By the above it will be seen that the month of April is usually the hottest
month in the year; and from the fact that rain usually falls in that and in the
following month, the hot weather is neither prolonged nor excessive.
7. The town of Dharwar and its suburbs cover an area of something over
3 square miles, but in this calculation is included not only the petha itself, but
its dependant villages, viz., 1 Hasyellapur, 2 Suptápur, 3 Narayanápur, 4 Guljan

area of about 76 acres, has been included within municipal limits, which, with the
civil station, must largely increase the superficial area which requires supervision.
