''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. ''

=Tarikere Taluk=

Northern taluk of Kadur District, Mysore State,
lying between 13° 30' and 13° 54' N. and 75° 35' and 76" 9' E., with
an area of 468 square miles. The population in 1901 was 79,472,
compared with 72,352 in 1891. The taluk contains two towns,
Tarikere (population, 10,164), the head-quarters, and Ajjampur
(2,164) ; and 236 villages. The land revenue demand in 1903-4 was
Rs. 1,38,000. The Baba Budan range enters the south-west, its slopes
being covered with heavy forest, partially cleared for coffee plantations.
Along the north are the Ubrani hills, at one time covered with thick
bamboo jungle. The annual rainfall averages 31 inches. Black cotton
soil prevails in the east, which is bare of trees, but yields tine crops of
wheat, cotton, Bengal gram, great millet, &c. On the red soil of other
parts ragi and pulses are grown. Iron ore is worked in the Ubrani
hills, and at Lingadahalli at the western foot of the Baba Budans.
Near Ajjampur are old gold-workings ; and mining has been recently
revived in the Kadur-Mysore mines, under European management, but
so far without much success.
