A Gazetteer of the Godavari district published under the Madras district gazetteer series. The Godavari District lies on the North-East Coast of the then presidency of Madras. It has an area of 5634 square miles and extends from 160 2’ to 180 4’ North and 100 52 ’ to 120 36 ’ East. Like all gazetteers this too follows a set plan; the book is divided into 15 chapters, ad each chapter describes a different aspect. The chapters describe the physical country, political history, the people, agriculture and irrigation, forests, occupations and trade, means of communication, rainfall and seasons, public health, education, land revenue administration, salt, abkari and miscellaneous revenue, administration of justice and finally the gazetteers offers a short note on the villages of the area. This book is a reprint of the 1915 edition. A thin volume of statistical data accompanies this book.
