Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sacred Chank of India: A Monograph of the Indian Conch (Turbinella Pyrum) Tuticorin in 1791, when the net produce was divided equally between the Dutch and Mr. Torin acting for the Madras Government who had assumed the revenues of the Nawab. And in 1794 the Dutch received as their half share in the chank fishery for that year, the sum of pagodas. In the next year the Madras Govern ment had again to take possession of Tuticorin from the Dutch to whom it was not given back till 1818. Upon the rendition of the fort and factory, the Nether lands Commissioner demanded an admission ofhis right to the whole revenue from the pearl and chank fisheries, a claim which the East India Company resisted as having succeeded to the sovereign rights of the Nawab of the Carnatic. The Madras Government pointed out that the pearl banks being scattered along the coast of Tinnevelly could not therefore come within the limits of any Dutch settlement; that the Portuguese and after wards the Dutch usurped the command of the whole Gulf, they said was very probable and it was quite probable that the Dutch for a time kept to themselves the whole revenues derived from these fisheries, but as they held them by no deed and by no cession, they might be said to have held them so long only as they could keep them. Voluminous evidence was collected to prove that the native rulers - the Nayak of Madura and the Nawab 0f the Carnatic had never relinquished their claims to these fisheries and the dispute had been referred to Europe for settlement when, in 1825, the annexation of all Dutch settlements in India rendered it unnecessary to further debate this contention since 1825 and indeed since 1801, when the Carnatic was ceded finally to the British, the Madras Government have exercised absolute and undivided control of both the pearl and chank fisheries off the Tinnevelly coast.

Download or read book Marine Shells of Goa written by Sangeeta M. Sonak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique introduction to the study of shells and molluscs for all those who take pleasure in shells, the treasure of the sea. However, unlike other shell albums, compendiums or guides, the central focus of this book is on shells and not molluscs. Therefore, in addition to the classification and identification of shells, the book also addresses aspects including the shell art and shell craft of Goa, the importance of shells, and literary works related to shells and their writers. The book also describes various shell habitats of Goa. The primary objective of this book is to introduce readers to the concept of shell heritage and to spark curiosity and scientific interest, not just among conchologists but also local and visiting beachgoers. Accordingly, it primarily uses straightforward, non-technical language. The book will also appeal to those readers without any previous knowledge of the subject, helping them to understand and appreciate the shells that they collect from the seashores of Goa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1894, equipped with a set of anthropometric instruments obtained on loan from the Asiatic Society of Bengal, I commenced an investigation of the tribes of the Nīlgiri hills, the Todas, Kotas, and Badagas, bringing down on myself the unofficial criticism that “anthropological research at high altitudes is eminently indicated when the thermometer registers 100° in Madras.” From this modest beginning have resulted:—(1) investigation of various classes which inhabit the city of Madras; (2) periodical tours to various parts of the Madras Presidency, with a view to the study of the more important tribes and classes; (3) the publication of Bulletins, wherein the results of my work are embodied; (4) the establishment of an anthropological laboratory; (5) a collection of photographs of Native types; (6) a series of lantern slides for lecture purposes; (7) a collection of phonograph records of tribal songs and music. The scheme for a systematic and detailed ethnographic survey of the whole of India received the formal sanction of the Government of India in 1901. A Superintendent of Ethnography was appointed for each Presidency or Province, to carry out the work of the survey in addition to his other duties. The other duty, in my particular case—the direction of a large local museum—happily made an excellent blend with the survey operations, as the work of collection for the ethnological section went on simultaneously with that of investigation. The survey was financed for a period of five (afterwards extended to eight) years, and an annual allotment of Rs. 5,000 provided for each Presidency and Province. This included Rs. 2,000 for approved notes on monographs, and replies to the stereotyped series of questions. The replies to these questions were not, I am bound to admit, always entirely satisfactory, as they broke down both in accuracy and detail. I may, as an illustration, cite the following description of making fire by friction. “They know how to make fire, i.e., by friction of wood as well as stone, etc. They take a triangular cut of stone, and one flat oblong size flat. They hit one another with the maintenance of cocoanut fibre or copper, then fire sets immediately, and also by rubbing the two barks frequently with each other they make fire.”
