PLATE CVI. 



a and b was kindly sent to me by Dr. J. Shortt, from Yercaud, in the Shevaray Hills, S. India. 

 He stated it is there called the country orange. Natives call it Kolinje, and about 

 Madras it is called Kitchlee. 



Externally deep orange, smooth ; slightly foveolate. The rind had a peculiar 

 scent, with the aroma of the " Lantana." It was faintly five-sided, and had fourteen 

 carpels. The pulp was rather pale orange ; the juice thick with mucilage, and did 

 not taste like that of ordinary oranges; with a sui generis flavour. The skin was 

 loosely attached, and the flavour was not what I should call pleasant, with a soupgon 

 of bitter. 



c shows its juice-vesicles, with pedicelled ones only at the circumference angles of the carpels. 



d and e are oranges I purchased at Mangalore. I was told they came from Coorg. They 

 appeared to be Suntara oranges of the Nagpore variety. The pulp was deep orange ; 

 juice abundant and sweet, and the seeds were few. The exterior was of a pale 

 orange and fovelate ; the centre was hollow ; / is the section of d, which had a 

 flattened mammilla at the base. 



At Calicut and Cochin I found small oranges of the same stamp as those of Mangalore. 

 Probably they came also from Coorg, although at Cochin they said they came from Madras. 

 T was informed that iu Canarese the orange is called Kitle-hanrwo (hannoo= fruit).
