Remarks. — Kaudy is situated in a mountainous district, in Lat. N. 7°1 8' ; — Long. 

 SO^g', and at an elevation of about 1680 ft. above the level of the sea. It is so 

 surrounded by high hills, as to render both the direction and force of the wind very 

 difficult to be obtained — but it is strongly affected by both monsoons.
