''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. ''

=Salt-Water Lake=
Swamp in the head-quarters subdivision of the 
District of the Twenty- four Parganas, Bengal, situated about 5 miles 
east of Calcutta, between 22 28' and 22 $6' N. and 88 23' and 88 
28' E., with an area of about 30 square miles. This is a low depression, 
which is being gradually filled by silt deposits of the tidal channels 
that intersect it. It serves as a cesspool for the sewage of Calcutta. 
A portion of the lake at Dhapa is being gradually reclaimed by the 
deposit of street refuse, which is conveyed out daily from Calcutta 
by a municipal railway.
