An analysis of the foregoing remarks will show that the following places 

 were represented as supplying Cotton. 



Of the 53 specimens exhibited : 



Salem supplied 8, of which one was Nankeen Cotton besides 4 foreign species. 

 Nagpore 3, all were unfit for export. 



Chingleput 6, including one specimen of thread. 

 Trichinopoly 3, 2 foreign species. 



Goa 1, (uncleaned specimen) doubtful species. 



Vizianagram 2, both unfit for export. 

 Madura 10, including 2 good foreign varieties. 



Cuddapah 2, indigenous species only. 

 Bellary 2, one exotic, one native. 



Paulghaut 1, of doubtful character. 

 Hyderabad 4, of which one was exotic. 

 Guntoor 2, including one good Nankeen. 



RaichoreDooab,, 5, 3 of foreign species. 

 Kurnool 3, all indigenous 



Yizagapatam 1 , of native origin. 



Total... 5 3 15 foreign 11 doubtful, and 27 indigenous. 



As regards the nature of the Cottons Exhibited the following may be 

 observed as to the productions of each district on the foregoing list. 



To contrast the contributions of all districts it would perhaps be better to 

 tabulate the sources, and varieties of supply. By doing this we may gain 

 some insight into two points of importance, firstly as to the proved capabi- 

 lity of certain districts to produce Exotic Cotton, and secondly, as to the 

 nature of if, if so cultivated, and also of the indigenous Cotton now under 

 review as exhibited. 



In the following we therefore see the place of supply of all Cottons ; the 

 number of these which were of exotic species and of the varieties of native 

 Cotton ; and, as regards both descriptions, the suitability or otherwise of 

 these for exportation. The points relied on in this respect were the length 

 of staple and the cleaned or uncleaned condition of the sample ; for unless 

 satisfactory in these respects the fibre could not be recommended as a pro- 

 fitable export, or to be relied on as such.
