IVly readers will readily understand tliafc among a 

 primitive and uneducated class like the inhabitants of the 

 Mulnaad of Mysore, that the names of trees although gene- 

 rally known and studiously respected, can in no way be 

 accepted as expressing any actual generic distinction, con- 

 cerning which the natives know little or nothing. 



In explanation I will merely give one example, 



Hulsoo or Hulsen Murra is the Jack. 



Hulse-n Hunnoo is Jack Fr-uit. 



Feringhee Hulsen Hunnoo is the Pine Apple. 



The sound of Cauarese words is also very misleading 



thus. 



Goorcul (ft/ad* ) is the Charcoal Tree. 



Gooracul (rtjstf'g^) is the Coffee Weed. 



Goreecole (TtaO^ja^) means a Torch, 



Gorecul (tfjsd^ujs ) means Quartz, 

 again 



tJllee Murra (^ 3rf) is the Peepul Tree, 



tlllalee Murra ($9^*3$ 3otf) a tree bearing Gall Nuts, 



Ullee &% means teased cotton.
