    PREFACE Having been officially directed to write a Medico-Topo- graphical Account of the Western Rajputana States, I have endeavoured to lighten it for general readers by a brief history of the rulers of the country, and a reference to some of the customs and modes of thought of an interesting people, among whom I have worked for eighteen years. Particular attention has been given to the fauna and flora of the country ; also to the legends and superstitions of the people. My best thanks are due to the Marwar Darbar for publishing the work, and to the gentlemen who have kindly assisted me in its preparation. J ODHPORE, yd Axigust 1899. h
