The Jaca or Jac Tree a7id Fririt-*~The Gardener and the Fruit in 



just proportion. 



The Jac Fruit, (Artocarpus integrifolia, Lin .) often grows to a larger 

 size than is even here exhibited; and, according to the general ceconomy 

 of nature, it has been wisely ordained to grow immediately out of the 

 trunk and strongest boughs of the tree, as it would be impossible for the 

 slender branches to sustain its enormous weight It is particularly de= 

 scribed in the Memoirs. 



VII. 



The Cobra de Capello, Naga, or Hooded Snake of Hindostan. 



The Serpent represented in this engraving is not of the largest f izeof the 

 Coluber Naga : the drawing was made from the Spectacle or Hooded 

 Snake, mentioned in the Memoirs to have killed the market-woman in the 

 bazar at Bombay. The spots and colours vary in this class of serpents, par- 

 ticularly in the spectacle marks in the expanded hood. The Cobra de 

 Capello selected for this drawing was one of the most common, and one of 

 the highest coloured of its kind. 



VIII. 



Dancing Snakes and Musicians. 



Engraved from a drawing taken on the spot by Baron de Montalembert, 

 when aid-du-camp to General Sir John Cradock in India. It is in all re- 

 spects an exact representation of the Cobra de Capello, or Hooded Snake, 

 with the Musicians who accompany them throughout Hindostan; and 

 exhibits a faithful picture of the costume of the natives, usually assembled 

 in the bazars on such occasions.
