  of India, ire Berar. The town stands at an

  of 1476 ft. Pop. (1901) 10,545. It was formerly the headquarters of Wun

chief
  trading centre in the district, and is connected by road with Dhamangaon station, 29 M. distant.
The DISTRICT OP YEOTMAL has an area of 5183 sq. m. It is a wild hilly country, intersected by offshoots from the Ajanta mountains. The hills are
bare
 , or clothed only with dwarf teak or small jungle; but on the heights near Wun town the bamboo grows abundantly, and small bamboos are found in the ravines. The Wardha and Penganga, which bound the district on the E. and S., unite at its S.E. corner. The Penganga drains the greater
part
  of the district. The tiger, leopard and hyena abound; bears, wolves and jackals are also numerous; while small game is plentiful. The climate is enervating and unhealthy; the annual rainfall averages about 41 in. Pop. (1901) 575,957. The

 , pulses, oil-seeds and wheat. Coal has been found, and
