Statistics of the Sircar Yelgunthul.

second, and south side of the third ranges of hills, and which 

 flow through, and water the vallies separated by them. The first 

 named the Rambudra nullah, falls in, one mile from Gumbeerowpett, 

 it comes from the N. W. and waters that part of the Racherla 

 Purgunnah, canals are cut to three tanks from it, and care bestow- 

 ed to keep them open. 



The Gungah nullah, arises near Ingul on the Western range, 

 and after a course of 25 miles, falls into the Munar at Koodrapak ; 

 at Yamulwadah a dam of earth has been thrown across and a canal 

 cut to the tank, but the latter has been allowed to fill up, and it is 

 now almost useless. 



The Mohedomada nullah arises in the Bhongeer Sircar, and has 

 a Northerly course of 14 miles ; the tank at Rainkoorta is filled 

 from it ; the Goondairoo flows S. E. from Nairella to Doorshed, a 

 distance of 28 miles, it passes Podoor, Numlikondah and Ram- 

 muddagoo where canals are cut for irrigation but no tanks are filled 

 from it. It is a broad sandy nullah with steep banks. 



The Suly nullah waters the detached Purgunnahs of Velchal and 

 Vejaghery, enters at Muddycoonta where it is joined by a large 

 branch from Cherkoor, it runs past Pothgul and Velchal falls into the 

 Munar four miles North of the latter ; it has high banks, a sandy 

 bed, and contains water during the greater part of the year. 



The other nullahs arise from the North side of the Podoor range 

 of hills, and the table land to the Westward. The largest called 

 by the Natives Pedda Wagoo arises at Murreala, and after a serpen- 

 tine course of 38 miles in a N. E. direction falls into the Godavery 

 near Peddemuggadoo, it is joined by others during its course, and 

 attains a breadth of 200 yards. There are no anicuts, and Korutla 

 and Jylapoorum are the only places where small canals are cut to 

 water lands. In the hot season this nullah is perfectly dry. 



There is also a considerable nullah without a name commencing 

 at the Juctial tank, and following Eastward by Polass, Kulada, 

 and Chekulla, near which it crosses the boundary, and falls into 

 the Godavery in the Ramghere Sircar ; although the lowness of the 

 banks of this nullah are highly favourable for cutting canals, yet
