Excerpt from The Colonial Empire of Great Britain: Considered Chiefly With Reference to Its Physical Geography and Industrial Productions That feature of the Himalayah Mountains by 'which they are distinguished from the other great mountain chains of the world, is the occurrence of habitable valleys upon their anks, whose greatest length is in the direction of the axis of the chain, and which, in some instances, have' an altitude of 5000 feet above the sea. The two subdivisions of the plains below the mountains will be found to present strong points of contrast; for while the Ganges portion over ows with fertility, the largest and most intractable deserts of India are connected with the basin of the Indus; and the climate, the products, and the people of the two river-basins are equally distinct. The southern table-land may also be divided. The main por tion of the peninsula is called the Deccan, or The South. To it is attached, on its north-western side, another and lower plateau named Central India, or the Table-land of Malwa. Moreover, the eastern and western coasts are formed of comparatively at and low tracts of land, which have been termed the Concans, from the name of their best - known portion situated to the south of Bombay.
