Sir 
In the January number of the Tropical Agriculturist 
(Vol.LXXXVIII no.1, 15J7> P* 6 $) there are mentioned 
the two varieties of Jack-fruit grown in Ceylon, 
namely "waraka* and M wela*. As we are interested in 
the specific differences of Artocarpus, especially 
between the Jak-fruit and the Chempedak, and we do 
not know these varieties of Jak-fruit, we should be 
most grateful if you could send dried and labelled 
specimens of leaves, inflorescences and fruits (preferably 
with seeds) of each kind* 
I have the honour to be 
Sir 
Your obedient servant 
Director of Gardens, S.S
