Two small hill ranges ran from east to vest through the southern
portion of Jammalamadugu, both of which are parts of the protrudes
(Errakondas) or -red hills.' One of them divides the M1uk from Puli-
vendla; and the other, which lies parallel to it, reaches its highest
point at the fine gorge where. the Penner bends sharply to the north
and flows by. Gandikom to the town of Jammalamadugu. The Pen
and: Chitravati fivers join near Gandhi, on the west of the silsk, and
their united channel drains the greater portion of the country. In the
precipitous gorge of Gandikota the river is reduced to an average width
of 200 yards; but in the level plain near the chief town it is at least
three times as broad. Its waters m utilized to some slight extent for
irrigation channels, but the ma which the land rises from the
river banks prevents any great u erbeing made of thane Except the
Penner basin, the whole of she lāluk may be included in the black
cotton soil tract. The quality of the land varies considerably, being
excellent in the north and west, but only mediocre in the south. The
wide plains of black soil are almost entirely divided between the two
crops of kola, and cotton. Indigo, gram and oilseeds are also
ised; but water is scarce that rice and rągi may be said to be
confined to the immediate neighbourhood of the Pence, and its
channels. The lrzluk has been liable from time to time to inundations.
