The theory of evolution affords us a peep into the process of creation as manifest sometimes clearly sometimes confusedly and the curvature of the arc apprises us of the nature of the whole circle For hand in hand went the making of the earth and the making of the life on it which flowered into the evolution of Man. [...] The letter is dated the 12th July 1678 and runs as follows : "We have received the letters that Pitambar Shenvi wrote to me and the Arch-Bishop Primate in which he represented to me that he came to this city in connection with the subject of the payment of chauth of the territories of Daman which used to be paid to the King Chauthia. [...] I write on this subject after consulting the captain of the fortress of Daman and examining the terms under which the agents of the said villages subjected them to the payment of the said chauth. [...] In a letter to His Majesty the King of Portugal dated the 11 th September 1638 the Viceroy Pedro da Silva defined chauth which was paid by the inhabitants of Daman to the Raja of Sarceta as a kind of impost which obliges the said King not to harbour robbers in his dominions and to refrain from capturing men and cattle belonging to the farmers of the province of Daman (12). [...] Then he goes on to ask that the chauth belonging to one Berba May be paid to him as the said Berba was his 'uncle to whom the chauth had been given' by the Raja's ancestors and the sons and wife of Berba had now transferred to the Raja the chauth originally belonging to Berba by a deed of gift of which a copy was sent by the King for the Viceroy's perusal and examination.
