PREFACE 
rjlHIS note on Thitsi (Melanorrhoea usitata, Wall.) was written by 
Mr. Wright for the Indian Forester. 
As it contains much useful information on the subject of tapping 
this species for Oleo-resin, it has been decided to issue it as an Indian 
Forest Record, supplementary to the one previously issued on the same 
subject by Messrs. Benskin and Rodger (Indian Forest Records, Yol. VI, 
Part III).
