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.

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
