PREFACE.
BEING appointed as a member of the Madras Working Com-
mittee, Calcutta International Exhibition, 1883-84, I was
very anxious to make myself as useful as possible, and there-
fore applied for permission to send in a collection of indi-
genous drugs from this Presidency to the Exhibition. The
acceptance of this offer was accompanied with a kind grant
of Rs. 200 from Calcutta, as a pecuniary assistance to my
undertaking. The drugs I forwarded were nearly one thou-
sand (954), and this work was originally intended to be their
Descriptive Catalogue. At the kind recommendation of the
above Committee, the Madras Government, with their usual
benevolence and liberality, ordered the publication of the
Catalogue at their own cost, and I was accordingly directed
to get the work printed at the Government Press. The
following is the G.O. on the subject :-

With reference to para. 5 of Dr. Bidie's letter read above, the Gov-
ernment will be prepared to bear the cost of publishing the very valu-
able catalogue which Dr. Mohideen Sheriff is now engaged in preparing.

When a portion of this book was printed, I was advised
to alter the designation of the Catalogue into that of Materia
Medica of Madras, and received the following orders with
a copy of a despatch from the Government of India
: —
PUBLIC DEPARTMENT.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE MADRAS GOVERNMENT.
Read the following paper
From the Under Secretary to the Government of India, dated 7th
January 1888, No. 13-8-1 G.
As it is believed that Dr. Mohideen Sheriff is publishing a new
work entitled Materia Medial of Madras, the first portion of which has
already been struck off, I am directed to request that, pending the
final orders of His Excellency the Governor in Council concerning the
distribution of the work, you will be good enough, if there be no objec

with 3 copies of pages 1 to 104 and with copies of all subsequent pages.
as the work passes through the press.
2. The Government of India is desirous to receive these pages at as
early a date as possible to enable Dr. Watt, the Reporter on Economic
Products, who is compiling a Dictionary on the Economic Products
of India under the orders of this department to utilize the very useful
information Dr. Mohideen Sheriff is placing before the public regard
- i n g t h e d r u g s o f S o u t h e r n I n d i a .
ORDER THEREON, 1st February 1888, No. 118.
Communicated to the Surgeon-General with Government who will
arrange with Dr. Mohideen Sheriff for compliance with the request
made by the Government of India. The copies should be forwarded
to the Chief Secretary's office for transmission.
