TARAI, or TERAI (i.e. " moist land ")

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 415 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TARAI, or TERAI (i.e. " moist land ") , the name of the sub-montane strip of marshy jungle stretching beneath the
lower
  ranges of the Himalaya in northern India. This strip may be said to extend roughly from the Jumna river on the west to the Brahmaputra on the
east
 , though the
term
  is now officially confined to a subdivision of Naini Tal
district
  in the United Provinces; area, 776 sq. In.;
population
  (1901) 118,422. At its northern edge, where the waterless forest
tract
  of the Bhabar ends, a
series
  of springs burst from the surface, and these, increasing and uniting in their progress, form the numerous streams that intersect the Tarai. The Deoha is the
great
  river of the Tarai proper, and is navigable at Pilibhit. Elephants, tigers, bears, leopards and other wild animals are found. Every-where it is most unhealthy, and inhabited only by tribes who seem proof against malaria. A large portion lies within Nepal.
