5. Convolvulus batatas, Lin. ; Shukhur Tcundoo, Duk. Sweet 

 Potato. 



6. Daucus Carotn, Lin. ; Gajoor, Duk. Carrot. — The car- 

 rot is very extensively cultivated in this district, and attains such 

 perfection, that the carrot seed of the Southern Mahratta coun- 

 try is in great request in other parts of India. 



7. Allium Cepa, Lin. ; Peeaz, Dak. Onion. 



8. Allium sativum, Lin. ; Lussum, Duk. Garlic. 



9. Solanum Melongena, Lin. ; Byngim, Duk. Brinjal or 

 Egg Plant. 



10. Capsicum Jrutescens, Lin. ; Lnl mirchee, Duk. Chilly. 

 — The chilly is very extensively cultivated in fields as well as in 

 gardens, and is much used by the natives as a condiment. The 

 Ryut often makes a mixture of chillies, turmeric, and other ve- 

 getable substances, which he takes with him to the field, and 

 eats, spread on a juwarry cake. Marshall calls this plant the 

 Capsicum annuum in his Statistical Report, which is evidently 

 a mistake. 



11. Capsicum grossum, Lin. ; Kaffray mirchee, Duk. Cqf- 

 Jry Chilly. — This is only cultivated, in small quantity, in the 



gardens of Europeans at Darwar and Belgaum. 



12. Raphanus sativus, Lin. ; Moollce, Duk. Radish. 



13. Momordica charantia, Lin.; Karaila, Duk. 



14. Cucumis acutangulus, Lin. ; Toraee, Duk. Acute- 

 angled Cucumber. — This vegetable is eaten by the natives, both 

 raw and dressed in various ways, but is not esteemed by Eu- 

 ropeans *. 



15. Cucumis sativus, Lin. ; Kunkuraee, Duk. Cucumber. — 

 This is cultivated in small quantity in the gardens of Europeans. 

 Some other cucumbers are also cultivated by the natives, but in 

 less quantity than the last species. 



16. Cucuynis Melo,\An.:, Khurbooza,Ti\ik. Melon. — Is cul- 

 tivated in small quantity in some parts of this district, generally 

 in sandy soil, on the banks of streams. 



17. Cucurbita lagenaria, Lin. ; Hurea kuddoo, Duk. White 

 Pumpkin. 



• A diarrhoea, which prevails to a great extent, in certain seasons, among 

 the native inhabitants at Darwar, I am inclined to attribute to the large 

 quantity of raw cucumbers they eat.
