306 Fishing Localities. Chait. xxiv. 



Jadkall. — A similar bungalow, only "Black Spot" fishing, but 

 that is very pretty. 



Mala, — No accommodation. Capital Black Spot fishing. 



Cooloor. — Stream very small indeed, and fishing even for small 

 fish indifferent. No Mahseer. A rough bungalow like that at 

 Wondse. 



Nagawadi. — A bungalow. JTannar, none. Only small Chela 

 hoopis. Good snipe at the latter. 



Biranthadaka and Biramangalam. — Not easy of access. No 

 accommodation. Some fair Mahseer water. 



Dharmastala. — No accommodation, but a very good station for 

 Mahseer. Try the river, both above and below the ford from the 

 shore. Also take a guide and walk, it is unrideable, through the 

 forest, etc., down to the junction of the two rivers. Try them both 

 from the shore. Also try the grand pools below the junction from 

 a boat. There is plenty of excellent water. Time, September, 

 October, November, December. 



Mangalore. — The only place is the Salt Kotars, and the fish the 

 Cock-up, with an occasional lied Perch. I had excellent sport at 

 times, but numerous disappointments. I never could make out 

 their times. I expect Colonel Osborn is right about their being 

 taken only in coloured water. Never saw any lia-min there. 



Cicilly. — Do not touch the tame Mahseer. You will find 

 plenty more further down the river. 



Cimdapoor, — Close to the sea. A beautiful spot. There are 

 plenty of estuary fish close to the bungalow, if you can catch them. 

 They beat me. Others have done better with prawns. In the 

 pond within a ride, the peculiar fishing for Chanos Mlm<mrus is 

 worth seeing. The Red Perch is also to be taken in that pond. 

 Also a Horse-mackerel {Caranx). 



Mudrhdi. — In a pond attached to a Jain temple at a place 

 called Warranga, near Mndradi, there is excellent Black Spot 

 fishing. At Mudradi there is a District Officer's bungalow. 



Coimbatore District. 



The Bawainiy and the I'avery rivers, which run through and 

 skiit much of this district, afford excellent sport, and at many 

 places heavy game can simultaneously be got. 



Mitapolliam is well known from being on the way to the
