Abstract

WOULD you allow me to supplement my inquiries published in last week's NATURE (p. 105) by asking for a description of the Pambam-arivy Falls in India, of which I have only the following brief note:β€”β€œIn the Travancore Hills between Tinevelly and Travancore is situate the magnificent Pambam-arivy, or Snake Fall. It is a double fall, descending in the first plunge from the cliff edge 1200 feet, and it can be seen from a distance of forty miles.”
