Account of the Botanic Garden at Sehardnpur. 



[Feb. 



in our knowledge respecting the vegetable products of India, as well as 

 our ignorance respecting the nature of the acids furnished by different 

 vegetables. I have no doubt that both Tartaric and Citric Acids might 

 be manufactured, while of Alkalies, both Potash and Soda exist in 

 every bazar, and require only purification to be fit for every purpose. 



From the above enumeration, it is hoped it will appear that endea- 

 vours have been made to make the H. C.'s Botanic Garden contribute 

 to the progress of Botanical Science, at the same time that it has been 

 made practically useful in distributing to the surrounding provinces 

 plants both of a useful and ornamental nature. 



As the situation was favourable, and little is known of the Natural 

 History in other departments of the northern provinces of India, 

 collections have been made of the skins and bones of mammalia; 

 of stuffed specimens of birds ; of insects, as well as of other branches of 

 Natural History ; together with a collection of articles used as medicinal 

 agents in the north-western provinces, and a series of geological speci- 

 mens of the parts of the hills I had an opportunity of visiting. 

 Contents of the Herbarium, arranged according to the natural families.
