^{page 66 note 1} I have been able so far only to glance at a few of such publications but in so far as they throw light upon the interests and activities of the Anglo-Indian general public of the time a more systematic study of these would be useful.

^{page 68 note 3} Royle's desire to improve the cultivation of useful Indian plants is well shown by his book Essay on the Productive Resources of India, London, 1840Google Scholar. But he understood that the application of botany must be based on a firm foundation of systematic and physiological theory (see JRAS., 1836, 3Google Scholar).

Heber, Bishop of Calcutta, gives a few sidelights on contemporary science.

^{page 70 note 2} Sykes wrote forty-five papers on a wide range of topics and is one of the most endearing of Anglo-Indians. He was in India from 1803 to 1831 and when he returned to England he continued to take a vital interest in Indian affairs (he was a Director of the East India Company and Chairman for one year). He was a member of many scientific societies and whenever he attended a meeting he never seemed to be at a loss for something amiable to say. His name occurs frequently in reports of meetings, his best achievement being recorded in the reports of the 1835 British Association meetings when he addressed four different sections in as many days. He was one of those like Dr. Horsfield who acted as unofficial “agents” in London for men working in the field.

^{page 70 note 3} In spite of his contributions to zoology and his reports on the language, ethnology and geography of Nepal, and in spite of his notable political services (Markham, C. R., 1876, Narratives of the Mission of George Bogle to TibetGoogle Scholar), Hodgson is one of the many Indian scientists whose names are missing from the Dictionary of National Biography.

This book is interesting less for its natural history, and for the materia medica it contains, than for the light it throws upon medicine in India. He describes and discusses operations carried out under chloroform and ether in 1848–9 (only a year or two after its first use in Edinburgh), and gives some information about Dr. Esdaile who, by virtue of his use of mesmerism in major operations, should be recognized as a pioneer of some importance.
