In the present investigation, it is observed that there are at least six endogamous Mala populations namely, the Tangala, the Maladasari, the Pakanati, the Rampala, the Murikinati, and the Bommanati inhabiting the two taluks of Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. From the projected distribution of these populations, it is evident that the populations show a regionality in their distribution, without any overlapping even when two different populations inhabit the same village. It can also be inferred that the six Mala populations satisfy Wright's island model of breeding structure. These populations show low mean marriage distances. Within each there is some degree of breeding isolation by distance, and there is an approach to the neighborhood or, more aptly, the stepping stone model
