VDIVIBANDAR--AAYA-DUIK d. 255 Muzaffarábád and Kashmir, whence large quantities of ghi are imported. Nawibandar.-Port in Kathiáwár, Bombay Presidency; situated in lat. 21° 26' v., and long. 69° 50' E., 18 miles south-east of Porbandar, and 15 north-west of Mahadleopur, on the south-west coast, at the mouth of the river Bhadar, which during the monsoon is narigable by boats for about 18 miles. The port is available only for small craft, as the mouth of the river is shallow and rocky and difficult of access. Population, 1343 in 1872, and 1069 in 1881. The trade of the town is diminishing owing to the effects of the railway on the import trade in timber, which had its centre here. Imports in 1881–£4126; exports, £3920. Imports in 1882-83-£3258; exports, £1740. Na-win.-River in Prome District, Pegu Division, Lower Burma formed by the junction of two streams, known as the North and South Nawin. The north Na-win rises in the Pegu Yona range to the north of the Pa-dauk spur, and flows down a narrow rocky valley opening on the plains. From its source to Sin-won village, its course is north-west; thence it runs west and south-west till it joins the South Na-win, a mile south of Myo-na village. The South Na-win also rises in the Pegu lonas immediately south of the Pa-dauk spur, which forms the watershed between these two streams up to their union at its south-west extremity. As far as the mouth of the Tin-gyi, a stream draining a long and somewhat bell-shaped valley, and joining the South Na-win near Yat-thit, the river has a south-westerly course, winding down a gorge and fed by mountain torrents. Thence it debouches on the plains, and, after a short north-west course, turns south-west to fall into the Irawadi (Irrawaddy), in lat. 18° 49' 30" N., and long. 95° 18' E., near the town of Prome. The chief affluents of the Na-win, after its junction with the South Wa-win, are the Kauk-gway, Law-thaw, and Thit-gyi. In the hot season, nearly all these streams are dry; but during the rains they bring down vast volumes of water, the drainage of an area of about 700 square miles finding its way out by means of the Na-rin. These feeders are only navigable by small craft for a short time in the year. The Na-win is now mainly used as a channel for floating down the valuable timber from the forests on the Yona range. Nayá Bagni.-One of the chief channels by which the Padmá or main stream of the Ganges now discharges its waters into the estuary of the Meghná. The Naya Bagni is south of the Kirtinása, and within the jurisdiction of Bákarganj District. Naya-Dumká (or Dumká). — Head-quarters Sub-division of the Santál Parganas District, Bengal, lying between 23° 48' and 24° 50' x. lat., and between 86° 30' 30" and 87° 58' E. long. Area, 1426 square miles; number of villages, 2909; houses, 51,545. Population
