oct. — dec. 1857.] Oils of Southern India. 15 

 MASULIPATAM. 



Gingeley and Lamp oils are the staple products of this district, 

 the former is said to be cultivated to the extent of about 10,000, 

 and the latter about 15,000 acres. There are but few cocoanut 

 plantations, this oil is therefore chiefly imported, but there is am- 

 ple room for the introduction of this productive cultivation. 



Fish oil is made for local consumption from fish caught on the 

 Colar lake and on the coast, it is chiefly burnt in lamps by the 

 lower classes, but the manufacture appears deserving of encour- 

 agement. Small quantities of Castor, Kurunj, Margosa and Bra- 

 mad undoo are also made.
