IN THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY. 31 



tions, par. 36, issued by the Conservator, when he next reports 

 progress. 



24. Par. 40. The Government will be prepared to take into 

 consideration the establishment of depots, when the Conservator 

 lays a definite scheme before them. 



25. Par. 41. The Conservator here represents the difficulty 

 of procuring suitable overseers ; and he shows the causes which 

 combine to prevent qualified persons from entering the depart- 

 ment. If, on further experience, these causes are still found to 

 operate detrimentally to the interest of the establishment, it will 

 be Dr Cleghorn's duty to propose a remedy in the shape of a 

 higher scale of remuneration. 



26. Par. 44. The "Manual of Accounts'' alluded to has already 

 been approved in Ex. Min. Con. r 21st May 1858, No. 669, and 

 200 copies will be struck off for the use of the Conservancy De- 

 partment, &c. 



27. Par. 46. The " Botanical Manual," under preparation, in 

 accordance with the wishes of the Honourable Court of Direc- 

 tors, will doubtless be a most useful production. The Govern- 

 ment would wish some uniform system to be adopted in the repre- 

 sentation of native terms in the Eoman character. 



. 28. The account of the disbursements of the department, in the 

 last paragraph of the report, should have been placed side by side 

 with one of the receipts. 



29. The present report, as well as Dr Cleghorn's second letter 

 submitting a detailed account of the tours of his two travelling 

 assistants, will be submitted to the Honourable Court of Di- 

 rectors, with a copy of the foregoing remarks. 



T. Pycboft, Chief Secretary.
