western limit in Sindh are almost entirely wanting. The fol- 

 lowing are all that are contained in Dr. Stocks* catalogue, 

 excluding plants manifestly cultivated (such as Tamarindus), 

 Rhus Mysorensis, Zizyphus Jujuba, Hedyotis aspera, Coldenia 

 procumbens, Salvia plebeia (a New Holland plant), Clerodendron 

 phlomoides, Arislolochia bracteata, and Zeuocine sulcata. There 

 are, however, a considerable number of species which have 

 not been met with in Egypt or Arabia, but which belong to 

 genera characteristic of those countries, and are very closely 

 related to Egyptian species. Instances of this kind are Crota- 

 laria Burhia, Dicoma lanuginosa, Leptadenia Jacquemontiana, 

 Oocystelma esculent am, Linaria ramosissima,Streptium aspefitm, 

 Solanum gracilipes, Chanuerops Ritchiana. If we add to tins 

 enumeration the coast flora of Sonaeratia, Rhizophora, Ceriops, 

 Sccevola, JEgiceras, Ipomoea Pes-capm, and Avicennia, a good 

 general idea is given of the nature of the flora of Sindh.

 pur, Bikanir, and Jesalmir, lies in the basin of the Indus to 

 the west of the Arawali range. The remainder of the pro- 

 vince, consisting of the states of Mewar, Jaipur, Kotah, and 

 Gwalior, is situated in the basin of the river Chanibal, the
