go is found, in the wild state, in the western jungles, and is cul- 

 tivated in various parts of the Darwar district. It flowers in 

 January and February ; fruit ripe in May and June. The 

 mangoes of this part of India are seldom so good as those of 

 Goa and Bombay ; but a variety, cultivated in the garden of 

 the nuwab of Savanoor, exceeds in size and in beauty any mango 

 I have ever seen. Some of these Savanoor mangos that were 

 sent to me, measured two feet in circumference. 



4. Artocarpus integrifolia, Lin. ; Fannus, Duk. Jach. — 

 This fruit is not abundant in the Darwar district. 



5. Anacardium occidentale, Lin. ; Kqjoo, Duk. Cushoo-nut 

 Tree. — I have only seen this at Kittoor ; but it probably occurs 

 in gardens in other parts of the district. 



6. Spondias mangif'era, Linn. ; Junglee awm, Duk. Wild 

 Mango. 



7. Eugenia jambos, Linn. ; Jamb and Ghoolabee-jamb, Duk. 

 — Rose Apple. 



8. Psidium pyriferum, Lin. ; Jam, Duk. Guava. — This 

 fruit is to be met with in almost every village in the district. 



9- Citrus medica, Lin., two varieties ; Turanj and Neemboo, 

 Duk. Citron and Lime. 



10. Citrus aurantium, Lin. ; Naringha, Duk. Orange. — 

 A small, sweet, pleasant-tasted orange grows in the gardens at 

 Misrecottah. It is not common in other parts of the district. 



11. Citrus decumana, Lin.; Chukotta, Duk. — Pumplemose 

 or Shaddock. 



12. Vitis vini/e?a, Lin. ; Ungear, Duk. Grape Vine. — Ex- 

 cellent grapes are cultivated at Belgaum, Darwar, Dummul, 

 Gokauk, and some other places. There are two varieties, one 

 large, red, and fleshy ; the other small and green. 



13. An7iona retictdata, Lin. ; Ram phul, Duk. Bulloclt's 

 Heart. — This is cultivated in some native gardens. 



14. Annona tripetala, Lin. ; Seeto-phul, Duk. Custard Ap- 

 ple. — This delicious fruit thrives well in most parts of the dis- 

 trict. It flowers at Darwar, in March and April. I am not 

 aware whether it occurs in the wild state in the western jungles ; 

 but it grows in sucli^ great abundance in the granitic soil of the 

 Hydrabad country, as to have sometimes afforded food to the 

 inhabitants, in times of scarcity, in very dry seasons.
