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 be- 

 sides four foreign species. 

 Nagpore „ 3, of which all were unfit for export. 



Chingleput „ 6, including one specimen of thread. 

 Trichinopoly „ 3, „ two foreign species. 

 Goa „ 1, (uncleaned specimen) doubtful species. 



Vizianagram „ 2, both uufit for export. 

 Madura „ 10, including two 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. 

 G-untoor „ 2, including one good Nankeen. 



Eaichore Dooab 6, „ three of foreign species. 



Kurnool „ 3, all indigenous. • 



Vizagapatam „ 1, of native origin. 



Total 53—15 foreign— 11 doubtful, and 27 indi- 

 genous. 



As regards the nature of the Cottons exhibited the fol- 

 lowing may be observed as to the productions of each dis- 

 trict on the foregoing list. 



To contrast the contributions of all districts it would per- 

 haps be better to tabulate the sources, and varieties of sup- 

 ply. By doing this we may gain some insight into two 

 points of importance, firstly, as to the proved capability of 

 certain districts to ptoduce exotic Cotton, and secondly, as 

 to the nature of it, if so cultivated, and. also of the indi- 

 genoui Cotton now under review as eocMbit^d. • 



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 ex- 

 portation. 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 tne 

 fibre coidd not be recommended as a profitable export, or to 

 be relied on as such.
