''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. ''

=Ramnad Tahsil=
Zamindari tahsil in the subdivision and estate
of the same name in Madura District, Madras. The population in
1901 was 112,851, compared with 107,601 in 1891. It contains three
towns, RAMNAD (population, 14,546), the head-quarters ; KILAKARAI
(11,078), a decaying seaport on the coast; and RAMESWARAM (6,633),
which stands on the island of Pamban and is noted for its beautiful
temple. The tahsil is an unlovely tract, consisting for the most part
of poor sandy or saline soils, covered with little growth beyond stunted
scrub and palmyra palms. The sea-breezes, however, suffice to keep
it cooler than most of the rest of the District.
