. The mean annual temperature is 67 F. In the hottest season (March-April) an extreme of a little over 90 is reached during the day. Mahabaleshwar forms the retreat usually during
spring
 , and occasionally in autumn, of the
governor
  of Bombay, and the
chief
  officers of his
establishment
 , and has the usual public buildings of a first-class sanatorium.
