150 INTEODUCTORT TO THE TABLES OF ROUTES. 



At Tellicherry, and Cannanore also, there are bungalows, 

 and other accommodations for travellers. 



Having given the above directions and information, for 

 the guidance of travellers, we shall now add the Tables of 

 routes and distances from each of the places before mentioned, 

 generally, to and from the Hills. 



Since penning the foregoing remarks, the Editor has re- 

 ceived a communication from a friend in the Public Works 

 Department of the Madras Grovernment, which he regrets 

 did not reach him in time to modify the observations made 

 in treating of the anticipated new road to Kotergherry from 

 " Seeramogay." 



The intimation conveyed to the Editor is, to the effect, 

 " That a first class carriage road is under estimate to be made 

 from Seeramogay to Kotergherry, by such easy gradients as 

 would necessarily extend the distance to 30 miles, but, as it 

 would be travelled with comfort by carriages, it would be 

 altogether a more desirable trace then having a tedious Grhaut 

 to ascend. This new road would be continued to Oota- 

 eamund, and then, for the first time, a carriage road would 

 connect it with Kotergherry, a desideratum which has too 

 long prevented daily intercourse between the two stations. 



" There would also be branch carriage roads to Coonoor 

 and Jackatalla ; and, if this projected road is sanctioned by 

 the Madras Grovernment, it will be completed by the time 

 the intended branch line of railroad is extended to Seera- 

 mogay." 



This intimation, however, is accompanied by a remark that 

 another project is also under consideration, namely, to form 

 the approach up the Pass to Coonoor by means of an inclined 

 plane and rails, worked by a water-wheel ; but even then 

 the carriage roads would be made from Coonoor to Ootaca- 

 mund and Kotergherry, and from the latter to Jackatalla.
