These rules are framed to prevent the taking up of land, which properly is held or occupied by native Nicobarese. Registers are to be maintained-(1) of land within a twomiles radius from the jetty at Nancoury, (2) beyond that distance, and (3) register of transfers.

The conditions of licenses (endorsed on each license) vary according as the land is within the two-miles radius or beyond it.

In the latter case no rent or revenue is charged for fifteen years; after that one rupee per acre is payable annually1.

In the Nicobars the land measure used is the acre of 43,568 square feet, which is divided into fractions

called 'one auna, or one pio' re

spectively. The 'anna' is the onesixteenth part (2722 square feet) and the pie the twelfth of that (226 9 square foot).
