There were other trees not in flower, with which I am quite un- 

 acquainted, amongst these I have little doubt, there are valuable 

 timbers to be discovered. The Lime and the Orange are also found 

 apparently indigenous. 



The chief products ofthe higher ranges are Rice, Mustard, Garlic, 

 Wheat, Barley, Vendiam {Trigonella Foenum Grcecum.) 



Tennay (Setaria* Italica) together with Lablab vulgaris, Limes, 

 Oranges, Peaches and a few Plantains are also grown. A great 

 number of low country Natives, have settled on the Pulney Hills. 

 The Hill tribes are the Poliars and the Koonoovers, these latter 

 tribes are most abundant on the lower Pulnies. 



From Cowajee which is situated at the foot of the Permaulmal- 

 lay, the highest peak ofthe Palnies, I descended to the lower range 

 of the Pulnies, or as they are often called the Tandigoody and Ve- 

 rupatchy Hill, they are I should judge about 4 to 5000 feet above the 

 sea, or perhaps rather more. In the Arepatty valley below the Per- 

 maulmallay there is a good deal of scattered jungle, the timber has 

 been largely felled ; the timber most common there, is the Termi- 

 nalia chebula, the Vengay, (Pterocarpus marsupium) and the Vecka- 

 lie (Co?iocarpus latifolius.) 



The vallies between Vilputty and Cowajee are more or less wood- 

 ed, I here also found Cungilium (Shorea robusta) but no good trees 

 of it left standing. The Warre bakee river runs through this valley 

 and there is a fine fall. Near Pussinkud I saw a few large Teak 

 trees, the only ones that have apparently escaped the general des- 

 truction. The slopes down to Tempollium are extensively wooded, 

 and there is Teak and Cungilium, almost all destroyed, however,
