THIRD REPORT ON FOREST OPERATIONS 



Beddome, the report of which has already been* published. The 

 sal forests of Gumsur were visited by me in the early part of last 

 year, and an extract from my diary is contained in App. G. 

 When Mr Beddome has visited the Nalla-malai range in Karnul, 

 there will remain no extensive tracts of importance wholly un- 

 explored. The further examination of these will be undertaken 

 as circumstances permit. 



43. Selections from the Forest Records. — The Government have 

 lately sanctioned the reprinting, in a portable form, of a selection 

 from the miscellaneous reports on various subjects connected with 

 the vegetable kingdom, which have been printed in loose sheets 

 during the last few years. Eor some of these, inquiries are fre- 

 quently made at this office, and, being scattered through Govern- 

 ment records of various years, they are not easily referred to. I 

 hope to pass this compilation through the press during my leave 

 to England. 



44. Public Gardens. — There has been no change in the superin- 

 tendence of the three public gardens which, as usual, have formed 

 the subject of separate f reports. That for Utakamand has been 

 recorded in G. 0., No. 323, 15th March 1859, and G. 0., No. 781, 

 15th May 1860. 



* G 0., No. 956, 9th June 1860. 



t The Annual Report of the Lai B&gh, Bangalore, is forwarded to the 

 Commissioner of Mysore, and that of the Hort. Soo. Gardens, Madras, is 

 published by the committee of management.
