W. CULLEN, ResidenL 



Copy of a Letter from the Dewan of Cochin. 



439 



. 1847. 



To Major General W. Cullen, British Resident 



of Travancore Jind Cochin. 



Sir, — I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No, 

 1484, under date the 21st October last, with its enclosure (copy of a 

 letter from the Secretary to the Government of India to the Secre- 

 tary to Government Fort St. George, and also one from the Hon'ble 

 the Court of Directors), and in reply to state, that it does not appear 

 that there have been any such extensive clearances of forest in the 

 Cochin country as to affect or influence the fall of rain. 



Clearances, however, have taken place in different directions to 

 a limited extent from one to four miles, and have been in every in- 

 stance followed by decreased moisture and an increased productive- 

 ness in the soil. 



I have the honor, &c. 



(Signed) Shungra Wakriek, 

 Huzzoor Cutcherry, Ernacolum, \ Deican.
