My attention having been turned to the distribution of 

 soils in the eastern portion of Goruckpoor district, it struck 

 me that the vegetation, though in many respects the same, 

 did not completely correspond throughout ; as circumstances 

 enabled me to obtain from intelligent natives lists of plants 

 occurring in the forests of the two prevailing descriptions of 

 land, I availed myself of this advantage to have such com- 

 piled. The foregoing catalogue formed of the materials 

 now mentioned, proves the stores of the different portions of 

 the country to vary in many points. It would have been satis- 

 factory to have had the position which the different plants 

 hold in the Linnaean system pointed out, but this my want of 

 knowledge of the subject does not enable me to attempt. 

 Mr. Piddington's Index of Indian plants will help the student 

 to effect this ; and in many instances, but not in all, for some 

 of the names being local, and the pronunciation of others 

 being provincial, will render it difficult, or impossible, in a 

 variety of cases to discover in that gentleman's lists, the 

 names even of common plants here enumerated.
