This is the largest of the British West India Islands, containing ahout
4 200 square miles. The population in 1871 was returned at 606,154, of these
only 13,101 were whites. The revenue of the Colony in 1876 was 572,686/.
The value of the exports in the same year was 1,519,015/., and of the imports
1 700 253/. The exports consist chiefly of sugar, rum, pimento, and ginger,
coffee, woods, and fruit.
In Jamaica as well as in the other West Indian Islands, sugar constitutes
the great staple article of production. Prior to the abolition of slavery,
these islands produced nearly all the sugar found in commerce, at which time
Jamaica was pre-eminent. The total number of acres now in cultivation is
48 000. The average quantity of sugar exported is about 30,000 tons.
The rums of Jamaica are the most famous in the world, and they
always command the highest prices in the market. The value of the rum
exported from the Colony ranges from 240,000/. to 321,000/. To show the
importance of this article, it may be mentioned that the other British
Colonies in this part of the world export nearly all their molasses instead of
manufacturing it into rum.
After sugar, coffee is the next staple product of importance, and there are
upwards of 22,000 acres under cultivation. That pioduced on heights ranging
from 3,500 ft. to 5,000 ft. is considered of excellent quality.

COMMISSIONER :— "William Walker, Esq.
Although it is not possible to determine the exact area of the colony, it has
been computed to he about 76,000 square miles. It extends from east to west
about 200 miles, and includes the settlements of Demerara, Essequebo, and
Berbice. It is bounded on the east by Dutch Guiana, ou the south by Brazil,
on the west by Venezuela, and on the north and north-east by the Atlantic
Ocean. The population is about 200,000, exclusive of the aborigines.
Sugar and rum are the staple products of the colony, but it has many other
indigenous resources, which will ultimately become extensive staples of com-
merce, especially timber and fibres. The value of the exports of the colony
is about 2,500,000?., and of the imports a little under 2,000,000?.

The British Settlements at Lagos were united into a separate Government
in March 1862, and by a charter in 1874 became an integral part of the Gold
Coast Colony. The British Settlements comprising Lagos lie between 2°
and 5° E. long., and consist of Badagry on the west, Lagos Island in the
centre, and Palma and Leekie on the east. The revenue of Lagos averages
about 45,000Z. a year. The imports in 1876 were to the value of 476,812/.,
and the exports to 19,260/. The exports consist chiefly of palm oil, palm nut
kernels, ground nuts, ivory, and other native produce.
The population of Lagos is about 62,000.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONEE:— Spkncek Todd, Esq.
This extensive Colony is washed by the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans
on the west and south ; it is bordered on the north by the Orange River, on
the north-east by the Colony of Natal, and on the east by certain portions of
Kaffraria Proper, still more or less independent.
The Cape Colony, with its dependencies Basutoland and the Transkei,
contains an area of about 250,000 square miles. This does not include the
province of Griqualand West, at present still separately administered, although
a Bill annexing this diamondiferous territory has been recently passed by the
legislatures concerned. According to the census, taken in 1875, the total
population of the Colony then numbered 720,984 persons.
The disturbances which broke out on the Eastern Erontier last year, and
the serious nature of the conflict that has ensued, have very naturally absorbed
public attention in the Colony, and hence the collection of exhibits has been much
interfered with. The show now made is consequently not as good as it might
have been under more favourable circumstances. The capabilities of the
country, the beauty of the climate, and the many natural advantages enjoyed
by the colonists can scarcely be exaggerated j but as manufactures are as yet
in their infancy, any collection of exhibits that might have been sent would
probably have failed to convey a true impression of the degree of prosperity
reached by the settler at the Cape.

and the 25° and 30^° of east longitude. Its area is about 112,000 square
miles. The country is well watered, rich in springs, and the surface soil is
covered with excellent pasturage for horses, sheep, and cattle ; all its districts
are also well adapted for the growth of cereals. The central and northern
districts are suitable to the production of sugar-cane, coffee, and cotton. The
country is rich in minerals ; gold, copper, lead, cobalt, iron, and coal have

COMMISSIONER:— Sir Charles Petee Layakd, K.C.M.G.
The island of Ceylon contains an area of 24,702 square miles, or
15,809,280 acres, of which rather more than one-sixth is under cultivation ;
700,000 acres are under rice ; 100,000 acres under other grain ; 260,000 acres
planted with cocoa nuts ; 26,000 acres with cinnamon ; 19,000 under tobacco,
and about 60,000 acres under areca, palmyrah, and other palms. The upset
price of crown land is ll. per acre, but forest land, suited for coffee cultivation,
has fetched as much as 23?. per acre. The population of the island is now
estimated to exceed 2,500,000; it was returned by the census of 1871 at
2,405,000. The number of Indian coolies employed on the coffee estates is
over 1.50,000. The revenue raised in the island has increased by 500,000?. in the
last 10 years. It is principally derived from customs duties, land sales, a tax
on grain(of about one-tenth), licenses, salt (which is a government monopoly),
and other sums. The value of the exports of the Colony have increased by
about 2,250,000/. in the past 10 years. They consist chiefly of the following
products : — CoflFee, of which the exports were 928,606 cwts. in 1875, valued
at 4,244,838?. ; cocoa-nut oil, valued at 144,541?. ; cinnamon, of which the
shipments average 1,500,000 lbs. ; areca or betel nuts to the amount of
100,000 cwt. ; plumbago to the value of about 130,000?. The imports con-
sist chiefly of rice, to the value of 1,750,000?. ; cattle, 80,000?. ; fish, 90,000?. ;
■what are termed curry .stuffs, to season rice, &c., 52,000?. ; poonac, the oil-
cake of the cocoa nut for manure, 70,000?. ; cotton manufactures and twist,
750,000?.; cutlery and hardware, 50,000?. ; and haberdashery and millinery,

This Colony, which was transferred from the Indian GoTernmeut to the
Colonial Office in 1867, comprises the islands of Singapore and Penang, and
Malacca, and Province Wellesley, situated on the peninsula. The aggregate
collective area of the Colony is 1,445 square miles, and the population was
returned in 1871 at 308,097. Singapore is a free port, and the great entre-
p6t of eastern commerce. In 1875 the vessels which entered and cleared (ex-
clusive of the coasting trade) at the three settlements reached 3,235,104 tons,
of which 2,209,241 tons were British vessels. The value of the total imports
was 11,536,106^., of which 2,220,239i was from the United Kingdom. The
value of the exports in the same year, 1875, was, 11,502,687?. The chief
exports from these settlements comprise tin, sugar, pepper, nutmegs, and mace,
sago and tapioca, rice, hides and horns, rattans, gutta-percha and india-rubher,
gambler and essential oils. An attempt has recently been made, with some
success, to cultivate the tea plant in Province Wellesley. The annual revenue
raised averages about 320,O00Z.

New South Wales was the first British Colony founded in Australia. Its
boundaries extended along the whole of the eastern coast of the island, and
included all the territory lying between the Pacific Ocean and the 135th
degree of east longitude. In the progress of settlement it became expedient
to subdivide this extensive area, and to call into existence the Colonies of
Tasmania, Victoria, and Queensland. Remote from the seat of government,
and almost excluded from traffic and intercourse with the civilised populations
of the globe, the progress made by the pioneers of colonization was slow ; and,
prior to the discovery of gold in New South Wales, in 1851, the total Euro-
pean population of the continent was less than 300,000 souls. From that
time the occupation and Improvement of the country have been accelerated,
and Australia has now become the home of two millions of thriving and con-
tented people. The agregate revenue of her governments, in 1876, was
12,435,829/., and the value of her trade 76,020,367/. An area of 3,518,645
acres had been brought under cultivation, and the live stock, almost wholly
supported by the natural pasturage of the country, included 51 ,885,282 sheep,
6,737,215 horned cattle, 859,123 horses, and 583,721 pigs. There had been
constructed 2,092 miles of railway, 21,112 miles of telegraph, and many large
public works for the improvement of the country.
Of the estimated area of Australia (3,000,000 square miles), New South
Wales includes 323,437 square miles, or an area about one-seventh greater
than that of Germany, and about one-third greater than that of France.
The main export of New South Wales arises from the primitive industry
of pastoral life. This is due to the fact that the inland districts are so easily

accessible ; that fine -wool is so valuable a product ; that it is procured with
with so little labour ; and that the soil and climate are so favourable to its pro-
duction. In its early years, therefore, the Colony has enjoyed the advantage
of acquiring great wealth on easy terms, and a substantial basis of prosperity
is thus laid, supported by which other industries are arising. In comparison
with its population New South Wales is a wealthy and wealth prodacing
community. It occupies at the present period of its history a singularly
advantageous point of departure for a magnificent future Its ultimate
greatness is assured, and it offers great attractions to those ivho would contri-
bute towards the realization of that destiny.

FIJI ISLANDS.
A charter has only within the last few years been issued uniting these
islands iuto a British colony. They lie wholly within the tropics in the
Pacific. The population has been estimated at about ] 40,000, but epidemics
have greatly devastated the islands.
Excellent cotton is gi-own here, but the low price ruling has latterly
produced distress among the settlers. Sugar, coffee, and other tropical
products are easily raised, and, situated as the islands are in the highway of
commerce between Western America and Australia, taken in connexion with
their geographical position and fine harbours, opens up a great and prosperous
future for this group.

Queensland, the most recently established Australian Colony, is situated
in latitude IP° 40' — 29° S., and longitude 138" — 153° 30' E., and comprises
the -whole north-eastern portion of the Australian continent.
It -was erected into a Colony towards the end of 1859. Previous to this
event it formed an outlying portion of the older Colony of New South Wales.
Its southern boundary commences on the «astern coast of Austi'alia at Point
Danger, about 400 miles north of Sydney, the capital of New South Wales,
and the greater portion of the southern boundary is formed, by the 29th
parallel of south latitude. The eastern seaboard extends over 1,300 mites
from Point Danger to Cape York. Its breadth at the southern boundary
is about 900 miles from the eastern coast line to the meridian of 138° Bast
longitude, which forms the western boundary line of the Colony, separating
it from the territory of South Australia. This includes the greater part of
the Gulf of Carpentaria, which has a seaboard of about 750 miles. The whole
of the Colony of Queensland comprises 669,520 square miles, or 420,492,800
acres (i.e., equal to more than 5J times the area of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain), and if it is borne in mind that the greater part of it is avail-
able either for pasture, agriculture, or mining, it may be regarded as the
largest in the Australian continent.
Topography. — The climate of Queensland is somewhat varying ; in the
south the temperature resembles that of the south of England ; in the north,
one of the finest pastoral districts in the world, 1,600 feet above the level of
the sea, the climate resembles that of the south of France.
Population. — At the time of its establishment as an independent Colony
the population of Queensland was somewhat under 24,000; in 1866 it was
96,201 ; and in 1876, 187,100.
Stock. — In 1876, the number of horses in the Colony was 130,289 ; of
cattle there were 1,985,807 ; and of sheep, 7,241,810 ; and although in 1876
the Colony possessed 70,000 sheep less than in 1875, yet in 1876 the value of
the wool is stated at 1,499,576^., as against 1,366,000?. in 1875.

It may he taken that the exports now exceed the imports hy over 1,000,0007.
per annum, thus gaining the foremost place in exporting power per head of
population over aE the other Colonies of AustraUa, and we believe over all
the other countries in the world.
Revenue and Expenditure. — The revenue is very largely obtained by means
of the Custom House, partly from rents of runs, rents of conditional purchases
of land, duty, stamps, railways, telegraphs, abd post office, and miners'
rights. Omitting loans and their disbursements, the revenue and expenditure
stood as follows : —

That portion of the Continent of Australia bounded on the east by the
141 st degree of east longitude, on the north by the 26th degree of south lati-
tude, on the west by the 132nd degree of east longitude, and on the south by
the Southern Ocean, was constituted a British Province by Act of Parliament,
4 & 5 WilUam IV., c. 95. under the designation of South Australia. The
area contained within those limits is estimated to be 300,000 square miles.
In 1861, the territory known as " No Man's Land," about 80,000 square miles,
lying between the boutidaries of South and Western Australia, was added by
Act 24 & 25 Vict. c. 44, making the western boundary the 129th degree of
east longitude.
All the countiy north of the 26th parallel of south latitude, between the
129th and 138th degree of east longitude, has also been annexed to South
Australia, and is known as the Northern Territory. The present northern
boundary is the Indian Ocean, latitude 1 1° S. ; the southern boundary the
Southern Ocean, in latitude 38° S. The Province of South Australia covers
twenty-seven degrees of latitude, and twelve degrees of longitude, forming at
present the largest British Colony — the area extending over more than
900,000 square miles.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
141
The southern coast-line is deeply indented by two large gulfs — the eastern,
St. Vincent's Gulf, running inland to the northward for 85 miles, and the
larger, Spencer's Gulf, running N.N.E. for 180 miles. These gulfs have a
mean breadth of 30 and 50 miles respectively, and both taper towards their
northern ends. St. Vincent's Gulf is sheltered by Kangaroo Island, 90 miles
in length, which lies to the southward of it, leaving two fine entrances, one
from the westward through Investigator's Straits 28 miles broad, and the
other from the eastward through Backstairs Passage, 8 miles in width.
The principal agricultural and mineral districts of the Colony are con-
tiguous to the two gulfs, the shores of which are 780 miles in length, the
greater part being entirely protected from the ocean swell. Numerous out-
ports and shipping places, of wMlch there are over 50, enable settlers to ship
their produce at a very small cost. These gulfs are divided by York's Penin-
sula, some 120 miles long, and 20 miles broad, having large tracts of wheat-
growing land, and the principal seat of mining industry.
Adelaide, the capital of the Province, is situated about five miles from the
eastern shore of St. Vincent's Gulf, in latitude 34° 57' S. and longitude
130° 38' E., and Port Adelaide, the principal port, is about seven miles north-
west from the city, and connected therewith by rail.
The population of the Colony at the close of 1877 was estimated to be
237,000 persons — of whom 123,000 were males, and 114,000 females ; show-
ing an increase during the twelve months of 12,000 persons, 7,000 males and
5,000 females.
The combined import and export trade of 1876 amounted to 9,500,000/.
sterling, of which 4,600,000?. were imports, and 4,800,000/. exports. The
imports amounted to 20/. per head of the population, and the exports to 21/.

Executive (by permission of H.R.H. the President):— The Sbcrbtakt of
THE Royal Commission.
This Colony includes all that portion of New Holland situated to the west-
ward of 129° E. long. ; its greatest length is 1,280 miles from north to south,
and 800 miles from east to west. The whole of the settled district, nearly the
size of France, is usually level, often undulating, but never mountainous.
The whole country from north to south, except the spots cleared for cultivation,
may be described as one vast forest. The climate is one of the finest and most
salubrious in the world, and the mortality of Western Australia, since its
occupation is said to have averaged not more than 1 per cent. The population
of the colony is 26,209.
The revenue in 1875 amounted to 157,775?., and the value of the exports was
391,217/.
Class 34. — Silks and Tissues op Silk, Cocoons and Silk.
Central Conumttee.
No. 1 . Raw silk, produced from cocoons grown in West Australia
by silkworms hatched, reared, and fed on mulberry trees grown
in and about Perth. The cocoons were reeled into skeins by
Messrs. Louis Desgrand, & Co., of Lyons. The skeins, about
12 lbs., were sent to Mr. W. C. Brocklehurst Macclesfield who
directed them to be converted into handkerchiefs for ladies,
four of which are shown. No. 4.
No. 2. Raw silk dyed and wound upon bobbins.
No. 3. Raw silk died in skeins.
No. 4. Handkerchiefs.
The two satin embroidered banners suspended overthe Western
Australian compartment are made of silk raised in the colony.
The report of Messrs. Desgrand & Co. as to the cocoons and
silk is very satisfactory. They state that cocoons No. 1 rank with
their very best sorts, and that cocoons No. 2, even as they are,
would find any number of buyers. The silk produced from
158 THE COLONIES.
No. 1 cocoons would fetch 105 to 108 firs, per kilo ; No. 2
cocoons 100 to 102 frs. per kilo.
The cocoons would sell in Marseilles, for No. 1 large
superior cocoons at 26i to 27 frs. per kilo, on the basis of
their yielding one kilo of silk to four kilos of cocoons. As
they require only three kilos of cocoons to produce one kilo of
silk, the actual price of one kilo of such cocoons would be 29i
to 30 frs. No. 2 cocoons would sell at 25^ to 26*8., and
considering they actually want about four Idlos of cocoons to
produce one kilo of silk, their real seUing price would be from
25i to 26 frs. per kilo.
Particulars of reeling furnished by Messrs Desgrand & Co. : —
No. I. (large cocoons).
Employed, kilos 13'680 cocoons, obtained 3'910 kilos

This collection is intended to illustrate the general geological formation of
a portion of the Colony of Western Australia, without any attempt at minute
details of scientific arrangement, but as characteristic specimens representing
an area of about 250,000 square miles of territory, or one-fourth of the whole
extent of the colony.
To more readily determine the locality referred to in the Catalogue, the
specimens have been numbered on distinguishing coloured labels.

Jarrah Pile {Eucalyptus marginata) from Old Town Jetty at
Albany. It was driven in the year 1836, and taken up in 187 7,
having been 42 years in use, and subject to the usual rise and
fall of the tide, &c. Jarrah pile sawn down the centre and
polished, to show the effectual resistance offered to the attacks
of the Teredo navalis. This wood is now exported to a con-
siderable extent to the sister colonies, India, and other places
as piles and timbers for jetties and wharves, sleepers for railways,
&c., &c. From its known quality of resisting the ravages of
the sea-worm an d white ant, it is believed that it will shortly
become one of the most valuable products of Western Australia,
as vast forests of Jarrah extend through the east and southern
parts of the colony. Mountain Oak (CasManrao). Small speci-

had been 28 years in the ground. A piece of Wood being a
portion of one of the timbers of the ship " Midas " which was
wrecked at Bunbury, on 10th March, 1872. By comparing
this specimen with the Jarrah Pile exhibited by the Albany
Committee, the indestructibility of Jarrah by the sea-worm will
be at once manifest. Jarrah Planks. Tooart Planks. Jarrah

TwATTA : a species of Eucalyptus only found to the Eastward
of the Darling Range, where it grows in great abundance. It
seldom exceeds 18 inches in diameter, and 20 feet in height.
It is used for wheelwright's work, for which it stands unrivalled
in Australia.
Cooi,A.ti .—Mucalyptus sp. found growing on alluvial land
and in the neighbourhood of water. It attains to a large size,
but the timber is soft, and of no value.
MoRRAL. — Eucalyptus sp. grows to the height of 90 feet,
and 3 feet in diameter; timber is heavy and close in the grain ;
takes a good polish, and being of a dark color, might take the
place of oak or walnut in cabinet work.
Wandow. — Eucalyptus sp. next to the Jarrah this is the
most used timber ; it is very plentiful ; grows to a larger size,
and splits well for fencing. When seasoned it is very hard,
and would answer for tramways, as it does not warp.
WoRROCK. — Eucalyptus sp. There are large forests of it in
the interior, where it grows to the height of 80 feet, and 3 feet
in diameter; it splits well for fences, and hurdles for sheep
folds.
Dardbback. — Eucalyptus sp. grows with a straight stem,
and to the height of 60 feet, but seldom exceeds 3 feet in
diameter. The timber is tough, and does not split easily. For
naves and felloes it probably would be a useful timber.
Mallet. — Eucalyptus sp, timber is light when seasoned;
splits well, is easy to work, and much used for making hurdles
for sheep folds.
Melyereck. — Eucalyptus sp. grows to a large size, six feet
in diameter, and 70 feet high. The timber is soft when green,
saws easily, is heavy and close in the grain, and when seasoned
is the hardest of all our timbers. For tramways it might be
useful ; it is to be found in considerable quantities.
Marlock. — This species of Eucalyptus forms some of the
thickets in the interior. It grows low and crooked, seldom
more than ten feet high and two feet in diameter. This timber
is not known to the tradesmen, but would work well for cabinet
making. Some pieces have been found beautifully marked with
dark spots.
168 THE COLONIES.
CooBUP.— This species of Eucalyptus is the largest and pro-
bably the eldest of our forest trees. "When full grown the
timber is of no value, but in young trees of about two feet in
diameter the timber is light and tough ; it is much used in
coach-building. The gum from this tree is valuable as an
article of commerce, being a powerful astringent.
Pabral. — This species of Eucalyptus grows to the height of
100 feet, splits well for fencing, is sound and light, and if
better known would prove a valuable timber.
Wandebock. — A species of Eucalyptus, furnishes the most
valuable timber for wheelwrights' work. It grows to the
height of 40 feet, and two feet in diameter ; it splits well, is
long in the grain, and answers well for dray shafts.
Habdam. — This species of Eucalyptus is only found in the
interior, where it forms large forests, in some parts quite a,
jungle, growing to the heieht of 30 feet, and not more than six
inches in diameter. The timber is tough and said to be equal
to lancewood.
DuRDiLOCK. — This is a species of Eucalyptus, but not very
plentiful. The wood is hard, short in the grain, and would
take a good polish.
Neabayer. — This is a species of Eucalyptus. It is seldom
found more than ten feet high and two feet in diameter. It
throws out its branches horizontally and very crooked, and were
it not for the great distance it grows from the coast, would be
useful for ship-building.
{Name unknown.) — This tree is found growing to
the height of 60 feet and 18 inches in diameter, on the slopes
of the Darling Range. The wood is tough and flexible; it
works smooth, and would therefore take a good polish. This
tree can easily be recognised by remarkable corrugations in tlie
bark.
Badjong. — This is a species of Acacia, but not very plenti-
ful. It, however, would be well worth cultivating, as gum of
a valuable kind exudes from it in great quantities, 50 lbs. weight
having been gathered from one tree.
Mambon OB Scentless Sandal-Wood. — This tree is
very plentiful, and from the fineness of the grain of the wood,
might be made use of for block engraving.
MuNiTB. — This is a species of Mimosa, seldom growing more
than 10 inches in diameter. The wood is nicely scented, and
would be suited for cabinet work.
MuNGiTE. — ^Three species of Banksia found growing to the
east of the Avon River. The wood of these trees is suitable
for furniture making, and is also used in boat-building.
QuELLA. — A species of Casuarina, the wood of which is
handsomely marked and takes an excellent polish j it conse-
quently Would do well for picture frames and other ornamental
work.

Whalebone taken from the right whale; Black whale oil;
spermaceti or head matter; sperm oil; sperm whale teeth.
The right whale found in large numbers, chiefly on the East
coast of Western Australia, is from 35 to 70 feet long, and
yields up to fifteen tuns of oil of the value of 401. per tun. It
also yields 75 lbs. of whalebone to each tun of oil, the present
value of which is 6s. Crf. per lb. The sperm whale is of
equal size, and yields about the same quantity of oil, but the
oil is valued at 80/. per tun of 262 gallons. The sperm whale
has no whalebone, but gives about 601bs. of ivory, worth 2s. 6d.
per lb. It is also found in large numbers on the East coast of
this colony, and the Port of Albany is the resort of large
numbers of whaling vessels from America and other parts of
the world. Sun fish oil.

One cask from Lacepede Islands. The islands on the North-
west Coast of Australia are frequented by vast numbers
of seafowl, and consequently the deposit of excrement in a
short space of time accumulates considerably, so much so, that
on a small group of rocks known by the name of the Lacepede
Islands, there is at the present time an almost inexhaustible
supply of Guano of the description of the above exhibit. For
the past two years the Government of Western Australia has
been issuing licenses for the removal of Guano from these
islands, on the payment of a royalty per ton ; and there is no
doubt that as the valuable qualities of this manure become

Bag of Barley. Arrowroot prepared from the Zamia. The
Jurors of the Exhibition of London, 1851, stated that this
preparation appeared to rival arrowroot in quality, and it re-
sembled it in feel and taste. The Zamia plant is very plentiful
throughout the colony, and the preparation of the arrowroot
is very simple. The taper root contains about 30 per cent, of
arrowroot.
