sandal seedlings were transplanted in March 1907 in the Teak planta- 
tion of 1906, and a few of them were thriving well in August 1907. 
In the latter part of June 1907 the three sandal seedlings grown with 
Kanuga were measured again, and the first 2 plants were found to be 
43'' and 42" high respectively, and the third plant, having lost its origi- 
nal leading shoot, had produced two side-shoots measuring 22" and 21." 
At the end of March 1907, most of the sandal seedlings with their 
hosts grown in tile-cylinders and bamboo tubes were lifted with their re- 
ceptacles and planted out in vacant beds of the 1906 Teak plantation, 
and were regularly watered till the south-west monsoon set in. Some 
of them died, there remaining only 23 seedlings in the middle of August 
1907. All the purely grown sandal seedlings, whether left in the nursery 
or planted out, died without exception, their root-ends having decayed. 
The transplanted seedlings were measured on the 16th August 1907, 
and the following results were recorded : —

All the sandal seedlings appeared healthy and vigorous on the 15th 
August 1907 and were doubtless well established. 
8. Some of the seedlings with their hosts were taken up and carefully 
washed at the end of October 1906, they were found to have established 
root-connections with the hosts. In all cases in which sandal seedlings 
were vigorous, the haustoria were somewhat larger, more numerous 
and healthy : thin and long thread-like rootlets were more numerous and 
largely developed in the young sandal with their ends slightly thicker, 
reddish-brown and pointed — a characteristic which enables us to distin- 
guish the sandal rootlets from those of its hosts in many cases ; whereas 
in cases in which the sandal seedlings were stunted unhealthy and
