RIVER SYSTEM The valleys on the south-eastern side of the Singalila ridge are drained by the Mechi Balasan and Mahanadi rivers ; and all the remainder of the Darjeeling hills is drained by the Tista and its tributaries except the extreme eastern end where the chief effluent is the Jaldhaka. [...] The colour and coldness of the latter are no doubt due to the number of glaciers which it drains ; while the Rangit is chiefly supplied by the rainfall of the outer ranges of the Senchal and Singalila hills and hence its water is warmer and clearer except during the height of the rains. [...] THE RAMMAN The Ramman one of the tributaries of the Great Rangit takes its rise under the Phalut peak in the Singalila range which forms the western boundary of the district. [...] The principal tributaries of the Balasan in the hills are the Rinchingtong on the left and the Rangbang on the right bank ; and in the plains the Rakti and Rohini both of which join it on its left bank. [...] At the same time there was annexed to it the portion of the Sikkim hills bounded by the Ramman on the north the Great Rangit and the Tista on the east and by the Nepal frontier on the west a tract of country containing about 5 000 souls.
