² [Vengurla (Vingorla) is now included in the Ratnāgiri District, and has a flourishing import and export trade. It was ceded to the British by the Rānī of Sāvantvādi in 1812. Its port light-houses, erected on the mainland in 1869, and the Rock Lighthouse built in 1870 on an isolated rock nine miles north-west of the town, are well known to mariners. (I.G. Bom., 1909, ii. 169; B.G., x. 2, 374 ff.)]
