* The two Erulars we brought with us from below, proved of greater use than we anticipated, as they were well acquainted with this part of the hills. They both pos- sessed much intelligence, and the veracity of their state- ments was afterwards proved by the testimony of a very respectable native of the plains, who for many years had the farming of the revenues of the hills.
They informed us that the Erulars have no marriage contract, the sexes cohabiting almost indiscriminately ; the option of... remaining in union, or of separating, resting principally with the female. Some among them, the favorites of fortune, who can afford deliberately to expend the sum of four or five rupees on festivities, will celebrate their union, by giving a feast to all their friends and neighbours ; and, inviting the Curumbars to attend with their pipe and tabor, spend the night in dance and mer- riment. This, however, is a rare occurrence. Few of them possess any of the implements of husbandry, except * The heat we had experienced on the preceding- day, during- our nether wanderings, drew from us many acknowledgments in favour of the more elevated parts of the mountains ; and a letter that reached us this morning- from a friend at Arcot, t stating- the thermometer there to be at 98° (month of June), while with us it was ranging between 58 and 61°, made us still more admire the temperature, and the healthful breezes that we now enjoyed.
