good small timber ; it occurs in dry sandal tracts somewhat sparsely 
and deserves to be encouraged as an associate of sandal. One of 
tbe roots examined by me is illu.strated in plate YI, opposite page 
389 of tbe Indian Forester, Volume XXIX. 
{22) Citi*us Avrantimn — (Semi-evergreen). — I found roots of 
this species pretty largely attacked in a garden at Salem ; tbe roots 
examined were small and contained numerous baustoria and scars; 
tbe baustoria were of medium size and woody and bad penetrated tbe 
xylem of tbe bo.st as tbe scars showed it clearly. Though not indi- 
genous in tbe habitat of sandal, this seems to be a good host and 
it would be doubly profitable to grow it with sandal on account 
of its fruit and small timber also. In some cases tbe wounds made 
by tbe baustoria bad been covered over by callus wood. 
{23) Toddalia acxileata — (Evergreen climbing shrub). — I j 
{24) Clausena indica — (Evergreen shrub). — j not seen 
roots of these two species ; Dr. Barber examined sandal baustoria on 
them and found them penetrating tbe woody cylinder. As they are 
commonly found in dry sandal tracts, they are probably good hosts. 
How far they influence tbe growth of sandal must be ascertained by 
examining their roots in tbe proximity of sandal plants.

{25) Ailanthus excelsa — (Deciduous tree). — Tbe soft wooded 
roots of this species are pretty largely attacked ; on young roots I 
found the scars of baustoria to be oval and deep, while on older 
roots they were circular and shallow, owing probably to tbe forma- 
tion of callus wood; in tbe specimens preserved by me no baustoria 
are found, though I remember to have collected some living haus- 
toria and sent them to Dr. Barber. This is not a common associate 
of sandal, being only occasionally met with in sandal areas.

{26) Protium caudatuvi — (Deciduous tree). — This plant is 
affected to a moderate extent and sandal baustoria are of medium 
size and whitish-brown in coloiir ; they penetrate into tbe woody 
cylinder of tbe host as shown by tbe scars of withered baustoria ; 
though not a timber tree, it occurs commonly in tbe natural sandal 
tracts in Mysore, Salem and Kurnool Districts. I have seen sandal
