MYELAT

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 111 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MYELAT , a division of the southern Shan States of Burma, including sixteen states, none of any
great
  size, with a total area of 3723 sq. m., and a population in 1901 of 119,415. The name properly means " the unoccupied country," but it has been occupied for many centuries. All central Myelat and
great
  parts of the northern and southern portions consist of
rolling
  grassy downs quite denuded of jungle. It has a great variey of different races, Taungthus and Danus being perhaps the most numerous. They are all more or less hybrid races. The chiefs of the Myelat are known by the Burmese title of gwegunlamu, i.e. chiefs paying the revenue in silver. The amount paid by the chiefs to the British government is Rs. 99,567. The largest state, Loi
Long
 , has an area of 1600 sq. m., a great part of which is barren hills. The smallest, Nam Hkon, had no more than 4 sq. m., and has been recently absorbed in a neighbouring state. The
majority
  of the states cover less than loo sq. m. Under British administration the chiefs have
powers
  of a
magistrate
  of the second class. The
chief
  cultivation besides
rice
  is
sugar
 -cane, and considerable quantities of crude
sugar
  are exported. There is a considerable
potato
  cultivation, which can be indefinitely extended when cheaper means of export are provided. Wheat also grows very well.
