Book Description
Preface

The tenth volume of the Assam District Gazetteer series contains the account of the Khasi and Jaintia, the Garo and the Lushai Hills. These accounts garo necessarily brief, for little has been said of the interesting tribes by whom these districts are inhabited, as elaborato monographs on these tribes are now under preparation by officers who are intimately acquainted with their habits. The districts are sparsely peopled, apart from Shillong there are no towns, the system of administration is simple, and there is little of industry or commerce. There is thus but little for a Gazetteer to add to the tribal monograph. I am indebted to the various District Officers for their kindness in examining the proofs, and to Major Shakespear for his courtesy in criticising the account of the Lushai Hills, a district with which he was for so many years so intimately connected. It should be added that these Gazetteers were written before the partition of Bengal, and that wherever the word "Province" occurs it is to the old Province of Assam that reference is made.
