-which is an error. The Amildar says, that they may be planted at
five or six fathoms distance from each other. At 36 feet, an acre
will plant about 33 trees; the produce of each of which may be
estimated at five Fanams, or a little more than three shillings. It is
very seldom, however, that a piece of ground is fully planted.
June ISth.—I went three cosses to Malalawady, a village of the
Chcna-pattana district. The greater part of the country through
which 1 passed is overgrown with low trees and bushes, and very
little of uhat is arable is actually cultivated. By the way I crossed
three times the channel of a small river named the Swarna-riM.i It
comes from Aulcul, and joins the Arkawatia. little above Kanyakarna-
hully, Malalaxvady is a small town, with a ruinous fort. Before the
invasion of Lord Cornwallis, it contained three hundred houses*
lipp'io, in order to prevent its being of use to his enemies, burned
it. Most of the wretched inhabitants perished from hunger and
disease ; and although it met with no disturbance in the last war, it
now contains only -sixty-eight houses. It stands eight cosses from
the Cavery, and is surrounded by some good dry fieltls. JRagy and
Horse-gram form the chief part of the crops, sell at about the same
price, and are equally used in the common diet of the inhabitants.
June 14th.—1 went four cosses to Tully. Soon after leaving Mala-
lawady, I entered a hilly country, which continued until I reached
Tully, the first place in the districts belonging to Karnata that have
bet-n added to the Company's province of the Bdra-mahal. To-day
I crossed the &®arna-r£kd again three times.
Tally is an open village near a small fort, and contains about
Sixty houses. Before the invasion of Lord Cornwallis it contained
about five hundred. After the capture of Bangalore, many of the
inhabitants retired to Tully, and obtained from the Sultan a guard
of five hundred horse, and two thousand foot. The detachment
from the British armv atHoss'uru, having heard of this, marched all
night, and at day-break surprised Tully. The garrison were roused
