This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS. |
Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
Island in the Gudur taluk of Nellore District, Madras, lying between 13° 29' and 13° 59' N. and 80° 11' and 80° 21' E. Population (1901), 11,149- It is a long, low bank of alluvial deposit, rising a few feet above sea-level, 35 miles in length and 6 miles wide at its broadest part. It is washed on the east by the Bay of Bengal and on the west by the Pulicat Lake, and stretches from Coromandel on the south to Dugarazupatnam on the north, where it is separated from the mainland by a narrow channel. The island, which was transferred from the District of Madras City in 1865, contains eighteen Government villages, one shrotrietn, and one zaminddri village. It is covered with dense jungle, which forms one of the chief sources of supply of firewood for the Madras market, the wood being transported by a tramway 13 miles long and carried to Madras by the Buckingham Canal. Casuarina grows well on the sandy soil. The climate is unhealthy, and there is much elephantiasis. Along the Pulicat I,ake a narrow strip of land is under rice, and round the huts scanty crops of ragi are raised. The island is one of the homes of the Yanadis, a forest tribe numerous in this District.
