"From the Museum I dropped
down into the Botanical
Garden which is immediately
below. The gardens are
beautifully arranged in
well kept lawns. Most of
the trees & shrubs to my gratification were Hindhan
species, well labelled, &
many of the familiar
Gen- era genera were
represented Barberis,
Hypericum, Colomaster etc.
The curator was not in
the Office where I noticed
a herbarium & several native
assistants. The afternoon
was raining so that further
sight seeing was not pleasant.
There are no motors on
Hargeelab or carriage cither
all the roads well metates
extend through the place all
all of them are in places"
