THE NULLAMULLAYS. 



leaving, unfortunately, much country that is still to be ex- 

 plored, especially the region to the north of Cummum and 

 along both banks of the Kistnah to the eastward of Irla 

 Conda. I do not expect that there will be any higher re- 

 gions found than those already noted, or even better tracts 

 of jungle ; but it is reported that there are many interest- 

 ing ruins and some fine scenery ; and the Natural History, 

 Botany and Geology of this part of the country seem to 

 promise every reward to the searcher. The mere navigation 

 of the mountain valley of the Kistnah from end to end (a 

 feat, 1 believe, yet unaccomplished), apart from the novelty 

 and peril of the journey, would be of interest, as one of the 

 Irrigation Company's former Engineers has thrown some 

 doubt on the accuracy of the course of the river> as laid 

 down in the Atlas Sheet, 



Note. — I have throughout this paper generally used the Telugu names 

 of trees. Captain Beddome has in his Report given a list of all the 

 trees known on the Nullamullays, from which' I take the liberty of ex- 

 tracting the scientific terms for a few noted by me.
