This head contains so much, I have not time to 

 enter on any thing except a very few things, and I 

 shall keep my eye to staples, or what ought to be 

 such. 



Tobacco is the chief exportable produce of this 

 zilla ; from Nerriad large quantities are annually 

 sent to Upper India, via Malwa. The experiment 

 of curing for the Europe market, has never been at- 

 tempted ; but by a practical hand, I think it might 

 be rendered a useful article. 



Safflower, from the flowers of the Carthamus tinc- 

 torius, is prepared for colouring the turbans of the 

 people, and as the plant grows most luxuriantly, 

 it might be rendered a valuable article of export 

 to Europe. 



Senna might be cultivated to supply both India and 

 Britain, at as cheap a rate as from any other place. 



Colocynth of this the same may be said as of 

 Senna ; it is to be had wild from the jungle in cart 

 loads. 



Cantharides ditto, ditto, and several other medical 

 products.
