dc.description.abstract	This paper analyses the land revenue administration and the resultant agrarian relations in the region of South Kanara from 1799 to 1862. Sir Thomas Munro was appointed as the first Collector of the region and the land revenue system that he introduced was 'ryotwari' in character. The British annexation of the region had destroyed certain old elements - political, economic and social- which figured in the agrarian system of the pre-annexation period. The Munro System of administration resulted in the emergence of new agrarian relations in South Kanara. The first part of the paper deals with the land revenue system and the agrarian relations form the content of the second part.
