{122) Flueggia Leucopyrus — (Shortly deciduous shrub). — Dr. 
Barber examined saudal haustoria on this species; I have not seen 
its affected roots. As it is not uncommon in the natural habitat of 
sandal, its utility as a host requires further investigation.

{123) Holoptelea integrifoUa — (Deciduous tree). — A long root 
of this tree was covered with a number of scars of sandal haustoria ; 
ihey were pretty large and deep, in some cases revealing the inner 
wood of the host ; a thin dark coloured cork-like layer covered ovei 
the surface of the .•jcars; no living haustoria were found. It is 
commonly found in sandal tracts and being a timber tree may be 
encouraged as a nurse for sandal. 
{124) Cudrania javanensis — (Shortly deciduous climbing 
.shrub). — A root of this was foiind covered with a number of seal’s 
of sandal haustoria, but no living haustoria were found. The root 
collected having been lo.st I am unable to give further particulars. 
{12o) Strehlus nsper — (Evergreen tree). — I found the tap-root 
and rootlets of this species very largely attacked, and numerous 
attachments formed. Plate YIII is a drawing of the root examined, 
but it does not show a number of rootlets covered with haustoria as 
they were clipped off for convenience of drawing. The haustoria 
were of medium size but hard and woody. This seems to be a very 
good host for sandal ; it occurs in sandal tracts but confined more 
to cool and moist localities. 
{126) Fievs hengalensis — (Deciduous tree). — Small rootlets of 
this tree were found covered with small whitish brown haustoria ; 
I have not examined larger roots. It will probably be found to be 
a tolerably good host, but I have not seen sandal trees in its proxi- 
mity in the sandal areas, though I have seen a few saplings in its 
neighbourhood in a compound at Tirupatur (Salem). 
{127) Ficus (Deciduous tree). — Boots of this species 
also are attacked, but the haustoria are small and rather far apart ; 
haustoria examined under the microscope showed penetration into 
the woody cylinder. I have seen sandal trees flourishing in its 
vicinity and therefore think that it would be a good host for that 
species. 
{128) Ficus religiosa — (Deciduous tree). — Dr. Barber has ex- 
amined under the microscope sandal haustoria on its roots and
