''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 Godavari District, Madras, lying 
between 16° 20' and 16° 35' N. and 81° 44' and 81° 57' E. It is 
surrounded by the western mouth of the Godavari (Vasishta), a large 
branch of this called the Vainateyam, and the Bay of Bengal. The 
island has an area of 137 square miles, and is one of the most fertile 
parts of the fertile Godavari District. The Gannavaram aqueduct 
across the Vainateyam connects it with the navigation and irrigation 
system of the Central Godavari Delta. This work, the largest of its 
kind in the delta, consists of 49 arches of 40 feet span, and is con- 
structed to carry 70,000 cubic yards of water per hour. It irrigates 
about 33,000 acres. A large part of the island is devoted to coco-nut 
plantations and plantain gardens.
