Nagercoil: (Cotatte, Cottatte, Kottar)
The place Cottate gains an occasional mention in the land muster-rolls of the VOC. The place is referred to as a VOC outpost staffed by only one or two officials. According to contemporary sources, it currently forms part of the city of Nagercoil, in the southern tip of India. Van Reede tot Drakenstein and Van Goens clashed several times on the subject of Kottar and environs. Van Goens felt the area should fall under the administration of Ceylon, while Van Reede wanted it to fall under the aegis of Malabar.

The Company decided to set up a trading base in Ponnekayl, a source of superb pearls. Although the pearl divers were not employed by the Company, they were required to sell their pearls to the VOC.

Alandale: (Alandelle, Allandale, Allandalle)
The VOC settlement on the island of Alandale was of little importance, for throughout the 18th century it was never manned by more than two VOC officials. The small island was located on the Madurese Coast in southern India, a region that within the Company structure fell under the auspices of Ceylon.

Alvatier: (Allwatiernegary)
Alvatier is mentioned in the VOC’s land muster-rolls of 1705. Alvatier is named alongside the settlements on the Madurese Coast in southern India. The ‘Alvatier native station’ was habitually staffed by two VOC officials. Later, in 1715, mention is made of an 18-strong staff at the station. In his history of the VOC (1701) Pieter van Dam names the settlement as Allwatiennegary, situated inland from Tutucorin.
