''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Jamuna , Bengal =

Deltaic distributary of the Ganges in Bengal, or rather 
the name given to a part of the waters of the Ichamati during a section 
of its course. The Jamuna enters the Twenty-four Parganas at Baliani 
from Jessore District; and after a south-easterly route through the 
Twenty-four Parganas and Nadia Districts winds amid the forests and 
jungles of the Sundarbans, until it empties itself into the Raimangal, 
at a short distance from the point where the estuary debouches in the 
Bay of Bengal, in 21 degree 47' N. and 89 degree 13' E. The Jamuna is a deep 
river and navigable throughout the year by trading boats of the 
largest size, and its breadth varies from 150 to 300 or 400 yards. The 
Bhangar line of the Calcutta and Eastern Canals strikes this river at 
Husainabad.
