A " Manual " of the Cuddapah district, as then consti tuted, was compiled by the late Mr. J. D. B. Gribble, I.C.S., in 1875· The present gazetteer is prep3;red on different · lines, and exigencies of form and matter have necessitated the omission of much that is still of interest in the old manual, which has thus not been revised so much as partially replaced. Statistics are under the present system relegated as far as possible to a separate volume of Appendices, which it is proposed to revise decennially, after every census. Where so many have assisted me in the collection of material for this book it would be invidious to name a few. My thanks are due to them all, officials and others, for their prompt replies to my demands for information of all kinds, . without which I could never have completed the work while engaged in the resettlement of another distri~t.
