EASTERN HINDOOS TAN. 109 



Bordering on the fouth fide of the middle part of the Tun- Adost. 

 gebedra is the diftri6t of Adoni, its capital of late, a line city, 

 once tributary to Golcondab. Rachore is another diftridt, which Rachore and 



Canoul. 



of late has become the property of the Nizam. Canoul^ famed 

 for its Nabob, who perifhed after killing in fingle combat the 

 victorious Nizam. 



Innaconda is another little territory, fince annexed to his Innaconda. 

 fucceffor. Palnaud^ with its ftrong fort Timerycotta, is adjacent Palnawd, 

 to the eafl, and now is annexed to the Carnatic. Guntoor is e ^^otta, 

 the moft eaflern and maritime, hereafter to be mentioned as 

 firft of the northern Circars. 



These diilrids, the laft excepted, \\\x\\ Sollapour, another to 

 the weft, on the north fide of the Kri/Jjna, are part of the boun- 

 daries of the once potent kingdom of Golconda. It had Golcosda. 

 been part of the antient Tellingana, which had in old times ex- 

 tended as far as the bower of Fijtapour, and along the coalt all 

 the way from the river Fennar fouth, to Orixa northward, wiiere 

 to this day Mr. Rennel enables me to fay, that the language of 

 Tellingana is ftill fpoken. Golconda, fmce it has been poireffed 

 by the Nizam, has been enlarged by the addition of the terri- 

 tory of Doziiatabad, fince named Aurungabad, and alfo i^art of 

 Berar. The Nizani'i dominions from fouth to north are from 

 Lat. 15° 50', near Canoul, to Lat. 21° 25', near Ga'wile. The 

 ereateft breadth from eafl to wefl is about three hundred and 

 feventy miles. 



The kingdom of Golconda abounds in corn, rice, cattle, flieep. Produce, 

 and every necefiliry of life, alfo in fifli, which are found in the 

 numerous rivers, to the formation of which art in no fmall 



meafure
