SANTALACSM. 



*^The carts that convoy the sandalwood to the coast are hired 

 at low rates, as they are certain of return loads of salt and other 

 merchandise to Mysore, XJntil recGntlyy nearly all the sandal- 

 wood sold in the auctions held by the i^Iysore Government, went 

 to Bombay^ but a demand haying lately arisen for vandal oil for 

 medicinal purposes, some direct shipments of wood for extrac- 

 tion of oil to France and Germany, and, probably, also to 

 America^, have been made/' 



A small quantity of sandalwood is produced in the Madras 

 Presidency, and in the Bombay districts of j^orth Canara and 

 Bharwar, The following figures show the revenue obtained 

 from the wood in the Madras districts in 1889-90:
