I NOW refume my journey along the continent, and begin East Cape. 

 my progrefs at Eajl Cape, a little to the north-eaft of Cape 

 Comorin, and the eaftern end of the Ghauts, which finifli 

 here in the gulph of Manaar. The Ghauts are in this place 

 very narrow ; but as they go northward, widen gradually to the 

 eaft, till they reach the province of Dindigul, which they fkirt 

 on the whole weftern and part of the fouthern fide. The fea 

 coaft extends northerly from Eaji Cap£,o\- Manapar, in Lat. S'ao , 

 as far as Cape Calymere, in Lat. io° id, with a flrong curvature 

 towards the eaft, interrupted only by the long promontory of 

 Koyel, which points due eaft. This fpace comprehends the king- 

 doms or provinces of I'inevelly, Madura, Marazvar, or the Mara- 

 zvars, and Tondlman, all the way waflied by the gulph of Manaar 

 and Palks bay. The greateft breadth of thefe countries is about 

 feventy-fix miles. The length, to Cape Calymere, tv/o hundred 

 and twenty. The whole extent is watered with frequent 

 rivers, all flowing from the north-weft. I doubt whether any 



are ufeful in navigation.
