leaf, and flower-stalks are eaten. The Rhizome yields a large 
revenue on lake Munchur. The NeZumbium and the Nymphaea 
pubescens, whose root-tubers (Lorheon) I sent in Decr., are invalu- 
able to the natives. They are enumerated along with jish as the 
three things which the opening of a particular line of canal would 
bring to a tribe on its banks—in an old Scinde prophecy :—
