Mr. C. Nickels, of the Passewa Factory, Jaunpore, writing 

 on 2/th January, 1886, says : 



" I had a great collection of oranges, limes, and lemons in 

 my garden ; but a blight attacked my trees, and the greater 

 part of them were killed, including the kaghzi nimboo, and 

 those that are left are sickly." 



No. 21. 



" Faramosh," or Indian Philippine." 



On the 1st August, 1886, I found a double lemon (shown 

 in pi. 223, figs, a and b), formed by the fusion of two 

 ovaries. I was told that when any double fruit, such as 

 mango or other, is found, a sort of game is played with it, as 

 with the English Philippine. The finder of this double fruit 

 presents it to some one. If the latter takes it into his hand, 

 the former says farambsh (forgotten), and exacts 200 of 

 the same kind of fruit. If on the contrary, before taking it 

 he says yad (remember), then he forfeits nothing. They 

 also play it by agreement English fashion. It is a great 

 game among native children. Whether it was the Europeans 

 or the Orientals who originated this game I do not know. I 

 had never heard of this Indian Philippine before.
