1835

The 13howini river rising in the western side of the Iitindas and among all the hills of that group runs in an easterly direction along the foot of the side of the Neilgherries and just below the apex of the triangle is joined by the Movar which together with the Paykar having their origin in the Noddimatty range precisely opposite the sources of the Bliowitni and making a sharp curve afte [...] the particles of the yellow clay which undisturbed by the vicinity of the black soil arranged themselves concentrically to the root ; and the latter decaying has left the cavity of the tube etnptyt. [...] We often see the still undecomposed nucleus of the rock protruding through the soil surrounded and enveloped by the numerous concentric layers of the decomposed rock the bassets of which we see level with the soil the upper portion of them having been disintgrated into a detritus which is scattered on the soil in the vicinity of the blocks. [...] It is the belief of some people that owing to the similarity of the rocks of the detritus and of the quartz veins of the Malabar coast and of these hills gold may be found in this last as well as in the former. [...] In that place the iron ore bed crosses the stream ; forms numerous projecting masses on the slope of the opposite hill having a N. E. direction ; crosses the road of Nandiwatam and terminates in the summit of the hillock to the N. E. of the road ; beyond the latter place this rock cannot be traced.
