which origin it may be understood that the low Polahjars ( or Poolias of 

 Ahhe Raynal) are derived. The writer gave his production to Mr. Turn- 

 hull, whom I remember as having been employed in the survey depart- 

 ment, among the hills, in the extreme south. 



It is then stated that the Polmyars are sold as slaves ; a pair fetching 

 various prices from 300, up to 400, 600, 800, or 1000, cJmcrams.

Mention of a king who, when bathing, had his foot bitten by a lobster;

 was found in it ; which was afterwards, put on the neck of the image in 

 the fane at Trivanderam.

 consequence.
