Remarkable East Indian Tres.

A tree remarkable for its long tap
root, sometimes measuring 81 feet and
descending to vertical depth Of "a
feet, has been brought to notice by b.
o. Coventry. 1t is the jand tree, which
forms small forests on the arid allu.
vial plains of the Punjab, where the
rainfall is ten inches or less, and the
taproot is supposed to have developed
gradually as the ground water level
was lowered by the lowering of the
rivers through erosion of their beds.
