There are feveral other principalities in this country that I do not find mentionedin this lift, as Cannanore and Tannore, whofe government are in the hands of Ma-hometans, or Malabar Moors. The kingdoms of Couchin and Porcat are not putdown in the lift, nor Paarow, which are potent principalities; and the Samorin ,or empire of Calecut , one of the moft potent of them all, has no place in this lift.But,
The country, though large and populous, is not fruitful in corn, for there is abun-dance of rice imported from Canara; but, being low and fandy all along the fea-coaft,except a few rifing grounds, which are the moft iterile, yet it nourifhes vaft numbersof cocoa-nut and arecka trees, whofe fruit brings them great gains from other coun-tries. The higher grounds produce pepper and cardamums, the beft in the world ;and their woods teak timber and angelique for building, fandal wood, or faunders,white and yellow caffia lignum, or wild cinnamon, and caflia fiftula, nux vomica,and cocolus India ; Drugs grow plentifully in their woods, which are alfo well ftoredwith wild game both for pleafure and ufe. Their mountains produce iron andfteel, but not fo good as we have in Europe . And their fea is ftored with manyfpecies of excellent fifties.
