Western zamindari tahsil in the Ramnad subdivision and estate, Madura District, Madras. The population in 1901 was 166,769, compared with 164,239 in 1891. It contains 354 villages and two towns : Aruppukkottai (population, 23,633), the head-quarters, which carries on an extensive trade with the neighbouring District of Tinnevelly, and Palaiyampatti (4,967). The chief manufacture is the weaving of cotton cloths of inferior quality. The country is for the most part black cotton soil ; it is desolate and arid, the monotony of the plain being relieved only by palmyra palms and patches of low scrub. The irrigated area is, proportionately to the total extent, very small.
