legume. . There is no difference appreciable by the naked eye between 

 the placental and dorsal sutures, with the exception of the sutural 

 line of union, which has the usual relation with the axis of the head 

 of the flowers — Euphorbia occurs here. 



The affinity of Cactese with Grossulaceae is questionable, the 

 systems of organization being very different. Query — What instances 

 are there of affinity between inferior ovary plants, with distinct 

 definite envelopes and stamina, and plants with a perhaps similar 

 ovary, but with indefinite envelopes and definite stamina with a want 

 of correspondence in the structure of the fruit ? 



7th. — To Kussoor, twenty miles. The road extended generally 

 through a Jendy country : about half-way Salvadora appears in abun- 

 dance. Kussoor is a large well-built town, consisting of three separate 

 parts, each surrounded by a pucka wall furnished with bastions : these 

 three parts are at some distance from each other. Furas tree common. 



8th. — Ferozepore. About this place two species of Kochia occur, 

 and Artemisia is not uncommon. The Serratuloides of Alli-Baghan 

 and Ichardeh in profusion, affording cover for game.

 occurs. 



The following are the fish of Loodianah taken both from the Nullah 

 and the Sutledge.

 orange-brown fish, takes a bait but is capricious. 



Rohoo. — A sombre black-brown fish, intestines several times the

 food, and attains the size of two to three seers ; intestines twice the 

 length of the body, very narrow. 



Khul Bhans. — Cirrhinus Calbasu, a sombre looking breamoid- shaped 

 fish, attains the same size as the above, and is reputed to be excellent
