TRICHINOPOLY. 



Most of the oils usually grown are produced in this district. The 

 supply however being insufficient to meet the local demand, the de- 

 ficiency is imported from Salem, Coimbatore and the neighbouring 

 Collectorates. 



VIZAGAPATAM. 



According to the returns furnished from this district the follow- 

 ing appears to be the proportion in which the several oils therein 

 mentioned are cultivated. Owing however to the great difficulty of 

 obtaining correct information, these numbers must be considered 

 only as an approximation.
