PLATE CCXXXVIII 



a and b are the Rabab unga of Assam. Mr. McLeod adds (? Nawab), and thinks it might possibly 

 be a corruption of that name. Mr. Anderson gives No. 1 under the same name,, but 

 Mr. Robinson gives two kinds of shaddocks, viz., the white Boga robab tengd, and the 

 red Ranga robab tengd. Possibly it is one of these, but I think its petiole-wings are 

 too small for a true pumelo, and would seem to belong rather to the Amilbvd group. 

 It is impossible to say whether the Amilbeds and the true pumeks have the same or 

 . different ancestors. If this were of Batavian origin, it would probably have retained 

 either the Bengali name of Batabi tengd, or that of Jakaira tengd. In upper India, 

 however, the pumelos have, from their large size, gained different names, such as Maha 

 nimboo (large nimboo) and Gagree nimboo (jar-like nimboo). Whether this Rabab tenga 

 is one of those mentioned by Mr. Robinson as Shaddocks, or not, I cannot say.
