The Swietenia Fehrifuga is not a native of Bengal; and therefore is lit- 

 tle known, either to the Hindu or European pra6litioners here. I have 

 been informed, hov\^ever, that it was found, by the late Dr. Kennedy, in* 

 the hills to the southward^ of Chunar, where it was called, by the natives, 

 Rohundy and it is probable that this valuable tree may be discovered in the 

 mountainous distri(5te of some of the other upper provinces.

 sible and medicinal qualities, it coincides with the other kinds. The 

 second species, the Terminalia Chebuidy yields several different kinds of 

 Myrobalans ; different names having been given to the drupe, according to 

 its degree of maturity, when taken from the tree. Those chiefly used in 

 medicine, are the Har and the Zengi Har. The Har is the dried ripe
