IV PEEPACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 



shrubs, and on other interesting points connected 

 with such trees and shrubs, this list might be care- 

 fiiUy revised and greatly enlarged. If this be enjoin- 

 ed on the Forest Officers as a part of their duty, and 

 if the District Officers would interest themselves in 

 the matter, material enough might be collected 

 within the next three years for compiling a very 

 useful handbook of Mysore Trees ; and this might 

 eventually grow into a valuable woa-k. 



3. In an appendix will be found a list of the 

 commoner cereals, oils, pulses, condiments, &c., grown 

 in Mysore. It is taken from the Gazetteer. 



4. Indexes of technical, vernacular, and English 

 names are given.
