at the distribution of green parenchyma is along the
course of the veins of the legume, and that there is a more minute
reticulation, and a greater development of the green colour on the faces
of the cells, than on any other part of the surface of the legume. There
is no difference appreciable by the naked eye between the placental and
dorsal sutures, with the exception of the sutural line of union, which
has the usual relation with the axis of the head of the flowers--Euphorbia
occurs here.
The affinity of Cacteae with Grossulaceae is questionable, the systems of
organization being very different. Query--What instances are there of
affinity between inferior ovary plants, with distinct definite envelopes
and stamina, and plants with a perhaps similar ovary, but with indefinite
envelopes and definite stamina with a want of correspondence in the
structure of the fruit?
_7th_.--To Kussoor, twenty miles. The road extended generally through a
_Jundy_ country: about half-way Salvadora appears in abundance. Kussoor
is a large well-built town, consisting of three separate parts, each
surrounded by a _pucka_ wall furnished with bastions: these three parts
are at some distance from each other. _Furas_ tree common.
_8th_.--Ferozepore. About this place two species of Kochia occur, and
Artemisia is not uncommon. The Serratuloides of Alli-Baghan and Ichardeh
in profusion, affording cover for game.
_16th to 21st_.--Loodianah. In the Nullah, Butomus begonifolius
occurs.
The following are the fish of Loodianah taken both from the Nullah and
the Sutledge.
_Roh_.--Cyprinus (Cirrhinus), a large, very handsome, excellent, orange-
brown fish, takes a bait but is capricious.
_Rohoo_.--A sombre black-brown fish, intestines several times the length
of the body, said to be the young of the above. Both these are different
from the Roh or Ruee of the Ganges.
_Coorsah_.--Labeo Cursis, a definite scaled sombre fish, it is good food,
and attains the size of two to three seers; intestines twice the length
of the body, very narrow.
_Kkul Bhans_.--Cirrhinus Calbasu, a sombre looking breamoid-shaped
fish, attains the same size as the above, and is reputed to be excellent
food.
_Mhirgh_.--Gobio Mrigala, a handsome fish, particularly when young; form
very elegant, intestines fourteen times the length of the body; excellent
food.
_Bura Raiwah_.--Gobio Rewah, a very handsome, eight-cornered, scaled
fish, with orange fins an
