LIST OF VEKNACULAE NAMES. 



These names have been collected from various sources ; partly from books, such as Roxburgh's "Flora Indica," and 

 Stewart's "Punjab Plants;" a large number were contributed, together with specimens of the grasses to whicb they 

 refer, by correspondents in various parts of Northern India ; the remainder were obtained personally during my tours 

 in Northern and Central India. 



With the exception of Roxburgh's names the orthography has, ys far as possible, been made to conform to the present 

 recognized rules. There doubtless still remain for correction many errors both of omission and commission, and which 

 I hope to be able by degrees to rectify. The list, however, such as it is, will serve, it is hoped, as a means of identifying 

 the majority of the more important kinds of fodder grasses. 



Several of the names given in this list are obviously vague and unsatisfactory, especially as regards nearly allied 

 species, as for instance those belonging to large genera such as Panicum, Andropogon, and Eragrostis. 



Special care has been taken in regard to the local names of such kinds as are most useful, whether for fodder or other 

 purposes ; and, although the names applied to these are more numerous than in the case of inferior fodder grasses, they 

 are, nevertheless, as a rule, more dependable by reason of the recognized value of such grasses.
