These tables give the actual loss of population, agricultural 

 stock and revenue, and the rate at which recovery from 

 these losses has taken place. I have added three columns 

 shewing fall of rain at Masulipatam, which I have obtained 

 through the kindness of Mr. Alexander, the Master Attend- 

 ant there, a gentleman whose long experience and habits of 

 observation render him an excellent authority in all matters 

 connected with the state of the country in which he has dwelt 

 so many years. Among the deductions that may be made 

 immediately from these records, are, that the revenue levied 

 in Guntoor in 1831 was 3 Rupees 9 l w Annas per man : in 

 1842 it is 3 Rupees 9^ Annas. The number of cattle to 

 each 100 of the population in 1831 was 67 bullocks and cows 

 and 96 sheep and goats. In 1842, it is 87 bullocks and cows, 

 and 145 sheep and goats. The number of milch cattle has 

 trebled between 1833 and 1842 or in 9 years. The increase 

 in the number of bullocks is not so great, but this is to be ac- 

 counted for by the exportation for sale ; — Guntoor being 

 famous for its horned cattle. The number of sheep and goats 

 in the same period of nine years has also trebled itself. But the 

 human population has increased only by 40 per cent, and of
