176 THE JOURNAL OF INDIAN BOTANY. Olea cuspidata Wall. Cat. no. 2817. — Loc. : Ear Kaur, about 185 miles S. by W. of Kalat, up to 4,000 ft. (no. 159A); Kalgali Pass, about 3,400 ft. (M 350) ; Ornach, about 27° 0' N, 66° 10' E.

Uses : These trees are in countless numbers on the Hushtar Rahi Pass, which includes the upper part of the Rar Kaur on the W. or Pelar side and of the Hushtar Rahi Kaur on the E. or Ornach side. I did not notice how low the trees began, probably about 3,000 ft. Those bearing fruit were higher, at the summit of the Pass, nearly 4,000 ft. and on the hills on either side, several hundred feet higher. There are literally tons of berries, and no use is made of them. A few are eaten, but they are not exported, nor is the oil pressed out. Their flavour is pleasant, but scarcely characteristic, sweet at first, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. (Hotson). — Fr. in September 1917.
