Excerpt from Transactions of the Bombay Geographical Society, 1836, Vol. 1 Barbatre consists of an assemblage of rude huts of various forms, round, oval, and square, generally about 6 to 7 feet in height, built of sticks covered with mats or skins. They possess in general little of the a pearance of human habitations, but a few are of larger size and divi ed into apartments. In the latter reside the Banians, the Nakhoodas, and several Chiefs, who remain at Durham throughout the season. These huts are erected in November, or as soon as the first caravan arrives, and are dismantled on the breaking up of the fair, in the month of May, when the greater part of the materials are taken awa for scarcely a soul remains on this part of the coast during the no -east monsoon, owing to the suffocating hot winds, which in June, July, and part of August, blow with great violence.
