App. A. Madura. Malabar. Salem. 243 



"I (the unknown writer, apparently Colonel Haly) have 

 "never failed to kill lots; but wading is here absolutely 

 "necessary, and by resorting to it good sport is certain, 

 "as the river, and even the smaller streams here about 

 "are alive with fish." 



MADURA DISTRICT. 

 The Vygay being generally a dry sandy bed only, 

 you cannot expect any Mahseer in that; but you may get 

 sport at the Pamben channel, about which see page 152. 



MALABAR DISTRICT. 

 There are any number of fine rivers, which must hold 

 as good fish as the Canara rivers close by. I know the 

 river, which is the boundary between Canara and Mala- 

 bar, is full of Mahseer, so I conclude the other rivers 

 of Malabar are equally full. 



SALEM DISTRICT. 



The Cavery in this District abounds with Mahseer, 

 but keep to the runs. 



Hoginkal, or the smoking rock, which is about five 

 miles ride from Pennagaram, mis-spelt Pengugaram in 

 the Ordnance map, is a very picturesque spot. Its grand 

 falls and rocks are well worth a visit. Fine runs for 

 Mahseer abound here; so do crocodiles! Tents are re- 

 quired. No supplies except from Pennagaram. There 

 ought to be many other places along the Cavery which 

 I do not happen to know.
