Madras Presidency. 



SOUTH CANAKA DISTRICT. 



Chhrmhdy. Here there is a District Officers' Bungalow. 

 This place is only good early in the fishing season, as the 

 stream here soon gets too small. Fish may be killed 

 exactly opposite the Bungalow; but I would recommend 

 walking down the stream to where the hills close in on 

 it, and then fishing downwards. 



Khrhal. There is a good stream about 2 miles' walk 

 from hence. It is the river into which runs the tank

 will want a guide. 



Kirebhg. A very good place early in the season. Shoot- 

 ing also good. But difficult of access, and no accommo- 

 dation. 



Sampaje. There is a Travellers' Bungalow here. Do 

 not fish the stream in front of it; it is too small to do 

 much in. Take the road to the coast for about a quar- 

 ter of a mile beyond the bridge, and with a guide strike 

 through the wood on your left to the main river. If you 

 fish late, look out for tigers; "reddas incolumen precor." 



Sirhdi* There is a Travellers' Bungalow here at pre- 

 sent, but supplies are somewhat scanty, so go provided. 

 The river may be fished both above and below the Bunga- 

 low. There is a long gap of still water above the Bunga- 

 low. Above this the river is full of runs again. The 

 Cubbinali stream may also be ridden to, and fished. 



Subramani. Good till December or January. The
