Whilst on the subject of Hyderabad I may mention that the future of the Berars still remains unsettled. Tt is known that Berar will be attached for administrative purposes to either the Bombay Presidency or the Central Provinces, but though rumours are plentiful no authentic information is yet to hand. Perhaps the most probable solution is to be found in a recent article in the "Pioneer," which suggests that, if Berar be attached to Bombay, Scindo may be given to the Punjab and Chota Nagpur and Orissa added to the Central Provinces.—Meanwhile the officers serving in Berar ara anxiously awaiting the orders to see how they will be affected by them.
