''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. ''

much influence upon its people and conditions. The population in
1901 was 262,478, compared with 224,472 in 1891, the increase of
nearly 1 7 per cent, being due to its including several villages which are
really suburbs of Madras, The density, 767 persons per square mile, is
higher than in any other taluk in the District.

of land levenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to Rs, 3,44,000 It con-
tains 6 towns and 255 villages. SAIDAPET (population, 14,254) is the
head-quarters of the District and of the taluk. The other five towns are
SEMBIEM (population, 17,567), TIRUVOTTIYUR (15,919), ST. THOMAS'S
MOUNT (15,571), POONAMALLEE (15,323), and PALLAVARAM (6,416).
The Korttalaiyar, the Cooum, and the Adyar riveis flow through the
taluk, Its general appearance is flat and uninteresting ; but here and
theie occur hills of no great elevation, on many of which are perched
either a temple or a bungalow, which serve to relieve the monotony of
the aspect.
