MARCO POLO   BOOK III.

on repeating in their manuals the old story about Indian olibanum. Dr. G. Birdwood however, at Bombay, in the years following 1859, took up the subject with great zeal and intelligence, procuring numerous specimens of the Sumálí trees and products ; and his monograph of the genus Boswellia in the Linnaean Transactions (read April 1869), to which this note is very greatly indebted, is a most interesting paper, and may be looked on, I believe, as embodying the most correct knowledge as yet attainable. The species as ranked in his table are the following :

Boswellia Frereana (Birdw.).

I. Boswellia Carterii (Birdw.), including the Arabian tree of Dhafár, and the larger variety called Mohr 111-adau by the Sumálís.

  1. B. Bhau-dajiana (Birdw.), Mohr A'd of the Sumálís.

  2. B. papyrzfera (Richard). Abyssinian species.

  3. B. thzzrifera (Colebr. ), see p. 396 supra.

  4. B. Frereana (Birdw.), Yep dr of the Sumálís—named after Mr. William Frere, Member of Council at Bombay. No. 2 was named from Bhau Dáji, a very eminent Hindu scholar and physician at Bombay (Birdw.).
