Mokundurrā,.-Village and pass in Kotah State, Rajputana. See MUKANDWARA. Molakālmuru.-North-eastern Idluk of Chitaldroog District, Mysore, lying between 14° 34' and 15° 2' N. and 760 36' and 76° 52' E., with an area of 290 square miles. The population in 1901 was 37,744, compared with 32,560 in 1891. There are three towns, Molakalmuru (population, 2,915), the head-quarters, Deva- samudra (2,004), and Rampura (1,845); and 94 villages. The land revenue demand in 1903-4 was Rs. 54,ooo. The tkluk is a long and narrow strip of country jutting into Bellary District. A few isolated villages on the west are entirely separated from the re- mainder. The surface is very undulating, and except where rice and garden lands exist is covered with rocks and loose stones. A range of bare rocky hills runs right across the tdluk from south- east to north-west, among which are the Nunke Bhairava hill (3,022 feet) and the Jatinga Ramesvara hill (3,469 feet). More than a third of the surface is occupied by these hills, which are so barren that not a blade of grass or a tree will grow on their sides. Nearly 9 square miles in the south are taken up with kamyuar jungle. The south is comparatively level, but the soil very poor. The Janagahalla river flows along the western boundary for a short distance, and then turns north-east across the tdluk under the name of Chinna-Haggari, receiving the drainage of the bare rocky hills around. All tanks of any importance are close to the river and fed by channels from it. Wells are numerous, and two crops of rice are raised in the year by their means. Betel-vines, tobacco, wheat, and jola are also grown, the first in the north for the Bellary market. Blankets, coarse cotton cloth, women's sans with silk borders, and tape for belts, are the principal manufactures. Iron ore from the Kumarasvami hill in Sandūr State is smelted in one or two villages. Momeik.-Shan State and subdivision of the Ruby Mines District, Upper Burma. See M6NCn11T.
