th are turbid, but those of the
latter are reddish.

Throughout the valley of Jallalabad cultivation extends alone along the
streams, many of which are entirely consumed by agricultural processes;
in no place does it bear any proportion to the uncultivated portion,
which is invariably densely strewed with stones, the smaller of which are
generally water-worn; the larger, masses of angular rock.

White mulberries ripen in perfection at Gundamuck in the early part of
July. There is more cultivation about Khuggur occurring in a continuous
and broadish tract, than in almost any other place.

I observed a curious tendency to anastomosis, or self-grafting in the
roots of Morus: this in its young state often has pinnatifid artacarpoid
leaves. Query, is this a sign of the greater development of Morus? or is
it in any way analogous to that progressive development existing during
the growth of every animated being?

At Gundamuck observed Oriolus; it differs in plumage and voice from the
Indian Mango bird, which is a far more beautiful bird, with only one
note: Edolius also seen.

Pastor and the other common birds. Merops was seen soaring over stones,
and stooping at insects; in such situations it remains long on the wing;
it does not appear to perch on any thing but withered branches.

Composita Senecionoides occurs about Soorkhab, Reaumuria occurs half-way
between it and Gundamuck. Capparis continues to Soorkhab. Statices
common, also Campanula; and about Jugdulluck a striking Boragineous
plant, Boraginiae sp., and on the sandy pass above Barkhab, a Salvia is
found in profusion, one of the commonest grasses is Poa _cynosuroides_?

The stem of Hippuris is worth examination, inasmuch as it consists of a
central easily separable axis, and a vertical system of great thickness,
highly cellular, so that judging _a priori_, as these cells (which are
compound) occupy the whole space between the ligneous system and the
cutis, no longitudinal vessels can exist in that part which represents
the bark.

_15th_.--Cabul. Glycyrrhiza thermopsoides frequently presents on the non-
flowering stems, a pod-like transformation of the uppermost leaves.

In Centaurea _cyanea_, the disposition of the limb of the ray is such
that the incomplete part or the fissure is outside. This is exactly
opposite to the disposition of the same part in true Ligulatae.

Judging from Centaurea, the smaller lip of the bilabiate species of
Compositae oug
