( Ivii ) REGULATIONS ISSUED FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONERS. GENERAL REGULATIONS. 1. The Exhibition will be opened on or about the ist May, 1886, and will remain open for a period of about six months. 2. Subject to the conditions stated in Regulations 3 and 4, the objects to be exhibited are left entirely to the discretion of the Governments participat- ing, in so far as they illustrate the resources, products and manufactures of the Colonies and the Indian Empire. For reasons stated elsewhere, no Classification has been attempted by the Royal Commission ; but each Government is invited to classify its own collection. 3. All fulminating and explosive substances and all dangerous substances are absolutely forbidden to be sent, but they may be represented by models or dummies. 4. Spirits, oils, essences, corrosive substances and generally all substances which might spoil other articles or cause inconvenience to the public, can only be received in substantial and suitable vessels of small size. 5. There will be no charge for space. 6. Motive power and water will be supplied free of cost, provided that notice by letter or cable is given before the ist January, 1886. Foundations can be laid, under the superintendence of the Secretary to the Royal Com- mission, upon requisition from the Executive Commissioners, with their order for payment. The work will be done at the expense of the Commissions requiring it ; and full particulars of the size, character and intended position of machines should be given. 7. As the allotments of space have in most cases been already notified to the Colonial and Indian Governments, no further applications can, except under special circumstances, be entertained. Applications to exhibit from any individual or firm will be referred to the Executive Commissioners for the various Colonies and for India. 8. The Executive Commissioners appointed by their respective Govern- ments will have the entire control of _the arrangements of the goods i ti m il It' Ifrr^ Iviii Colonial aud Indian Exhibition. nil exhibited in their respective sections, subject to the conditions stated in Regulations 9 to 16. 9. At least one main passage of not less than fifteen feet must extend throughout each Court from end to end ; and, where doors or openings occur, passages of not less than ten feet in width must be provided communicating with the main central passage. The necessity of providing adequate space for allowing the proper inspection of articles exhibited need scarcely be insisted upon. 10. Signs or name-boards should be placed parallel with the main passages, that is, parallel with the frontage of the respective stands. It is suggested that they should be black with gold letters. Care should be taken to prevent any interference with the electric lighting arrangements. 11. All handbills, printed matter, &c., connected with exhibits, and intended for gratuitous distribution, should be duly authorised by the Executive Commissioners for each country, who will find the Secretary to the Koyal Commission ready to co-operate with them. 12. It is specially requested that no cases or goods should exceed the height of ten feet : this rule is not intended to prevent the erection of any special trophies ; but designs to scale of all trophies should, previous to their erection, be notified to the Secretary to the Royal Commission. 13.

STONE CO., Limited, East G-reenwioh.— Imperial stone is an article used for the manufacture of steps, land- ings, pavings, copings of various designs, and generally for stonework dressings connected with buildings. This stone is composed of crushed granite and Portland Cement, the frac- tural dust being very carefully eliminated by washing before being mixed with the cement, the material is then placed in moulds and com- pressed by machinery. It has been found that stone made artificially in this manner stands the severe test of a London atmosphere success- fully. It is in some instances mixed with various pigments in order to obtain the colour contrasts desired by the architect, great care being exercised to use only such as will not injure the cement. The stone is in all cases subjected to a bath of silicate of soda and other indurating processes.

In the Ornamental Water, in the Oiunndi, Fonntaini of yarioni designa have been ananged. which are illuminated after dark by means of powerAd eleotrio arc lamps. The following is a description of the means by whioh the effeots shown by the Fonntalns arc produced : — The water for sapplying the Fountains is delivered direet ftom the West mddlesez Water Company's Hammersmith pumping station. The main enters the Exhibition Grounds from the north-west, and is conducted to the four water-meters, on the western side of the centre basin, which register the quantity of water consumed. From this point a large main leads to the central "island," where the principal jets rise. The water is supplied at a pressure of about seventy pounds to the square inch, whioh is sufficient to carry it to a height of 120 feet. The island is reached by means of a subway, and through this are laid the cables for the olectrio current and the signalling wires. The whole of the jets are worked by screw-valves and levers placed inside the island. The Fountain display io directed bom the clock tower at the south side ^of the Garden, the '* operating-room" being below the dial of the large dock. The operator controls not only the working of the jets, but also the colour ana power of the lights, by a series of eleotrio signals, arranged on a key-board with 60 keys, in five rows of 12 each, which communicate with bells and indicators inside the island. The machine-room inside the island is an apartment 21 feet square. Its roof being only 5 feet 8 inches from the floor, renders it difficult for the operators to stand upright in it ; and there is an outer passage all round whioh is only 4 feet 6 inches high. The Fountains are set in action by screw-valves fixed vertically on the different branches attached to the water main. The large jets, whioh send the water to the greatest heights, are worked by plug-valves and levers, so as to allow an instantaneous start and stop, which causes a shower of spray. There are, altogether, eleven wheels and six levers. In the roof are seven circular skylights of very strong glass, one of them being exactly in the centre, the others forming a hexagon about it Under each of these skylights is a wooden stand, on which is fixed a hand aro lamp of 8000 candle power. Over each arc is a lens, which concen- trates the light on the jet. Then are also eight windows in the roof of the outer passage under each of which is an aro light and reflector. When the order "Lights on" is received, the five arcs are set going, the result being to powerful'/ illumine the jets of water internally, while the dropping water or spray is illuminated externally by the surrounding beams of light, thus pro- ducing a glistening-effect. There is also a lamp opposite the cascade, the light being concentrated by a plano-convex lens. The current for these lamps is supplied by a Victoria Brush machine, driven by the Galloway engine in the West Quadrant. The usual staff is fifteen— one man to work the valves, thirteen td attend to the lights, and one to watch and reply to the bells. They cannot see what is going on outside, their only means of knowing that all is right boing the signals from the clock tower. The quantity of water sent up averages 70,000 gallons an hour ; but when all the jets are going at onoe, 1000 gallons are used in fifteen seconds. :m 2 g z =. 3 It Q i z * — o» m . 3 ' o X ( Ixxxiii ) 0) H 3 O Ul X Ul Ul o. o o u «> K m (0 Ul Z a Ul Ul S THE "OLD LONDON" STREET. DESCRIPTION OP THB STREET REPRESENTING "OLD LONDON" IN THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION AT SOUTH KENSINGTON, 1886 (ERECTED PROM THE DRAWINGS AND UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENCE OP GEORGE H. BIRCH, ESQ., A.R.I.B.A., LATE HON. SEC. LONDON AND MIDDLESEX ARCHJBOLOGICAL SOCIETY). This street is composed of Vfirions houses grouped together to form a quaint and pioturesquo thoroughAuro of the normal width of an old London street, the dates of the variouB buildings be^ng as diversified as aro their site and appearance, and the object that has been held steadily in view, is to show the City of London as it existed before the Great Fire of 1G66 swept it from oiT the face of the earth. These hounds are no pasteboard and painted canvas deluaiona, but honest structures. They represent no fanciful restorations from written records, but are faithful delineations ilrom actual drawings derived from authentic sources. A referenoo U< the uooompanyiug plan will enable the visitor to identify the different ^'-uses sind structures which are numbered as in the following description. Entering flrom the Central Avenue immediately in ih>nt of the Indian Palace stands one of the City gatos^-Bisliopegate, nduced in proportion and flanked by the City walV; this gate (not one of the original gates of which there were but four) was broken through the ancient walls, the peculiar Roman manner of building with courses of tiles being shown on the lower part; these walls might have been built during the 400 years of Roman occupation, but more probably after their withdrawal and before the tradition of the Roman manner of building had died out; abovu the arch on each side are the arms of the City of London and the arms of the Bishoprio, and immediately over the gate in a niche stands the statue of one of the bishops, William the Norman, to whom the City was particularly indebted, for by his good offices, nil tliose rights and privileges and immunities which the City had inherited Arom Roman tirnn and which had been confirmed and strengthened under the Saxon Kings, wore roounfirmeil by the Conqueror. Once a year tlie City fathers went in solemn procession to his tomb in St, Paul's Cathedral, and testified by this act their grateful recognition. Above, on the tuwi^rs which flank the gateway, are the statues of Alfred who wrested the City from the Danes, and of his sou-in-law, Aldred Earl of Mercia to whom he committed the govern- ment thereof. Passing through the gate the corresponding statue, that of William the Norman, is seen representing St. Erkonwald, the Fourth Bishop of London, a.d. 675, after the re-constitution of the see and ie.), the pillory, and the stocks placed iu the open space in front of the church tower are quaint and interesting features of the everyday life of our forefathers. This conduit stood at the junction of the four ways, Comhill, Bishopsgate, Leodenhall Street, and Gracechurch Street, and was known as the " Standard upon Comhill," and a well-known point for calculating distances from. Tho original had eight jets of water proceeding from the top of the Corinthian capital, but as the space at disposal was so limited these extra jets had to be omitted. Next to the church, and fronting down the street, is a portion of Middle Row (No. 9), which stood in the Strand, just outside Temple Bar, and was known as Butchers' Row ; these houses well represent the overhanging of the stories so prevalent in London where the groundfloor space was very limited, additional room above being obtained by these means at the expense of light and air. Butchers' Bow itself and its quaint stractures were swept away when Alderman Pickett, with a public spirit far in advance of his times, made one of the first public improve* ments by widening this portion of the Strand, leaving the Church of St. Clement Danes isolated in the midst of a large oval. These houses are historically interesting, as iu one of them the Gunpowder Plot conspirators met. Elbow Lane.— The site at tliis point considerably narrows, from 70 tu 30 feet, and the houses are not continued on parallel lines, in order to break a perspective which would have been too long for a picturesque effect, and also in order to obtain that sinuosity so characteristic of London streets. Next on the left is a fine large house of two gables (No. 10), which stood in this Middle Row, Strand, and was known as the French Am^sador's house, or the Duke of Sully's, also Monsieor Beaumont's, both ambassadoro here from the most Christian King to the Court of St James'. This Duke de Sully was the famous Henri de B^thune, the wise and popular minister to Henri Quartre, King of France and Navarre. That this house was probably occupied by him there can be little doubt ; not only from the commonly accepted tradition, but from tho fact of its being decorated with badges of the De Bethunes, the French crown and fleur-de-lis and two hands grasping one another in a true " entente cordiale." The next (No. 11) is a low structure of wood and plaster, and has been modelled from an old engraving representing a portion of Bishopsgate Street. '^1 Ixxxvi Old London. fi Beyoud thin ia an old house (Nos. 12 & 13) which wu in Goswell Street, of the date of Elizabeth's reign. The windows are mnllioned and transomed, and show one peculiarity very general in old London, in carrying on the upper lights continuously. No. 14 is a timber house with carved bargeboord, which stood next to Blue Boar's Head Yard, King Street, Westminster. The tradition as to its behig formerly occupied by Oliver Cromwell was verified in 1888 by an inspection of the parish books of 6i Margaret's, West- minster, where it was found that Lieut-Qeneral Oliver Oromwell was rated for and occupied this house some time anterior to hib taking possession of Whitehall Palace. The last house (No. 14a), decorated with medallions of the Boman Empeiort in plaster, stood on Little Tower Hill. There is nothing remarkable in the building beyond that the roof line is level and was chosen as a contrast to the all-prevailing gable. At this point (No. 15)— the termination westward of the street— the entrance thereto ia masked by one of the galleried fronts of an old London inn. The '* Oxford Arms," Warwick Lane, was chosen as a typical specimen ; but there are still remaining in Bishopsgate Street, Holbom, and more especially the Borough, several examples of these. The house beyond (No. 16) was on the west side of Little Moorflelds, Finsbnry, and was a very fine specimen of plaster work. It was not removed until the commencement of the present century. A low building connects this with two houses (Nos. 17 tc 18) possessing considerable interest; they stood at the south comer of Hosier Lane, Smithfield, over against the famous "Pye Corner," where the fearful conflagration of 1666 was arrested, after liaving laid considerably more than three-fourths of the City in ashes; they were not removed until 1800. Anotlier gateway here arrests our steps ; this was the entrance to the famous Priory of the Holy Trinity, Aldgate, founded by Queen Matilda, and whose Prior, by virtue of his o£3oe as representing the Knighten Ouild who had made over to this priory their lands and soke, was admitted as one of the Aldermen of London, of the Ward of Portsoken. According to custom, he sat in court, and rode in scarlet, or such livery as the other aldermen used. The Priory, at the dissolution, was granted to Sir Thomas Audley, whose daughter, marrying the Duke of Norfolk, gave the name to the house built by Audley out of the ruins of the Priory, — " Duke's Place." Beyond the gate (No. 19) is the inn called the " Fountain " in the Minories, which, notvrithstanding its heavy projecting stories, was so strongly framed, that when it was attempted to remove it, cart-horses had to be employed to pull the beams apart; on one of them was found the date 1480. Beyond this (No. lOti) is the gable end of the Hall of the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity (which is reached by ascending the staircases to the first floor) in Aldersgate Street, near to Little Britain. This Hall has been selected as a typical example of the Hall of a Ouild or Livery, of which there were many within the boundaries of the ancient City. It was a guild possessing property, and connected with the neighbouring church of St. Botolph's, Aldersgate Street, and after the suppression was purchased by some of the parishioners as a place of meeting. It was not removed until the end of the last century, and very accurate drawings by Capon and Carter exist in the Gardner Collection. The Bight Hon. John Staples, F.S.A., Lord Mayor of London for the present year (a member of the committee originally charged with the construction of the buUdings), has given the history of this Guild in his ' Notes on St. Botolph's, Aldersgate.' The ancient stained glass with a figure of St. Blaise, and several ancient shields which existed iii 1611, and were not iced by N. Charles, Lancaster Herald, have been faithfully reproduced. The house beyond is one of the most remarkable in this street (No. 20), remarkable not only fof its extreme richness of decoration, but as being connected with Sir Bichard Whittington, famous in song and in story. It was situated four doors from Mark Lane in Crutched Friars, or Hart Street, up a courtyard, and was described in old leases as Whittington's Palaod. Although the house from its style and ornamentation could not possibly have been of his time it is possible that the front only had been ornamented and altered, for in general outline and arrangement it resembled houses of that date — it was richly ornamentpd with carvings of the armorial bearings of the city companies, which stamped it os being the house of a remarkable personage and one whom the City delighted to honour. It was impossible to reproduce the extreme richness of its decoration. The ornamentation has therefore only been painted, the original having bcou entirely carved and painted and gilt.

The last two houses (Nos. 22 ft 28) In this street on the left before arriving at the gate at which we entered were also from the Gwilt collection (now in the Gardner) and stood in the High Street, Borough; they were only removed of late years, and were drawn and measured by Mr. Owllt. - As to actual size the whole of the buildings have only been slightly reduced, but this has been done in proportion, although such reduction is not to %. uniform scale, but has been adopted in the different oases to suit the uniformity of the plan and arrangement of the whole. The interiors, it must be recollected do not in all cases correspond in size with the exteriors. The foregoing notice is written firom particulars ftumished by Mr. Geo. H. Birdi, the architect, and is not intended to be more than a very brief description of the examples selected to represent " Old London." The buildings were designed and constructed as bearing upon and connected with the special objects of the International Health Exhibition, 1884, to which the Corporation of the City of London and several of the Livery Companies liberally subscribed. The Boyal Commission has placed at the service of the Colonial Commissioners the whole of the upper rooms of this street. On the right side of Old London will be found the rooms set apart for the use of the Colonial and India Offices, and also those for tho Crown Agents of the Colonies; all these rooms lead into the Colonibi Commissioners' Club.

There is always a fascination in watching the graceftd, silent movements of the denizens of our waten ; and whatever form an exhibition may take, a glimpse into the Aqueous (Kingdom through the medium of Aquaria is always heartily welcomed by everybody. Although the exhibitions that have succeeded that of the International Fisheries have been of an entirely diiferent character, the Aquarium has always maintained its position of interest; and this is particularly the case with the present Exhibition, when an opportunity will be afTorded to Colonial visitors of inspecting the various fish indigenous to ihiu country. The CounoU of the National Fish Culture Association have done their utmost to heighten the attraotivenees of this department ; and preparations have been in course of progress since the commenoement of the present year for bringing to perfection the neoessary preliminary arrange- ments whereby to ensure the successful retention of fish in captivity. During the winter the Aquarium was oarefiilly maintained, so that the collection now shown to the public includes many well-seasoned and matured specimens. In order to render the fresh and sea-water as dear as possible, it has been clarified by Maignen's " Filtre Rapide." Elaborate arrange- ments have beem made fi» replenishing the tanks with marine and firesh-water fish, and with this in view special fishermen and naturalists are being employed on all ports of the coast to capture and forward specimens, so that the Aquarium may always be replete with selected fishes, fbrming a unique display so far as London is concerned. The specimens on view include the torbot, Mle, balibat, biill, plaice, fiioonder, dab, pilchard, shad, cod, haddock, whiting, hake, Aquarinm ofBritUk Fu^.

In order to intenaify Uie intereat attaching to the colleotlon of live flah, the Lords of the Committee of the Council on Edncation have again giren their consent to a portion of the Buck- land Museum Collection being exhibited in the Aquarium. Thus a wide and diTeraiflad collection of interesthig and edifying objecta are presented to the public conjunctively with the live flsh, all of which embrace an important and popular combination of exhibits relating to Fish, Fisheries and Fish-culture. an Thames Hety. iwded with Ksination in er form an Aquaria is ided that of larinm has e present the varions ) heighten I since the r arrange- I winter the |ic includes i-water as le arrange* l, and with tke coast to cted fishes.

In order that speoimena of fish indigenous to the vaters of India and the Ooloniea might be displayed at the present Exhibition, the Oounoil of the National Fish-Culture Association were requested by the Royal Oommissioners to form a special Aquarium for the same. The Asso- oiatiop being anxious to do everything in their power to impart fresh information to the public, and at the same time farther the cultivation of C!olonial fishes, readily acquiesced, and, as will be seen, have provided the requisite accommodation not only for fishes but amphibious animals as well. The new Aquarium is located in the western annexe parallel with the old one. It comprises twelve tanks for tropical fresh-water fish, and a large habitat for turtles. In addition to these a hatchery has been erected for incubating the ova of these reptiles, which will be undertaken by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers during the season. The most complete arrangements have been made to ensure the success of this experiment, which is fraught with much interest. In contiguity to the turtle tank is a miniature beach, upon which the turtle disport themselves when out of water. The water in each tauk is heated in accordance with the natural necessities of both tropical and inter-tropical fish, the apparatus for this purpose being so arranged as to be abso- lutely compliable to regulation. The water in the turtle tank is salt, but that in the other tanks is fresh. The various species exhibited will be referred to in a later edition. The tanks and other works liave been designed by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers and constructed by Messrs. Dick Badclyfie & Co. FISH-CULTURE DEPARTMENT. The Fish-Culture Section is situated in the al>ove Aquarium, and stretches as far as the Canadian Court. During the winter r.nd spring this department was the scene of lively activity on account of the hatching season, when hundreds of thousands of fish eggs were successfully incubated, the fry being transferred to public waters and to the Establishment of the Association at Delaford Park, Iver, Bucks. It is to be regretted that, owing to the time of year, the public were prevented from viewing the operations, which were of a very interesting and instructive character. In this department there is a very fine display of mature Salmonidio and yearlings, besides the various apparatus and appliances used in the work of breeding and rearing fish. These apparatus consist of hatching boxes, rearing and feeding boxes, invented by the Marquess of Exeter and Mr. W. Oldham Chambers. His Lordship also exhibits models of an oyster-culture establishment and fish ponds. The remaining exhibits are from the Buckland Museum Collection, and comprise a series of Canadian and American fish-culture appliances, and a model of Billingsgate Market, designed by Mr. J. L. Bayer, and a model of a fish-culture establishment by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers, F.L.S. A wide and diversified combination of exhibits relating to Fish, Fishing, and Fish Culture are thus brou^t together in thia Section, which will doubtless p. ive highly interesting to the general public. The Council of the National Fish-Culture Association are desirous of acknowledging the special services that have been rendered in the Aquarium and Fish-Culture Department by Professor Baird, United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries; Mr. William Burgess, Malvern Wells; Mr. J. S. Charles, Lower Grosvenor Place; The MacLaine of Lochbuy; Mr. T Andrews, Guildford; Messrs. Dick Radclyfie & Co., Holborn; Mr. P. A. Maignen, St. Mary-at- Hill, E.C. ; Messrs. Poland Bros. ; Mr. W.

Fir$t Ea$i India Company, 1600. — The English^East India Company, which oommenoed and consolidated our Empire in the East, had its origin at the close of the 16th century in a diflference with the Dutch regarding the price of pepper. The cost of that article had hitherto been about 3a. per pound ; in 1599 the Hollanders raised it against the English to 6a. Thereupon the merchants of London held a meeting, with the Lord Mayor in the chair, to establish an association for the purpose of trading direct with India. On the 31st of December, 1600, the English East India Company was incorporated by Royal Charter, under the title of " The Qovemor and Company of Merchants of London trading to the East Indies," with 1 25 shareholders, and a capital of £70,000. This sum was raised to £400,000 when voyages to India were first undertaken on the joint-stook account. Those voyages were at first chiefly voyages of experi- ment, and profitless. The Portuguese would not allow any interference with their trade on the western coast of India, and hostilities ensued ; but in 1615 Captain Best with four English ships won a great victory over the Portuguese squadron at Surat, and succeeded in obtaining a treaty from the Emperor Jehdngi, by which an ambassador from the Court of England was permitted to reside at the Court of the Groat Moghul, and other privileges in furtherance of the Company's trading interests were accorded. The Ambassador, Sir Thomas Roe, was sent out immediately by King James I., and gained other trading con- cessions. James's successor being in need of money, gave a new Charter to a new Company of merchant adventurers, to the prejudice of the previously- existing rights gmntod by the Charter of Queen Elizabeth. For a time this caused the utmost disorder to trade. "Interlopers," as they were called, availed themselves of the opportunity to speculate upon their own account, and established a system of European piracy in the Indian Seas, which frightened and harassed tiio natives, and brought all legitimate trade to the very verge of ruin. The strong hand however of Cromwell was put forth in time to save utter commercial ooUapse. The rival companies combined ; the Navigation Act gave an impetus to iVosn trade ; concessions were obtained from the European maritime powers whioh laid broader foundations for the commercial prosperity of Great Britain ; while the general credit of the English traders — notwith- standing certain ** piratical" exceptions — for probity began to make a due impression in India. Madraa Foiimfetl, 1630. — The first territorial possession which the English ujquired was a strip of land on the coast below Masulipatam, six milejs long md one mile inland, purchased from one of the Hindoo rajahs of the Peninsula n 1639. Here they buUt a factory with a surrounding wall, whioh, surmounted nrith some cannon, they called Fort St. George. In 1653 this settlement of Hadras trae oroattd au independent Presidency. u2 Id Tk« Ik^pif of India* Bombay Foundedt 1668.— On the west coast the English had established a factory at Surat as early as 1612. In 1661 the island of Bombay was given by Portugal to Charles II. as part of the dowry of his bride, Catherine of Braganza ; but it was not made over until 1665. Three years afterwards the "Merry Monarch " sold his rights over it to the East India Company for an annual payment of £10. In 1687 the Company withdrew their factory from Surat, and Bombay became the seat of the Western Presidency. Calcutta Founded, 1698.--It was not until 1684 that the Company obtained permission from the Moghul Emperor to trade in Bengal, and in 1640 the first English factory was established at Hiighli. In 1681 Bengal was declared a separate Presidency ; but the Company, although holding certain subordinate factories at Cossinbazar, Patna, Balasore, Malda and Dacca, had not yet acquired any territorial possessions as in Madras and Bombay. In 1696 the Nawab of Bengal ordered the confiscation of all the English factories. The merchants at H^gbli retreated twenty-six miles down the river to a village amid the swamps. Here they laid the foundations of the original Fort William, and purchased from the son of the Emperor Aurangzeb the three villages of Sut&natf, Ealikata, and Govindpur. This was the beginning of Calcutta, the city of palaces, and the capital of the British Empire in Hindustan. About this time another rival association, with a capital of two millions sterling, and calling itself the ** Sootch East India Company," was incorporated, and issued licenses for free trade in the East. Over-ti-ading was the result of this rivalry. The English markets were glutted with Indian produce, while the English manufactr rers, feeling the effects of the excessive importation of calicoes and silks, petitioned for their prohibition, or for increased import duties. A compromise was, however, effected in 1708 through the arbitration of Earl Godolphin, and all the English Companies were finally amalgamated under the name of " The United Company of Merchants trading to the East Indies " under the charter granted by Queen Anne. 7%e United Ecut India Company. — In 1744 war broke out between the English and French in Europe. Dupleix was then governor of the French Settlement at Pondicherri, and Clive was a young writer at Madras. In 1746 that town surrendered to a French squadron, but by the peace of Aix-la-Chapelie, two years afterwards, it was restored to the English. Dupleix, notwithstanding the existing European peace, endeavoured to destroy the English influence in India, but he was no match in the field for the young writer, who had then exchanged the pen for the sword, as the surprise and subsequent defence of Arcot by Clive proved. The story of the capture of Calcutta by Siraj-ud- Dowlah, and the tragedy of the Black Hole needs no repetition. Clive, who was at Madras, sailed at once with Admiral Watson's squadron, and speedily recovered the city, and on the field of Plassey gained a victory which has been accepted in history as fixing the date of the true foundation of the British Empire in India. The Nawab surrendered the tract of country round Calcutta known as the Twenty-Four Pargan&s — an area of upwards of 800 square miles. To this four years afterwards was added the grant of the three districts of Bardw&n, Midnapur, and Chittagong, estimated to yield a net revenue of half a million sterling. In 1765, after the revolt of Mir E^sim had been put down, the Com|9«tny obtained the fiscal administration of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa.

It was his ambition as an administrator to consolidate the territory acquired by his soldier predecessor. He found himself, however, forced into wars with the Mahrattas and with Mysore. Although he bettered the finances of Bengal to the extent of a million sterling a year, almost tbe only territory acquired during his administration was the suzerainty of Benares, for of the conquests made in the Mahratta war, only Salsette and Elephanta and two other sAall islands were retained by the English. The first war with Mysore was concluded by a peace with Tipii in 1784 on the basis of a mutual restitution of all conquests. But on the close of the second Mysore war, in 1792, when Lord Comwallis, then Governor-General, led the British Army in person with the Nizam of the Deccan and the Mahratta chiefs as allies, Tipu was made to yield one half of his dominions to be divided between his conquerors, and to pay three millions sterling indemnity. At the close of the 18th century the English power was paramount in Lower Bengal, and was further consolidated from the sea-board to Benares high up the Gangetic valley. In Southern India the Company's possessions were chiefly confined to the coast districts of Madras and Bombay. In 1798 Lord Momington, better known as the Marquis of Wellesley, arrived in India as Governor-General, bringing with him the determination that England must be the one paramount power in the Peninsula, and that the native princes could only retain the insignia of sovereignty by surrendering their political independence. In 1801 the Nawab of Oudh, who had agreed to pay a subsidy of £760,000 a year for the aid of British troops, but who was always in arrears, made over to the Company in lieu of a cash payment the district of Bohilkhand and the fertile tract between the Ganges and the Jumna, known as the Doab. This made the English territorial rulers as far as the centre of the present North-Western Provinces, and established their political influence in Oudh. In 1799 a third war broke out with Mysore, TipA having been discovered intriguing with the French. At Seringapatam, where his capital was stormed by the English, he died fighting in the breach, and his territories, with the old State of Mysore, were portioned between the English and their allies, the Niz&m of Haidarabad and the Mahrattas. About this time the Carnatic and Tanjore wera placed under direct British administration, thus constituting the Madras Presidency almost as it has existed to the present day. In 1800 the English territorial influence in the Bombay Presidency was increased by the grant of districts made over by the Peshwi of Poena — an act which so incensed the other Mahratta chiefs that it led them into war against the British. This second Mahratta War was made famous by the successes of Sir Arthur Wellesley and General Lake, the former winning the decisive victories of Assaye and Argaum and capturing Ahmednagar, and the latter being equally successful in the pitched battles at Aligarh and Lasw&ri, and taking the cities of Agra and Delhi. The French troops of Sindhia were scattered, and he himself to secure peace ceded all claims to the territory north of the Jumna, his companion in arms and misfortune, the Bhonsl4 B4j4 of N&gpur, making submission too, and forfeiting Orissa to the English. This can^paign brought the Nprth-Westem P^Qvii^c^ vnder British rule. 6 The Empire of India. I 1 The new distriots woto amalgamated with those previously acquired from the Nawdb of Ondh into the ** Ceded and Conquered Provinces." It was not until the sucoession of the Earl of Moira, better known as tbo Blarquis of Hastings, to the Qovemor-Generalship that there was any further increase to the Company's territorial possessions in tLe East ; hut during the two wars in which he embarked, viz., the campaign against the Giirkhas and that against the Mahrattas, these possessions were considerably extended. The defeat of the former gave to the English the much-coveted hill sanitaria of Naini Tdl, Massuri, and Simla, and that of the latter added the dominions of the Feshw& to the Bombay Presidency. The overthrow of the Pind&ris, which took place in the same year (1818) secured the territory which formed the nucleus of the present Central Provinces. At the same time the States of B&jput&n& accepted the position of feudatories to the paramount British Power, the only exception being the district of Ajmere, made over by Daulat Bao Soindia in 1818, and the tract known as Mairwara, annexed in 1820. From this time, until the accession to power of Lord Dalhousie, the boundaries of the British Empire in India remained substantially unchanged. But a conquest in another direction was made in the meantime under Lord Amherst, who in 1823 had succeeded the Marquis of Hastings. The insolence of the King of Ava, accompanied by a series of encroachments upon the British districts of Bengal, forced the Governor-General to declare war against Burma in 1824. The first Burmese campaign lasted for two years, causing a loss to the British of 20,000 lives, chiefly from disease, and an expenditure of £14,000,000, but giving England possession of the Provinces of Arakan and Tenasserim, the King of Ava abandoning also all claim to Assam. In 1833 the Charter of the East India Company was renewed for twenty years, but on condition that the Company should abandon its trade entirely and permit Europeans to settle in the country. Lord William Bentinck was then Governor-General, and his seven years' rule was an epoch of administrative reform, signalised by only one act of annexation, that of the little territory of Coorg, which was taken under British sway " in consideration of the unanimous wish of the people." In 1842 Lord Auckland was superseded by Lord EUenborough, during whose brief administration the great Province of Sind was annexed after the overthrow of the Ameers by Sir Charles Napier at the desperate battle of Miani. lu June, 1844, Lord EUenborough was recalled by the Court of « Directors, and was succeeded by Sir Henry (afterwards Lord) Hardinge. At that time there was but one remaining Hindu power in India — that of the Sikh nation. In 1845 war was declared by the Governor-General, the Sikh army numbering 60,000 men with 160 guns having crossed the Sutlej and invaded British territory. Within three weeks four pitched battles were fought, at Mudki, Ferozshahr, Aliwal, and Sobrdon, ending in the driving back of the invaders and the surrender to the British of Lahore and the Jalandhar Doab, or tract between the Sutlej and the B&vf, a British force being left to garrison the Punjab for eight years. In 1848 Lord Hardinge returned to England, and was succeeded by the " greatest of Indian Pro-consuls" — Lord Dalhousie. During his eight years' rule as Governor-General the policy of annexation may have said to have culminated. The treaoherons assassiuation of two British oflSoers at MtUtan led to a general The Empire of India. i from the nm as tbo ly further ig the two and that led.

Miiltan foil bofore the British arms, and at the battle of Gujrat the Sikh power was utterly flestroyotl. The Punjab was proclaimed a British Province on tho 29th of March, 1849. Throe years afterwards fresh insults and ill-treatment towards Europeans by the King of Ava brought about another Burmese War. The whole Valloy of the Irawadi, from Bangoon to Prome, was occupied in a few months by British troops, and as the King refused to treat or make^ reparation it was annexed under the name of Pegu to the Provinoes of Arakan and Tonassorim, which the Company had acquired in 1826. The policy of Lord Dalhousie towards the native feudatory states was that misgovemment or lapse of natural successor should cause such state to lapse to the British Government, on the maxim that tho good of tho governed should be the first consideration. Accordingly the State of Siitdra in 1849, and that of Jhansi in 1853, became British territory, and on the death of the last of the Mahrattd BhonsUs of N&gpur, his territories were annexed, and became the Central Provinoes in 1853. In that year the Niz&m of Haidar- &b&d was induced to hand over to British administration the district known as the Berars, as a territorial guarantee for his arrears of subsidy. But the culminating act of annexation was that of the Kingdom of Oudh in 1856 — an act which had been resolved upon only after long and painful hesitation on the part of the Court of Directors, and after repeated friendly warnings to the Oudh Government, which was one of tyranny and oppression to the people. The proclamation was issued on the 13th of February, 1866, and Oudh was annexed to British territory without a blow or the shedding of a drop of blood. Lord Dalhousie, who returned to England almost immediately, but only to die, was succeeded by his friend Lord Canning, whose Viceroyalty was clouded by the storm of the Mutiny, which burst forth in the Sepoy Army in May, 1857. The fate of the British Empire in India — at stake for a moment — was decided by the valour of Englishmen— soldiers and civilians, aided by the loyalty of native soldiers and chiefs, who remained faithful to their "salt" and treaty obligations. But the Mutiny decided the fate of tho East India Company, which had then existed for two and a half centuries, and whose charter had been renewed for the last time in 1853, but only for a period at the discretion of Parliament. On the 1st of November, 1858, at a Grand Darldr held at Alla- habad, Lord Canning announced that the Queen of England had assumed the entire government of India. On January 1st, 1877, at another and more magnificent Barhar. held by Lord Ly+ton on the " Eidge " at Delhi, overlooking the ancient capital of the Moghals, and attended by all the great feudatory princes and chiefs throughout the land, Her Majesty was proclaimed Empress of all India. In 1786, when Lord Cornwallis landed at Calcutta as Governor-General, the British Empire in India comprised only Bengal and Behar in Eastern Hindustan, a very little area round Bombay in the Western Dekhan, and a somewhat larger area round Madras, in the Eastern Peninsula. In 1886 the British power is paramount over an area of more than a million and a half of square miles, containing upwards of two hundred «iid fifty millions of inhabitants. : 5; Adveriiiementi. « ! - ■ I ' 1 . l( j { i dor BtMl OMttags «m of ipeelal adTantaM tor Oolealal ud Venlcn Vawn, on Moennt of thtir wTbu -- lilghtBtM.

The Colonial and Indian Exhibition is primarily due to the initiative of H.B.H. the Prince of WaloB, whose eaniest desire and object it has been that the series of Exhibitions should culminate finally in one great Imperial display, of the resources and industries of the Empire of India, and of the Colonies that constitute what has been well called Greater Britain. His Royal Highness, as Executive President of the Royal Commission, at the first meeting of the Commissioners, held on March 30, 1885, said that the project was essen- tially one of a national and imperial character, differing in this respect from former exhibitions, in which the elements of trade rivalry and profit largely predominated. At the same meeting the Earl of Eimberley, the Secretary of State for India, indicated the purpose and method of the Exhibition in the following words : — " There is, perhaps, nothing more desirable for India, than that its products and industries should be well known in this co\intry, although we have much more to learn from than to teach them. Their beautiful manufactures which they have produced for so many ages have proved that there is a know- ledge of many branches of art, which it would be a thousand pities should be diminished under our rule. I have often been struck with the calamity of the introduction of our taste into Eastern arts and manufactures, for their taste is far better than ours, although we have no doubt engineering knowledge and skill, and the command of capital ; and I cannot conceive of any advantage greater than that the two countries should be brought together. The Qovemment of India will undertake the collection and management to a great extent of what is to be sent to this country. You will see from the immense size of our Indian Empire and the position of the Government there, that it is much better this should be taken in hand by the Government." In order to thoroughly carry out the idea, so far as India m concerned, and to ensure a thorough and complete representation of her arts, industries, and resources, tho Secretary of State for India not only guaranteed a sum of £20,000 to the guarantee fund, but also authorised the expenditure by the Government of India of about 100,000 rupees, practically equal to about £7,500, in providing a collection of the natural history, ethnography, and social economy, administration, raw products, and primary manufactures of India. It was further arranged that the Imperial and provincial collections, which were being prepared for the projeeted Bombay Exhibition, should be forwarded to South Kensington. Mr. Buck, Secretary to the Government of India in the Revenue and Agricultural Department, and Commissioner for India, describes the scheme under which the collections of exhibits provided by or through the agency of the Government of Indite have been arrapged. " These collections, made with .il II 10 The Empire of India. the assistance of the Governments of Fresidencios and Frovinoes and of the Bulers of Native States, are distributed in three main divisions over the spaces allotted to the Government of India. The divisions are : — ^I. The Art-ware Courts, containing specimens of art-ware and ornamental fabrics from each Indian Province or State. II. The Economic Coust, in which are placed economical products, and exhibits of agriculture and ethnology from the whole Empire. TIL The Administrative Courts, con- taining exhibits contributed by administrative departments. The primary arrangement of the division which comprises the Art-ware Courts is geo- graphical, and not, as has hitherto been the case in all Exhibitions to which India has contributed, technical. In other words, Art exhibits are primarily divided with refertace to locality, and not with reference to classi- fication. It Is true that, in the descriptive labels attached to each exhibit, an uniform classification has been followed in accordance with a classified list, which will be found in the Special Catalogue, but the primary arrangement has reference to the place of manufacture, and not to the place which the exhibit occupies on the classified list. The cause of this departure from the usual system is to be found in the circumstance that in India the Art manufactures of any one place are, as a rule, so different in character from those of any other place that they ought not to be confounded by being brought under the same group. It is no exaggeration to say that a particular kind of Art-ware is often manufactured by one or two families only in a single locality. The absence, until a very recent date, of free communication throughout the country, the fact that the introduction of many Art trades in India is due to the importation by some ruling prince of one or two workmen from a country beyond the frontier, or from another State or Province, and the custom, consequent on a caste system, of passing on every trade from father to son, are among the causes which have helped to maintain a practice so singularly conservative. The geographical arrangement which has been followed in the Art-ware Courts has the farther advantage of indicating with consider&l*le clearness the changing complexion and character of Art manufacture as we pass from one part of India to another. It is easy to observe, for instance, the greater effect of Persian influence on many of the Art manufactures in the Punjab, when these are compared with those of Provinces further south ; this circumstance being due to the fact that the Punjab has always been from its position the first province to be overrun by successive inroads of invaders from beyond the North- West Frontier. It is easy again to notice that many of the Art manufactures of large cities are of such a kind as could only have been supported by the patronage of a luxurious Court, such as that which existed under the Mogul THRESHER & GLENNY, EAST INDIA AND OENERAL OUTFITTERS ra BJUB.

Emperors at Delhi ; or to form the conclusion from an examination of the Art specimens contributed by the capitals of decayed principalities, that the decline of much Indian decorative Art is due to the fact that manufacturers have now to work for a class of purchasers far poorer as well as less luxurious in habit than the wealthy nobles and princes of the courts of ancient times. It will not be out of place to take advantage of the preceding remarks to explain that one important decorative Art has still survived with encouraging symptoms of vitality under the support of the wealthy members of the middle classes ; this is the decoration of temples and house exteriors. The tendency in the present day is for wealth to accumulate in the hands of bankers and merchants, and the custom still prevails for men of this class to spend some part of their surplus wealth in decorating the houses of themselves and of the gods they worship with carving in wood and stone. It was thought desirable, there- fore, that this living type of decorative Art should be given suitable prominence in the screens which form a double fagade in front of the Provincial Courts. The idea of thus illustrating the decorative carving which ornaments so many of the streets and temples of India was originated on a small scale in one or two of the Courts of the Calcutta Exhibition of 1883, which were enclosed by carved balustrades on the level of the ground. But in order to avoid interference with the free passage of the public, it was decided by the Boyal Commissioners that in London the carved work must be raised on arches, and it is satisfactory to know that this plan has rendered possible the imitation with greater closeness of the architectural style prevailing in India, which confines the richest part of the carving to the arches of door-ways and to verandah balustrades. The oarved screens have been constructed from a grant specially made for the purpose by the Boyal Commissioners, and they form a convenient frame-work to the Courts containing the exhibits of each Province and Native State. The arrangement of the Economio Court is not, like that of the Art-ware Courts, geographical, but follows the scientific arrangement adopted in the classified list. The conditions of a collection of products differ much from those of a collection of Art-wares. Had any attempt been made to exhibit separately the products of each Province and each Native State of the Indian Empire, the undertaking, besides entailing great expense and trouble, would have involved the unnecessary reduplication of a very large quantity of material. Very few products are confined to a single Province, and a very large number are common to all. It would, therefore, have been plainly undesirable to entail upon each separate Government the labour and expense of providing a separate collection of products from each separate geographical area, merely in order to crowd the rooms of the Economio Court with repeated specimens of the same exhibits.

The plan of the Indian Section shows that it has been arranged on the lines laid down by Mr. Buck, viz., a series of Art Courts, a Court devoted to Economic Products and Agricultural and Ethnological Exhibits, and a space set apart to >>rive some idea of the several chief departments of Government. There is also a Court occupied by private Indian exhibitors, and another for the display both to the eye and to the taste of Indian teas, coffees, and tobaccos. Beyond and independent of these is the magnificent structure, which will be known as the Indian Palace. The Vestibule is draped with the most superb examples of the finest chintzes of Kashmir, and from Kot Eamalia in the Punjab. The care and taste of Mr. Purdon Clarke, and the ready co-operation of the Maharaja of Kashmir, secured the special manuf^Ksture of these unequalled fabrics. Bound the vestibule stand on guard portrait-models of representative soldiers and native ofiBcers of the Indian army, showing the dress, arms, and accoutrements of the principal native regiments of the Indian Empire. Lieut.-Col. Coker, under whose supervision the models were made by order of the Military Department of the Government of India, has furnished a most interesting detailed list of the individual soldiers, and the history of the twenty-five regiments represented. The stalwart Lancc' Naick of the Governor-General's Body Guard, contrasting with the sturdy little Gurkha, an example of the brave men who fought side by side with our own gallant Highlanders — the Bengal infantry and cavalry, the Madras and Bombay armies, the Sikh soldiery once our deadly foes, but who, from the mutiny down to the Soudan campaign, have stood side by side with the English soldiers in rivalry of faithful and valiant service — all are here represented.

Pumiah and Murshidabad in Bengal, and Lucknow in the North- West Provinces, are the most notable seats of this art industry. Costly ornamented arms are made at Lahore, Sialkot in the Punjab, and also in Kashmir. Monghyr in Bengal supplies also good arms. Nagpore in the Central Provinces is noted for its steel weapons. Tumkur in the Madras Presidency has a hundred and twenty forges at good swords. unificence of geographical work, employed in the manufacture of arms and cutlery, and spears and daggers " are also made at Eutwar and Yizianagram, the superbly- mounted arms of the latter place being chiefly used in pageantry. In jewellery, Kashmir and the Punjab produce the finest gemmed and enamelled ornaments. The old court jewellers of the imperial and royal cities of Delhi and Lucknow, though by no means as prosperous as their forefathers, still maintain, though in diminished measure, their hereditary reputation. In Bengal, the esqxiisite filigrain work of Cuttack, Murshidabad, and Dacca, and the gold and silver jewellery of Monghyr are well known. In the Bombay Presidency, Ahmedabad and Surat produce in the highest perfection the ma£(sive and archaic Gujarati golden ornaments, and Sawantwadi produces the best repouaai gold jewellery in mythological designs. Tumkur in Mysore, Yizianagram, Yizegatapam, and Tanjore, are all famous for their gold and silver ornaments, and the Trichinopoly chains, necklaces and bracelets, are universally known. The best enamelling on gold is produced in Bajputana, especially at Jeypore, bufc the Sikh enamellers of the Punjab, from whose ancestors the art was learned, still maintain the excellence of their work, especially in silver enamelling. The Indian lacquer work, which is now common enough in English houses, falls into different divisions, both according to place and character.

In every Court the textile fabrics, whether in cotton or silk, will be found, and it is impossible to do otherwise than use the summary description quoted from Dr. Forbes Watson's •* Classification of Cotton Piece Goods," by Sir G. Birdwood in the " Industrial Arts of India." Among piece goods the first place is given to Dacca muslin, (Arawan or " running water ;" hafthowa, '* woven air ;" gttbhanam, " evening dew ;" all plain white webs, the poetic names of which convey to the reader a truer idea of their exquisite fineness and delicacy, and of the estimation in which they are held, than whole pages of literal description. These fine muslins are all classed under the generic term of mulmul khaSf or " kings' muslins." Plain muslins are made not only at Dacca and Patna, and other places in Ben^'al, but also at Hyderabad in the Dekhan, and at Cuddapah and Ami in ..>..»«iiaf). Stiiped muslins, or doriew, are made at Dacca, Gwalior, Nagpur, Hydor0U;( ^ ..-i, and other places. Checkered muslins, or cAarJfcana, are chiefiy made at i;acca, Nagpur, Ami, and Nellore; and figured muslins, j'amdani, at Dacca. Dr. Forbes Watson describes them as the chef-d*ceuvre of the Indian weaver. A.t Crvlcutta embroidered muslin is called chikan (needle work). Muslins woven with uv.loiired ti-rcad, and striped, checked, and figured, are made at Benares, Ami, Nellorv^, and Chicacole in Madras ; printed muslins at Trichinopoly, and gold and silver printed muslins at Jaipur and Hyderabad in the Dekhan. The process by which this mode of decoration is accomplished is by stamping the desired pattern on cloth with glue ; the gold or silver leaf, acr the case may be, is then laid on, and adheres to the glue. When dry, what has not rested on the glue is rubbed oS. In Persia, in the rare Ispahan chintzes, the gold is sprinkled in the form of dust on the pattern previously prepared with size. The Calicoes. — Dr. Forbes Watson classifies as (a) plain calicoes, bleached and unbleached, made all over India; (b) calicoes woven with coloured thread* comprising first, mats and keaie, striped cloth of brilliant hue, made largely in the Punjab and Sindh, and also at Surat, Palamcottah, Cuddalore, and other places in Madras, and used chiefly for trouserings ; second, also striped, manufactured in Nipal and Pegu and used for skirts ; and third, checks and tartans, used also for skirts and petticoats, and manufactured at Ludian&h, Baroach, Tanjore, Cuddalore, Masulipatam, and other places in Madras ; and (o) printed calicoes (chintzes, pintadoea) ; first, on a white ground manufactured at Fattehgarh, Masulipatam, and Arcot, &c. ; second, printed on a coloured ground manufactured at Shikarpur, Agra, Fattehgarh, Bijapur, Bellary, Ai'cot, and Fonneri in Madras ; and third, the celebrated palampores, or " bed-covers," of Masulipatam, Fattehgarh, Shikarpur, Hazara, and other places, which in point of art decoration are simply incomparable.

Lastly, Dr. Forbes Watson olaasos together the misoeUaneous ootton fabrics, chiefly made for Anglo- Indian use, such at the pocket-handkerchiefs of Nellore, the damask and diaper table-olotha, napkins and towels of Madras, Salem, Masulipatam, Ouddalore and Baroaoh, and the counterpanes and quilts of Eamul, Hyderabad in the Dekhan, and LudiaujJi. In silk manufaoturea the gorgeous and beautiful kinkhc^ and gold brocades come firom the looms of the holy Benares of the North-Western Provinces, Murshidabad, the whilom capital of Bengal proper, and still the residence of a titular Nawab, and Ahmedabad ; while Surat in the same Presidency comes close upon them with its productions, so much prized in Further India. The poetical names given to some of these fabrics, such as " moon and stars," " ripples of silver," *' sunshine and shade," *' pigeons' eyes," " nightingales' eyes," " peacocks* necks," suggest a marvellous variety of richness and beauty. The silks mixed with ootton which are designed to assist devout Mussulmans in obeying the precept of the Koran, are made in the Punjab and Sind, at Hyderabad in the Dekhan, at Tai^jore and Trichinopoly. Silk-weaving is still a prosperous industry in the Pui^ab, and in several divisions of Bengal. In the Madras Presidency silk of rich texture and costly pattern is made at Bangalore, and throughout Mysore silk is manufactured ; but these will come under considera- tion in their respective Courts. Obrptfto.-- It would be tedious to notice the carpets which drape the walls, as they separately occur. A few general remarks may suffice. The Indian Carpets are of two kinds, ootton and woollen. The former are known as darit, or dMrrtM, and tatr9ngi$ or rugs and carpets. These fabrics, of which examples occur throughout the Courts, are the original form of Indian carpets. Their patterns, consisting of stripes usually of blue and chocolate, or red or white, with occasional variations by the introduction of squares and diamond shapes, and even gold and silver ornamentation, are of the oldest Indian art designs. They are chiefly made in Bengal and Northern India, but the manufacture, as will be seen in the various Courts, is in nowise confined to the territories included under these heads. The Pile carpets came in with the Mussulman invaders. The principal seats of the manufacture by the regular weavers were around the Mahommedan centres, and are emimerated by Sir Q«orge Bird wood as Cashmere, the Ptti\jab and Sind, Agra and Mirzapur, Hyderabad and Warangal in the dominions of the Nisam, the Malabar Coast, Masulipatam, and the Coromandel Coast Velvet pile carpets were also made at Benares and Murshidabad, and silk pile at Taojore, Salem, and Warangal. The exquisite design and harmonious colouring of the Indian carpets of olden time are incontestable, and need no further praise.

'iiiS II 18 Tke Smpin of India. of Oriental art find grave deterioration in the productions of the present day, both in design, texture, and colouring. This has been attributed to the intro- duction by the Qovemment of India, about twenty years ago, of carpet-weaving as an occupation for the prisoners in the Indian Jails. The carpets exhibited not only in the Art Courts but also in the Court of private exhibitors, are almost all wrought on the jail looms. It must be admitted that during the first years of the new industry, the productions of the jail looms, both by the use of unsuitable aniline dyes, and the ill-advised introduction of European patterns or fancied improvements on the native designs, merited in a great degree the oppro- brium heaped upon them by connoisseurs in Indian art. The influence of the Government Schools of Art at Bombay, Lahore, and Madras, under the able guidance of Messrs. Griffiths, Kipling, and Havell, is being stoadily exercised to restore and uphold the standard of pure colours and true Oriental designs. A great improvement is noticeable in many of the carpets selected for exhibition, especially those chosen by Mr. Purdon Clarke, CLE. Among these may be specified the copies of the Jeypore Durbar carpets made at Agra and Delhi jails, and the copies of the carpets in the Asa Mahal Palace at Bijapur made at Poena and Tanna jails. The Yellore carpets are also to be commended, as well as those of Lahore and Ajmere jails, where good copies are made from the Jeypore Durbar carpets. The free weavers of Warangal spoil the excellence of pattern and weaving by aniline dyes. The necessary influence of European, and mainly of English commerce, must doubtless affect with change, not only the products of Indian looms, but other branches of native art. The Art Ware Courts throughout exemplify this, although the collection of art objects made in India by Mr. Clarke presents examples and types of the best modes, and justifies the claim made on behalf of the Exhibition to be more than a gathering of commercial wares, however beautiful and costly, and to afibrd a thorough survey of the highest, as well as the more ordinary producte of the arte of India. The musical instruments, which will be found in almost every Court, are best represented in the complete collection sent by Baja Sir Sourindro Mohun Tagore, Et, Mus. Doc., CLE. to the Bengal Court, and described by him in the Special Catalogue. The pictorial contributions will be found in the gallery of | the Boyal Albert Hall. The Art Ware Courts are entered through a gateway, contributed by Hisj Highness the Maharaja of Jeypore, and carved by his subjects. The gateway is surmounted by a Nakarkhana, or Drum-house, such as is usually found ovei the entrance to royal residences or temples in which musicians play at' statei intervals, and in regular order, certain tunes in honour of the sovereign or god] In PuooRESt, Demy Svo., cIotA, jtf( __ SACRED BOOKS OF THE EASXlfoi TRANSLATED BY VARIOUS ORIENTAL SCHOLARS, \ n^.

On the corresponding beam at the back, the motto, " Ex Oriente lux," — from the East comes light, — has been carved.

The British District of Ajmere-Mhairwara, the States of Jaipur or Jeypore, Bhartpur, Karauli and Dholpur, Western Bajputana including Jodhpur and Ulwar, Kotah and Bikanir, &o., occupy sub-courts separate or conjointly, and are contributors to the series of screens which on either side begin the vista of carved screens which line the central avenue. The Jeypore Screen. — The general design is the modified Saracenic in vogue in Upper India andBajputana. The only instructions issued to the wood-carvers were, that as great a variety of patterns should be employed as possible, the ornament to be purely Indian, and no attempt to bo m^de to work on other than the traditional lines. The men draw rough outlines with a pencil or even he graver, and each carver has done what was right in his own eyes, subject to The eateway ^® approval of the mistri or master-workman, who had to judge whether the illv fotind over '''hole work would be in harmony or not. nlav at" stated Bhartpur, Karauli, and Dholpur Screen. — The front consists of a red sand- ereizn or god '*one architrave and false arch, supported on carved pillars, and surmotmted CLARKE'S New Patent ^ 'FAIRY" LAMPS AND "FAIRY" LIGHTS EAST J, oation* )oraer, B.Oi For Ornamentally risrhtinar DRAWING and BALL BOOMS, OONSBBVATOBIBS, BVENINO PBTEft TABLE DECOBATIONd, &o.

The style of architecture cannot be exactly defined, as the screen in reality is a mixture of copies of parts of several local buildings, fitted to the dimensions required ; thus the pillars, false arch, and architrave are taken from the interior of the Ehanwas Mahal (now used as the Besidenoy): the perforated work is a copy of similar works in the masjid at the Wazipur gate of the city; the central bit is borrowed more or less from a semi-circular fanlight in the city, and the cupolas OIL the turrets placed at the ends are similar to those used to cover portions of the palape. Generally speaking, the screen is a representation of local archi- tecture in details, but not as a whole. It is made throughout of red sandstone procured from the celebrated quarries in the immediate vicinity of the city of Earauli, and has been constructed entirely by local stonemasons and stone> caiTers, under the general supervision of tiie State Public Works Department. The Jodhpur screen is of carved teak wood ; it was designed and made at Jodhpur by Jodhpur artists and workmen The architecture is the modified Delhi adopted in Rajputana. The front of the Ulwar scxeen consists of panels of white marble, perforated and carved in relief, fitted in a frame-work of black marble and teak wood, and supported upon three beautifully-carved white marble pillars, 8 ft. high each. A decorative design of glass-work, on which the crest and arms of His HighnesB the Maharao Raja are emblazoned, surmounts this portion of the screen. The side portions of the screen consist of panels of red sandstone carved on both sides. The designs of the pillars and panels are taken from carvings existing in the Ulwar Palace, and are of pure Hindu style. The glass-work decoration is also taken from the iJlwar Palace, three rooms in which are entirely ornamented with work of this description. The screen is altogether of Ulwar workmanship, and the marble is from the celebrated quarries of Makrana, Bajputana. The screen for the Eotah section of the Bajputana Court consists of a front and side piece made of Sbisham wood (Dalhergia Siaau) and inlaid with ivory. This style of work is much practised in the town of Etawah in the Kotah State. The architectural design is Hindu, and has been copied from old buildings in the City of Eotah. One of the screens is designed to represent a sample of the ordinary street architecture in the Ajmere city. The archways or arcades are similar to the description usual in verandahs of houses, serais, shop fronts, &c. These arcades are often surmounted by a system of orixamental bracketing and open carved SttMi$hed in 1868.] SCHOOU OF i£ttaUith»d in 1868.

A detailed account of the varieties of cloth manufactured in Ajmere-Mhairwara gives a description of the seven varieties of cloth manufactured, which, with variations, may be used as a classification of the different cotton stuffs manufactured throughout Bajputana. First, pagris, or turbans, which are generally softer or lighter in texture than other native cloths, the ordinary dimensions being thirteen yards long by ten inches wide. Those made from native thread are used by the rural population. From English thread are made fine specimens of native muslins, into which gold thread is often tastefully introduced. Second, takri or rem, a coarse cloth made from native thread, and used by the rural population for garments on account of its durability and cheapness, also extensively for calico printing, bed covers and floor cloths. Third, tepta, a kind of coarse muslin, which is, however, seldom made or sold in the district, because the machine-made muslins of Manchester and Bombay have entirely superseded it, and the general demand for Manchester cloths is driving out cloths worked with English tLread. The fourth, khea, is a kind of checkered fabric, chiefly remarkable as exhibiting a different kind of weaving from that of the ordinary hand-woven cloths of Ajmere. The pattern is generally plain. The thread of the weft is entwined alternately with that of the warp, so that the make of the fabric appears diagonal or crosswise across the fabric, instead of the thread crossing at right angles. Of the three other sorts, one is only a variety of the takri cloth. Another called ausi, is a narrower cotton fabric used only by Mussulman women. It is distinguished by having stripes lengthwise down the piece of a different colour from, the groundwork. The commoner patterns are dark blue with white stripes, or blue with red stripes. The last called charkana, is the same all over —a kind of check variation of the preceding, with varieties in black and white check or red and blue. All native Indian fabrics are either plain cloths woven with the single thread, cloths with a longitudinal stripe, or cloths with diagonal patterns. The Ajmere cotton prints are far inferior to those of Jeypore, both in purity and brilliancy of dyes. The favourite colour is dark red, and varieties of colours are obtained by the use of indigo and turmeric. The cloth is damped and stretched, and wooden blocks, on which the floral patterns project in strong relief, are charged with colour, and then pressed down on the cloth. Tinsel printing, of which the' specimens exhibited are by no means attractive, is also common in the district. The patterns used in colour printing are almost always variations of the same design, the ground being coloured black, red, yellow, or azure blue, with striped or spotted border, and the field covered with imitations of plantain fruit, surrounded by small squares of various colours.

It is principally disposed of wholesale for export to Nimach and other places in India. Kotah also exhibits dyed cloths. The process consists of first dyeing the cloth, and secondly producing a pattern by tying up with cotton threads small portions of the cloth in pieces about the size of a threepenny piece, and often much smaller. The tying is so tightly and thoroughly done that when dipped in the second dye these spots retain their original colour. Very intricate patterns of pagodas, trees, animals and fruits are produced with three different colours. Each portion of the pattern that is required of one colour has to be knotted at one time. It is then dyed, and the second set of knots tied, and so on. The effect is almost that of crape when the pattern is a close one. Washing takes away, however, this effect and renders the doth quite flat. The Ulwar embroidery in gold and silk thread is much admired for the designs and the fineness of the workmanship, a good example being shown in the angharkhot or coat, exhibited in the Silk Ware Court. The Bikanir embroidery in gold and silver is shown on a number of exhibits, which are described as bodices, jackets and shawls of dancing girls, two being specimens of hair embroidery worked upon silk. The Shergarh embroidered cloths com- prise rugs, saddle cloths and elephant trappings made of English broadcloth, embroidered with floss silk of various colours. Saddle-cloths are the principal article, and are generally made for local sale. Of woollen fabrics, ihe Bikanir serges are considered the best in Bajputana. From Marwar come shawls and petticoats woven by Jat women in the Nagore district. These are said to have found numerous European buyers of late. CENTBAL INDIA COUBT. This Agency is also an official designatior applied to a numerous group of States placed under the charge of the Govt .nor-General. The area is 76,000 square miles, with a population a little exceeding nine millions. Of these the leading states Gwalior, ludore and Bhopal, as well aa Butlam, Datia, Chhatarpur, Dhar, Dewas, and Orchha contribute exhibits. On the right-hand side facing the Bombay Court, the Central India screen consists of three bays each about 10 ft. in length. The central bay is higher than those flanking it, and is intended to illustrate Buddhist and Hindu sculp- tures as found in Central India. The pillars are modelled on, though not exactly copied from, sculptures existing at Ehajurahu in Bundelkhand. At the base of each is a large female figure, with smaller figures on either side, and above these, groups of small figures arranged in tiers, each of a different design, TENTS FOR INDIA AND HOT CLIMATES.

The centre is occupied by an image of Ganeshji. This mixture of styles was adopted in order to take an opportunity of showing Buddhist and Hindu figures together. The bays flanking this central gateway are somewhat lower, and consist of one pillar at each extremity, supporting, with the help of the central pillars, horizontal Boreenr. of Gwalior stone-carving in relief. These pillars are of simpler style than the central pair, but are also modelled on the carvings of Ehajurahu. The stune screens consist of panels and plaques, in various designs, some copied from the Sanchi Tope, near Bhopal, others from the Fort at Gwalior, and others again planned by the workmen themselves. On the left-hand side facing the Bombay Court, the style of screen is alto- gether lighter. Here, again, there are three bays, but the central one consists of an arch in the middle about 5 ft. broad, flanked by two narrow passages about 2 ft. broad. There is no horizontal screen in the central portion of this bay, which is simply an archway, but the side portions are fitted with glazed tiles. One flanking bay is fitted with perforated stone-work from Gwalior, and tbe other with per^'^rated wood-carving from Ujjjain. The three pairs of pillars supporting these three bays are all of similar style, differing only in elaborate- ness of carving, and are copied from the kind of pillars often seen in temples and dwelling-houses in Indore and its neighbourhood. The perforated stone panels and wood-carvings are, as before, partly copied from actual buildings, partly designed by the workmen. The outer pillars of the portion of the screen first described, and all six pillars of the second portion, are surmounted by brass pinnacles made at Butlam, and copied from temples. The collections sent from the several States of the Central India Agency cannot be said to be extensive, nor to contain particularly striking objects. The stone-carving of Gwalior, of which the great gate of the Indian Palace is the most remarkable example, is here represented by panels and plaques, both perforated and carved in relief. Those numbered 217, 218 are especially noticeable for their fineness of workmanship. The designs are taken from the intricate and elaborate patterns of the stone lattices of tombs and palaces included in the great Fort of Gwalior, which has recently been restored to H.H. the, Maharaja Sindhia. A variety of cups, bottles, and other objects carved out of soapstone are examples of an industry common to Chhatarpur, Orchha and Bijawar. A betel leaf carved in this material, from Alipura, is noticeable for its fine execution. The small stone figures of gods from Dhar are only interesting as being the results of an industry newly started in that state, but of a collection from Mandawar some of the images of deities are old and curious JEFFREY & CO., MAKUFACTUBEBS AND KXPORTSBS OF ALL CLASSES OF ARTISTIC WALL PAPERS (free from Arsenic), EmboMwl LMthan and lieath«r Papers, HaBd>priat«d DeMratleni, Flooka, Laeqnercd Qold Papcn, Oelltiig •nd Nuneiy Papen, amd all olaism or Ouap MAonin Pimm Wall Patub.

Jewellery. — The enamels of Butlam are produced by the same process as those of Partabgarh, elsewhere mentioned, difiering only that the ground colour is blue instead of green. The work of the gold and silver smiths of Jhansi is seen in the gold and silver rings, which are of exceedingly light and fine workmanship. But the best assortment is from Indore, and contains very good samples of native ornaments. Some of the bracelets are of superior make. Of the 'gold and silver plate the best are the salvers in silver r^mteti work ornamented with gold from Bampura in the Indore State. The bracelets, armlets, and necklets made of base metal, ohiefiy of zinc, from Bewah, deserve careful examination, many of them showing very beautiful designs. An old and curious set of chessmen in brass from Charkhari, a spherical lamp of perforated brass work, which can be rolled along the ground when lighted, and a lock containing a double-barrelled pistol from Chhatarpnr, the brass pinnacles from Butlam which decorate a portion of the screen, and different vessels of hookahs, &o., in white metal from TJjjain, are illustrative of the special manufactures of those places. Amongst the arms is an antique sword from Charkhari. It is said that a Baja of Charkhari used to tie the head and four legs of a camel together and cut them through with one blow of this weapon. Of modem arms, a beautifully wrought inlaid shield, with three daggers fastened to it to serve as offensive weapons, is from Datia. A gold damascened sword and axe is from Fanna, adjacent to which town lie the celebrated diamond mines. A variety of small wares in the ordinary lacquer-work is contributed from Bewah. This universal Indian manufacture will be noticed more at length in other Courts where there is an opportunity of drawing attention to more examples. Many of the designs, of which there is a considerable variety, are pleasing, and the same may be said of the Indore bangles. Textiles. — Foremost amongst the cotton fabrics stand the muslins, turbans, loin-cloths, f the gold and silver ornaments used by the high-oaste Hindus of Foona has been Specially made to order for this Exhibition, with the difference that baser metals are used instead, and gilt. This collection has thus been secured for a very small sum, and fully represents the original shapes, and even the lustre, as a part of it is gilt and another electro-plated. From Baroda comes a collection of gold and silver articles, mostly ornaments in common use. But a notable addition is the caparisoned and dressed silver model of the state elephant. Aden, which, tliough situated on the Arabian coast of the Bed Sea, is under the administration of the Bombay Government, contributes a fine collection of silver jewellery as worn by the Arab and Somali women. The shapes are not only massive but very quaint, and it is a collection which deserves a special and dose inspection, as it is particularly interesting both to the fanciers of silver work, and to the student of comparative ethnology, who can read remote kinship in the long^escended forms of ornament common to widely separated races. Textile Fabrics. — Notwithstanding the changes in the prosperity of the cotton cloth industry, caused first by the extinction of the trading monopoly of the East India Company, which affected Surat, and more recently by the unrestrained Manchester imports, which have almost destroyed the cotton manufactures of Broach, there is still a very extensive industry carried on throughout the Bombay Presidency, both in weaving cotton cloth, printing calicoes, and manu- facturing articles of dress worn by both sexes. In the Ahmedabad collectorate the weaving of cotton doth is still an important industry. In Ahmedabad itself there are several steam factories employing over two thousand hands, Yeola, Ahmedabad, Bijapore, Baroda, Kaira, Cutch, Gondal and Sind all con- tribute a large collection of addis and kham for women, dhotia or waist-cloths, turbans, fioor-cloths, and printed cloths. Ahmedabad sends two fine examples of cloth printed with gold and silver leaf. This industry is nearly extinct, and there is only one man at Ahmedabad who carries on the work. A great distinction between the Gujarat and the Maratta races is in the decoration of their cotton goods, the purely Maratta people seldom wearing printed cotton goods, while the inhabitants of Gujarat prefer them to all others. The beautiful printed floor-cloths from Cutch and Sind are conspicuous in the decoration ol the Bombay Court. The collection of turbans sent by the Bombay Committee is doubly interesting , from, the representation of the various head-dresseS' as distinguishing the diffei-ent divisions of the inhabitants of Bombay. The variety of shapes which one single piece of cloth assumes in the hands of the turban folders, without being cut or stitched together, will prove as interesting to a careful observer as the numerous social divisions that are denoted by th^em.

About 40 to 75 yftrda of oloth are required for the ponstruotion of a single turban, but the purpose of illustrating the different shapes has been seryed bv imitation patterns which show the mode of application and the result. The silk fabrics exhibited are mostly fine examples of the historical silk manufacturers of Ahmodabad, Surat, Tanna, Poena and Yeula. These are tbe chief but not the only cities of the silk manufacture in the Presidency. At Ahmedabad kinkhab or kincob, with the woof either of gold or silver only, is woven, about five or six hundred looms being engaged in the manufacture. The material is used for covering state carriages, saddle cloths, thrones, cushions, chairs, and couches, and marriage dresites of bridegrooms, bodices worn by women of Gujarat, and Mussulmans' jackets and caps are also made of it. There are two varieties of the Ahmedabad brocades, one being thick and costly, while the other is known as the banarasi, after Benares, from which town the pattern was originally obtained. This is the thinner and comparatively cheaper material. The kinkhah generally now produced and sold at Ahmeda- bad is not as superior as it formerly was, for inferior foreign gold and silver thread is substituted in the place of the purer Indian material. It was therefore necessary to have specimens carefully manufactured for the Exhi- bition, and Mr. Griffiths thus secured twelve magnificent specimens, eleven of the finest kinkhab and one of the banarasi. Such pieces are called rumah, and used for covering presents sent to high state officials. Of the latter variety a great number of samples illustrate the different patterns. A pair of light blue curtains with the keri or mango design worked in gold is specially to be admired. Besides the gold and silver kinkhab, the Surat weavers employ differently coloured silk itself in producing the effect in lieu of the gold and silver thread. There is a large exportation to Siam of gold and silver brocade in the form of loiu cloths, which are used by the princes and nobles of that country. A variety of Surat brocade, in which the design is partly worked in coloured silk and partly in bullion thread, is known as Jaridano. One silk and cotton brocade is called nabdbi himro from the fact of this particu- lar pattern being exclusively appropriated for the last four or five generations to the use of the families of the Nabob of Surat. Although a mixed material the cotton warp is so covered by the silk weft as not to be visible, and thus enables devout Mussulmans to comply with the law which prohibits them from wearing garments of pure silk. There are numerous specimens of that peculiar pattern, the bandhdna or knot-dyeing, which gave its name to the old bandanna handkerchief. The surface of the undyed cloth is divided into one- inch squares by the draughtsman or chitamav. . The knotter or bandhanaro picks up a little cloth at each comer of the squares, and ties it into a knot according to the pattern. When knotted all over, the cloth is dyed the colour HOWARD & SONS, originm MAKERS OF.ENGLISH PARQUET FOR COVBRINQ OLD FLOORS. i^;^-^ CLEVELAND WOEKS; and at 25, 26, 27, BEBiSEEV I tj !V--;-ij cj-N/ I! v2 ;w. 86 T7t» tmpire cf India, reqnired for the ground, after which the knots are untied, and there are usually little squares of white, the centres of which are generally hand-painted in yellow. This is the simplest of bandana patterns, but they yary up to the more complicated or flower-garden design, in which many colours are applied in successive processes of dyeing. Among the silk and golden fabrics from Teola will be found a specimen of work woven red on one side and yellow on the other. This with other choice examples is shown in the Silk Court. The gold and silver and silk embroidery of Sind, Surat and Bombay is largely illustrated. It would bo worth while to compare the collection of old embroideries lent to the Bombay Committee, which show the superiority of the ancient dyes. BENGAL COUET. The Bengal Court represents the territory governed by the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal, the limits of whose jurisdiction are almost identical with those of the Dewaunee of Bengal, Behar and Orissa, conferred by Shah Alam upon the East India Company in 1765. It actually includes Bengal proper, Behar Orissa (much more extensive than the originally granted district) and Chutia Nagpur. These contain an area of 150,588 square miles (exclusive of the desolate Sundarbans (more usually Sonderbands) and a population of 66,691,546 souls, one-third of the population of British India. In addition, the Native States in connection with Bengal have an area of 36,664 square miles, and a population of 34,911,270 souls, making a total of 264,765 square miles and 69^ millions. The principal native states included in Bengal for Exhibition purposes are Euch Behar and Hill Tipperah, neither of which are large or important, and a number of small states known as the Tributary Mahals. Hindu Screen. — The screens of the Bengal Art- ware Court are an attempt to illustrate, chiefly by means of papier-mdcM castings, the styles of architectural ornament characteristic of the best Hindu and Muhammadau buildings in Bengal Proper. The Northern screen is adapted from the temple of Krishna at Eantan- agar, near Dinajpur, built between 1704 and 1722 a.d. This temple forms an excellent example of the brick architecture of Lower Bengal, and one of its chief j constructive peculiarities, the bent cornice, supposed by the late Mr. Fcrgusson to have been copied from the common bamboo hut of the country, has been repro- duced in the screen. The entire surface of the building is covered with i cotta reliefs, representing for the most part figure-subjects tal- daily life of the people. From some of the best of these cu made in a mixture of papier mdchS arid plaster of Paris, coloured match originals, and attached to the screen so as to represent the general uH'ect of the temple.

Qaur became the capital of Bengal under Muhammed Bakhtyar Ehilji in a.d. 1198, increased greatly in size and wealth up to its sack by Sher Shah, the Afghan Governor of Behar in 1537, and was finally abandoned in 1575, under Akbar, in consequence of a pestilence which devastated the city. The general idea of the screen was derived from the Qadam Basul Mosque, built by Nusrah Shah in 1530, the flat pilasters bulging outwards at the bottom are adapted from the tomb of Sultan Ghyasuddin (1211-1227), known as the Eklahi Mosque, at Pandua, while tho detailed ornamentation consists of oasts taken from tho remains of these and other buildings preserved in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. The painted design at the west end of the screen is a composition from carved stones and tiles in tho museum, and is intended to represent the enamelled tiles with which tho Gaur and Pandua buildings were overlaid. Carving. — Of the stucco mouldings which are characteristic of many houses in Bengal, those in Dacca are most remarkable for their beauty. The specimens exhibited were obtained with difficulty, as the work is but little in demand, and the industry is dying out. Sculpture generally has almost died out in Bengal. The great temples of Orissa and the ruins in Chutia Nagpur and Lossar show that in ancient times sculpture was a flourishing industry. Formerly Dinhat, a town in Burdwan, annually turned out large numbers of images of Krishna and the Sivaite symbols, but this trade also has declined. The clay j models of Erishnagur on the other hand belong to an industry which, origina- I ting in the manufacture of sacred images, gradually extended its scope to the representation of every form of social life. The life-sized figures which in the Economic Court illustrate the ethnology of India, and the models which faith- fully represent the rural village and the different operations of agricultural life, are all constructed at Erishnagur. Calcutta also supplies clay models, two of [which represent the goddess Durga, otherwise known as the " terrible Kali," I wife of the god Siva the Destroyer. The annual festival called Durga Vuja, I held in Bengal in her honour, is the greatest holiday of the Hindu population. )Tho p • th, south, east and west gates of the celebrated temple of Jaggernath at ay be examined in carefully-executed models. dlery. — The chief centres in Bengal of the manufacture of jewellery are Dt Cuttack, and Calcutta.

In Cnttaok the work is generally done by boys, whose sensitive fingers and keener sight enable them to put the fine silver threads together with the necessary rapidity and accuracy. It is quite distinct in character from the indigenous silver jewellery of the country." Jewellery to suit European taste, such as necklets and necklaces, bracelets, lockets, pendants, and brooches, hairpins, shoebuckles, and other articles, are extensively manufactured for export, but the personal ornaments and attardana and panhattas, or receptacles for perfume and betel, are in great demand amongst the Bengalis. Gold and silver filigrain is also largely manufactured at Dacca. The Nawab Ahsanulla has lent a good collection of personal ornaments and boxes, among which one is specially remarkable, and silver models of elephants, &c. It is said that the demand for Dacca silver ware has increased of late, while that for Cuttack has diminished. The Maharajah of Dinajpur also exhibits a collection of the characteristic silver jewellery of that place, which shows highly interesting primitive forms, strongly recalling the ancient torques of the Celtic races. The State of Hill Tipperah exhibitn a collection of work resembling the Cuttack ware. An envelope case is specially worthy of notice. Gold jewellery worn by the higher classes in Bengal is chiefly made in Calcutta. The different shapes av^ illustrated in the exhibition of cheap jewellery made in gilt metal. These ornaments are chiefly used by women who are too poor to afford real gold or silver ornaments, and by native dancers or singers, and are brought from Bonpash E&mdrpara, in Burdwan, where the kdmdra or blacksmiths carry on their hereditary manufacture. Mahommedans, who are the professional electroplaters of Bengal, wash and gild the ornaments, giving them a complete finish. In the " Industrial Arts of India,'* it is stated that at* Dacca a considerable quantity of gold and silver plate of good original design and excellent workmanship is made. The Bengal Committee, however, report that but little gold or silver plate work is executed by the natives of Bengal. From Murshidabad an drdkdan is exhibited, while three specimens of the primitive Thibetan work have been sent from D&rjiling. The Calcutta Government School of Art shows a collection of copper repousti work made by the students. Vessels of bell-metal, brass or copper, arc used in every native household. Hindus use brass and bell-metal ware for domestic and copper for religious purposes, while the Mahommedans prefer tinned copper vessels. Ehankra, near Murshidabad, and Janjharpur near Darbhangah, have the best reputation for plain polished work. Hugli, Gaya, Moharbhanj, and Calcutta, are the only places where there is any carving worth notice, and it j NORTON'S PATENT ABYSSINIAN AND ARTESIAN For providing larv* or unall •appllsa of Pure Water. tor Irrigation porposM.

The cut figures of deities from Gaya and Moharbhanj are quaint in design, but without finish. The collection of spittoons, watercups, drinking vessels, chillumchis, plates and bowls, &c., was purchased in the Calcutta Bazaar. It consists of articles manu- factured in Calcutta or brought from the districts of Bankura, Burdwan, Howrah, Ahmedabad, and Murshidabad. The large and smaller brass spittoons are specialities of the village of Belur in the Howrah district. Good speoimens of the best boll-metal wares manufactured in Murshidabad will be found amongst them. Birbhum furnishes a large coUeotiotf, and Eangpur sends two examples of Chilmari cups, so called from the place of their manufacture ; one (894) is a nest of nine bell-metal cups, locally called a gdnjd hati. The next is a tumbler with a cup below and another at the top, with a small plate covered over Mrith a conical cover.

Among the other carvinga are fignres of prominent personages of the Hindu mythology. An ivory hat and an ivory fan ( 1 480-1 ), are presentations from H.H. the Maharaja of Hill Tipperah to H.B.H. the Prince of Wales. Lacquered Waree. — The lacquered wares of Ilambazar in Birbhum, and of Mursbidabad, are the best in Bengal. The models of fruits and vegetables are not good, nor is much artistic taste shown in the colouring, but the polish of the surfaces shows great care in the manipulation. The Fatna cups and boxes have better pretensions to design, but their workmanship is rude and unfinished. The Shahabad playing cards, made of pieces of talc lacquered and ipainted, are a noteworthy specimen of Indian art, and amongst the Mursbidabad gold-spangled articles some are worthy of notice. At late Exhibitions there have been seen no specimens of Bengal wood carving. The present collection shows that the art, though not much practised, still exists. The models of the temples constructed at Barakhar, Cuttack, and Dinajpur, are good samples of the Bengali skill in carpentry. The Qaya oarving, both old and modem, can be studied in the specimens of old doorways and balconies, and the new doorway made at Gaya. Calcutta Government School of Art furnishes a gambhar-wood (Gmelina arborea, Sox.) jewel-box cai*ved after Hindu ornamental designs, by Babu Harish Chandra, the teacher of wood carving in the School of Art, Calcutta. The five reponw6 copper electro-plated panels fixed on the top and sides are made by Babu Saratchandra Das, a student of the same school. The designs in these are taken from Bhubaneswar Temple, in Orissa. Four sets of ornaments, each consisting of necklace, a pair of bracelets, a pair of rings, and a brooch, are exhibited &om Monghyr. One is of buffalo horn, two of ebony, and the fourth is a curious set made out of betel nuts, and a remarkable stick made of betel nuts joined together, with an ivory handle, made at Sarun, is noted as presented by the Maharaja Krishna Fratab Sahai of Hatwa, to the Government of Bengal. The carved stone-wares manufactured at Gaya, locally called soniraeh, are the best of the kind in Bengal. They are purchased to a large extent by the pilgrims who visit Gaya, and the Fubllo Library of that place has lent a very good collection, pottery, &c., including black marble jars, plates, &c., figures of idols, mendicants, and animals. Two large plates from Monghyr have been presented by Messrs. Ambler & Co., whose manufactures are illustrated by a large collection in the Imperial Court. The pottery of Bengal is more remarkable for its shape than for external finish or decoration. Dinajpur contributes the best forms. Messrs. Bum & Co.'s Bamganj Fottery Works turn out excellent pottery, though not of an oriental desoription.

In the Fatna glass ware there is a strong inclination manifested to imitate European work. Textile Fabrics. — ^With the exception of the celebrated Dacca muslins, the Murshidabad and Bankura silks and the Tasar silks^ the fabrics of Bengal are not of a high order of excellence. Notwithstanding the supercession of native- made cotton fabrics by the cheaper piece goods of Manchester, which has taken place generally throughout the country, the former are still woven in small quan- tities in every district. A collection of cotton fabrics bought in Howrah Bazaar, and those made in Dinajpur and in the Chittagong and Hill Districts, show generally the style of native-made cloths worn in Bengal. In the first collec- tion it is believed that no Indian dyes, with the exception of indigo, are used. The twist and the dyes are imported, and the dhotis and saris are woven in the villages. The country-woven cloths are more durable than imported piece- goods, but their comparatively high prices prevent their being commonly worn. The colours in the cloths from the Hill Tnbes are firm and durable, while the designs are generally good. The kokti cloth, which resembles the well-known Jcaki used for hot-weather uniforms, and is superior to it in that it does not change colour or fade, is manufactured in Fumia, Muzafferpur and Dharbanga. A large collection of well-made cotton fabrics of European fashion is sent by Messrs. Thakur Prosad Shaw and Co. of Dinapur. In Fatna the weaving of fine cotton stufifs still continues. The celebrated muslins of Dacca are still represented, b'':;c the exquisite fineness of the historical manufacture is a thing of the past. Sir George Bird- wood tells us that in the time of Jehangir, muslin could be manufactured 15 yds. long and 1 yd. broad, weighing only 900 grains and worth £40. Now the finest piece of that size weighs IGOO grains, and is worth only £10. Bare muslins, which were named the "dew of the evening," and " running water," because they became invisible on the wet grass or in a stream, no longer exist. Several fine specimens of the present manufacture are exhibited by the Nawab Ahsanulla. Others are sent for sale. The muslins are now generally made of English twist, but the 'finer sorts of Indian twist. The weaving of the latter is carried on during the rains, and in the early morning and evening, as there is not enough moisture in the air at other times, and the warp would break. In dry hot weather it is necessary when weaving the finest fabrics to keep shallow vessels of water beneath the net, the evaporation from which keeps the warp moist. Fubna produces the finest plain dotis and saris manufactured in "THE BRITISH TRADE JOURNAL" Guide to the Industries and Manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland.

They are only made to order for the rioh and well-to-do members of society. CAarA;Aana or colonred checks, known as Mynamati cloths from the place of thdr mannfactnre, are made in Tipperah, and said to bo prepared from cotton grown in the state. Some of the checked and striped patterns display great taste. Cotton printing with country block prints was foi*merly a considerable manufacture in Bengal, but the introduction of Manchester goods has almost destroyed the trade. Calcutta and the Districts of Darbhangah, Saruu and Patna are the only places in Bengal whore this art is still carried on. Speci- mens from Patna show that the fabrics are only stamped in colours, but in the Calcutta goods the patterns are first struck off with carved tamarind wood blocks smeared with a peculiar sort of dye stuff, and then boiled in a dye solution which leaves a reddish colour in the cloth that does not fade. Carpets are the only woollen fabrics made in Bengal. The Darjiling fabrics and rugs exhibited are manufactured in Thibet and used by Thibetans. The carpets made in the Hazaribagh and Bhagalpur jails are perhaps the best. The Patna carpets are marred by their texture and aniline dyes. The chief silk-producing districts in Bengal are Murshidabad and Ban- kura. Large collections are sent from these two places, and also from Midna- pur. Pieces of silk, probably of Chinese design, are shown from Darjiling, which also sends coats, hats and dancing dresses. Maldah dyed silks are represented by aaria of " peacock neck " colour, " sky " colour, and " sunshine and shade," which is a shot silk. Some white silks from Murshidabad are excellent examples. They are manufactured chiefly from Marohband silk, which is the best of the kind for whiteness and glossy and soft textures. Worthy of notice are five pieces of unbleached silk cloth, representing the well-known corahs. In mixed fabrics Bbagalpur sends specimens of a cloth called bafia, which is made of iasar silk in the waip, and cotton in the weft. This is described as very durable, and is in great demand both by Europeans and natives. The ba/ta cloth is of uniform colour, being dyed after being woven. The renowned embroideries of Murshidabad, the embroidered muslin of Dacca and Patna make a varied and attractive exhibition. The collections of Dacca and Calcutta embroideries are believed to he the most comprehensive that have yet been made. The embroidery known as kasldc , which is executed with the wild muga or tasar silk, is a manufacture considerarly on the increase, the pieces being largely exported by Arab merchants to Aden, Persia and Turkey for turbans. Two magnificent specimens of gold embroideiy, one being a canopy with fringes, and the other the cover of a palanquiny have been lent by Maharani Swamamayi, and a beautiful embroidered saddle-cloth (No. 97) has been pre- Bjr Special Appolntmer'' TABLE LINEN.

Adjoining the Bengal Court is the small but highly interesting court devoted to the Art-ware of the little-known territory of Kepal, which stretches from the southern ranges of the Himalayas twenty miles into the *' plain " and 700 miles along the Northern India frontier. The area is estimated at 54,000 square miles, and the population is guessed rather than reckoned at about two millions. Although, adverse to the admission of European tourists into the valleys of Nepal, the Government has co-operated with the Keindent in furnishing a small court with examples of the special arts and industries which belong almost exclusively to the Newars, whom the Ghurkhas conquered about 1768, becoming thus the dominant race. The Screen. — The front face of the screen, which is double, consists of a large central plaque, and two smaller side plaques of carved birch wood, divided and bordered by panels of carved aatisal wood. The central plaque is a copy, half the actual scale of a window above the entrance of an ancient Newar Vihar, or monastery in the town Fatan. The original window must be from two to three hundred years old. All the details have been faithfully copied in the replica. The side plaques are copies on a reduced scale of windows frequently seen in old Newar buildings — either monasteries, temples, darbars, or private dwellings. The inner face of the screen is of carved birch-wood, the patterns shown being reproductions of types of ancient Newar decorative carving. The double row of pillars and arches supporting the screen are copied from the enclosure of the temple at Tr^pureswar, on the banks of the river Baghmati near Katmandu. The carving of the front face of the central arch is supposed to represent cloudy sky, the winged figures being angels, or the substitute for them in Newar mythology, and the dragons symbols of lightning. Two models give good types of the peciiliar temple architecture of Nepal, and the architectural wood carving, which is by far the most important decorative art to be found in the country, is exemplified not only in the screen, Sm JOHN BENNETT, 65 & 64, Oheapside, London.

The carving is artistic in the highest degree. Figures of gods, demons, snakes, and animals of all sorts, wreaths and flowers and intricate patterns, are worked on balconies and windows, the proportions of which are as graceful and true as the details are elaborate. This work is done by a class of Newars called lokarmi. Unfortunately the industry is fast falling into abeyance from a com- bination of causes, of which perhaps the greatest is the expensiveness of the work. An interesting object is the front of a Nepalese pati or verandah, resting-place erected by the pious for the accommodation of travellers. It is a copy in sal wood of a pati of some antiquity in the town of Fattan. A curious sot of musical instruments includes both wind instruments and drums and tambourines, which are believed to be peculiar to the countrj'. The jewellery exhibited shows that Nepalese gold and silversmiths are not particularly skilful, but occasionally some good filigree work is seen in tho sheaths of tulwars and other weapons. Several of the designs for rings, head ornaments, &o., are peculiar and not seen elsewhere. The military head- dresses are peculiar to the country, worn by the highest class, are of great value, and composed almost entirely of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds set in silver. The brass and copper wares are examples of the work done by Newars at Fattan. They include lotas, balls, bells, lamps, and religious objects. A great deal of brass-work is done by Newars at Fattan, and the designs of some of the lamps are quaint and artistic. The pagoda-like temples are hung with little bells, to the clappers of which are attached broad leaf-shaped pieces of brass. These are set in motion by the wind, and a continual tinkle is kept up. Besides others, two classes of bells are largely manufactured. One made of brass is used in Hindu temples. The other of mixed metal is used by Buddh- ists. The bows and arrows, targets of rhinoceros hide, and other arms exhibited, may be classed as obsolete arms, though bows and arrows are still used in some parts of the Terai. The kora is a carved tulwar, the extremity of the blade widening so as to somewhat resemble the blade of an axe. It was formerly used in warfare, but at present only in beheading bullocks for sacrifice. The animal's head is taken off at one blow. In the cotton and silk fabrics, there are specimens of Nepalese homespun cloth, but the materials of the other cotton and silk clothing are imported. A very curious object amongst the saddlery is a saddle in use in the households of wealthy Nepalese. It is strapped on the backs of male or female servants, whose duty it is to carry their masters and mistresses up and down stairs, or from one part of the house to another. A Nepalese lady of rank will scarcely walk from one room to the next. MYOCOM FLY GUM. !Flte«» TTaspfli, Mosquitoes, Cookroactien canierlit. 8IHGE ITS INTRODUCTION FLIES HAVE CEASED TO BE A NUISANCE.

The North>Western Provinoos and Oudh, forming together the tipper portion of the great valley of the Ganges, have an area of 106,111 square miles, and a total population of 44,000,000. Allahabad is the present seat of Govern- ment, transferred firom the ancient Moghal city of Agra, while Luoknow is the former capital of the Kingdom of Oudh. These are all seats and centres of art manufactures, and Agra, in particular, boasts the' possession of the glorious monuments of Moghal magnificence, affection and piety contained in the Taj- Mahal, the most beautiM building in India — ^perhaps in the world— and the great Fort with itn mosques and palaces. In political connection with the Government of the North- Western Provinces are the two Native States Rampur and Gurwhal. The screens were arranged in three divisions. The first of these, a row of pillars inlaid with precious stones, taken from a large number of pillars of similar design now lying in the fort of Agra, are a gift from the Government of the United Provinces to the National Collection at South Kensington. They have been erected in an external recess of the Indian Palace on the right hand of the Gwalior stone arch. The inlaid work on the pillars is similar to much of that on the world-famed Tti^, and it is supposed that they were constructed in view of extending the buildings known as the Diwan-i-khas. Before, however, the pillars could be erected, Agra was taken and held for a time by Sooraj Mull, the neighbouring Ri\ja of Bharatpur, by whom the pillars were apparently buried previous to the town being recovered from him. The next consists entirely of stone- carving executed at Muttra and Agra for the Royal Commission. The trellised screens are faithful copies of similar screens in tlie T^ and at Fatehpur Sikri, respectively, while the open arches are in like manner copies of work to be seen in the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. The third consists entirely of wood-work. The ends of the Court are furnished by workmen ih)m the districts of Bulandshahr and Mainpuri, while the ih>ntage to the extent of 50 feet is occupied by carved wood-work, the greater portion of whidi has been dug out of ancient houses in Lucknow City under demolition lis ruinous from age. Necessarily, to adapt the screen to the dimensions insisted on, some fresh wood has had to be added, but in the main this portion represents the stylo of d.oor8, arches, &c., to be seen in the Lucknow Imzaars. Owing to the decay of the older part of the city, house demolition is an overy-day occurrence, and not a few doors, as delicately carved as this example, are to be foxiud a prey to white ants and weather in the timber yards. The remaining portion of the frontage was executed at Farukhabad from The STRANGERS' HOME, for ASIATICS, AFRICANS, and SOUTH- SEA ISLANDERS, WEST INDIA DOCK ROAD, LIMBHOUSB, LONDON. E.

Carving. — The stone-oarying of Agra, which one portion of the screen illus- trates, is applied to stone trellis-work and exquisitely fine work in marble and alabaster. This is a legacy from the golden age of Agra, when the skilled workmen of Bajputana were imported to carve the white marbles of Jeypore and the red sandstone of Bhurtpur, with which respectively the great forts and mosques of Delhi and Agra and the palaces of Fatehpur Sikri were built and decorated. The marble teapoys, plates, boxes, and paper weights, inlaid with precious stones and niother-o'-pearl, in like manner represent the revival of the art which was applied by Austin of Bordeaux to the decorations of the Taj-Mahal, and of which the early form is shown by the pillars described above. Oarved sandstone ware is also executed by the workers in the inlaid marbles; and here may be mentioned the model from Mirzapur, illustrating a Hindu temple such as are found in various parts of Upper India. The district of Mirzapur is described as abounding in good stones and good workmen. Jewellery. — The manufacture of Luckuow jewellery, though like the trade of the Jauharis, or dealers in precious stones, it has declined since the abolition of the luxurious and splendid court, still maintains its excellence, though not its extent. A speciality of Lucknow is what is known as diamond-out silver ornaments. Facets are cut and burnished which, when in the form of stars, bear at a distance a strong resemblance to the flashing of a diamond. The best, and it might almost be said the only, collection under this heading comes from Lucknow itself; but Bae Bareli and Jhansi send single examples. The gold and silver ware, as distinguished from jewellery, show consider- able variety in designs and in work, some of which is engraved, some repouaaS, some in plain silver, others in silver-gilt, and others enamelled. One of the more notable seats of the manufacture of bidri ware, already described, is the same city of Lucknow, where it has been an increasing trade for some years. The number of manufacturers engaged in 1881 was 13, and the next year 31. A modified form of bidri work called zarbuland is made at Lucknow, in which the patterns are slightly raised and not set even with the surface, as in the ordinary bidri ware. This is an imitation of many kinds of copper and brass ware — especially those of the Punjab — in which the white silver designs stand out in relief on a red or yellow ground of the copper or brass vessels. The process followed in the manufacture of zarbuland is nearly the same as that of the ordinary bidri, except that, instead of excavating the patterns for the gold or silver plates, the ornamental designs are raised abpve the surface ^d chased.

[OYOUB lontbehigli teth, 1885. foRD ST., W, The Moradabad ware, in which tin is soldered on the brass and incised through to the interior metal in floriated patterns, which sometimes are simply marked by the yellow outlines of the brass, and at others by graving out the whole ground between the scrolls and filling it in with a composition of lacquer, either black or of various colours, has advanced rapidly in popularity during the last few years. A considerable collection of 134 articles is brought together, and will serve to make this artistic and ornamental work still better known. ^ The engraved Benares brass-ware already mentioned, is in like manner illustrated, not only by examples of salvers, shields, &o., but by models of temples and mosques. The Lucknow manufactures of brass, copper, and mixed-metal ware, differ from the Benares ware in that the shapes are more suitable for the Mussulman purchasers than for Hindus. A large copper tray (No. 1206) deserves a special notice. The principal variation in the other exhibits of these wares, is in some cases the copper studding of the Lahitpur ware, and the fluted surface in others, the shapes being generally the same. . Note, however, the curious inkstands of the village accountants (1213-14). The bell-metal ware from MuUipatti, Azamgarh, is known from the proportions of the alloy as san saiais, or one hundred and twenty-seven, and can only be obtained in a few places. The city of Mathura, or Muttra, once a centre of the Buddhist faith, and "converted" by Shah Jehan, who appointed a governor " expressly to stamp out idolatry," is now a great centre of Hindu devotion, and visited annually by large numbers of pilgrims. The surrounding country teems with legends of the divine brqthers, Krishna and Balaram, who dwelt in the neighbouring plain. The brass images of deities, and the brass and silver toys in the shape of horses and peacocks which are shown, are largely manidactured for the benefit of the pilgrims. Amongst the enamelled vessels, the best work is that on specimens preserved from the time of the old native Court, The inlaid work from Mainpuri is of ahisham wood, into which patterns are beaten in brass wire and polished. The designs are either of foliage or geometricaL The same work can be applied with good effect to panelling doors, picture-framing, and other decorative purposes. The different lacquered wares show the style peculiar to each district; but the modes of manu&cture- already described are the same in all. The papier-mache work from Eampur and Mandawar is in both cases an introduction from Kashmir, and the description of it will be more appropriately given under the heading of the Kashmir Court. The wood carving of Nagina, in Bijnor district, has greatly developed of OLD LONDON STREET.

Ebony is the principal material, relieved by silver and mother-o'-pearl mounts in the more elaborate and accordingly more expensive designs. There is nothing characteristic except the mate 'al which is in the Banda exhibits of lapidaries' work. The agates are procured from the bed of the river Ken, and are chiefly used in making articles of European design. ^ Cotton Weaving. — The cotton fabrics in this Court are almost all of the finest sorts manufactured in the North-Western provinces. Notwithstanding the competition of Manchester fabrics, the great cotton-weaving industry of Oudh still holds its ground, although the Jolahdrs, or hand-loom weavers of Lucknow, are reported by Mr. Hoey as finding their trade so diminishing that they are emigrating from the city, or seeking other occupations. The exhibits comprise fine specimens of the muslins of Sikanderabad, turban cloths fringed with gold, handkerchiefs, &o. These are distinguished, not only by their fineness, but by the use of gold thread as a border The woven pattern muslins from Jais, Bae Bareli, are the most famous of the textile manufactures of that place. The weavers have a curious art of interweaving at the time of manufacture any design that may be suggested to them. Verses and sentences are most common, and are suggested by every taste and creed. Some are passages from the Koran, others from the Yedas, and others from Dr. Watts's moral songs and hymns. At Lucknow muslin is still largely manufactured, being preferred for embroidery purposes to English muslin. The woven pattern muslin of Benares rivals in its delicacy the famous product of the Dacca looms, and the Bampur cotton damask, either plain or with borders and coloux-ed thread, or interwoven with gold thread, received a gold medal at the Calcutta Exhibition. Cotton Printing. — Cotton-printing is still a successful calling in Lucknow, notwithstanding they have to compete with Manchester chintzes sold for one shilling a yard, while the native handiwork costs one shilling and eightpence ; but the Lucknow chintzes are far superior in the colour, the Kukrail and Baita rivers being famous for the purity of tints that their waters give to the deep-toned dyes of India. The hand-stamped chintzes of Fatehpur, of which there are four pieces, may be noted as more elaborate in design, and on a larger scale. The patterns and work of the cotton carpets of Bulandshahr, Agra, and Aligarh, are various, and they are of all sizes, the best being used as small prayer carpets for Mussulman devotions. Ewhroidery. — The chikan or hand-worked flower muslin of Lucknow is in great demand in all parts of India.

The pattern ia stamped in a thick solution of red ochre, or a red dye extracted from lac, by a ehhipi or cotton printer, who does no other work. Mr. Hoey says, speaking of the embroidery, that little girls, five or six years of age, may be seen sitting at the doors of houses busily moving their tiny fingers over a piece of tanteh and working flowers, for which they are paid the poor price of a paisa (|(I.) for the 100 flowers. It is by this early beginning that chikan workers attain the great skill they do in embroidery. One piece of 9| yards long, worked in good style with diagonal stripes and flowers, will contain 660 yards of the stripe and 560 flowers. The embroiderer is paid only four rupees for all this work. The 13 pieces of the Benares HnMa&«, or cloth-of-gold brocades, call for no special remarks, but command attention as the most eOeotive of all the fabrics shown. Oold and Silver Lace. — The celebrated gold and silver embroideries and laces of Luoknow are divided into Jcamdani, or muslins hand-embroidered in gold thread, and used for capes, dress pieces, &o. and zardozi, which include velvet and cloth embroidered with gold and silver thread, shawls, caps, laces, (be. This is worked in the same manner as the Delhi karchcb. The gold and silver lace is, however, a separate staple manufacture. In both the embroidery and the lace the gold or silver wire is drawn to that extraordinary fineness which is obtainable all over India, by the patient and skilful wire-drawers, who will produce nearly 800 yards of silver-gilt wiro from a rupee's worth of silver. The thread employed for gold or silver lace is beaten with a hammer into a flattened thread, and the only difference between weaving cotton and weaving gold lace, is that the cadla, or gold or silver thread which makes the woof, is not put in a shuttle, but is passed between the thread of the warp, on a nari or bobbin. Most of the iartioles are for the native market ; but European demand for slippers, and other goods, has given an impetus to the manufacture. From Agi'a embroidered scarves and gold lace in rolls are also shown. OBK, PORT. THE PUNJAB COURT. The Punjab Province, including the territory surrounding Delhi, contains 106,632 square miles, and a population of 18,850,437 souls. There are 34 native states in connection with the Punjab, comprising an area of nearly 36,000 square miles, and 2,000,000 of inhabitants. Both these estimates, drawn from the last Moral and Material Progress Report, are much below the estimate given in the Gazetteer of India. The Screen. — The screen consists of two arcades, each 100 feet in length, closed by four end arcades of three arches, each 12 ft. 6 in. in length.

Jewellery. — The special catalogue states that the selection of gold and silver- smiths' work for personal adornment has been limited by circumstances to purely popular forms. Most of the ornaments in ordinary use in the Punjab will bo found, but there are very few of a costly kind. The great variety of the articles will, however, furnish a good illustration of the universal use of silver orna- ments by all ages and all classes in India. It has t)een well said that the quantity and quality of jewellery worn by women is a sure and safe criterion of the prosperity of the people. It is an investment for savings easily con- vertible in case of need. Enamels. — Enamelled jewellery from Kangra, Multan, and Bahawalpur are good examples of the Punjab branches of silver enamelling. Bahawalpur patterns are chiefly of the conventional flowers in panels, scrolls and geometric diapers and probably are of the same origin as the Multan enamel which Mr. Baden Powell states to have been first made by a jeweller named Naulu, 400 years ago. The colours generally employed are blue, black, yellow, and several shades of orange, brickdust red or pink. The enamels from Kangra and Kulu also are remarkable for the excellency of their blues. None of these, however, equal the Jeypore enamels described in the Bajputana Court. The damascened work or koft, which was formerly extensively practised on the arms and armour made in the chief towns of the Punjab, is now only found in Sialkot and at Gujerat. The articles made are chiefly ornamental small wares for decorative purposes. The art consists in incrustiug or inlaying a wire of ore metal, usually gold or silver, on another in ornamental patterns. Gold and steel are the favourite materials. In the best examples (tar-i-nishan) the pattern is first incised, and the wire is laid in. In the ordinary work of the Punjab, the iron or steel is first roughened all over, and the gilded silver wire is laid on in foliated patterns, and burnished into its place. The ground is afterwards blued by heat. The surface of the iron or steel is sometimes chiselled in patterns in relief. Specimens of this variety are shown from Lahore. Two caskets (642 & 643), from Sialkot and Gujerat, were made to th© order of the Royal Commissioners. Brass, Copper, and Mixed Metal. — Of the brass, copper, and mixed-metal wares, 40 article*' are specimens of the manufacture of brass- ware at Eewari in the Gxirgaon Du .' *., the greater part of which, in accordance with modern^, custom, is tinnet . I'ho urticles shown include hookahs, pandans or betel-nut boxes, water vessels, lamps, bells for carts, cattle, and temples, &c. The graven patterns are minute and comparatively ineffective, and appear to be imitated from the well-known Moradabad wares. The Dera Ghazi Khan lel. 1875 Ch. Latoii Cb. l-alltc Ch.

I 1 i 1; ehaste and ornamental brass wares are considered to be beautiful in both form and workmanship. It is noted that copper engraving on tin is employed by Mahommedans, while brass, tinned or plain, is preferred by the Hindus. This at least is the opinion of Mr. Kipling. The Ludiana locks in the form of animals, and with a European lover action, are curious. Two sets of wares for Hindu worship are shown from Gurgaon and Sialkot. A set comprises a tashla^ or dish in which idols receive ablutions ; the arha, a vessel of symbolic shape ; a Bingasan, or stand for idols ; the arti, or sacrificial lamp ; the bell ; the charmanti, or spoon ; and the hauli, or vessel for mixing sandal-wood paste. The prevalence of Mahommedanism has prevented any development of figure casting in the countries known collectively as the JTanjab. The idols of Amritsar are primitive and poor in design, and it is stated, on the authority of M^. Kipling, ths,t the upper classes of Hindus care very little for idols of any kind, and the preferences of the lower classes are for the more monstrous personages of their mythology. The Golden Temple. — This brief allusion to religious differences as influencing art may serve +o call attention to the Amritsar door in beaten copper-work, which is in the style of some of the beaten silver doors at the golden temple of the Darbar Sahib of the Sikhs. The upper part of the temple itself is sheathed in beaten work of copper richly gilded, whence it derives its name. The model of this holiest shrine of the Sikh religion, which, like Mahommedanism, excludes all iconic forms, or what are commonly termed idols, from its worship, has been made by Sikh carpenters. The only object, if it may be so called, of worship in this golden temple, is the Adi Grauth or holy scriptures of the Sikhs. In this temple, as in all others, a copy of the holy book is exposed to the venera- tion of the pilgrims on an ottoman, and it is ceremonially covered with magnificent kinkhabs and silk wrappers, while an attendant sits by waving a chauri. Arms. — Among the arms and armour, the more notable are the matchlocks made at Kohat, and the sword-belt with its numerous appendages from Dora Ghazi Khan, which is an exceptionally good example of the taste and skill which, amongst the warlike population of the frontier, are often lavished on wiir trappings. At Sialkot chain-mail suits and Char Aina, or four plate suits of armour, are still made for the retinues of some native chiefs, and for sale to Europeans. Gujeranwala has a reputation for offensive armb as well as for more innocent cutlery, for which Kizamabad is especially known. The finish and polish of the articles, though not perfect, is better than the quality of the steel, which, although tough, is deficient in hardness, and often hardly to be distinguished from good iron. Old files of English manufacture are, however, sometimes forged into daggers and knives of good quality, but the country iron NOTICE TO VISITORS.

By an ingenious process of etching, the wavy lines called jauhar, the Persian smith's work so much prized on old blades, are imitated. A ground of fine lime mixed with mucilage is laid over the blade, and when nearly set the artificer dextrously removes the line with his thumb in fine lines which have a certain resemblance to the lines of welded and twisted steel. Sulphate of iron is then applied, to bite in these lines. No expert, however, can be taken in by these marks, as close examination shows the grain of the thumb. A ru<^e form of penknife, with immovable blade, a tumed-up point and wooden handle, is said to be the only article of Nizamabad cutlery which has a large local sale. Carved Chair. — ^Under the heading " Carved Furniture and Carpentry," is a curious chair contributed by the Municipality of Lahore, which is a relic of the period of the Sikh rule, and belonged to Gen. Ilahi Baksh, who commanded the Khalsa artillery. The ivory inlay of Hushiarpur is well represented by cabinets, chairs, tables, &o. &c., made of shisham wood inlaid with ivory. This industry is of recent growth, owing much of its present character to the exertions of Mr. W. Coldstream, C.S. Wood inlay is understood to a limited extent by most of the more skilful mistris, or carpenters, of the Punjab, who employ box and other white woods upon shisham, or the latter upon the yellow deodar. Boxwood inlaid in shisham is the main feature of three tables from Lahore and Amritsar. Brass inlay is practised in Hushiarpur, but the best work comes from Chiniot. Lac rttmery. — The examples of lac turnery come from many places in the Punjab ; it is applied not only to ornamental wares, but to necessary domestic articles, such as legs of bedsteatls, stools, and tables, &c. Native house furniture is exceedingly simple, being limited usually to a bedstead, one or two low stools, a spinning-wheel, and a few boxes. A part of each marriage outfit in the Punjab is a charpoy, and a quaint, higL-backed stool of turned wood, ornamented with lac. Very little painting on wood is now doae, and the lac surface, obtained by pressing what is virtually a stick of coloured sealing-wax on an object revolving in the luthe, is a harder and more solid covering than any paint. The heat developed by friction melts the lac ; further friction with the dry stem of a palm leaf, held endwise, and a final application of an oiled rag of muslin, polish a coat of colour which resists dust, the great heat of the hot weather, and the dam^j of vho rains. But there are many refinements in this most simple art. In Sindh and in the Punjab, layer upon layer of coloured lac are laid. Then, with a stylus, these coats are ticratohud through in a manner analogous tu Italian sgraffito decoration. Sup- posing red to have been first laid, then green, and lastly black : the black is Hcratched through for green leaves, the green and black for a red flower, and for a white line all are cut through to the wood.

The wood used is generally Shisham (DaJbergia aisgu)^ but the tamarisk, acacia, and other non-resinous woods are also employed. The workmen have recently discovered that aniline colours can be used, and in consequence the Dera Ismail Khan work has lost the sobriety of dark red, black, yellow, and silver which used to distinguish it. Pottery. — Of the Punjab glazed pottery, Delhi contributes 106 specimens of the modem manufacture, which show that it is quite possible to make a kind of porcelain with the materials to be procured in the neighbourhood. The paste or body is artificially composed of powdered stone, held together for moulding with masala or gum. It cannot, therefore, be easily worked on the wheel, but is pressed in moulds. The old mosques and tombs in the Punjab, as well as in Sindh, exhibit beautiful decoration of mosaic and glazed pottery, and tiles of faience. This art, known as Ttaai, is still in existence. The specimens of Jalandhar, Lahore, and Multan ware contain many reproductions of the decora- tive tiles, but the original mosaic, in which each leaf and stem was a separate piece, is only represented pictorially. Except for hookahs and mrahia there is no place in native life for vessels of glazed pottery. One exception to this is shown from Peshawar, where dishes, the chief of which is the tahah, a large circular dish of Persian origin, are used for eating from. Textiles. — Among the textile contributors from the Punjab, the exquisite cotton prints made by AUayar of Kot Kamalia, and chosen under the directions of Mr. Purdon Clarke for the Royal CommisMoners, form part of the decorations of the vestibule. Colour-printing on cotton cloth is practised in most towns and villages of the province, and is fully represented among the exhibits. The patterns, with one or two insignificant exceptions, are large and coarse, probably because the material usually preferred for a quilt, the decoration of which is the staple of the cotton-printer's trade, is the stout and rough home- spun known as Khadar. The dyes used hitherto are simple, being mostly indigo, madder, pomegranate rind, turmeric, saflBower, catechu, the sulphates of iron and copper, and acacia pods, used with tamarisk galls, alum, and vegetable acids. The blocks are of wood, and are cut by ordinary carpenters as a rule. Some of these prints are suitable for wall hangings especially, because of the boldness of the patterns which repeat t'ae motives of Mahommedan wall decorations. Cotton. —Cotton printers form a caste known as chhimba or chipi, distinct from the dyers (rangrez), At the last census 10,199 men and 1,105 women were returned as cotton printers in the Punjab, but probably some of these are only washer-men. Aniline colours are liked by natives, and are only kept out JOHN GLEN, ADVERTISEMENT AGENT. .Vtf jIgeMt to tht Contractors {W/LLIAM C LOVES &> SoNS, Limited) for the Advertisements in this Catalogue and the other Official Publications oj the Colonial and Indian Exhibition.

The average price of cotton print on native cloth in three or four colours is about ton annas per square yard. Another form of printing is tinsel printing in foils of gold or silver, which is exclusively practised on cloths worn at weddings. Sometimes colour is used together with a foil a white cloths. Beal gold and silver leaf is in some patterns from Delhi, ; .nd fi ' ' Bohtak. The Bohtak foil prints are exceptionally durable — some- times it is true gold which lasts for many years. Of the process of knot-dyeing, a description has been previously given under the Bombay Court. The c}%iva»^ from Delhi, are examples of one of the most elaborate forms, stripes in various (X>lours being produced on narrow widths of muslin for turban pieces. The painted Afridi lac cloths from Peshawar are only misnamed cotton cloth decorated with linseed-oil painting, which is not peculiar to the Punjab frontier, but is practised at Ahmedabad, and Morvi in Bombay. At Nasik the pattern is produced by a perforated stamp at the end of a tube full of colour. The Peshawar is all traced with a stick, no stamps or tubes being used. The work is more durable than might be expected, and some specimens from Bannu are fine in colour, but much of the Peshawar work is very poor. Among the other cotton cloths are examples of Mea, a stout fabric woven in coloured checkered patterns, the peculiar quality of striped cloth known as »«««, the fine long cloth called gaii^ and the Bohtak muslin. The Provincial Jails sent' Hp-M-i aens of their manufacture in the form of cotton durriea, used for floor coveriagij. Woollen Fahrica. — The variety of woollen fabrics in a province which possesses a northern frontier of hill territory, with severe and long winters, and bordering upon Cabul and Kashmir, is necessarily considerable. The fabrics made of sheep's wool are few in number, except in the Hill Districts, where the dress of the people consists almost wholly of wool. In the plains, every one who can afford it defends himself from the cold by thicknesses of cotton cloth, and coats or quilts padded with cotton wool, and ihe kamhhals, or blankets, are used only by the poorer classes. From the plains come the coarse and hard blanketing, a finer kind of woollen wrapper called lots, and a coarse cloth, or patu, of which specimens are shown. The series of fine woollen goods, contributed by three of the most extensive shawl merchants of the province, fully displays the present state of the manufacture of the finer wools ; both the real pashmina, or wool of the Thibetan shawl-goat, and the wool from which the well-known rampore ckudder is made, and the kermani wool, which latter is called nakli pashtmna, or imitation pashm. The Mahaiajah of Kashmir holds a strict monopoly of all tlie finest class of wool that goes from the frontier districts of Turfan and Ktxshar ; but many of the shawls sent from Amritsar, Ludiana, and other places, are of exceptional fineness, and the plain shawls from Amritsar are amongst the finest now made. Silks. — The silk weaving of the Punjab is still carried on, but the wider widths and finer qualities formerly produced have passed away with the Sikh sirdars. The gulbardan, or striped green and crimson, lilac and scarlet, yellow and crimson being the finest combinations, and the darya plain silk, of which yellowish-green and cochineal crimson are the favourite tintn, are still in demand. Lustre is not considered iiidispouBable in the silk fabrics, many of which are intended tx) 56 The Empire of India. wash. The bridal dresses, both Hindu and Mahommedan, from Batala, show one of the inistio uses of the local manufacture. The Bahawalpur silks are generally striped, and frequently interwoven with gold thread. The present examples, although not lustrous, have good substance, and seem well adapted for curtains and the finer class of hangings. H.H. the Nawab of Bahawalpur has sent this exhibit. From Multan come specimens of the mixed silk and cotton fabrics which have been before mentioned as only permissible to strict Mussulmans. The small silk wares, made by the handicraftsmen called patoli, include important parts of native dress, such as izarhand, a netted silk girdle used by both sexes ; the paranda, a long silk tasseled tail, which is plaited into a maiden's hair ; the aezhands, or cords and tassels used to secure the coverlet to the oharpoy, or bed frame, and many other kinds of silk ornaments. Embroidery. — ^In embroidery, PAu2lart, literally flower-work, is the name applied to the embroidery wrought by peasant women on the ohmi or sheet which forms the most important part of their dress. Originally only three colours of cotton cloth were used. Red, from madder, purple from a combination of madder with indigo and black or blue-black, which is produced by catechu and indigo. The colours of the silk are green, two shades of yellow crimson, white, black, and dark green, and the cloth used for the purpose was almost invariably the homespun Khadar, a coarse fabric, the rough texture of which, however, is admirably suited to give depth and solidity of colour when dyed. The Phulhari stitch is really a darning stitch, and the best patterns were us\ially those elementary combinations of the square and triangle which seem to come naturally when darning a fabric, the threads of which can be easily counted. In some districts pieces of thin glass, quicksilvered, are inserted, being held in place by a sort of button-hole stitch. Of the well known Delhi embroidery, thirty-seven examples are exhibited by Messrs. Manna Shan, and display the most notable varieties of modern work. Besides these, there is the dress of a Delhi dancing-girl and a bridegroom's dress. The most costly embroidery is worked with silver-gilt, or silver wire, drawn out into the fineness of thread ; but the bulk of gold embroidery is done with kaldbdtun, or common gold thread — a body of silk over wound with a thin flattened wire of gold or silver. There are two principal kinds of gold embroidery — one solid and rich, called Mr-choh, applied usually to velvet or cloth for occasions of State, elephan* trappings, saddle cloths, maenads and carpets spread out before royal scats. It is so named because the material, whether velvet or cloth, is in the first instance stretched smooth and tied on a wooden frame ; but the art of embroidery in this style meets now with little demand. The second kind of embroidery called Mr-chikan, is done in one operation with a needle charged with gold thread, the pattern being usually drawn on paper, pricked out with a pin, and the paper being stretched over the cloth to be embroidered, yellow colour is put on over the lines of pin-holes, and mark yellow the cloth beneath. In other cases the pattern is lightly stamped by means of a wooden block.

A series of examples from nine districts of the Punjab displays the shoes in general use, and is followed by a similar collection of the sandal or chapli, worn in Northern India, varying in form ; none of the varieties resemble the classic shape, with a separate stall for the big toe, worn in Bombay. In parts of the Himalaya and Kashmir, an elaborately-laced sandal encloses a sock in soft deerskin, and forms one of the most comfortable foot-coverings known. The Peshawar sandal is generally embrQidered with silk, and specimens of this kind of unusual excellence are shown from Dera Gbazi Khan. From Bannu, another frontier district, pretty gold-embroidered buskins in soft red leather are shown. The resemblance of many of these to the sandals on the feet of antique statues need scarcely be pointed out. KASHMIR COURT. The State of Kashmir extends from the Plain of the Punjab across the central range of the Himalaya towards Chinese Tartary and Tibet. The valley of Kashmir forms but a small portion of the whole area, which is estimated at 801,000 square miles, with about a million and a half inhabitants. The Maharaja presents annually, by way of tribute to his Suzerain, 1 horse, 12 goats, and 3 pairs of the celebrated Kashmir shawls. Screen, — " The screen for the Kashmir and Frontier States' Court," writes Sir Oliver St. John, Resident in Kashmir, " is copied from the verandah of an old wooden mosque near Chakoti, on the Kashmir Murree Road, to which the attention of travellers is invited in Ince's handbook. The date of its erection was not, as far as I cuuld find, anywhere marked on the building, but tradition and the character of the carving seem to point to the earlier part of the last century. The pillars, brackets, and architrave beam of the screen are almost an exact copy of the original both in design and proportion. The side bays, 6 ft. 3 in. each, are identical, and the front bays differ only in that the original arches, each 6 ft. 2^ in. span, have become pillars 10 feet apart surmounted by brackets. The railing at the top ia pinjra work, such as is commonly made and used throughout Kashmir at thf~ present day. The material is deodar wood." Carving. — Besides the screen, examples are shown of the carved wood-work of Kashmir as ap^»licable to ceilings. These are executed in chil wood (Pinus excehd). The Kashmir jjopter mdche, or painted wood-work is, owing to the nvimber of English offijers on furlough, and tourists who visit the country, well known in English houaes. The work goes by the name of kur-i-Jcalam-ddni or pen-case work, and is also called kdr-l-munakani* or paint 3d ware. It is done on articles of either smooth wood ur papier-mache by pulping coarse native paper, and moulding the softened materiai. to the required shape. The article is covered with a coating of white paint, on t Lrt; surface of which a delicate pattern in colours, chiefly crimson, grtrt«, and blue, is drawn -rith a fine brush. Flowers and the coarser designs seen upon shawls are ruost conaraonly produced. A very pretty pattern is also done by painting with gold paint a spreading series of minute branches and leaves upoi. 4t white ground, — a Iwrder of brighter colourioig \^ W, 68 The Empire of India. is added, and sometimes figures of men and animals are introduced. The surface is varnished over with a varnish made by boiling the clearest copal in pure turpentine. Ten carved and painted plaques illustrate the method of decorating ceilings with this work. The well-known Kashmir silver-gilt plate is illustrated by a good collection, including specimens of the latest style. Of thiti. Sir George Birdwood remarks that it was almost confined to the production of the water vessels copied from the clay models in use in the northern parts of the Punjab. Ho also notices that the ruddy gold is peculiar to Kashmir, not being found any- where else in India until Burma is reached. The set exhibited, however, mainly consists of articlew designed for European use, and shows specimens of the modem style. The price of good work is stated to be 37^ per cent, added to the price of the silver. Of the silver plate, the cost of the work is 25 per cent, additional. This art is said to have been imported by the Mongols, but the natural superiority of the people of the Kashmir Valley in elaborating designs, whether in metal- work or enamelling or weaving, has brought the Kashmir goldsmith's art to its perfection. In the brass, copper, and mixed metal, the embossed and pierced brass-work is described as new, and the Kashmiri workman dislikes doing it from the hardness of the brass as' compared with copper. The engraved and lacquered brass-work is entirely different in style and colouring from any Indian work. The copper work shown is made iu immense quantities for sale to visitors. The people themselves never use it untinned, as has been already noticed of the Mussulman population in the Punjab. The ordinary household metal-work is not equal to the best Persian, but surpasses that of Afghanistan or Turkestan. Within the last fifteen years gilding and enamelling copper has been introduced. An example of the copper enamelled before gilding is shown in No. 227. The lai^e vase (No. 201) is, writes Sdr Oliver St. John, the Resident in Kashmir, " one uf the largest and best pieces of work and design that I have seen in Kashmir." Originally, dark and light blue only were used, and the designs were comparatively simple ; but latterly pink, green, yellow, and white have been added, and the patterns elaborated and multiplied on each piece. A number of articles in silver-enamel are alBc> shown. A chair carved in walnut- wood exemplifies the orders occasionally given to native workmen for chairs made after European models in oarved walnut, as excellent walnut- wood abounds in Kashmir. Textiles. — Of the cotton fabrics the hundred beautiful specimens of the Sambar chintzes have been referred to as decorating the vestibule. These were specially executed according to the designs and directions of Mr. Purdon Clarke. These chintzes are made at Sambar, a small town at the fot>t of the hills some 30 miles south of Jummoo. The demand for them has recently been so great that the Kaghmir Government has practically made a monopoly of them, and the price has beem raised from 9 or 10 to 14 rupees. If the Kashmir chintzes, with exquisite patterns and colours, have .advanced a& demand and price, the opposite may be said of the once precious Kashmir siuiwlij. This manttfiicture, it is stated, which formerly brought half a million a VBax into Kashmir, is uuw well nigh m^^^ibund. Unless means are taken by the Govern extinot of sha^^ fallen t Us.

The warehouses of London and Paris are full of shawls whioh find no purchasers, and the value in Kashmir has consequently fallen to a third of what it was ten years ago. The shawl (No. 31) now marked Rs. 300 would, in former days, have cost Es. 800 to Rs. 1000. The specimens Nos. 1 to 4 are from tlio Mahari\)a's toaha-khana or storehouse, and are of the finest quality, unattainublo nowadays. Specimens of shawl stuff are exhibited, woven from the uubloaohod and undyed pashmina, or under- wool of the shawl-goat. The mode of procuring it is thus described: "At, the commencement of summer tho animal is shorn with a knife in the direction of the growth of the hair, that is, from head to tail. When this is done the wool is combed down in the reverse dirootiou. This separates almost entirely the upper hair from the wool underaeath. The hair is soft, and is wrought up into coarse fabrics." One specimen of paehmina exhibited is woven of the true pashm of the ibex, whioh is very imx) and most highly valued as making the lightest, warmest, and strongest oloth. CENTRAL PROVINCES COURT. Tho Central Provinces, of whioh Nagpur is the headquarters, cover an area of a little under 85,000 square miles of hills, valleys, and plateaux. There are 15 Native States, with nearly 29,000 square miles, and a total population of over 1,700,000. Screene, — Tho soi'oons, which form three sides of each of the Central Provinces Courts, are tho handiwork of native carpenters at Nagpur, and are very fair specimens of tl»o wood-carving which is very characteribtic of the Central Provinces. Tho art of carving in wood, and to a less degree in stone, is perhaps tho only one in which these Provinces can hold their own against other Provinces in India. It is no uncommon thing to find, even in small villages, houses with oaivod teak fronts of considerable beauty, and in several towns thei-e art) streets with carved wooden frontages displaying very considerable taste and skill, t^vrvod wood plays an important part in Nagpur architecture, and the Maratha pt^laws in tho vicinity of the "My are distinguished by their high verandaliH of black teak often very elaborately carved. Jewellery, — Two gold necklets from Sambalpur are described as of rough execution, but iutoi'esting as the handiwork of one of the districts in India most remote from road or railway communication. The Sambalpur District is 220 miles distant from tl»e noaivst railway station. The necklets are, so far as is known, the only jewellery umdo in these Provinces that has any dittinctive charac- teristic. They aiv largely worn by Brahmin youths, and considered to possess the virtue of an amnlet, recalling once again the stories of the chandan hare whioh wore nooessary to tho life of the wearers. Textile Fahrice. — Tho pivscnt condition of the trade is thus illustrated in the report sent together with tho cotton fabrics exhibited. The weaving of fine cotton oloth is the most characteristic manufacture of the Nagpur, Bhandara and Ohauda districts ; the cloths of Umrer (in Nagpur) and Pauni (in Bhandara) Iteing considered especially good. Tho art of spinning thi-ead of great fineness is one for whiuh these districts have long been well j I 60 The Empire 0/ India. I m known. The importation of English yam, and the competition of the maohine-made yam of the Nagpur Cotton Mills, are reported to have resulted in a great decline in the art of hand-spinning. The wea'i'ing industry has not suffered so greatly from thia competition, partly because of the intrinsic excellence of the goods manufactured, and partly because of the prejudice in favour of wearing them which exists amongst the better class of Marathas. The greater part of the woven goods turned out consists of turbans and dhotia, which are distin- guished by bearing a border of (generally) dark red silk, on the breadth of which the value of the fabric in great measure depends. These borders are often woven in intricate patterns of different shades of colour ; but the manufacture has fallen off under the competition of English-made goods; and it is now not uncommon to attach a locally made silk border to cotton cloths imported from Bombay. The Deputy-Commissioner of Bhandara writes that the cotton- weaving industry has declined very considerably during the past ten years. Not only is the number of articles now turned out much less than formerly, but the value of the goods is very much lower. Pauni used to be especially famous for the finely-woven, broad-bordered and richly-ornamented turbans and dhotia which it produced. Bhandara, too, used to produce a plentiful sapply of turbans and waist-cloths of considerable value. Quantity and quality have now fallen off at both places. The opening of railway communicalion with Bombay has there fore had the same ill effect on local weaving as on brass-working, and has greatly harmed the two principal indigenous handicrafts of the Provinces. It is fair, however, to add that it is only the production of fine cotton cloth which appears to have suffered, and that the weaving of the coarse cotton stuffs worn by the agricultural classes seems to have greatly increased in some places. Silk. — Taaaar silk-weaving is carried on at a number of places in Sambalpur district, of which Barr.ali is the chief. Cloth of good quality is also made in the town of Bilaspur, at which a colony of Taaaar weavers was settled some years ago by Mr. Chisholm, when Deputy-Commissiont. of this district. The material is very largely used in Chhattisgarh for dhotia and coats, taking the place which is occupied by Umrer and Pauni fabrics in Nagpur. At Burhanpur the most important silk-weaving of the provinces is still carried on. It is specially noted for its aaria, which are commonly woven of silk and cotton mixed. They are made up in a large variety of patterns and colours, the best of which are represented by specimens in the present collection. The gold and silver embroidery manufactured at Burhanpur is said to show no signs of declining, notwithstanding that the city itself is by no means in its formerly prosperous condition, but the gold-wrought cotton tissues and brocaded silks are still, as will be seen from the examples shown, keeping up the ancient reputation that they earned when it was the seat of the Mahommedan Government.

It is best represented in the Tea Court. The Screen. — The Assam ornamental screen is composed almost entirely of bamboo and cane, but a kind of mat locally known as eital patti and some native silk cloths have been also used in its manufactuie. There are really two screens, one for each side of the Court. These differ from each other only in pattern, the main idea being exactly the same in each. This consists of a sentry box at one end occupying two feet of the length. The remaining sweep of 18 feet is divided into two by a bamboo pillar resting in a socket of lacquered wood, which also forms a seat. The whole length of the screen (20 feet) is covered by a board 20 feet long, 2^ feet wide, and 10^ feet from the ground. The under-surface of this board is covered with the best sital-paUi matting. The workmanship is so fine that twenty-three strips of the patti go to one inch. Below the board, and at right angles to it along the central line, is a series of six panels, separated from each other by bamboo bars and •uolosed in bamboo frames. Each half of the space of eighteen feet contains two small and one large panel. The panels all differ in design, and consist of intricate figures worked out by native artists and formed in very fine cane. Along the two edges of the long boards runs a fringe of hanging cane-work, six inches deep, worked out like the panels, but in different designs. The board is partially supported by brackets also of cane- work. As will be seen from the screen, decorative art in Assam, as applied to construction, cannot be said to exist. Jewellery. — Several interesting collections of jewellery will claim admiration of those who examine them. First is the Barpeta jewellery, a peculiarly fine species of gold filigree which is made at Barpeta in the Kamrup district. The articles are chiefly bracelets and necklaces — the latter being especially beaT''tiful. The gold is sometimes imported direct from Calcutta, but is often obtained from Mahommedan coins brought (to save weight) instead of rupees, by the elephant traders of Bangpur and Pumea. Secondly, the best-known articles of the Khasi HiUs jewellery, are the coral and gold necklaces, largely worn by the more wealthy of the Khasi women. These necklaces consist of alternate beads (about the size of small marbles) of coral and gold, held together by a thread passing through a hole in the centre of each. The coral is real and comes up from Calcutta. The gold beads are shells of gold filled iip with lac. The value of a necklace varies from Ks. 50 to 200, and a good specimen would, therefore, have been too expensive to be included amongst the exhibits. The scallop-shoU ear-ring and gold collaret are peculiar to these hills. Thirdly, the Manipur jewellery is made in the Hill State of that name, gold and silver articles being largely manufactured for the native trade at Manipur. The gold used is always pure, but a large number of the articles consist half of gold and half of silver. Last, come the Jorhat ear-rings enamelled on gold. The colours are blue, green, and white, and the effect is strikingly beautiful. The ornaments produced are lockets, ear-rings, bracelets, and necklaces. The sale is not extensive, and is only confined to natives. The ornaments are often eet with precious stones. Brass, Copper, d:e. — Amongst the bruHS, copper, and mixed metal wares, there are Naga Hills brass bracelets, and vessels generally iwade all over the provipice, 62 The Empire of India. borka thep the p^ fact t Bi ledgei- of thi materi are mi weath( The material used is either brass, or bell-metal composed of brass and copper, which is melted and cast in moulds. Brass vessels are made from sheet brass, which is out and beaten into the required shape. This manufacture is almost confined to Moriou, a Mahommedan caste found all over Assam. The peculiar weapons of the several tribes from the Bhutias, Nagas and Eukis do not seem to include any blades such as are forged by the Khamptis, and are of exceptional toughness and keenness. The former native Court and prosperity of Assam, which was destroyed by the Burmese invaders, is represented by a few carvers in ivory who still remain at Jorhat, being descendants of those who worked for the Assam kings ; but the handicraft appears to be dying out, as there is next to no demand for the articles produced. These are mainly spoons and forks, combs, and sometimes chessmen. The favourite patterns represent a crane in the act of preening, and a crocodile with a fish in its mouth. Included in wood -carving aro several models, such as a tiger-trap from Nowgong ; a dug-out, which represents the ordinary vehicle of communication in the province during the rains from May to October; and a palanquin. Lakhimpur sends a model of an Assamese homestead, the exact representation of the appearance of things on the premises of an ordinary Assamese cultivator. A single family usually occupies one of these homesteads, which is separated from the next by a few fields. Two families never occupy the same premises, unless closely related by blood. The ingenuity of the Manipuris, who are the Japanese of this part of India, is shown in nineteen models of Manipur wood- work. Textile Fabrics. — The textile fabrics are represented by groups. (1.) Goal para cloths. Fabrics made of cotton are common all over the province, and their manufacture is as widely distributed as their use. English yam is said to be rapidly taking the place of homespun thread, except when coarse and particularly durable cloths are required; but the former is largely used fa domestic purposes, and the spinning-wheel and the loom are to be found almost every Assamese hoiisohold.

The eri cloth is commonly worn by the peasantry, and the muga cloth by the upper classes, and it is a noticeable fact that women of respectability rarely engage in the manufacture of eri cloth. Ba$ket Work. — The Assam Valley basket-work is very varied, and a know- ledge of the art is universal. The Sylhet sital-patti mats are the finest specimens of this manufacture. The work is exceedingly tedious and expensive. The material is a kind of reed, called in Bengali murta. The coarser kinds of mats are universally used for sitting and sleeping on, especially during tho hot weather. The word sital means cool. BURMA COURT. British Burma, before the recent annexation, contained a population ©f 3,736,771, occupying 87,220 square mileH, and comprising the sea coast pro- vinces of Arakan, Tenasserim, and Tavvy, and Pegu, the lower valley of the Irawadi. The distinction of British Burma exists no longer, but the Burma Court cannot show exhibits from the former kingdom. The screen of the Burma Court is made of carved teak with kalaga Tor cloth hanging) panels. The upper part resembles the carving placed round the eaves and gables of Burmese monasteries, palaces, and shrines. The small flame-like pinnacles perhaps point back to a former fire-worship era. The frame-work just below is an example of the ordinary wood-carving of the country, and the halagas (or applique work) which are placed as panels, are part of the hangings used as screens, roofings, or backgrounds at open-air festivals or in-door feasts. The pillars are ornamented in red and gold in a manner common in shrines and monasteries. The workmanship is purposely that met with on objects com- monly made in Burma. The screens of the Burmese Court strike the spectator, not necessarily by the excellence of the carving, for that is elsewhere rivalled, but by the distinc- tive character of the complicated design, with the feeling that he has passed from India proper into a country where the religion, the manners and customs, and consequently the arts of tho people, diflfer from any already examined, and this feeling will bo confirmed as the exhibits which fill the Court of tho pro- sperous proviuoo of British Burma are examined. The words British Burma are for the present used advisedly, for although the distinction between it and Upper Burma exists no longer, and although the prevalent character of Burmese art-work is the same from Mandalay to Bhamo as from Rangoon to Mandalay, yet still all the exhibits belong to the Lower Burma or to the sea- side provinces mentioned above. The only architectural carving exemplified is in wood, and the ordinary carver is a proficient at either foliage or figure work. In addition to this the Rangoon models of men, women, and carts, are examples of the work of the best carvers, but the most characteristic work, both of foliage and figures, is to be found at Buddhist monasteries, where the sacred seven-roofed spire, supported on vermilion and gold-plated pillars, rises above a placid figure of Gautama : each line of eaves and gable is adorned with a many-pinnacled piece of carving rising up at the corners over the head of a guardian angel. ■•!« IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 1.1 no ^^ wUM us lU u lAO M lim^i^ < 6" > HiotogFEiphic Sciences Corpofation 4^ \ <^' ^^^>/^ ^^.v^ 23 WIST MAIN STRUT WIMTM.N.Y. MSM (716) •73-4S03 64 The Empire of India. IN A ouriouB and intricate effect is obtained by Burmese workmen for da handles and table ornaments. The outside of the specimen is carved with foliage and flowers through the interstices of which the inside is hollowed out nearly to the centre, where a figure is carved in situ. The figure looks as if it had been carved separately and inserted into a flowery bower ; but closer examination shows that this is not the case, and the men may at any time be seen carving the figure through the opening of the tracery. A fine collection of gold and silver ware from Bangoon, and also from the Shan States, exemplifies the well-known and highly-esteemed silver-work of Burma. Whether it is hammered, embossed, chased, carved, or cut into upon tracery, it is all made in exactly the same way. It can be applied to any shape, and European patterns are often covered with the Burmese work ; but the native demand is entirely for articles of simple shape, such as large round bowls without cover or legs, betel-boxes, small oval lime-boxes, and such like. The examples of jewellery are chiefly of filigree, with which are associated small pieces of solid gold, either beaten out into the petals of a leaf, or cut like a diamond to form the flashing centre of a rosette or a sparkling pendant. In this case the burnished gold retains its proper colour, but in all others it is dyed red with tamarind juice, a barbaric custom to which the Burmese tenaciously cling. The reason given is that no other metal but gold will assume this particular ruddy colour when treated with tamarind juice ; it may in fact be regarded as the Hall mark of Burmese jewellery. The goldsmiths show great skill and, what is rarer amongst the Burmese, great patience and industry in making their filigree work. For they have first to draw the wire from solid gold, and they then laboriously construct the delicate pieces of which the work is finally formed. The dalizan is perhaps the prettiest of all, and in silver it is sought after by Europeans. It is composed of a collar j,bout half-an-inch high, from which hang rows of peacocks, rosettes, crescents, &c., linked together and gradually narrowing towards the lower edge. Ornaments for the hair axd of two kinds : those made of sprays of leaves and those made by attaching conventional oma- ments to a curved bar by spiral springs. In both kinds a peacock or pheasant is introduced in the centre. Coloured pieces of glass aLu sometimes precious stones are set in the leaves, and the whole piece vibrates with every movement of the head. Chains and round necklaces are formed by plaiting fla*. pieces of gold in various ways, and soldering on to the faces small knobs and grains. This kind of work is perhaps the best in design and finish of any made by ' Burmese goldsmiths. Specimens of silver niello are also shown. Many of the silversmiths are proficient in this art. The articles made are cups, lime-boxoa. plates, knife-handles, and are all quite smooth with a polish. The black enamel used is made of two parts of lead, one part silver, and one part copper, and sulphur is added while the materials are melting. The only important manufactures in brass are the castings of images of Gautama, bells and gongs, which are in perpetual request for religious purposes, and to provide which for a Buddhist Monastery or pagoJa is a work of merit, which goes to the spiritual credit of the offerer. The lacquered ware used in British Burma is of two kinds — (i.) That in which the article is made of basket-work lacquered over : (ii.)

With regard to shape alone, a distinction might be drawn between things used in ordinary life and those which are dedicated to the service of the monastery. All the lacquerware made on a basket-work form comes from Upper Burma, where it is a very important trade. In British Burma the trade is confined to the production of wooden articles lac- quered over, such as the large round platter with a raised edge, in which the family dinner is served round, and square boxes and bowla. Another set of artists produce richly gilt boxes used in the monasteries for holding palm- leaf manuscripts, the bowls vdth a pagoda-shaped cover used for carrying food to monasteries and pagodas and shrines on which to place images of Gaudama. The coffers referred to appear as if covered with pictures drawn in black on a gold ground, and the effect is so good that a small demand for tables, panels, and bowls of t'ae same work has sprung up. Textilea. — Throughout Burma weaving is carried on, though not so much in the large towns as in the country. The cloths woven are chiefly cotton for home use, and putsos, cloths worn by men, which are from fifteen to eight yards long, and varying in width from three-quarters of a yard to 3j^ feet ; or tameina, worn by women, a sheet of two portions sewn together, about 4 j^ feet long and about 5^ feet broad. Besides these, thindainga or coverlets and munga or thick sheets are woven. The following description of the Burmese dross of both sexes is taken from the valuable work of the late Mr. Forbes : " The patterns are either plain variegated stripes, checks, and plaids, or in the most fashionable and expen- sive a series of zig-zag lines of varying breadth and colours, with sometimes a leaf-like pattern between. These last, from the intricacy of the pattern and the number of the shuttles employed for the different coloured threads, require great skill and a large amount of labour. In some of the best cloths one hundred shuttles are used, and cloths are distinguished on this account as fifty-shuttle, eighty-shuttle, hundred-shuttle putsoet. The prices of cloths of the best manu- facture, as above described, run up to 200 rupees (£20), or even more. The piece is fashioned for wear by cutting the length of the web in half, and then stitching the lengths together, so as to form a double width. One end is closed so as to make a kind of wallet. The |>u/le of much »rvals with itation of a shape of a ig the long The Hindu Donstructioii panels filled of Hindu livided into ivided into which the SO is filled with pierced foliage, generally in representation of the tree of life, and in the spandrel between the niches, a cobra with distended hood is coiled up. The variety of the patterns on the screen and the treatment of animal forms will give a good idea of the facility for ornamental design possessed by most oriental handicraftsmen. The screen is constructed of Burma teak by a Madras car- penter, Bamalingam Asari. The general design was prepared by the Superin- tendent of the Madras School of Arts and executed under his direction by about twenty Madras carvers, the smaller details being designed by Minakshi Asari, a carver from Bamnad, in the Madura District. The difficulty of getting a sufficient number of carvers in Madras city, and the short time allowed for the work prevented the design being carried out in its entirety. The most interesting of the exhibits sent from the Madras Presidency are described by Colonel Hawkes, the President of the Madras Committee, as " old native jewellery, brass and copper utensUs, wood carvings, cotton and silk fabrics, hand-printed fabrics and embroideries." We miss examples, however, of the superbly rich gold and silver plate from the Presidency, only three exhibits being classed under this head, two of which are a candlestick and a hta in solid silver, made in the Madras School of Art. Besides these, a spoon of solid silver, and two chased silver muffineers (!) are specified, but the collections of old jewellery — which, as we are told, it is being daily melted up and forged into new and inferior patterns ; so that on no future occasion is the collection now sent likely to be equalled — must be viewed with a melancholy curiosity. It consists of several portions, which may be considered as separate collections. The mythological or stBamy jewellery, and that more especially wrought for the uHe of Mussulman families, and the well known exquisite gold jewellery of Trichi- nopoly, are all represented. The old native jewellery from Madura contains several examples of the curious gold ear ornaments, one of the five jewels of which is worn in a greatly distended hole in the lower lobe of the ear. The general collection of old native jewellery from Southern India shows the infinite variety of forms characterising the several races of Southern India. The reader is necessarily referred to the special catalogue for the enumeration of almost 200 articles, including gold ornaments to be worn in the ear, the nose, on the back of the hair, with imitations of jasmine buds and roses or chumpaka flowers, the gold marriage emblem [a representation of the foot of Krishna), and gold beads, the gold rings as worn by Mussulman females on the thumb and on the index finger, the gold marriage necklet of forty-eight beads, charms, and fifty- two rubies and fifty-seven beads, the silver armlets, wristlets, necklets of silver medallions strung on thread as worn by Mahomedan children, silver finger-rings, silver toe-rings, which form this wonderful display of archaic jewellery. To the ethnologist, the special collection of jewellery worn by the aboriginal Todas, Badagas and Kotahs of the Nilgiri Hills, which includes gold, silver, )rass, copper, and iron; will be more attractive than the silver ornaments lisplayed in such abundance. H.H. the Maharaja of Cochin contributes a special ioUeotion also of the jewellery peculiar to his country. Amongst these may be aentioned the gold filigrain necklace, with three clasps of six rows of chain 0 the upper portion, and seven on the lower, worn by all castes, and the gold narriage necklace of tiiree medallions strung on red silk. Another consists of F 2 Hit n\t M m 68 2^ ^Empire of India. II f! fifty-one medallions of green stone mounted on gold, with 163 rubies strung on red silk, while the medallions composing the ornament represent the avatars of Vishnu. The Maharaja also sends the show of silver jewellery of native make intended for European wear. This contains beautifully wrought examples of the well known filigrain silver, and the brooches of various patterns, such as the vine, the Indian lute, the flower and leaf, the butterfly and palanquin, and the bracelets of flowers or butterflies. The special collection from South Canara contains the gold and silver orna- ments worn by Mapala women, and the waist belts for little children. Under the heading ornaments, in the baser metals, are included several collections of peasant jewellery worn in the different districts of Yizagapatam, Chingleput, Malabar, Tanjore, Eistna, &c. The Maharaja of Yizagapatam sends a gilded state hoiodah, with set of elephant trapping ; for state and ceremonious occasions, as well as a silver howdah used for ordinary purposes. The jewellers of Travancore are noted as producing silver filigrained work of the best description, and H.H. the Maharaja of Travancore supplies a special collection of over one hundred articles, both in gold and silver work. The brass and copper work of Tanjore, which is described as the finest in India, is represented by an admirable collection. Most of the articles are sacrificial utensils, besides which there is a numerous group of copper models, not only of sacred objects, but of daggers, battle-axes, ploughs, &o. In mixed metals, water vessels of brass ornamented with silver and copper flowers, or of copper inlaid with silver, are exhibited by the Madras School of Art. H.H. the Maharaja of Yizianagram exhibits a numerous assortment of arms, including a number of sacrificial knives used in human sacrifice. Two circles of iron, for throwing in warfare, represent a very ancient form of weapon, the use of which is mentioned in the great Indian epic poems. Besides the screen there is a window in carved teak, the work of a pupil in the School of Art, and a native doorway of carved neem wood. The garden set ornamented with carved wooden figures of Hindu gods taken from a very old idol car, is destined to remain in the South Kensington Museum. Two carved blocks in sandal wood, representing mythological subjects, are specially commended to attention by the President of the Committee. Inlaid sandal wood work and lacquered ware of Eamul, Nossam, and Cuddapah are of the usual character. , The well-known ivory carving of Travancore is also illustrated by a long series of small articles, such as paper cutters, paper weights, &c. Models of H.H. the Maharaja's state barge and canoe with cabin, and a variety of carved cocoanut shells are also shown. The glazed and unglazed pottery is altogether the work of the School of Art. The forms and green colour of the old Madura pottery are carefully followed. Among the specimens of cotton fabrics, which are not designated as a rule by their place of manufacture, are very fine pieces of beautiful ami muslin, which rank with the manufactures of Dacca, Nagpur, and Nellore. The Raja of Pithapur, in the Godaveri district, sends a special collection of hand-printed jpalamj^ra, canopy-plothp and curtains, A seriep of thesp, representing scenes a strung on e avatars of Dative make examples of ims, such as anquin, and silver oma- ren.

The native hand-printed wares are set o£f by " five so-called palampura from Manchester, imported for sale in Madras and Bengal. The great deterioration of the pattern will be manifest." Of the silks the Committee remark that the silk cloths would seem to be peculiarly suitable for the present style of ladies' dresses, and as the material used is pure and unadulterated, the colours well blended, and the borders handsome, it is to be hoped the Exhibition will give a very desirable impetus to the Indian silk manufiiicture. Accordingly, pieces of silk, checkered, striped, and plain, all good examples of quality and colouring, are collected for the deleota^on, and, it is to be hoped, the admiration of the softer sex. Except the Berhampur silks, however, these exhibits, like the cottons, have no refer- ence as to their special place of manufacture. H.E. Mrs. Grant-Dufif gives a striking proof of the interest taken by her in the manufactures of the Presidency in the beautiful exhibition of embroi- deries and laces which she contributes. Other embroideries and laces <^^'^ exhibited by the Hobart School of Mohammedan girls. HYDERABAD COURT. The last Court is divided between Hyderabad, or the dominions of the Nizam, and Mysore and Coorg, two adjacent states, situated in the heart of the Dekhan. The Nizam is the chief Mohammedan native ruler, and a descendant of the Mighal Nizam-ul-Mulkh (Regulator of the Empire). This prince pos- sesses a territory comprising 81,807 square miles, and a population of nearly ten millions. The screen consists of a series of arches, the posts being 10 ft. apart from centre to centre. Except in the centre piece or gateway, the height of the screen is 10^ ft., and that of the arches, 8 ft. from the ground ; these, to facilitate description, may be numbered 1 to 7. Nob. 1 and 7 are intended to show the brass-work of the province. The second and sixth arches are of Bidri ware, i.e. blackened pewter inlaid with gold, silver, or copper. The third and fifth arches — those on either side of the central piece — are entirely of lacquer work. The central portion of the screen, or, as it may well be termed, the central gateway, is a Tazzia, such as is commonly constructed during the Mohorran festival, to represent the Mausoleum of Hassain and Hussain. In the combined Court preference may naturally be given to the portion devoted to the manufactures from the dominions of the Nizam, and the great Mohammedan city of Hyderabad with its population of 200,000 souls. Accord- ing to the Gazetteer of India, the principal manufactures are the ornamental metal ware of Bidar, the gold-embroidered cloths of Aurangabad, Gulbarga, and other towns, and the excellent paper of different kinds made by the inhabitants of the hamlet of Eagarpur, near the famous fortress of Doulatabad. The jewellery and silver ware are all of Aurangabad manufacture, with silver filigree boxes which resemble the Dehli silver work. The only one of tho *M m ^'ffi ^^ "'^HKi ■ M 'W' ' ^^H^Btt .''B 'i^lfl H m 'olnl 1 ; ! 1 1 )\ : |!|l art manufaotures in metal is the Udri ware, whioh is here show9 from its original birthplace of Bidar. Close on a hundred articles are exhibited exemplifying Uie important industry which commands an extensive demanicl. Ko dowry is considered complete among the better class of Mohan^- medans unless a complete set of Udri ware, from bed-legs to a spittoon, its included. The high prices often render it necessary for the father of a family to begin his collection years before his daughter is marriageable. The mode of manufacture has been elsewhere described. The mixture used at Bidar is variously stated by authorities at one part of copper to sixteen of zinc, or one part of copper to fourteen of zinc. The patterns of Bidar are generally of a natural floral description. Both gold and silver are inlaid, and copper also is sometimes used in this work at Bidar. ; t; i,, . ,.,,;i.iv.r. ' il 'jl ..711. 1 ^iit'l ■li.i\iijjk<.ft ' Admirers of armour will find ample scope to indulge their taste in the col- lection of ancient armour purchased in the city of Hyderabad, which is noted for old arms, and the modem blades made from the steel in the Hyderabad territory rival the finest Damascus. The lacquer ware shown in the ornamental screen is also illustrated by a large assortment of boxes, fans, sandals, &c. The beautiful lacquer work of Baingaupali, ajagir in the Raichur district, is used in ornamenting every article of domestic use. Like the inlaid metal work of Bidar, articles forming part of the wedding dowry are lacquered. The work is of two kinds or classes, one embossed and tixe other plain, and called respectively mufidbaihi and lajavoardi. The embossing is produced by a tedious process. Shells or slag from the forge are finely ground with some glutinous substance, which is kept a secret, and layer upon layer of this ingredient put on with a brush till the requisite height is attained. The uihole is then covered with gold-leaf, tbe designs are picked out in paint, and the article varnished. Textiles. — The colton fabrics include Kaki coloured muslins, plain and striped, from Baichur. These are a luxury in the hot weather^ and are used by both sexes among the natives, the men using the cloth for their angrdkaa or loose jackets, and the women for wraps. The muslins of Baichur closely resemble those of Nandair, and are about one-fourth the price ; but good judges profess to see a great difference. Thirty-niue pieces are also shown of the finest muslins manufactured in the Hyderabad state. These are salmon-coloured. They are, like the others, all woven in hand-looms. Beside these are examples of the Baichur counterpanes, and the stamped cloth from Indore, commonly used as coverlets and curtains. The Gulbarga Jail exhibits examples of prayer carpets, and a selection of cotton carpets of the noted Warangal make. The aniline dyes can be remarked as having superseded the true old Indian dyes in this manufacture. The gold and silver cloth and lace of Aurangabad and the gorgeous embroideries applied to the canopies of costly state umbrellas of dignity, the elephants' cloths and state horses' caparisons generally, are somewhat sparsely represented. The Gulbarga embroidery is inferior in work to that of Auran- gabad. The work in the exhibits is, however, well done, but the metal used is copper gilt. The pure silk scuria of Baichur, and the maahru or mixed satin for Mohammedan use, and the flowered silks of Aurangabad, are the chief silk |i from its exhibited re demand, f Mohaic}- spittoon, is of a family he mode of it Bidar is sine, or one erally of a pper also is I in the col- ich is noted Hyderabad trated by a r district, is metal work The work and caUed )y a tedious le glutinous lient put on iien covered imished. ind striped, both sexes ose jaokets, )le those of ess to see a ired in the others, all unterpanes, id curtains, m of cotton emarked as e gorgeous ignity, the \t sparsely ; of Auran- 9tal used is lixed satin chief silk Mysore and Coorg Court. 71 fabrics shown, and of these it is needless to say more than that they are the products of long-established seats of the production of the finest silk wares, and are well worthy of their reputation. Seven pieces of embroideries in gold and beetle wings complete the collection. Raichur is famous for its leather industry, principally applied to the manufacture of the slippers and shoes. The leather employed is sometimes dyed, but not unfrequently, as in examples shown, gilt or silvered. The slippers embroidered with gilt and copper are very commonly used, especially by dancing girls. MYSORE AND COORG COURT. Mysore and Coorg are conterminous Hill States, the latter under the direct administration of the Governor-General, and the former a Native State ruled over by a descendant of the Hindu chieftain from whom Hyder Ali usurped it. Mysore has an area of over 25,000 square miles, and a population of over 4,000,000. Coorg is a small mountainous district of about 1600 square miles, south of Mysore, inhabited by a fine race of highlanders numbering about 180,000. The screen for ike Mysore and Coorg Court encloses a space of about 70 ft. in length by 12 ft. in width. The front elevation is divided into seven bays of 10 ft. each, the Mysore Court of five bays being separated from the Coorg Court of two bays by a partition. The designs for the pillars and arches are copied from the Daria Daulat Bagh (the Garden Palace, built by Tippoo Sultan at Seringapatam, and long occupied by the Daket of Wellington, then Colonel Wellesley), reduced to half the original dimensions. The pillars, panels, &o., are made of different kinds of Mysore timber, the carving being executed by local carpenters. The plain panels above the arches of the front elevation and at the sides and top of the three partition screens are filled in with photographs of Mysore scenery, &c., and native mythological paintings. Taken in the order of the Special Catalogue, first noticeable, is a group of Hindu deities carded in soap-stone. Sacred sculpture in this material and dating some hundreds of years back, is found in a perfect state of preservation all over the State. The figures are from two feet high down to miniature repre- Bentatious. This collection indicates the motif of almost all the well known Mysore work. The Canara carving already described, and the Sorab and other Mysore work are identical in every respect, executed in high relief, and illus" trating the Puranaa or legendary histories of the Hindu deities. The conven- tional and deformed figures of Brahma, Siva and Yishnu Krishna, and their consorts and attendant guardians to the earth are contrasted with the foliated borders. The lacquer ware of Chenaputten consists of wooden toys turned and prettily lacquered. Chessmen and chess boards are also made of the same ware. The Mysore inlaid ebony furniture, of which sixteen samples are exhibited, has risen in importance since the Calcutta Exhibition, and at present the demand exceeds the supply. The work of the Mysore goldsmiths in either of the precious metals is well known for the delicacy and ingenuity displayed in chasing, engraving and ornamenting the patterns. The exquisite gold dishes presented to H.R.H. the 72 The Empire of India, li , t if Frinoe of Wales will be remembered by all who have availed themBelvea of the opportunities so freely afforded of inspecting His Boyal Highness's Indian oolleotions. The maker (Venkatrammana) of these exquisite works, exhibits silver castings and silver chased work in ewami figures and salvers. Engraved and repouuS plate is also shown from Bangalore. The brass and copper utensils, and the brass and copper idols of the Tumkur districts are widely noted, and the other known seats of this industry, such as Nagamangala and Magadi are represented by articles intended for religious or for ordinary use. The best workmen of the staple work in metals are Jaine. The ordinary work is described as rough, without finish or accuracy, the circles and the lines inaccurate, and the marks of the file and the burnisher everywhere visible. The brass and copper wares for sacrificial purposes are necessarily confined to the ancient patterns, no innovation being permissible. There is a good collection representing the ordinary gold and silver ornaments set with gems, which are imitated in base metal and glass. Textilea. — Among these the Oanjam chintzes have been specially reproduced from old printing blocks of the time of Hyder Ali, reproducing the patterns which were worn by the peons of Hyder Ali and Tippoo Sahib. The woollen Kambli, marked 732, is sent as a specimen of the choice Davangiri manufacture, of which the excellence is proved by a piece measuring two yards by six yards, being rolled up and placed in the hollow of a small bamboo, one foot and a half long, and two and a half inches in diameter. Throughout Mysore silk manufacture has always flourished. The rich texture and costly patterns of the silks of Bangalore are well known, and Tumkur also produces fine material. The disease amongst the silkworms has however caused a considerable decline in the manufacture. One example is shown of the Bangalore woollen carpeting woven with the same pattern on Loth sides, and noted for durability. Bangalore woollen pile rugs are also exhibited, with the note that the trade in these for export has fallen off since the weavers adopted aniline dyes. THE IMPERIAL COUET. It has already bedn explained in the prefatory remarks, p. 11, that the useful products of India which are collected in the Imperial or Economic Court, which we will now examine, are arranged on a different plan from that of the Art Courts. The raw products and rough manufactures which illustrate the resources of India have been grouped together in successive divisions, which are described with scientific exactitude in the special catalogue prepared by Dr. Watt, by whom this great collection has been arranged ; the following pages are mainly summarised from his catalogue. For those who wish to enquire more particularly into any special group of products, it is only needful to explain that each exhibit is numbered, and a reference to the Index Collection arranged on the walls of the Court, so as to appear exactly opposite to the corresponding commercial collections, will facilitate the study of the larger samples displayed on the tables and trophies or in the glass cases.

The magnitude of the foreign trade of India enables it to rank as the fifth great commercial power in the world. The total value of the external sea-borne trade of India may be said roughly to be 155 millions of pounds sterling, of which 70 millions represent exports and 85 millions impoi-ts. Of this the commerce between India and the United Kingdom claims 86 millions sterling, of which 36 millions represent exports and 50 millions imports. To form a complete estimate of the foreign commerce of India, we must add to this the land trade across the frontiers, which amounts to about 12 millions sterling. The staples of this commerce are illustrated in this Court. The visitors will do well to try and realise the fact that the collection of the fruits of the earth, the implements and the results of human labour, and the illustrations of the rural life which present them* selves one after the other, represents a population of 252 millions, and an area of cultivated land of over 189 millions of acres. The Foreat Trophy. — The massive archway which forms the entrance to the Court is constructed entirely of Indian timbers, and designed by Mr. F, B. Manson, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Chutia Nagpur, Bengal. The middle portion is 22 ft. broad, and rises to a height of 15 ft. ; the side parts are 12j^ ft. high. The total breadth of the trophy is 46 ft., and it is 5 ft. in thick- ness. It contains 3000 specimens of useful timbers. The timber specimens used in its construction belong mostly to the Bengal Economic Museum, and have been lent by the Government of Bengal. The trophy includes also the greater part of Mr. J. S. Gamble's collection described in his " Manual of Indian Timbers." The specimens so described are marked with a letter followed by a number ; the letter denotes the region from which each specimen was obtained. In addition to these collections a large number of new blocks of wood, furnished by the Inspector General of Forests, have also been built into the trophy. The very extensive series of timbers thus brought together has been arranged on the trophy in geometrical patterns, and on either side of the arches are placed fretwork panels of teak wood in arabesque design. A border of alternating dark and light woods surrounds the entire framework. The pilasters are supported by large slabs of timber, bevelled to show the grain of the wood. For the construction of the orna- mental arches some of the principal Indian timbers procurable in Calcutta, ▼iz., teak, s&l, sissu, and pine have been used. The geometrical tracery of the panels forming the plinth on either side of the middle arch is of teak and sissu ; whilst that of the pilasters on each side of the smaUer arches is of teak. Immediately close to the arch are articles of furniture carved from the wood of the Fadouk or Andaman redwood tree. The table constructed of one complete section shows the enormous size which this dark red, close-grained and hard wood attains. The Bamboo Trophy. — Occupying the centre of the Court, and conspicuous by its height, the great object of attraction will undoubtedly be the Bamboo Trophy, which consists of an arch over the central transverse path leading from the Art Ware Courts, and contains one of the most perfect collections of bamboos ever exhibited. This familiar name of the gigantic grasses has, like so many I '.I ^5^ 74 The Efnpire of India. other terms, oome to ub through the Portuguese pioneers of European trade and Bettlem«nt in India* The trophy consists of a platform raised 12 ft above the floor on four columns. The steps on either side are covered with split bamboo arranged in geometric patterns which are continued on the floor of the plat- form. The forty steps of the two staircases exhibit forty di£ferent designs and ten species of bamboo. I|i all, thirty species of bamboo are exhibited in the trophy, for full explanation of which the curious are referred to the index set on the adjacent walls. The number of objects made of bamboo which are hung over the trophy far from exhausts the uses and applications of this, as it may be called, most versatile gift of nature to the Indian and Indo-Chinese peoples. Fruitt and YegetdhUa. — A collecjtion, partly of models made at the Dotanio Gardens of Saharanpore, under the supervision of Mr. J. F. Duthie, and by the Erishnagur modellers employed by the Government of India, and partly of actual fruits, such as will bear the transport an,d keep good in the glass oases, is si;ipplemente4,b7 a large ooUectipn of pr^irved fruits, jams, i^d piokle«. With ipga^rd to the fruits, it will be a surprise to many to hear that the fruits of the East are, it is believed, much overrated in Europe. M^ny of the best of Indian fruits have been introduced fron^i Europe, China, the West Indies, and America. The most characteristic modem fruits of India are the mango, guava, litchi, pine-apple, and plantain. Of these the mango is far the most popular fruit in I '^SU|>^x India. Colonel Yule in his Glossary aayip th%t the rqyal fruit, the mangifera ' "'^uh indica, when of good quality is one of l^eTichest.and best fruits of the world. The origin of the word is Tamil mdn-kay, i.e. mdn fruit. The Portuguese formed I from this tnatiga which we have adopted as mango. Numerous varieties of jama, pickles, and chutneys, prepared from this celebrated fruit are to be found | amongst the exhibits. Nuts. — Together with the fruits are samples of nuts, a term which in India includes ground nuts and the seeds of the edible pine. The true almonds, which are a sacred offering common to the Hindoo and the Jain, as well as a regular ingredient in cookery, especially in a savoury pillao, are imported by the traders of Afghanistan and Persia. The Afghan traders also supply the hassel nut, the walnut, and the pistachio nut, from Afghanistan and Kashmir. The Singara nut (647), which is grown on an aquatic weed, forms in some parts of the country an important article of food. It is stated that in Eashmii ^ 30,000 persons are dependent upon this wild plant for food during certain ^^^ fxyra months. yaflri,f, Cocoa Nut. — ^Near the bamboo trophy is a most interesting collection o '""i*ion objects made from the common cocoanut palm (properly called coco and vulgarlj °^ *"^^ qoker), exhibited by Mr. Pereira, of Bombay. Eighty-three articles are enumer "^ devot ated. The ori^n of the name of this well-known and useful palm, which to th( ^'^ ^'^^ early travellers and mediaeval writers was known as the Indian nut, is suggestec Indiai to be the old Spanish eoca, a shell, although the Portuguese and Spaniards saj '^^® "^^^ that it was called coca because it looks like the face of a monkey or some othe , *bunc animal. ^?J»«al Vegetables. — The vegetables met with in India are readily divided into tw ""'®*s sections of indigenous and introduced. Of the latter it may be said tha '^^P^^* The Imperial Courtr 7fi European fruits and vegetables, though often grqwing luxuriantly, rarely attain the same flavour as their European congeners. Of these, however, the oahbage, tho cauliflower, and radish, alone are eaten by the natives of India, but not until they are over-grown and coarse. From America the potato and the egg-apple, or brityal^ have been introduced. As to the indigenous vegetables, India may be viewed as the region of the cucumber and the melon, with a large series of allied plants, all of which yield valuable fruits and vegetables, and furnish a great proportion of the food of the people. It is almost impossible to arrive at any definite idea as to the extent of the internal trade in vegetables. Nothing is more characteristic of the Indian village than its bazaar or market-place, and it would be di£Scult to find a bazaar where the egg-apple, the melon, the cucumber, the pumpkin, and the radish, were not offered for sale alongside of rice, plantains and chillies. The foreign trade in vegetables has increased in the last five years from about £20,460 to £21,963 ; the bulk of these exports go from Bombay. Nearly the whole of the pot-herbs are wild plants which require no cultivation, and they illustrate one of the most striking features of India, for in few countries in the world are so many edible products to be procured for tho trouble of collecting, edible products too which enter largely into the dietary of the mass of the people. Pulses. — By themselves under the head of " Pulses " will be found the various leguminous seeds which under the name of d&l and gram, the lentils (which furnish the vaunted and really beneficial food for invalids known as revalenta), and others occupy an area of cultivation of forty-eight millions of acres.

Of these, rice is the most valuable of all the cereals to the inhabitants of India. It is the principal food in Bengal, Burma, Orissa and the eastern portion of Central India, the southern parts of Madras, and the ** ^ Vi*"thel^®**®"^ districts of Bombay. In the Punjab, the North West Provinces, ^ 1 tVi b ell*"^ Oudh, Behar, and the northern parts of the Central Provinces, and Gujerat, iPPv |the poorer classes live chiefly on millets, supplemented by barley and gram, • *^' • Jwhile the rich only use wheat and rice. In the southern part of the Central '*r^Tr«QVimjJ-^'^°^°^®^' ^^^^^ *o Bombay, Deccan and the northern part of Madras, the juar ,nd hajra are the staple foods, and in Mysore the small millet known as raggy ir ragi, furnishes the principal provision. In Assam rice is the staple with the ddition of Indian Com and Job's Tears. The estimate of the total area of and annually under cereals is 119,400,000 acres, of which nearly sixty millions .re devoted to rice. As there are many forms, so there are several crops of his essential grain which is, in trath, the staff of life to at least one-third of Ut in Kashmi luring certav collection oi Eo and vnlgarl les are enumer- ' ^ ^ . ■ he Indian population. For the foreign trade, which, however, may be said to it, is BUggestec SpaniardB sa] or some othe Ivided intotw lae said tha »ave been almost ruined within the past few years, the chief supply comes from he abundant harvests of that most prosperous province British Burma, while kngal supplies a small proportion. Where rice cannot be cultivated the aillets invariably take its place as the staple food crop of the mass of the teople. Even in wheat-producing districts this is true. Dr. Hunter is of , B' 'i'l iff .11 ■ i 76 The Empire of India. opinion that, taking India as a whole, it may be affirmed that the staple food grain is neither rice, nor wheat, but millet. Excluding the special rice tracts, varieties of millet are grown more extensively from Madras in the south, at least as far as Rajputana in the north. Wheat. — The development of the export trade in wheat within the last fifteen years is one of the most remarkable facts recorded in the Beports of the material progress of India. Of the two divisions the soft wheats ai-e in most demand for the United Kingdom, while the hard forms which are preferred by the natives of India are in great request in the Italian market for the manu- facture of macaroni. The total area under wheat cultivation in the year 1884- 85 has been calculated at 20,306,464 acres, the Punjab taking the lead with its eight millions of acres, while Bengal had only one million. Grain Trophy. — ^AU these grains are combined in the structure of the Orain Trophy, tibe idea of which is taken from the famous tomb of Itmdd-ud- Dowkih at Agra, the beautiful marble geometric mosaics having been imitated by glass panels of coloured grains. On the outside elevations there are large panels, two of which are devoted to rice, two to wheat, two to Indian com, one to barley and oats, and one to millets and Job's tears, a curious grain which is cultivated in Assam and among the Eastern frontier hill-tribes. Sixteen smaller panels are filled with the pulses, and the remainder with other edible grains and oil seeds. The interior is filled with grains in ear, and Indian com cobs. In the four comers of the room are shown commercial samples of the grains, and in the centre a group of three women modelled in clay " grinding at the mill." Near it are cases containing special displays of wheat exhibited by the Bombay Commeroicl Committee, and collections of rice from Bengal and Burma. Sugare. — ^The raw and refined sugars exhibited by Messrs. Turner, Moi-ris, & Co., of Calcutta, and Messrs. Carew & Co., are examples of a cultivation and a trade which are more important at present for Indian internal commerce than for the prospects of increased exportation. The 1,922,000 acres of sugar-cane cultiva- tion may be said to yield two million tons of coarse sugar. Besides sugar-cane, sugar is obtained from the date palm, or toddy palm, of Bengal, and the palmyra, or toddy palm, of South India, Bombay, and Burma ; but the experts, in which the sugar-cane produce cannot be discriminated from other pioduce, only amounted to one million cwts., as against the two million tons just mentioned. Improvements in the present defective method of expressing the juice, and gradual removal of the prejudice against refined s^igars amongst the natives of India, who chiefly consume g^r or raw sugar, will cioubtless give a large stimulus to the internal trade. A model prepared at Foona in order to show the method of crushing the sugar-cane in the Bombay Presidency, is exhibited in the Agri- cultural annexe. The primitive pestle mill is still the machine most generally used over the greater part of India for the extraction of cane juice. The' method of working it is shown in the model village. Narcotics and Stimulants. — Of the Indian narcotics and stimulants, the first | place is naturally taken by the product of the poppy, commonly called Opium, from its Greek term Smov (opion), from which as a Government monopoly, the Government of India draws an average revenue of nine millions arising from The In^perial CourL 77 itaple food rice tracts, south, at n the last jorts of the re i^ most referred by • the manu- year 1884- )ad with its ture of the )f Itmdd-nd' )&a. imitated re are large [ndian corn, grain which 38.

The its, the first |lled Opium, 9nopoly, the Irising from " provision " opium, t.e. opium sent to China, while the immense internal consump- tion of " excise " opium, i.e. opium consumed in India, gives a return of about £800,000 more. The cultivation of opium is highly remunerative to the culti- vator, who obtains an advance in two instalments, and has a certain market, but for all this, opium production is not popular, and efforts to extend poppy cultiva- tion have been resisted keenly. The mode of preparation, and the various stages of the opium are completely illustrated in the collection, as well as by the models. Another Narcotic, almost peculiar to India, is Indian hemp, which in one or other of its forms, is either smoked as ganja and charas, or consumed as hasheesh liquor, or eaten in the form of majun, a special sweetmeat, the last two forms being preparations of hhang, the young leaves and twigs of the semi- wild plant gathered in the North West Provinces, where ganja is not allowed to be cultivated. The distillation of spirits is under the Excise department, the revenue derived by Government from excise being on an average four millions, and the departmental collection of spirits and drugs, together with the appliances and instruments used in smuggling, well repays examination. The universal Indian still is illustrated by a model, one-quarter the actual size. Attention is called to the exhibits of beer produced by the hill breweries, the more important of which are in Madras and the Punjab, and whose ale and beer are of an excellent quality, as may be seen by the fact that the import of foreign beers in 1884-85 was 194,531 gallons less than in the previous year. Another novelty is the exhibit by his Highness the Maharaja of Kashmir of the wines and spirits prepared in his kingdom. The white wine obtained at Calcutta International Exhibition, a gold medal for its purity and superior quality. Indian tea and Indian tobacco are considered in a court allotted to them, although they naturally take a most important place among the products of this class. Drugs. — There are over thirteen hundred plants reputed by the natives of India to possess remedial properties ; and as in all popular herbals which exist unwritten as having been handed down from unknown antiquity by tradition, a gi'eat number even of the most highly-esteemed are valueless. The Sub- Conrt devoted to drugs and medicines contains examples of over one hundred iuuigenouB drugs, which have almost all attained a European reputation, and which most thoroughly deserve to be more extensively used. From Nepal a large series of aconites', accompanied by botanical specimens of the plants from which the roots were obtained, has been sent by Dr. Gimlette. The monkshood or wolvesbane, which gi-ows on the Himalayan heights, from an altitude of 10,000 feet to the highest limits of vegetation, is equalled if not surpassed in its poisonous and its curative powers by its congener the Indian or Nepal aconite. The specimens of cinchona or Peruvian bark numbered 780, bear their silent witness to the success of an enterprise undertaken by the Government of India to acclimatise if possible this invaluable tree, and so to bring within reach of the population of India what up to that time had been too costly a remedy. This Avas primarily due to the travels and labours of Mr. ClQm^nts Mwkham, C,B., devoted to the examination pf th^ cinchonas of Peru 78 This Empire of India.. i ! um W\ • v I' in their native forests, and their importation to and ultimate establishment in India in 1860. The product of the Government plantations at Darjiling and on the Nilgiris amounted together in 1884-85 to 457,218 lbs., most of which Avaa manufactured into febrifuges. Extensive private plantations also exist in Southern India, and the exports in 1884-85 were valued at nearly £100,000. Fibres. — We now come to the vegetable fibres of India. The more important of these, such as cotton, jute, rhea, and other commercial fibres and paper materials, are exhibited in separate sub-courts, and require separate notice. But besides these there is an extensive series of fibres which are regularly used by the natives of India, though the large majority are unknown to the textile manufiacturers of Europe. The Indian flora contains over 300 fibre-yielding' plants, one-third of which afibrd strong and useful fibres. Some of these will be found illustrated in the * Hope Trophy,' near which are excellent samples of stair-carpets and door-mats made of the well-known coir or cocoa-nut fibre. CotUm. — The samples of cotton prepared by the Commercial Exhibition Com- mittee of Bengal represent the most valuable article of Indian export trade. In India there are 14 million acres annually under cotton, without including Bengal and Assam, of which no returns are published, and the expoi'ts for the year 1884-85 amounted to 5,066,057 cwt., representing a value of £13,286,367. It is noteworthy that to the English manufacturer Indian cotton is, comparatively speaking, of secondary importance. Of the exports above quoted not quite one- half was consigned to England, and nearly half the amount of this was re- expoi-ted to the Continent. The largest market for Indian cotton is found in Italy. Cotton manufactures will be found in a special collection prepared by assortment the Chamber of Commerce of the Cottonopolis of India, the great city of I Pf^per.- Bombay, the mills of which, both in magnitude and completeness, rival any of fuiperor A our most famous English cotton factories. In 1882-83 out of 62 cottons mills in all India, as many as 46 were in the Bombay Presidency. Of these 29 were in the island of Bombay, the rest almost without exception being in Gujerat. The total capital thus employed in the Bombay Presidency was estimated at £900,000, and the total amount of raw cotton worked , up in the year was estimated at 1,232,000 cwts. as compared with 4,742,624 cwts. exported from Bombay in the same time. The latest returns showed an advance in the value of exports of manufactured cottons of nearly one million pounds, those of the raw material having declined in equal proportion. The total Indian foreign trade in cotton was valued at over 41 millions. In addition to the cotton exhibits from Bombay, special collections will be found from Bengal, the North West Provinces, and Assam.

Th Lucknof The first commercial mention of the word "jute" is in the customs returns of "^ native- the exports for 1828. In that year 364 cwt., valued at £62, of raw jute were exported to Europe. The manufacture of gunny-bags and cloth was then entirely in the hands of Indian peasants, but the trade must have been limited since there does not appear to h&ve been any foreign exports in these jute manufaotures. Jute mills were, however, early established in Dundee, and a ^Wa" Ii Oil Seed ys of oil 8 iportance, ctur»d CO ghment in •jiling and t of which 80 exist in 00,000. i important and paper otice. But iilarly used the textile )re-yielding f these will The Imperial Court. 79 large export trade in raw jute sprang into existence. Down to the year 1854 little or no effort was made to improve the Indian jute manufactures, but in that year the " Ishera Tarn Mills Co." was established at Serampore. Three years later the company, now known as the " Baranagore Jute Mills," was established, and in 1863-64 the " Gowripore Jute Factory" was founded. Factories sprang up rapidly in every direction round Calcutta. There are now twenty-three large jute mills at work in India, and in 1884-85 the exports of raw jute amounted to £4,661,368, and the exports of manufactured jute to £1,543,869, showing the startling fact that the value of the foreign trade in jute in 1828 was only £62 sterling, and 1885-6 it was £6,241,568. Bhea.-'— One of the first and most important of the commercial fibres, not so much in its present as in its probable future utility, is rhea. The prize offered by \ (wmtiles of 1*^® Government of India for the most perfectly successful machine for separating this fibre was, it is true, not awarded, no single machine being deemed able to comply at the time with all the requirements ; but strenuous endeavours have within recent years been made to overcome the difficulties of dealing with rhea grass, and the difficulty of the separation of the fibre has been overcome. The high price of the filare itself, together with its exceptional strength and [durability, unfit it for many purposes. The Glenrock Company, Limited, of the "' a'rativelv |Wy^**'''^» Madras, exhibit an interesting collection of their fibres, showing not t nuite one- r"^y ^^®* ^^^ ^^^ *^° ^^ three of the allied rhea fibres, including the so-called ., . j.g. Iwild rhea of South India. The wild rhea of Assam, and various Nilgiri nettles, *a found in l"^*^' ^ addition, pine-apple fibre and Manilla hemp, together with a large reuared bv assortment of aloe fibre, are also on view. Paper. — The art of paper-making in India dates from the time of the great mperor Akbar, and was first practised in Kashmir. Bapidly it spread all over ndia, displacing the birch bark used by the hill-tribes, and the palm leaves vhich served the people of the plains as the vehicle on which they incised with stylus their accounts and written records, and of which examples are shown a. the Education exhibits. It is probable that the inhabitants of the Eastern limalaya, long previously to that era, derived the art of paper-making as iraotised in Nepal from China. The Nepal papers, of which extensive llections are exhibited, are prepared from the bark of two sorts of daphne, ind from the fibre of a plant which grows along the Himalaya, and has oently been found plentifully on the mountains of Manipur, extending to the lorthem frontier of Burma. The paper manufacture of India, like the paper ,de of England, is still seeking for a new material. The paper trophy, as well the special show case contributed by the Bengal Exhibition Committee, shows v of Bombay t® P*?©' materials ; the half stuffs, the manufactured papers from all parts of of jute 18 a k fibre, bition Com- t trade.

Oil Seeds. — In his Beciew of the Seaborne Foreign Trade for 1884-85, Mr. O'Conor ys of oil seeds : " This trade has developed in recent years into one of the first iportanoe, exceeding greatly the trade in wheat, rice, jute, both raw and manu- ctured combined, and indigo or tea, and being exceeded only by cotton or In 1879-80 the quantity and value were respectively 709»469 cwt. rmm ''M i iH'i ^ :-^ 'M' "M, 80 The Ihnpire of India. and £4,685,892. In 1884-85 the corresponding returns were 1,825,688 owts. and £10,745,203, the increase in five years being about 78]^ per cent, in quantity and 69j^ per cent, in value. Linseed, rape seed, til, or gingelly seed, extracted from the seed of the sesame plant, poppy seed, earth nuts, and castor seed are the principal artlnlm of exportation. They have here been mentioned in order of their respective aggregate values thus: — Linseed, £4,192,934; Bapeseed, £2,683,590 ; Sesame or Gingelly, £1,923,002 ; Poppy, £409,159 ; Earth I^uts, £361,406 ; Castor, £2,103,378. The export trade of linseed, which the above figures show to represent more than half the commerce in seeds, is divided between the ports of Calcutta and Bombay, which now ships nearly five million out of the total of 8,746,596 owts., while Calcutta, which, in the year 1880 possessed four-fifths of the total trade, now returns the lesser moiety. The bulk of the exports, viz., 4,731,138 owts., go to the United Kingdom, France receiving only 1,650,659, and the United States 1,231,437 cwt. The teim " rapeseed " includes also the Indian mustard, for the true mustard is scarcely met with in India. Of these there were collectively exported 459,281 owts., valued at nearly three millions. The trade name of the sesame seed, which comes next in importance, is another instance of commercial nomenclature derived from the first Portuguese traders. In Colonel Yule's " Glossary " it is traced step by step from the Arabic al-jaljuldn, corrupted by the Spaniards into aljonjoli, and so gradually transformed into jinjali or gingeli. It is used in India for culinary purposes, for anointing, and also in soup furniture, and aa a lamp oil. It shares with the ground nuts the reputation of being employed by European importers to furnish a sham olive oil. Of the latter the cultivation may be described as a modern industry, the trade in oil as a substitute for olive oil having within the past thirty or forty years developed in an almost unprecedented manner. The value of the exports of ground nuts from India rose between 1879 and 1885 from nearly £17,000 to something over £360,000; and the exports from the French ports in India were but little short of the i same amount, the total value being thus just over half a million sterling. The bulk of this seed is shipped for the continent, principally to France and I Italy. France is said to import from all countries 33 million francs' worth of I the ground nuts, of which India only supplies 2J millions, but it is believed [ that the oil expressed from these nuts, as well as that from gingeli seed, finds its I way into the markets of Europe as olive oil. Oils. — Of the exports of prepared oils nearly three-fourths are castor oil, the I annual export of which is about 3 million gallons, valued at about £300,000, tbel cocoa-nut oil being the only other of any importance. Of this over a million I and a-half gallons, valued at £162,000, were shipped to Great Britain and to| France in 1884-85. With the oils are associated the perfumes, headed by the delicate audi fragrant otto of roses, the utr or perfume par excellence, the chief seat of manu-l facture of which is at Ghazipur on the Ganges, but which is also largely made) iu the North-West Provinces and the Punjab.

Extracts and Ingpmated Saps. — ^Among the extracts and inspissated saps (Sub-court XXXiy.) first comes the catechu or cutch of commerce. This resinous extract, which is prepared by boiling down a decoction from chips of the wood of the acacia catechu, figures variously as a condiment, or spice, or as a medicine. It is used as an astringent in medicine, and also iu dyeing and tanning. The valno of the catechu exported from India has materially decreased in the last five years from £426,641 in 1880-81 to £282,078. The bulk of these exports consisted of Burma or Pegu cutoh. The outch or hath of the North-West Provinces is principally prepared in Eumaon. Instead of being boiled down to a solid consistence, and then cast into large masses, as is the case in Burma and Bombay, twigs are placed in the concentrated decoction, and the hath is allowed to crystallize. The substance thus obtained is formed into cubes of about one half-inch in size. This is a much purer article, and, though not exported, is largely consumed in India as an accompaniment of pan. The ordinary cutch of commerce is a deep reddish-brown with a glassy fracture. In India a solution of catechu by the addition of lime or alum, is used as a dull red dye, largely employed by the calico-printers to produce metallic shades. In tlie general catalogue will be found a long list of trees and shrubs yielding ,mphor, caoutchouc and gutta-percha, foremost among which is the true india- bber tree,^cu« e2a«/tca, which grows freely in the North-Eastern Himalayas, lastward of Assam and Aracan. Although the Government has established a large plantation in Assam, the only source of supply hitherto is the trade with ;he hill-tribes, who prepare the substance and carry it into the valley of Assam for sale. An important Indian extract is the medicinal asafoetida. The ferula lliacea supplies the asafoetida, which is most used by the natives of India, and n which Bombay does a large trade. The thick fleshy roots of the asafoetida ielding plants are cut or scraped, when a milky juice exudes. This hardening forms the asafoetida scented gum resin, which is known to us as an intolerable f useful medicine, but in Eastern countries has been from time immemorial mployed as a flavouring spice. Indigo not only received its name from Europeans, but, as Mr. O'Conor says The manufacture of indigo is, of all forms of enterprise now known in India, that which was first taken up by Europeans, who still retain the monopoly if the manufacture of this article, at any rate so far as concerns the itter kinds exported to foreign markets. European marks of indigo are astor oil, thel 300,000, tue^j^yg^jj^gg q£ quality, and the exports from India have hitherto consisted Imost exclusively of such marks, though lately there has been some extension if cultivation in the North- West Provinces under native supervision, the Toduce of the plantation being supplied to Europe. Practically, however, as et the whole quantity produced from year to year in European factories is ipped from India, the inferior qualities of native manufacture being retained largely madelpj consumption in the country." There are 197 factories working in Bengal, tial oils usedl9g3 j^^ ^j^^ North-West Provinces and Oudh, and 1,254 in the Madras or yellowislWresidency, of which the larger number are under European management, t, the jftswlnl a er a million ritain and to delicate and| sat of manu rm m 82 The Empire of India. Tho mode of manufaoture is shown in the model of an iftdigo factory which ii exhibited in the Commercial annexe. The material dealt with is exemplified by the collection of green leaf indigo shown under the auspices of the Bengal Exhibition and Commercial Committee, while Madras furnishes dry leaf indigo. Lac. — The curious and valuable Indian product known as lae, of which a large collection of samples, both from Calcutta, and gathered from all parts ofl India by the various departments, is on view, is the resinous incrnstAtion formed I'VP°x^ on the twigs of certain trees through the action of the lac insect. In India lac it dissolved in native spirits and coloured. In this form it is used as a vamisli for carpentry and furniture. Mixed with sulphur and some colouring agent i1 is formed into sealing-wax- like sticks, called hatti, which are used to produce lacquered articles of India, as distinguished from the Japanese lacquer, which have ey survey© out that a sense that the thirds o] tillage o: illustrate eveiywh* far as the to them f ful farme: ^ligent, 1 is the natural resinous sap of trees. In Europe, lac is largely made into sealing-wax. Dissolved into spirits it forms spirit varnish. It is made into cement, into lithographers' ink, and is used to stiffen hats and other articles ^^ conop, constructed of felt. The exports of manufactured lac during the last recorded j.j.gA.2 ■, year amounted to £599,145. The exports of lac-dye, which in 1880 were lejedita £13,020, have almost disappeared, the cause of this being the discovery aJimetuiTi th rapid extension of the use of the aniline dyes, which has been destructive noftf ^j^ j only to the tinctorial but also to the textile industries of India. These cheajp^^^jj^ ^ colours have not only depraved the taste of the people, but have demoralise(| There their indigenous industries. The soft delicacy and harmony of colour wliicAf ^ jj . ■ formerly characterised Indian fabrics have given place to the brilliant tints Aoldinir ab the aniline colours, while the reputation for durability formerly enjoyed l)ftrm Qp^- Indian dye-stuffs has been destroyed. Throughout the Courts where iMjxi weed manufactures are exhibited, at every step the eye will meet with proofs of thi Not only have the textile industries been thus irreparably injured, but most the indigenous tinctorial industries have been - ompletely ruined.

The Geological Survey of India, under the direction of Mr. Henry B.

A distinct feature of the coUectii and one new and full oi interest, will be found to be the sectional geograp! map of India, 40 feet long. A special series of maps is devoted to the coal fii of India, which will surprise many by their immense extent and wide distril tion. At present there are 80 coal mines worked in India, of which 78, ar(L,. Bengal, one in the Central Provinces, and one in Assam.

The Famine Commissioners further estimated that 90 per cent, of the rural population live more or less by the tillage of the soil. It would constitute in itself an industrial exhibition to lillustrate the infinite variety of agiiculture in the different provinces. But ring agent i^Beveiywhere the same patient indutitry prevails. The Indian agricultui-ists, so L to pi'oduconfj^,. j^g their strict adhesion to the traditional practice and system handed down cquer, which fc^ them from generations will permit them, are intelligent, ingenious and care- y made iTitolf„i fanners.

Other models successively illustrate various ■ly enjoyed 1) ^^jq operations in Bengal, ploughing and sowing, rolling and levelling, hoeing rts where tn nj[ weeding, and the various methods of irrigating, reaping, threshing and proofs of thii rinnowing are all faithfully represented, but for full descriptions of them wo ed, but most ( n^gt refer to the special catalogue. Of the agricultural implements and lachines which are represented one-third of the actual size, but in other assortment espects are faithful copies of those in actual use, the chief characteristics to be )any, especial bserved, are the very small extent to which they are adapted to save hand- ibour, the preponderance of wood in their construction, and the variations in brm of the same implement. Of ploughs, it may be generally said that the , ndian implement has no resemblance whatever to any English plough, though lenry B. Med j^ ^^^ unlike the plough used in countries south of Europe. The horse-hoe is d ores of Ind ^^ ^^^jy English implement to which it can be compared. In no indigenous lough is the share foimed to invert the soil, which is really scraped or torn B the plough passes through it. For deep ploughing, it is necessai-y that the round be ploughed over half-a-dozen times, where twice, with a suitable plement, would produce the same result. With the exception of some heavy arieties, specially •ased in Southern and Central India, the furrow made by an rdinary plough is seldom more than three inches in depth. EflForts have been laclo to introduce a better design and more effective implements, especially y the introduction of an improved plough, called Kaisar, at the Government sperimental farm at Cawnpore. This ploughs deeper than the native plough nd completely inverts tho soil ; biit it has been found necessary to devise a nplex plough to serve tho double purpose of invoiting tho soil and sowing ko the native implement, but tho native cultivators have hitherto patronised G 2 along with 1 of the coUecti aal geographi to the coal fie d wide distril 'which 78, ar( total outpir 3,172.

The platform is so made that I all the parts give easily. On it the seedlings are laid in neat bundles, and it | is drawn by bullocks over the embankments and through the ruts and water- waste of the rice fields, where no carts could go, and yet without dropping one | bundle of seedlings. ETHNOLOGICAL SUB-COURTS. The Ethnological exhibits successively disposed throughout the Economio Court represent in life-like models, appropriately costumed and armed, men and women of the wilder tribes which are found throughout the various countries of India in the hills and forests, and who are the descendants of the races who inhabited the country before the Aryan immigration, and for want of a better term may be called the indigenous races. It is impossible to do more than to give a list of the Courts in order. Thus commencing from the timber arch, first come the natives of the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Next are found the Karens of Burma. The Singphos, Mishmis, Nagas, and other hill tribes of Assam follow in due order, and are succeeded by Kols and Santals, and other I aces from different territories in the Bengal Presidency. Bombay and Madras occupy the two next Sub-Courts, while the Central Provinces, Central India, and Rajputana are grouped together containing representatives, amongst others of the Gonds amongst whom the practice of human sacrifice prevailed until put down by the Government of India, and the Bhils. Mysore, Coorg, and Hyder abad succeed, and the last in order, come the North- Western Provinces and Oudh and the Punjab. Full accounts of each of the races of tribes represented have been furnished by Dr. Watt in the Special Catalogue. Besides the figures the ordinary domestic and other utensils and arms of each are shown on the adjacent sides of the Courts. THE TEA, COFFEE, AND TOBACCO COURT. The Court devoted to the tea, coffee, and tobacco of India, is filled with thfl largest assortment of samples that has ever been collected together. The exhibits are displayed in glass vessels, arranged according to the districts ; and the visitor wroupine can practically sample the beverages, and purchase packets for home testing. Up to the year 1823, China M-as believed to be the exclusive home of the tea- plant, and to possess an indisputable monopoly of the tea trade. In that year the tea-plant was discovered to be indigenous in Assam, and the first attempt to introduce tea cultivation into India commenced about 1830. The Government of India employed Mr. Fortune to collect varieties of the Chinese plants and to import seeds, and labourers skilled in the cultivation, Assam being selected as the first locality for the new enterprise. The first twelve chests of tea froin Assam were received in England in 1838. From Assam the cultivation of tei possess o Provinces acres. T pounds ii of pounds Thect years.

The Xorth-West Provinces and the Punjab are equal with about 8000 each, and Madras has 5551 acres. The quantity of Indian tea exported has increased from 25i^ million pounds in 1875 to 60 millions in 1884, representing a value of over 4 milUoni of pounds sterling. The oo£fee plantations of Southern India have not been prosperous of late years. The destructive leaf disease has diminished the yield, while the prices obtainable have fallen. The value of the total exports in 1884-85 was about £1,250,000. The cultivation of cocoa or cacao has only within recent years been intro> duoed like cinchona from South America, but there are now thriving plantations in the Madras Presidency, and the trade is an increasing one. Great attention has been paid, both by private growers in Madras and on experimental farms under the Government of Bengal, to the growth and cultivation of the tobacco plant in India, and its subsequent manufacture. The exports of leaf and manufactured tobacco during the year 1884-85 were valued at £150,000. THE KUCH BEHAB TROPHY. At the head ot the North Grand Avenue there is a striking scenic illustration of jungle life and tiger hunting, aiTangcd by Mr. Bowland Ward, F.Z.S. In " The Jungle " are specimens and groups of great game ; in this division may be noted, wounded boar finding refuge; cheetahs and axis; gaur, buffalo, bears and young, ovis ammon, ibex, goral, nilgai, markhor, Bara aingha, hog deer, blackbuck, an Albino blackbuck, sambur, leopards, &o., and many birds. jAmong the reptiles are alligators, pythons, and other snakes, lizards, &o. The Hunting Trophy immediately adjacent, is mainly due to the generous istance of H.H. the Maharaja Kuch Behar. The scene represents a hunting lephant preceding the beaters, which has come upon a group of tigers, one of hich he has stricken, while another has sprung upon him with deadly grip, led with tho Others are near, or retreating in the tall grass and bamboo copse. Among other The exhibits inimals of Kuch Behar are leopard, buffalo, various deer, bear, wild cat, boar, id the visitor loroupino, monkey, &c.

The Military and Marine Depart- ment is subdivided into Army Head-Quartej's, Military and Marine. Of these, Meteorology and Geological SurVey are represented in the Econontic Court annexe, whore also will be found exhibits illustrative of Salt, Exoiso, Opium, Forests and Irrigation. The Survey of India Department contributes illustrations of the various processes by which the results of the surveying operations are transfeiTed to maps, and the maps themselves, in which are made accessible to every one tho exact knowledge collected by the labours of science, and the observations of dauntless and patient explorers. The Revenue Settlement Maps and charts showing the internal trade and the emigration are both worthy of study. Everyone will be interested to learn of the large and constant emigration of Indian labourers to the tea-gardens of Assam, the Island of Mauritius, and to the distant labour fields of the West Indies and Demerara, and even to our young but vigorous colony of Fiji. Some return after their contract of service expires, with their savings. Others remain as settlers.

The Post Office shows from the different Presidencies models illustrating the peculiar means o carriage which are needed in distributing the 184 millions of letters, cards, &o., delivered throughout India in one year, models of mail runners and riders, &o. Specimens of buffalo horns sounded to scare away wild beasts in Assam, or bows and arrows carried for defence in Bajputana, carts, coaches, boats and rafts nro ranged according to tho particular provinces. Our printers and bookbinders can compare the tools and work of their Indian fellow-craftsmen. The Home Department sends a most curious and complete illustration of thi means and appliances employed in the 111,237 schools with their 2,790,00 pupils inspected in 1882-3. The indigenous schools of the Punjab, am all schools not inspected are of course omitted. The model ot an indigenoi school in Bombay is well worthy of examination. The models shown by the Public Works Department, illustrating the Indiai railway carriages, the public buildings, and the great works constructed fc irrigation, on which the lives of millions constantly depend, can only be poim out as claiming much more than a passing glance^ The Military and Marine Department, in addition to the portrait model which stand round the vestibule, contributes not only descriptions but vuidoi models illustrating the internal economy of the army, and the soldier life ai work in barracks. The medical ambulances, the war material, elephant kh daha for catching the wild elephants, which become the most useful and doci servants, and other instructive exhibits, will be found illustrated in the soi what confined space available.

A special collection illustrating not only the silk manufactures, but also the exact state of sericulture in India, is arranged in cases lining the half of the curved passage around the Durbar Hall. Under the joint auspices of the Government of India and the Boyal Commission, Mr. Wardle, who is well known 08 having done more than anyone else to promote improvements in the growth of raw silk as well as the manufacture of silks in India, has been charged with making the collection. Not only is the finer product of the mulberry silkworm exliibited, but also that of what is known as the tuasar as well as the muga and eria worms, noticed in the view of the Assam Court.

Previous Exhibitions ha/e served to illustrate some of the multitudinous Arts and products of our Indian Empire, but it has been left for this occa&ion to biing before us the technical processes of their manufactures, the application and use of objects which otherwise would have remained but beautiful curios, suitable only for the glass cases of a Museum. For this purpose the Secretary of the Boyal Commission made arrangements last year for the utilisation of Indian Art work (as far as possible) in the con- struction and decoration of the Courts, and submitted for the approval of H.B.H. the President, a plan for the draping of the vestibule with Indian printed cottons, the separation of the Courts by carved wooden and stono screens, the construction of a Palace Durbar Hall in carved wood, and in con- "i""viA^*^'nte '''^*''^**'^ yfhh it the peculiar feature of most oriental Palaces, a " Karkhaneh," or y ^ ^workshop, where jewellers, weavers, carvers, and others would carry on their trades, and produce before the visitors the marvellous and beautiful objects of thoir handiwork. At the request of H.B.H. the Prince of Wales, the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education gave permission to Mr. C. P. Clarke, CLE., the Keeper of the India Museum, to visit India, and this gentleman returned in May last, laving completed the necessary arrangements, and brought back a party of wood-carvers, who immediately commenced the Durbar Hall. ,1 The great stone gateway presented to the South Kensington Museum by ■ vl ' >i H ^^^ Highness the Maharaja Sindhia having also been lent by the Authorities )f the Science and Art Department, a design made by Mr. Purdou Clarke whilst ortrait mode OS but varioi oldier life ai elephant hh )ful anddoci d in the sou imber, but i I w I it! 11 ii r, I 88 Tke Empire of India. in India was approved, and the gateway incorporated with tho Durbar Hall and artisans' shops. The whole now represents a typical Koyal ^ laoe and Court- yard, with shops overlooked by an Audienoe Hall, and the public portions of an Indian Palace in the Hindu^Persian stylo known as Moghal. Protected by two bastion towers and loopholed walls, the courtyard is entered through tho Owalior gateway, a remarkable example of modern Indian Art which would alone merit a visit to the Exhibition from the richness of its decoration, and peculiarity of construction, so completely at variance with our system of masonry. It was designed, and the work of execution superintended, by Major James Keith, the Curator of Antiquities at the Gwalior Fort. The shops surrounding three sides of the courtyard number thirteen, and seven more line a passage on tho right which leads to the Private Exhibitorti' Gallery. These are raised about two feet above the level of the pavement, and each front is divided into three openings by columns and foliated arches with lattice panels over. They are occupied by artisans selected by, and under the charge of. Dr. Tyler of Agra, who ply their several trades, and are desirous not only of inspection of their work, but of the patronage of their visitors. On the fourth side is a wide porch extending back and on cither side ; tho low ceiling being supported by orosH beams, and many columns with bracket capitals. Here are the carpet looms, and office where all arrangements are made and orders received for work to be executed by the artisans in the courtyard. Passing through the porch, or Hall of Columns, the garden vestibule is reached, a building of somewhat mixed character, partaking more of the form and construction of a large marquee tent than the glimpses of solid masonry sh(/wing through the tent-like hangings will admit. The mosaic floor and cu/ious tank fountain again add to this look of solidity, which is confirmed by the red sandstone staircase leading up to the Durbar Hall overlooking tho Palace courtyard. This room is certainly the most remarkable object in the Exhibition, being of foreign origin, yet made in the Exhibition by two natives of Bhera in tho Punjab. Entered on the east side through a triple arched opening, the Hall is seen at a coup-d'ceil, and visitors are bewildered with the mass of intricate ornament which covers the walls and ceiling. The foliated arches of the heads of the thirteen recessed windows are again repeated in the casements, and tlio peculiar bracketed cornice carries another line of these graceful arches round the room. The pictures relating to India are exhibited in the Upper Gallery of the Eoyal Albert Hall. ORIENTAL MASSAGE. A Wonderful and Perfect CURE for DYSPEPSIA, also very beneficial for RHEUMATISM.

C 91 ) THE DOMINION OF CANADA. The Dominion of Canada occupies the northern half of the North American continent. It covers an area of 3,500,000 square miles, and is territorially about equal in extent to the continent of Europe. Beaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the western half has a southern frontier which, if extended across the Atlantic Ocean, would strike the latitude of Paris, while the Eonthemmost point of the eastern section of the country is in the latitude of Borne. Canada is thus the physical equivalent on the continent of North America of the great empires and kingdoms of Germany, France, Italy, Buasia In Europe', Sweden and Norway, Belgium, and the British Islands; it is, above all, an integral portion of the British Empire, containing natural resources as varied and as great as of those countries. Nineteen sliort years ago Her Majesty's possessions in North America entered upon a corporate existence, and tlie change thnt has since taken place in the general development and the prosperity of Canada cannot but be accepted as a remarkable proof of the sagacity of the in^rial and colonial statesmen who directed the movement. The confederation grew out of the natural desire of the people of the disconnected provinces to unite for their mutual benefit. To the petition for the privilege of confederating, the British Parliament responded, in 1867, by passing the " British North American Act," providing for the voluntary union of the various provinces in North America under the name of the " Dominion of Canada," and for the cession to the Dominion of all the vast unsettled area of British America formerly dominated by the Hudson's Bay Company, with power to create new provinces and admit them into the union when suflBciently populated. The Act come into operation on the 1st of July, 1867 — the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick uniting with Upper and Lower Canada, henceforth Ontario and Quebec. This union of the inland and maritime provinces gave to Canada an importance she had never before possessed. In 1870, the Province of Manitoba was created, having been carved out of that portion of the territory lying on both sides of the Bed Biver of the North, embracing the city of Winnipeg and the old Bed Biver settlements of the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1871, the large and prosperous Province of British Columbia was added, comprising all tliat region lying between the Bocky Mountains and the Pacific, including the numerous large islands fringing the coast, and extending from the United States to and beyond the southern limit of Alaska ; and in 1873 Prince Edward Island joined the confederation. Tliis political bond has been strengthened by the construction of the Canadian Pacific Bailway, the great national undertaking which has now been brought to a successful tcrmina- tion, and by means of which the extreme eastern and western .portion of the Dominion are brought into close relationship with each other and with the hitherto scarcely known prairie regions of the North-West Territory. The completion of the new line must largely stimulate travel, immigration, settlement, and commerce, and draw the attention of the people of every nation to the enormous area of the Dominion, its large population, and the great variety and magnitude of its natural resources. The population of the Dominion approximates 5,000,000, which is augmenting at a rapid rate, and which, notwithstanding the diversity of origin, has, under the force of circumstances, been welded into a homogeneous whole. About one-half are of English, Scotch, and Iriish extraction ; one-fourth are of direct French descent ; Germany is well represented ; and every nation in Europe has contributed its quota to swell the population. Of Indians there is an estimated pupulation of 100,000. About one-third of these live in the older provinces, and have been long since gathered into settlements under the care of officers of the Indian Department, in some cases having industrial schools and other organisations to aid them in their progress toward a higher civilisation ; and it is only necessary to glance at th'^ products of Indian industry in the Exhibition in order to learn how marked that progress has been. 14 M i! ii ^' Kl ill ! I! 92 Catutda, The Government ot Ganada, as at prestnt constituted, is a representative one, the executive authority being vested in the Sovereign of Great Britain, and oarried on in the name of the Crown by a Ctovernor-General, assiated by a Privy Council. These form the chief Government of the whole Dominion. The legislative branch consists of a Dominion Parliament, composed of two housei;. The Upper House, or Senate, oonsbts of members who are appointed for life by the Ck)vemor-General in Council. The House of Commons is a purely representative body, elected by the people, the representation being apportioned to the various provinces in the ratio of their population. Each province enjoys local self-government, having a provincial legislature elected by the people, and a Lieutenant-GoTcmor appointed by tlie chief or Federal Government. There is also a very perfect system of municipal government throughout the Dominion. Both the counties and townships have local governments or councils which regulate their local taxation for roads, taxes for schools and other purposes, so that every man directly votes for the taxes which he pays. This system of responsibility, from the municipalities up to the General Government, causes everywhere a feeling of contentment and satisfaction, the pe . believing that no other form of government can give them greater freedom. 1 .tmost religious liberty everywhere prevails in Canada. Persons coming to the Dominion from LuFope, of di£ferent persuasion, will find places of worship and abundant facilities for the practice of their faith among neighbours who will sympathise with their views. Before school boards were established in England the Dominion had a well-orgnnised system of public or common schools in operation, iu which instruction is not merely cunHned to the rudiments of education. In many cases the higher branches are taught, and the children i«ceivo a sound practical education, fitting them for any ordinary position in life. Both in the country districts and in the towns, boards of trustees, elected by the people, manage the afiairs of the public schools. Provision ia also made for the establishment of separate schools in districts where the inhabitants are divided in their religious opinions, and mixed sohoola are not possible. Tlie public schools are absolutely tree, and are supported partly by a local tax and partly by a grant from the Provincial Treasury. In addition, there are grammar schools iu all parts of the country, managed like the public schools, at which, as well as at the many excellent private Fchools, pupils receive a good classical and modem education. Above tliese again are the high schools, collegiate institutes, and universities, the latter liberally endowed with scholarships, where the cost of attendance is comparatively so small as to place the facilities for education they ofier within the reach of all. There are also ticliools of surgery and medicine in the larger cities, and the religious denominations also have colleges at which young men aro prepared for the ministry. The higher education of girls is also mot in the fullest manner by numerous high schools, generally denominational in character. In fact, moans of education, from the highest to the lowest, everywhere abound in the Dominion. The variations of the Canadian climate are less than in many countries of much smaller extent. But throughout nearly its whole area Canada is characterised by a greater heat iu summer, and a lower temperature in winter than in corresponding European latitudes. The climate of the eastern and especially of the western provinces is moderated by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans respectively, while the great water system of rivers and lakes, which extends throughout the Dominion, helps to preserve an equable climate in the interior provinces. The degrees of latitude, therefore, are a very imperfect guide to the cLaraoter of the Canadian climate as compared with that of the British Isles, and any statement of the mean temperature of the two is deceptive. Tiie severity of the winter, as tested by the thermometer, leads to a very exaggerated impression of Canadian experiences. Owing to the dry, clear, bracing atmosphere which generally prevails, row easterly winds and damp fogs ore rarely experienced in a Canadian w^intcr. There are, indeed, every winter some days of intense cold, as in the summer there are brief periods of equally intense heat, when the thermometer ascends, or descends very much. But throughout the greater part of the winter season in Canada the sky is bright and clear, and the weather thoroughly enjoyable. Everywhere the appearance of the snow is hailed as seasonable and beneficial. It protects the wheat sown in autumn from the frost, afibrds facilities to the farmer for bringing his produce to market, aids the lumberman in oollecting the fruits of his labour in the forest at suitable points for transport, and so contributes alike to business and pleasure. In short, the Canadian climate is marked by the striking contrast of two seasons — summer and winter— bvinging with them alternations of fruitful labour and of repose, intermingled with Canada. 03 Bxecutive ae of the rernment oomposed tinted for MentatiTe icB in the provincial >r Federal ghout the li regulate 1 directly licipalitiea itisfaction, Dominion iea for the sed syBtcm led to the ren receive he country lira of the n districts ot possible, partly by a )artB of the ent private in are the iholarships, r education line in the men are }8t manner education. profitable industry and pleasure. !this characteristic prevails, with slight variations, throughout tbe greater part of the Dominion. While it is impossible, within the limits of this introduction, to speak in detail of the agricultural capabilities of Canada, it may be stated generally that its soil and climate are such that the country produces a greater variety of grains, grasses, vegetables, and fruits than is usually grown in Oreat Britain and Ireland. It possesses the largest extent of cultivable land yet opened for settlement, adapted to the growth of productions of the temperate climates, not only on the American Continent, but in the world. Canada is prei«minently a country of yeoman farmers. The land is held in possession and tilled by the setUer on his own account ; and with every addition to the numbers of its industrious population, fresh acres are recovered from the wilderness and added to the productive resources and the wealth of the Dominion. By patient industry and firugality it is in the power of every Canadian to become owner of a house and pro- prietor of whatever amount of lAnd he can turn to profitable account. The mtg'ority of the farms are small, tilled by the proprietor with his own hands, with the help of his sons and occasional liired labour inthe busy season of harvesting. But capital is also successfully applied to farming, ani large stock farms in the eastern provinces, and latterly in the ranching country at the foot of the Bocky Mountains, are now carried on with great success. The forests of Canada abound in fine timber, adapted to almost every variety of useful or ornamental work, and furnishing one main element of wealth. Their value is becoming more apparent every year. At present the produce of the forests e:;ceeds in value any other yield of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the Dominion. The total value of the annual exports of timber products approximates £6,000,OCC', for which Great Britain and the United States are the principal markets. The mineral resources are represented by coal fields of immense extent, both on its Atlantic and Pacific coasts ; and there are large deposits beneath the surface of its prairie lands east of the Rocky Mountains. It has iron, gold, silver, copper, lead, and other mines of great richness, and almost every description of tlie most valuable building materials ; also petroleum, salt, and phosphates. Looking to the native fauna of Canada tnm an economic point of view, it is abundantly eviilent that the animal life of its seas and rivers is one of its great and inexhaustible sources of wealth. Alike on the sea coasts, in the estuaries, and throughout its groat inland lakes and rivers, the most valuable fish abound. Canada has been esteemed from its earliest discovery for its valuable fur-bearing animals, and has been the trapping and hunting ground for two centuries for the Hudson's Bay Company and other organisations. For sportsmen the country ofiers unusual attractions, both in the abundance and variety of its game— which is well distributed over the backwoods of the eastern provinces, the districts immediately west of Lake Superior, the prairie region, and in British Columbia. The northern sections of Canada are the breeding grounds of an immense variety of the feathered tribe. Thus, with an advantageous geographical position, with resources not widely dissimilar to those of England, and institutions calculated to secure law and order, civil and religious liberty, and the best traditions of the mother country, Canada may, in the no distant future, become the home of one of the most populous and powerful peoples of the earth.

In tbose brief pagoa it ia only proposod to givo a Hhort aooount of Now Huuth Wiikn, the great "Mother Colony" from which has sprung all the other English ilopoudoncios of Auttrnlonia. Without going into any detailod accounts of the voyages of the oorly Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese navigators iu the waters of the Paoiflo, it is snflSoient to recall the fact, that tho lint Unglishman who behold the Australian coast was the world-ronowned buccaneer, William Dtuupier, one of tho greatest of English seamen. Dampier merely saw a portion of the northern coast of the vast Island-Continent, and the present generation of "Australian Eoglish" owe littlo to that erratic seafaring genius, inasmuch as his adverse reix>rt retarded Nttjcment for many years. Ho briefly denounced the country as a desert, and the inliabitants u tho most wretched savages on the face of the earth, a character which subsequent ethno* logists have been only too ready to endorse. It was not until tho year 1770 tliat Captain Cook sailed into Botany Bay, and, unfurling tho British flag, took possession of tho Island-Continent iu tho name of the British Grown. This TO8 in the roigu of George III., n reign ill-starred, in that England then lost fur ever her great North American colonies ; but during which also, by her unconquerable supromaoy at sea, she was enabled to compensate herself for her losses in the Atlnntio by new and glorious acquisitions in the Paoific. Fitly, therefore, does Captain Cook's monument proudly stand in Hyde Park, Bydncy, overlooking the Antipodean metropolis which has sprung up on the shores of the series of exquisite bays which form the Harbour of Fort Jackson. It was not, however, until the 13th of May, 1787, that any serious attempt to utilise tliose sew iiossessions of tlio British Crown was made. Then it was tliat England's great Imperial Minister — ^^Villiam Pitt — dospatohcd Captain [Arthur Phillip, R.N., with certain ships to these newly-ncquired territories, and with orders to [orm a settlemout at tho Bay which Cook had named from the luxurious vegetation of its iloping shores. Phillip finding Botimy Bay an unfit spot for his settlement, sailed round to Port Jnckson. lero he lauded his 730 i^crsons and founded Sydney, so called after tho then Secretary of tatc, and established the nucleus of tho great Colony of New South Wales, of which he was tlio it governor. Governor Phillip was succeeded by Captain Hunter, and then by Captain King, whoso mirable reign wns followed by tho troublous times of Governor Bligli ; to wlioni, after tho interregnum " of Lioutunant-Cols. Johnstone and Paterson, succeeded Governor Macquarie, from hose time the prosperity of the Colony may not unfitly bo dated. Passing over tlio time of the early explorers, such as Dawes, Patterson, Hacking, Caylcy, (ann, and Basa, whoso discoveries were confined to tiie coast line, we come to that of William !iiarlc8 Wentwortli (afterwards the most illustrious of Australian statesmen), wlio, with Gregory loxlond and Lieutenant William Lawson, in May, 1813, effected a passage across the Bluu Konntains, and discovered tlie great plains of the interior. From this achievement of these three pioneer-^, therefore, may bo traced what is accurately [escribed as the " oj)oniug up " of the country. Governor Mact^uarie turned their discoveries to count by sending Surveyor Evans and Major, afterwards Sir Thomas, Mitchell, to open up u 188, following whoso discoveries of the "Wide Western Slopes" came tho merino sheep utroduced by Macarlhur), and tho inauguration of the pastoral era of the Colony. After tho pastoral era (we are compelled in this brief summary to proceed by " leaps and lunds") came the era of the gold discoveries. This was followed by the full tide of emigration. le province of Port Phillip separated from tho *' Mother Colony " iu 1851, and became the ilony of Victoria ; and subsequently, in 1859, the district of Moreton Bay was constituted a L ^i^4 4 146 New South Walea. Bfpnrato colony uudor tho numo of Queensland. From these days the history of Now South Wales is one of ever increasing progress and prosperity. Tho "settlement," with its population of 1,000 persons, has developed into a great self-governing colony, with a population of nearly a million, and with a metropolis, world-renowned for the pro-eminent beauty of its site, of somo 300,000 souls. This briefly is the history of New South Wales from the days of Governor Phillip to those of Lord Garrington ; and it is a not unworthy or ignoble record of a century's work in what tho late Walter Bagehot would call " Nation-making." New South Wales is situated between tho 28° 15' and 37° 85' south latitude, and the 141° and 153° 35' east longitude, and oompriaes an area of 810,700 square miles, which in round numbers is some 200,000,000 acres, and about three times tlie extent of Great P. 'tain and Ireland. Sydney, the capital of the Colony, stands on the shores of Port Jackson, a harbour of romantic beauty and surpassing lovjUuess, not having its equal in the r jrld. Wooded to the water's edge, and stretching inland in a hundred finely rounded bays, land-locked and secure, where all the meroantile and armed fleets of the world might ride at anchor at one time. The city extends some four miles north and south, by a breadth of six miles east and west. It has been estimated to contain about 125 miles of streets, and some 40,000 houses, with a population, inclusive of its extensive suburbs, of close on 300,000. The Botanic Gardens, Government Domain, Hyde Pork, Prince Alfred Park, Belmore Park, Victoria Park, Wentworth Park, Moore Park, and other public reserves, cover au area of 800 acres, and ore all easily accessible for purposes of recreation, forming, like those of London, tho " lungs " of the rapidly increasing city. Not opl^ is the population of tho metropolis of the Colony increasing with wonderful rapidity, but the city is being yearly more and more boautiflcd by the splendid new buildings that have been creot«d, both for business and residential purposes. The main wealth of a country is of course its territory, and it is to the rich agricultural lands aa well as to tho boundless pastoral plains of New South Wales that its present progress and future prosperity must Iw chiefly attributed. Glancing at the pastoral interest, it reads like a romance — though the romance bo embedded in Mr. Goschen's favourite form of figures. In 1792 the livo stock of New SoutJj Wales, which was then the whole of Australia, consisted only of 28 head of cattle, 11 horses, 105 sheep, 43 pigs, and a few goats. In 1885, or during a period of 90 years, the numbers had increased to 9,000,000 cattle, 80,000,000 sheep, 1,500,000 horses, 1,000,000 pigs. These numbers include the live stock of New South Wales and tho other two colonies which separated from her, viz., Victoria and Queensland — as well as thoee of Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and New Zealand, which during the same period have beeu chiefly stocked from tho ofi'spring of the Mother Colony. In the annals of the world's history, no country can show such a marvellous progress in pastoral enterprise ; and the lucky " accident " of the introduction of the merino sheep, from which by careful breeding and natural diflercntiation from tho original Spanirh type. New South Wales, at the Paris International Exhibition of 1878, "obtained tho Grande Modaillo d'Honncur," in competition against the whole world. With the increase of population, and by the action of land laws specially designed to settle tho people on small farms, agriculture has more than kept pace with its older pastoral rival. Somo 80,000 persons are engaged in agricultural pursuits alone, and 852,000 acres are under whriit, barley, oats, maize, and other cereals. This quantity is actually under crop, but somo 34,000,000 acres comprise the agricultural holdings of the Colony, of which ^lerhaps 28,000,000 acres arc enclosed. The following table, compiled from the returns of 2l8t March, 1885, shows tho quantity of land under cultivation and tho produce of each crop : — Acrcogo.

Although these figures afford some slight idea of the enormous material pr:>gre8S o, ^e Colony, it is necessary to add a few words in order to illustrate the social and intellectual con- dition of this important portion of our world-wide Empire. With regard to religion, all the sects stand on tho same level of equality, there being no " Established " or State Church. These churches are supported entirely by voluntary subscrip- tions, as all " State aid " ceased in 1862, except some small outstanding liabilities to the then existing incumbents. Koughly speaking, out of a population of 950,000 there are some 600,000 Protestants, the great iiiajority belonging to the Church of England, and about 280,000 Roman Catholics, the remainder being made up of various nationalities. It may be added that the Protestant bishop of Sydney, the accomplished Dr. Barry, is the Metropolitan ; and that tho head of the Soman Catholic Church, Dr. Moran, is the first Cardinal who has been appoi ttd by tlie Pope to any British dependency. The Catholic and Protestant cathedrals of St. Mary and St. Andrew are two of the greatest architectural ornaments of tlie City. T'lC education of the rising generation has not been neglected by the State. Tlie Public Instruction Act was ppssed in 1880, and under its provisions the teachers are classified as civil servants. Owing to tne compulsory clauses, great progress has been eifected in the matttff of increased attendances, and new schools. The decennial return shows an increase from l^S^G schools in 1875, to 2,535 in 1884, and from 124,756 scholars to 202,510. If we add to th.fu :,>li;r figures tile numbers of those attending private schools, we should probably find a school p ,;)a!!i}i •; of some 280,000, or almost one-third of the entire population of tho Colony. The fei^o expenses of working the Public Instruction Act — in school sites, building, furniture, &c., exccedi £700,000 annually. Tho crown of tho educational system of the Colony is the University of Sydney, incorporated In 1851, and which owes its existence largely to tho potriotic eftbrts of the great Australian statesman, Wentworth, aided by Sir Charles Nicholson, and other prominent colonists. It enjoys a public grant of £1 6,000 annually, but has been enriched by princely bequests from wealthy colonists, the largest of which is that of Mr. Challis, for £180,000. Its degrees and diplomas are both recognised throug'. tho British world, and its Professors and Lecturcm, including, until his death, tho illr.jtrious Badham, Lave always been men of high academic distinctiou. Following the worthy example of tho City and Guilds of tlic Ix)ndon Institute, tho Board ol Technical Education established a Technical College in August, 188;]. Sydney also possesses a Museum, Free Public Library, and National Art Gallery, where much of the genius and culture of the Old World has been Introduced into the New.

Lendenfeld estimates the number of known species of Australian sponges at 350. Considering how little is known of the Austra- lian Marine Invertebrates, compared with those of European seas, this number sliows that there must be more species of sponges in Australian waters than in any other locality of similar extent. Divided from tho other continents by mostly deep, and for shallow-water sponges unsurpas- sable oceans, Australia has a sponge Fauna of its own. Only three or four European species have up till now been discovered in Australia. The collection of Sponges in the Australian Museum comprises nearly all Australian species, and will bo found enumerated nnd described in the catalogues published by that Institution. Tlie species exhibited are described in that catalogue. They are few in number, for limit of space precluded a more extensive display. 901.

By James Thomsov, Sec^eiAry to the Boyal Commimonfor Victoria. br the ootnpdratiTely limited apace, allotted for the iutroduotory notioea of each of (he OaloDiea represented at the Exhibition, it is not possible to give anything like a detailed description of their varied products and resources, or of their remarkable material and social jsTOlopment and progress. This is more particularly the cnse with the colony of Victoria, one |of the youngest members of the great family of tiie British Empire, but whose history and idvauoement is amongst the most interesting and wonderful events of the century. With the new of furnishing the people of Great Britain with the latest and most reliable information mpeoting the Colony — its progress, resources, and future prospects — ^the Government has, tiiroagh the Boyal Oommission for Victoria, prepared a handsomely illustrated ' Handbook of Tietor!?,' for circulation in connection with the Colonial Exhibition. This work contains {ipedally written articles by gentlemen possessing extensive and diversified Australian xperience, and who are recognized as autliorities on the subjects which they have severally idertaken. The history and progress of the Colony, its leading industries, and the social and iterial condition of the people, are all fully dealt with, while numerous engravings are given of baraoteristio scenery, public buildings, mines, vineyards, and other objecta of interest. It is ikinly from Mr. Juliaii Thomas's interesting article on Victoria that the present notice has en taken, want of spacb only compelling its curtailment. The colony of Victoria lies at the south-eastern extremity of the vast Australian continent, itween the 84th and 39th parallels of south latitude, and the 141st and 150th meridians of eut gitude. Its extreme length is about 420 miles, its greatest breadth about 260 miles, and its tent of coast line nearly 600 geographical miles. On the north and north-east it is bounded ly the colony of New South Wales, and on the west by the colony of South Australia. On the luth-east its shores are washed by tho Paciiio Ocean, and on the south by the Southern Ocean. le area of Victoria is 87,884 square miles, or 56,245,760 acres, being about a thirty-fourth of le whole continent of Australia, and nearly as large as England, Wales, Scotland, ami iland combined. Although not the largest of the Australian colonies, Victoria is the most ipnlous, now containing, it is estimated, one million inhabitants, being 40 per cent, of the pnlation of all Australia. It also with justice claims to be the richest and most prosperous England's colonies in the Southern hemisphere. Several attempts were made in the early part of the present century to colonise that part nf mtralia now known as Victoria, but they ended in failures, and it was not until the year 183.') IPS Robev'fr^ permanent settlement was commenced on the site at present occupied by the city of mcHim JtS— T. WEST.I STREET, NETTING, aO-PLATE, kctureis. ?s,m:aiib: ;he Colony. fcc. [elbourne. Good land was discovered in various parts of the district then known only as Port lilip, and a steady stream of population soon set in. Melbourne, the infant city, was named r the Prime Minister of England at that time, and it soon rose into importance. In 185U, ily fifteen years after its settlement. Port Philip had a revenue; of £230,000. its Exports lunted to nearly a million sterling, and its population had increased by rapid strides to ,000. This was a year before the discovery of gold, which " uplifted the Colony in a night to position of a nation and a power in the world, and advanced her destinies hundreds ot at one bound." In the year 1851 Port Philip became a separate colony and was , ~ied " Victoria," in honour of the young Queen who had recently ascoudod the throne of lant, I'l-^i'O^'Vgland, and who has ever since ruled the vast Empire of which Austmlia forms a part, d Importoi'S^ j{,^yery of gold in 1851 gave the Colony a wonderful impetus at the time; wlioii iple from all parts of tlie world hastened to the Oalifomian gold-fields, Auptralia sutferetl losing hundreds of her people, who flocked thither. This in the end, however, provod a ing, for when tho gold-seekera returned they were struck with the similarity between Austra\\i\ Ie.c. ET I'^im l»I ii':i i!ft »■(■; Im- 178 Vietoria. '^i^; .■f,''!; I i the rock and soil of their adopted laud and that they had jast left. They sought for gold and found it. A man named Esmond discovered it in quartz rook at Olnnes. Then it mi found at Buninyong and at Ballarat. When the reports reached Melbourne, members of all classes were seized vith the gold mania, and there was a "rush" to the gold-fleldi. Desks, oflBoes, shops, ships were deserted. Closely following the Ballarat finds came those of Mount Alexander and Bendigo. whieh fanned the flames of excitement to a frenzy. The people were " drunk with the hope of gold." From every quarter of the globe ships sailed into the once peaceful harbour. Yiotoria was crowded with searchers for fortune; in one year nearly 80,000 immigrants being added to the population of the Oolony. From that time it has advanced with giant strides. Well may Victoria and its capital be termed ma^ velloos I Well may old men who remember OoUins Street as a broken forest shake their I heads when tliey gaze upon the fashionable crowd on the " Block," and feel like TuUirer, that " the world is too much for them." Who would recognise in the Melbourne of 1886 the " bush town " of thirty years ago ? Then the streets were full of gum-tree stumps and deep rati. The principal thorouglifare, Elizabeth Street, was for months in the year a flooded quagmire in which on one occasion a waggon and team of horses were absolutely swallowed up, and I bullock drays were daily bogged. Iron buildings and bark " humpies" were seen on everjr I hand, and what is now the important municipality of South Melboorne was a field of tenul known as Canvas Town. The old pioneers who have not "made their pile" tell strange! tales of the doings in those early days when Odd was King, and each man did that whieli| was right in his own eyes. Yet the records of crime are very slight. The rude, rough, haidl life on the gold-fields, whilst it produced a few bushrangers, tempted by the enormous spoilt | within their grasp, was not productive of petty offences. With gold flowing from eveijl man's hand and pocket, hunger and want were unknown there. Melbourne may not hafel been very moral in those days, but of "habitual" criminals it had few, and the vagrant| and the pauper were unknown. Melbourne is now one of the moat beautiful capitals in the world, and it is also the mottl populous and important city in the southern hemisphere. Including its suburban municipalitiei^l eighteen in number, all lying within a radius of ten miles from the Town Hall, it cont 825,000 inhabitants. Mr. Anthony Trollope well described it as "one of the most «t(cce««/iil| cities on the face of the earth." It is well laid out with wide and regular streets, with bro side-walks well paved and lighted. Tree planting in the streets has been extensively carriei on, giving a pleasant shade as well as refreshing the eye. The buildings are not only handson but many are of great architectural merit. The cathedrals and churches, schools, Farliameil Houses, Treasury, Town Hall, Post Oifice, Law Courts, Custom House, University, Museum, Fn Library, National Gallery, clubs, theatres, and other public institutions are worthy of spe admiration. The banking corporations are settled in buildings which would adorn Lombard o Threadneedle Street. The wharfs on the banks of the Yarra now give accommodation to lorgi ocean-going steamers. The shops and warehouses are equal to those of most cities in the Olf World. Everything necessary to make life content and easy can be procured in Melbourne, the suburbs are connected with the heart of the city by railways and the most perfect system i tramways in the world. And the mansions in the fashionable suburbs are only less gratifyiij evidences of the prosperity of the people than the thousands of pleasant cottages which one on every road within a few miles of the city. Any visitor to the Colony must be struck with I perfect arrangements for water supply. There is hardly the smallest cottage without its room. Tho most important reservoir is the Yan Yean, which is an artificial lake at the foot] the Plenty Banges, nearly nineteen miles from Melbourne proper. The numerous parks i reserves and public gardens in and around Melbourne arc* heritages sacred to the health enjoyment of the people, which astonish the " new chum " from crowded European cities, whd one is taxed for space to breathe. This is above all a place for the people. In no large town] the world has a working man so many enjoyments as in Melbourne, or so many privilegj There is no State Church here, but free State schools give secular instruction to children wh parents may be willing to accept it Children between the ages of six and fifteen who do not atU the State school must give evidence that they are educated at a private school up to a gii| standard.

In the matter of amuaement, the inhabitanta of the metropolia are fumiahed with four theatrea and aeveral muaio-haUs. At the Exhibition Building ud at the Town Hall grand ooncerta are weekly given. Beaidea the Mayor and Town Clerk, the tffogreateat civio fnnotioDarieB outside London, Melbourne poasesaea a "city organiat," whoae position in the musical world ia aa that of the Poet Laureate in literature. But theatre and eoBcert-Ioving aa are the Yictoriana generally, it is in outdoor aporta that they chiefly relax. Orioket, lawn tennis, football, rowing, yachting, and bicycle riding are the most popnlar amuae- aenta. In cricket our native youth have made their mark against the Gentlemen and Playera of England at lord's. There are no more perfect arrangements of the kind in the world than those jit the Melbourne Orioket Ground, where the members* pavilion is not only a " grand stand," but dining, billiard, and bath-rooms. Football is as popular here aa in some parts of lEnglaud. It is proposed that a football team shall be shortly sent to Great Britain from iTiotoria. Next to cricket, horse-racing absorbs the affections of the Victorian people. In any iw township a racecourse is one of the first things laid out. Toung Australian natives of both :e8 are as much at home in the saddle aa Araba or Oomanohe Indians. Melbourne possesses flrst-olR88 racecoursea within a few minutes' ride by rail from the city. At Flemington the it race in Australia, the " Melbourne Cup," is run early in November (our spring). From part of the continent people of all classea then flock to Yiotoria's metropolis. The " Gup eek" is the Carnival of Australia. If Flemington is like Epsom, Gaulfield course may be said be the Ascot of Melbourne. The stranger at the Cup meeting will perhaps get a better sample Victorian customs than anywhere else. There is an annual attendance of not less than 100,000 iple on Gup Day, yet the " new chum " will be surprised to see that policemen »re oonspicuoni their rarity, that there ia scarcely a trace of drunkenness, and that amongst the vast crowd, tho ibers all well dressed, and with money in their pockets, nothing but good-humoured order ivails. Here, where every one's working hours are so much shorter than in other parts of the irld, the toiler with hand or brain has no temptation to make a Saturnalia of his holiday, lere is less drunkenness in Victoria and as little crime aa anywhere in the world. Victoria, however, should not be judged only by ita metropolis. The inland township! ve mention. Ballarat, the second city in the Colony, ia situated exactly 100 miles f^om Iboume. It well bears the title of the " Golden City." In the early days, the gold-yielding irs of Ballarat were simply marvellous. No district in the world produced so much gold snch a short space of time. It has been stated that, in many instancea, " claims," not more 8 feet square and about the same depth, yielded from £10,000 to £12,000 each. At the ice Begent mine, men made as much as £16,000 each for a few months' work. At one claim, ibful of dirt yielded £3,325. The "Welcome Nugget," found in 1858, was sold for £10,500. days have gone, but Ballarat, aa it is now, is still more wonderful than when gold was, in truth, " more plentiful than blackberriea," when it was " scattered a thousand times like seeds the earth." Anthony TroUope, some thirteen years ago, said with justice, of Ballarat, that ick him with more surprise than any city in Australia, that "in point of architectural lUence, and general civilized city comfort, it is certainly the metropolis of tho Australian gold Sturt Street, the principal thoroughfare, is a mile and a half long, 200 feet wide, and has le row of trees in the centre. The principal buihlings on either side are the City Hall, Post Mechanics' Institute, banks, theatre, hospital, and several large churches. The population *,000. The reservoirs from which the water supply is obtained have a storage capacity of >000,000 gallons. These works cost £800,000. Lake Wendouree now adds to the charming t of the city ; hundreds of small yachts, miniature steamers, and rowing boats in numbera on the lake, which is stocked with perch, trout, and carp. The Botanical Gardens, on tho It side of the lake, are prettily laid out and well kept. The finest wool in the world is pro- near Ballarat, ond on Sir William Clarke's estate, a few miles from the town, and on the farms in the forest of Bungaree splendid crops are grown. Ballarat, of which a picture be seen close to the Golden Arch in the Victoria Court, is now not only "a city of gold," an important inland centre. A charming picture of Ballarat as it appeared in 1851 ia in the Fine Arta Section of the Victoria Gourta, and a comparison with the view of the 1886 will show ita remarkable progreaa.

In 1851, thortly after the flnt gold diaooTerj, Sandhurst wm found to eontain that precious metal in saoh abundance that in a sliort time it became famons for the number of its immense nuggets, the best known of which was the "Victoria Nugget," which was bought hj the Yiotorian Ooverment and presented to Her Majesty. In 1872 Bandhurst took rank as a principal Victorian city. It is certainly equal to any European city of tiie same size. The most prominent buildings are the Masonic Hall, the Town Hall, and hospital, together with a very fine theatre. The streets of Sandhurst are beautifully planted with English trees, the cool diade of which la as pleasant to visitors as to the residents. In the centre of the town is a puUio fernery known as "Rosamond's Bower." I*all Mall is the principal busineu thoroughfare. The streets liave a total length of about 100 miles. Bandhurst is rich in other ways besides gold. The district produces yearly more than 1,000,000 bushels of grain, 17,000 tons of hay, and some 100,000 gallons of good wine. Fruits of all kinds grow most luxuriantly in the TOlcanio soil. An excellent panoramic view of Sandhnnt as shown close to the gold arch of Victoria. Schools of Mines have been established at Sandhurst and Ballarat, to which are attached museums, containing geological and technological specimens, models of mining machinery and mining plant, sections of mines, and geological maps and plans. At these schools instruction is given not only in the various branches of science connected with mining operations, in the theory and practice of mining and safe conduct of mining works, mining surveying and mining engineering, but also in many other subjects not necessarily connected with mining. Stiidenti at ,the Sandhurst school number about 880, and at the Ballarat school abont 600. The nnnnsl income of the two institutions is about £5,900, of which all but £1,900 is granted by Oovemment. Schools of Design have also been established at twenty-fivo other places in Victoria, in connexion with a Royal Commission for promoting technological and industrial instmction. There an over 2,800 pupils on the rolls of these schools. An exhibition of the works of pupils is held yearly in Melbourne, and local exhibitions are held in other towns. Oeelong, which takes rank as fourth in Victorian cities, is picturesquely situated in Corio Bay. At one time it was thought it would continue to rival Melbourne, and from its fine harlK)ur, position, and rich back country there was a good foundation for the idea. But an ides it remains, aUhough Oeelong is ever ready to come to the front. Some important woollen factories are situated here, and " Geelong tweeds " are celebrated in tho colonics. There is no danger of any " Mississippi wool " getting into this fabric. In the Western District of Victoiii there are many important towns, Warmambool being the chief centre as well as an important shipping port. Belfast and Portland rank next to Warmambool as sea-port towns. Hamilton, nearer to the South Australian border, is the capital of a fine pastoral district. In the east. Sale is the chief town in Gippsland, an extensive and prosperous division of the Colony, which mi discovered by Mr. Angus MacMillan in 1839. Echuca, on the Murray, is the principal city ii I the North of Victoria. In the old days this was a crossing-place for stock fk'om New Sontt I Wales. From Echuca there is a vast river trafiQc During the winter months, when the I Murray's waters are swelled by the thousand tributaries from the Australian Alps, steamers plj I to Albnry on tho one hand, and to South Australia, New South Wales, and far inland rivers odI thu other. Echuca, a river-port, is only second to Melbourne in tho amount of its shippiiif I tonnage inwards and outwards. Castlemainc, Btanwoll, Maryborough, Kyneton, Harailtoal j^arrnambool, and Horsham, arc all handsome Victorian towns; these, with the names ofil number of ottiers, Iwing shown in the Court. It is but 50 years since the first settlement was made in Victoria; now it possesses a millki| of inhabitants. Melbourne, its capital, is the largest city in the Southern hemisphere, ihl population being 320,000. The country is traversed by a network of 1,700 miles of railway, aiiii| dotted with prosperous townships. Its imports are valued at £20,201,633, its exports ill £16,050,403. Last year gold yielded 778,618 oz. ; pastoral produce about £10,000,000; agricni-l tural produce £6,500,000, Manufacturing interests have been fostered in the capital and otiia| towns of the Colony ; the yearly value of manufactured goods is computed at £18,500,000. Tba are State schools and churches and newspapers everywhere — of the latter, five "dailies' Vidoria. 181 Helbonne. The Colony poMenes tn ObservAtory and • GoTernment Aitronomer, who, like the QoTerument Botaniet, ia a loientUt of world-wide repute. Yiotoria haa alw a military and naval foioe, and the ihorea are well protected. Viotoriana are proud of their Oolony, but they are aiao poud of being Anitraliana of Britiah blood. More than 95 per cent of the Victorian population if Britiah, or of Britiah parentage, and England and Great Britain are yet apoken of aa ** home," •ad in apite of the eatabliahment of the Melbourne Uuivenity, which granta every degree except thoM in Divinity, a large number of Victorian youtha are yearly tent "home" to aohool and oollege (partly, it ia aaid, beonuM the examination! are much easier there). That tlte Britiah moe in Viotoria dooa not auffor deterioration ia amply proved by the fact that in each of the University boats 'in the memorable struggle of the 8rd of April last waa a Victorian bom oarsman; Mr. S. Fairbairn, who rowed No. 5 for Cambridge, and Mr. Bobertson, who pulled No. 3 in the Oxford boat. On several previous occasions Victorian natives have occupied similar positions, while as members of various Australian elevens, they have well maintained the liouour of their adopted home in the cricket field. Tliere ia room for many of the Britisli race ; for although, by the aide of the flooka and herda of the squatter, one sees the com- flelds and potato-patchea of the amall famier, and the vineyards of the wine-maker, thero i( plenty of forest yet to be cleared and good land to bo cultivated. Tiiore is a tendency in Victoria, as in all tho colonies, to centralization in the cities and townsbipa, the urban popu- lation amounting to more tlian half the population of the whole Colony. The factories and meobanioal trades absorb - perhapa too large a proportion of our youth. Girls, too, prefer to work sewing-machines in the clothing warehouses to domestic service, although they would find the latter a better paid and easier employment. The immigrants most welcomed in Victoria will be female servants and country labourers, men who can fight churlish Nature, or train her in softer moods, as the early pioneers of the Colony did. To the early pioneers of Viotoria may be traced much of the spirit of enterprise and perseverance which has always characterised the Colony. From Honty and Batman and Fawkner and Bobertson, to the men of the last decade, farmer or sailor, or trader or miner, they were all the very salt of the earth. During the gold fever, the brains and the blood,. the mental courage, IS well as the bone and muscle, of Europe flocked thither ; and the fittest survived. Victoria has ever been essentially a pioneer Colony. It owed nothing to Government aid ; in fact its tarly prosperity was retarde 1 Lt r! > I 184 Vietona. 8ABSB, MISS HABBIBT M.

Thb aim of this preface ia to give to tbe British pnblio, in » oonoiae manner, aome information teipecting one of England's great Antipodean Colonies. The importance of the Australian Httlements is apparent to anyone who has visited them, or who from a distance has had occasion to make himself acquainted with their advancement in national wealth, or to contemplate their I immense natural resources — which at present are only in the infancy of development. The vast proportion of the British public, however, know little of Australia— the "Greater Britain" of tlie Southern seas— and it is hoped that the Handbook distributed by the South Australian Commission will be helpful in disseminating practical information of service to all who are ioterested in the triumphs of British oolonisation, but particularly to those who may contemplate & removal from the crowded populations of the United Kingdom to the attractive fields presented by Britain's Colonies. It will not be the privilege of the writer to draw upon a rich historic past for the story he has to tell. There may be open to him no daring military achievements to invest his story with the glory of national renown; there may be no venerable institutions or relics, with inspirations of reverence and wonder; and there may be no magnificent literature to command the attention or awaken the interest of the student and the scholar. Scarcely fifty years have passed since South Australia was proclaimed a British Colony, and yet the record of this half-century is full of interest to all I wiio care to note the advancement of the Anglo-Saxon stock. The bold enterprise, the indomitable I pluck, the dogged perseverance, and the love of freedom, which form such striking characteristics ■ of the English race, have been called into full operation in the peaceful subjugation of {primeval wastes to the service of man and their rapid transformation into a hive of human ry. Few pages in the history of British colonisation are fuller of interest than those which I record the establishment and growth of these countries in the Southern Hemisphere, that are Iraguely known in Europe under the generic name of " Australia." The story of how a handful I of Britons have, within the cycle of a century, founded countries that are rivalling Old World I nations in wealth and power and in the elegances of advanced civilisution ia instructive and linspiriting. It speaks of the vigour and genius of the old stock re-asserting itself in the younger Irtrength and ardent effort of the ofi'shoots ; and it shows how the same characteristics of courage, liigBcity, perseverance, industry, and prudence, which have made England what she is, are ■operating in the development of these daughter-nations under the Southern Cross. In these Ipages special attention will be drawn to one of the seven Colonies that form the Australasian iposseasions of Great Britain — The Province of South Australia. In the year 1881, Captain Sturt — one of the earliest Australian explorers — discovered the jgteat River Murray, which runs down into South Australia, and empties itself into the Southern ; and, on bis return to Sydney, gave a glowing report of the fertile country he had seen Itt a distance, but was unable to explore. In the early part of the same year a few gentlemen Imet in London to discuss the propriety of founding, on the southern shores of Australia, a Colony lopon principles which at that time were advanced principles of Political Economy. Tho Ipromoters opened up negotiations with the Innperial Government, but were not successful, and Ithe project fell through. The matter was not, however, allowed to slumber veiy long. In 1831 |the project was renewed, and in June of tliat year a meeting of gentlemen was held at Exeter Hall, ■London, to discuss the principles upon which the proposed settlement should be founded. Just at Ithat time a scheme of colonisation propounded by Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield was attracting V^Qtion. That gentleman, thoughtfully observing the course of evOnts in the other Australian Clonics, had come to the conclusion that land without the operation of capital and labour was eless. He sought to give a fixed price to land; to provide that land should only be sold, and Kit disposed of by free grants ; and to apply the proceeds of waste lands to the cost of importing ; ^ , (• \\, '■^ \, ', jf' 1' i 1 1' 1 Xfl '«n :'H1 a i i\ 210 South Auatralia. u labour from the crowded oltiei and towni of the United Kingdom. Theae prinoiplei commended themnlvei to the promoten, who in 1884 •ecured tho pawing of an Act by the Imperial Legislature anthorisiDg the Sovereign to erect one or more proTinoea in that part of Auttralia lying between the 182nd and 141it meridian! of eaat longitude, and between the Southern Ocean and the 26th degree of wuth latitude. To the person* who ahould reside within the said province or provinces was accorded iVeedom of action— they were not to be subject to the law or or'«>*Uution of any other part of Australia; and furthermore it was provided — and the saga* tho originators in this respect is worthy of mention — that no criminals should at any tin. . . under any circumstances be transported to any place within the limits described. The curse of oonvictism therefore has never attached itself to the Province of South Australia. The first Commissioners appointed under the Act were eight in number— viz., Colonel Torrena, F.B.S. (Chairman), and Messrs. W. A. Maokinnon, M.P., Jacob Monteflore, W. Hutt, M.P., Qw. Palmer, Jun., John Wright, Qeo. Fife Angas, and Samuel Mills. Only one of thoao Conunissionen survives, and it is an interesting circumstance that this survivor — Mr. Jacob Monteflore — is one of the Hon. Commissioners for South Australia at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London in 1886. To him— in his advanced age — it must be a source of deep gratification that ho has been spared to see a Colony, in the inception of which he took a deep personal interest, qualified' to honourably take her position among the colonies of Britain in tho interesting and important Exhibition before referred to. The project of colonisation, however, almost proved abortive. The Imperial Act provided that a sum of £35,000 must bo raised before the powers given under the Act could be cxercieed, and the scheme hung firo. Just then, however, the late Mr. George Fife Angas, who was one of the Commissioners, came to the rescue. He formed an association known as *"^he South Australian Company," and resigning his commissionership, he assumed the cluiirm)> > of the company. This company subscribed the balance of capital required, and the scheme < isation proceeded. The late Sir James Hurtle Fisher was appointed Besident Commibo. m tlie Colony, and tho late Colonel Light was sent out, as first Surveyor-General, to chooso a site fur the capital, and push on the survey of the Lnd for settlers. In August, 1836, Colonel Light arrived at Kangaroo Island, and thence be proceeded to the mainland east of St. Vincent's Gulf, where he commenced his work, and selected the present site of the capital — Adelaide. In the following December the first Governor of South Australia — Captain Hindmarsh, B.N. — arrived and took possession of the land in the name of the Sovereign of England, on the 28th December, 1836, the anniversary of which day is always closely kept as a public holiday. Since the jproclamation of the Province South Austmlia has witnessed many changes in fortune, but through all her vicissitudes she has made substantial advancement. Some of the other Colonies have attained wealth and importance by the discovery of rich goldfiolds, tho development of which has enormously increased their resources, besides attracting — as fev other discoveries have the power of doing — a large and able-bodied population from a distance. These resources of wealth and population, springing from adventitious ciroumstancci, have made the progress of some of the other Australian provinces quite phenomenal iu its character. The advancement of South Australia, on the other hand, has been achieved by patience, endurance, industry, and enterprise. Although rich goldfields have not boon discovered, gold is found in many parts of the Colony, and the many productive copper mines have poured out great mineral wealth. Indeed, on more than one occasion South Australia has made onwani progi«ss, due to tho rich yields of copper from the far-famed Kapunda, Burra Burra, Moonia, | Wallaroo, and other mines. South Australia is, with the single exception of Western Australia, tho largest in area of the Australian Colonies, and it stretches across the whole island continent from south to norlli. Iu I southern shnif s are washed by the Southern Ocean, whilst the waters of the Indiim Ocean lare its northern coasts. It touches all the mainland Colonies of Australia, being contiguous to Xew South Wales, Victoria and Queensland on the east, and is bounded on tho west by the extensive Colony of Western Australia, extending {torn lat. 38" to 26°, between the 129tli and 141st merij dian of east long., and from lat. 26° to the northern coast, between the 129th and 139th meridi8ni.| Bunning right up through the centre of Australia, it covers an area extending ttom latitude 3$'| to latitude 11°, and from the 129th to tho 141st meridians of east longitude. Twice since tlitl establishment of the Colony its limits have been extended.

The area of South Aiutralia (including tho Northern Territory) is 578,361,600 acres, an area which affords " ample scopo and verge enough " for an oxteniiive population. At tlio present date (January, 1886) 10,642,068 acres have been alienated ; tlie remainder being available for agricultural, pastoral, and mineral settlement. The area of mineral land, or land held undor mineral lease, is comparatively small ; so that, tdughly speaking, the whole province may bo divided into country of two classes — agricultural and pastoral land. Of the alienated land, a very large proportion is devotcil to agriculture, hortioultiure, viticulture, market gardening, and like purposes, whilst tho balance is used almost exclusively for raising sheep and cattlo. Tho liberalisation of the land laws, sorao years ago, gave an enormous stimulus to agricultural settlement, so that the area now undor wheat is immensely larger than it was. The following information is from tho Statistical Register for 1884, the latest official record. The increase of population during the year was, by births 7058, by immigration 1208, making the total number on the 31gt of December 312,781 persons, composed of 164,877 males, and 147,904 females. In 1875 the population was 210,442, and in 1880 it was 267,573. During tho year 1884, 356 foreigners obtained letters of naturalisation, and tli< rcby became British subjects ; of these 44 were Russians, 136 Qermans, 114 Chinese, and the ottitrs made up of various nation- alities. The proportion of births per thousand of the population was 37 '69, the proportion of marriages 9*40 per thoiisand, and the proportion of deaths 16*24 per thousand. The area of land alienated from the Crown iu 1884 was 10,767,605 acres. In 1875 it was httlo over 6,000,000 acres. The area under cultivation was, in 1875, 1,444,586 acres ; in 1884, 2,785,490 acres. The area of land enclosed in 1875, 20,286,007 acres ; in 1884, 53,444,411 acres. The production of wheat, the principal crop, was in 1875, 10,739,834 bushels ; in 1884, 14,621,755 bushels.

The production of wine in 1884 was 473,535 gallons. The value of imports amounted in 1875 to £4,203,802 ; in 1884, £5,749,353. The value of exports amounted in 1875 to £4,805,050 ; in 1884, £6,623,704. The proportion of imports from the United Kingdom in 1884 was £2,983,296, the balance being from other places. The combined import and export trade of the Colony was in 1875, £9,008,851 ; in 1884, £12,373,057. The arrivals of shipping were in 1884 — British, 768,301 tons ; foreign, 141,034 tons ; ^tal, 909,335 tons. The number of vefsels belonging to Fort Adelaide were — in 1875, steamers, 75, tonnage, 7443 ; sailing vessels, 212, tonnage, 24,948. In 1884, steamers, 88, tonnngc, 10,665 ; Bailing vessels, 220, tonnage, 27,931. In 1875 the general revenue of the Colony amounted to £1,143,312; in 1880 it was £2,027,963, and in 1884 it amounted to £2,024,928. The expenditure in 1884 upon public works vas £2,163,149 ; a large proportion was provided from loan funds. The amounts expended by Corporations and District Councils was £114,537. The receipts from Government railways were, during 1884, £424,416. The number of churches or chapels existing in 1884 was 928 ; the number of sittings pro- vided, 200,123; the number of Sunday-schools was 727; teachers, 6729; scholars, 57,311. The number of public schools in 1884 was 227 ; scholars, 42,758 ; persons employed in teaching, 1000. Cost of department, exclusive of expenditure on buildings, £76,879. In addition to these there are 287 private schools with 11,296 scholars. There are over 112 country institutes, Thioh have libraries attached to them containing an aggregate of 98,688 volumes. In the year 1884 there were 1035 miles of railway open for traffic, The total number of pftWengers convoyed since they have been open is 84,194,69?, P 2 1 1 'i>' ..jl I 1 »j 212 Advertisementt.

QUEENSLAND. In December last, the Ck>lony of Queensland completed her twenty-sixth year ; and, as was the case with Victoria, this, the latest-bom of the Australian group, was named after Her Most Gracious Majesty. The scattered 25,000 British subjects who were thus constituted as a separate Colony at the close of 1859, had assigned to them 668,224 square miles (427,663,360 acres) of then almost unknown territory, an area about five-and-a-half times the size of the United Kingdom; and in the subsequent twenty-six years the population has grown up to 325,000, or to thirteen times what it was a quarter of a century ago. Even as it is, the population of Queensland is not one- tenth that of London. But then, the herds of cattle and the flocks of sheep she already possesses would serve to feed two Londons easily ; and firom Queensland sheep, wool is now-a-days clipped to the weight of some 42,472,000 lbs. annually, worth about one-half the entire wool clip of the United Kingdom. Queensland la no longer the string of isolated settlements, surrounded by an unpeopled wilderness, she was in 1860. It is tme that the Government have as yet parted with the fee simple of only about 11,500,000 acres out of the above 427,663,360 ; but a further 316,000,000 acres have been leased as sheep and cattle runs ; and thus it is that the. Colony is no longer lying idle in any direction. If the people are scanty, the Colony is in possession of 4,162,000 cattle (a considerably laiger total than is in the possession of aU the other Australian Colonies put together) and of 8,994,000 sheep ; while the horses number 25^,116. Here of itself there is oocupatic^ for a large and rapidly increasing population. When Queensland was established in 18C0, her population was less than one-third that of Tasmania, and only one-fifth that of South Australia ; but though both these other Australian Colonies have grown steadily, Queensland has now passed them. It will be shown that Queensland possesses other exceptional sources of wealth besides her cattle and sheep runs ; and the development of her resources in this vast territory has resulted in a great and increasing flow of British capital and labour into the Colony. But labour in the Old Country has not the means of conveying itself to the New ; and so the €k>vemment and inhabitants of the Colony have together expended about £3,000,000 (including £1,065,000 in the past four years) in assisting the working classes to the Colony. In fact, Queensland at the present time assists a larger number of emigrants from Great Britain than all the rest of Australasia put together. Yet not so very mac^ years ago it was thought that much of this north-east quarter of Australia was unsuitable for European settlement. The present town of Bockhampton has been built just within the Tropic of Capricorn ; and whereas at no point does Queensland extend so much as 400 miles to the southward of this tropic. Cape York, the most northerly point of the Colony, is more than 800 miles within it, and a good deal of the low-lying land is tropical in the character of its vegetation. But a short distance inland there are long ranges of mountains, often stretching down to the coast, and attaining an elevation at times of 6000 ft. ; and it is largely owing to the proximity of this elevated country that the winter may almost be described as bracing, with oftentimes sharp frosts at night. The summer may be regarded as the rainy season, especially within the tropics, and is naturally hot ; but Queensland possesses this advantage over Southern Australia, that even in winter the vegetation is not altogether arrested; while a northerly wind in summer will render both Adelaide and Melbourne hotter than Brisbane is. At Brisbane I the average temperature is 70", the maximum temperature in 1884 being 102°, and the minimum 40°, las compared with 105*6°, and 30*2° in Melbourne, and with 110° and 35° in Adelaide. The sea IbieeMB in summer also tend to keep the coast without excessive heat ; and though to the west of I the mountain ranges a higher range of temperature is experienced, it is not hotter than in tho I western areas of New South Wales. It may here be remarked that after about 200 miles from tlie I eastern coast, the rivers are either found to flow north-west Into the Gulf of Carpentaria, or south- I west into the Darling Biver, or into Central South Australia. With the exception of the Murray, lit may be said that moat of the longest and finest rivers in Australia take their rise in Queensland ; I and not a few of them, like the Fitzroy, Brisbane, Bnrdekin, Mitchell, Gilbert, Norman, Flinders, Wn -I ||ti j 232 Qtieetuland. and LeiohlwnU rivcra, are aituatcd wholly in Queensland. With regard to the Darling, it muy bo said that its navigation depends almost entirely upon the rainfall in Southern Queensland. All along Iho east coast of tropical Queensland at a varying distance, but seldom many miles from shore, there stretches the Great Barrier Beef, interspersed with numberless coral islets, and thus the force of the waves from the Pacific is broken. The entire eastern coast lino is most picturcsquo, with a succession of islands, bold headlands and harbours, and with the lofty ranges of the maiuland seldom out of sight. But in strong contrast with this is the coast-line of the Qulf of Carpentaria, which is everywhere flat, and for some distance inland unattractive and often swampy. It is said that every kind of temperate and tropical product can be grown in Queensland. Upon the Downs, wheat, oats, and barley flourish, and are grown for hay and green-food for cattle, as well as for grain. But a decidedly larger area is devoted to maize, from which an average crop of about 25 bushels per acre is obtained. Both English and sweet potatoes are cultivated; the growth and make of sugar is now represented by upwards of 55,900 tons manufactured ; the arrowroot grown in 1S84 was 574,768 lbs. ; and tobacco, cofiieo, cotton, oranges, peaches, grapes, pine-apples, bananas, and English fruit are also cultivated. The fruit it has been found impossible to bring for exhibition here, but sugar is extensively shown; and it will be seen it bears comparison with the products of the West Indies and the Mauritius. So also are coffee, tobacco, rice, wheat and flour, arrowroot, and cassava. Then, too, there is Queensland rum, preparations from Queens- land Eucalypti, and hundreds of exhibits of Queensland timbers, some manufactured, othei-s varnished, and others yet again in the rough. These will serve in a measure to show the numerous descriptions of vegetable products raised in Queensland. They already give employment to a considerable population, and the agricultural resources of the Colony will in time be ^atly extended. But no reference has yet been made to the Queensland mines. These are of altogether exceptional richness, and have yet to be developed. The mineral ooUeotions shown by the Government, as well as by private enterprise, are of a very complete character. Gold ores and quartz ( f all descriptions, silver and silver-lead ores, coal, tin, copper, manganese, chrome iron ore, plumbago, stone from Queensland quarries, and clay and shale are all of them represented ; and there is no section of the Australian continent so rich in regard to minerals as Queensland is. Thus, as regards gold ; — Quartz cniBbed in 1884. Gold obUined. Average prr ton. Tom. OM. ozs. dwta. grt. Queensland 148,552 259,254 1 14 21 Victoria » 876,691 432,997 0 9 21 New South Wales 62,759 82,979 0 14 10 New Zealand (ISSO)". 98,460 84,181 0 17 12 This is sufficient to show that the richness of the Queensland quartz is far in excess of that in the other Colonies ; and it may be mentioned that, in all, some 600 or 700 tons of Queensland gold quartz have been sent home for exhibition, either in the Queensland Court, or for crushing and treating by the gold-reduction machinery. The Charters, Towers, and Gympie gold fields have now been connected with the coast by railway, and the extensions in progress will bring a further large extent of auriferous country within access of the port. Quite as iinportant are the sanctioned railway extensions to the great tin and silver deposits at Herberton, and to the copper nines of Cloncurry. It is the opinion of the Government geologist that the Cloncurry copper lodes arc the richest yet diecovered in Australia, if not in the world ; but a railway of 230 miles is requisite to connect them with the gulf of Carpentaria, and as yet the Colony places but little copper in the market. In 1883 the value was £30,872, and it was less in 1884, works being practically at a standstill until railway communications are in a more advanced state.

At the port of shipment, however, it was £228,457, and the addition fairly indicates the importance of improved communications. The value of the galena (silver-lead) raised in 1884 was £35,327; and this description of mining enterprise is also destined largely to extend, as the ores are very rich in silver. As yet, the qiiantities of antimony and manganese worked are not large; but the coal mines of Queensland in 1884 yielded 120,727 tons, and this is a description of mining to which it is impossible to assign limits. At present almost the whole of this coal is raised in the Ipswich district, whence there is direct railway communica- tion with Brisbane ; but there is good coal at Maryborough and at other places, specimens of which are now being exhibited here. In this particular New South Wales and Queensland are placed at a considerable advantage over the rest of Australia, in which coal is wanting. A good deal of building stone is now being raised from Queensland quarries, including bluestone, free- stone, and some marble. It may be safely asserted that the world is destined to hear a great deal more of Queensland mining enterprise, possessing as she does all the most important known metals and minerals in great abundance. Public works, including railways, telegraphs, roads and bridges, harbour and river improve- ments, and reservoirs for securing water supply during dry seasons, have been pressed forward 08 rapidly as is consistent with the influx of labour and capital. It has been pointed out that the Government debt of Queensland now averaging £60 per head is as high, measured in this way, aa that of any country in the world, and a great deal higher than that of the mother country. But this is an altogether misleading statement, for the debt of Queensland has been incurred, almost the whole of it, upon reproductive works, and in fulfilling the duties of the ground landlord ; and the effect of this upon the revenue is shown in the following figures : — Queensland United Kingdom .

Tin is The debt, iu fact, is incurred with the direct object of increasing the contributions to revenue, I and at the same time opening up a territory of 1200 miles long by 900 miles broad to the outer world. In Queensland there is not the same tendency to concentrate at one centre as there is at Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide ; consequently along the large extent of coast line (2250 miles), there are a number of important ports— Brisbane, Ivockhampton, Townsville, Maryborough, Port I Douglas, Mackay, Thursday Island, Cooktown, Bundaberg, Cairns, Gladstone, and Normanton (on I the Gulf of Carpentaria), being the twelve principal, and ranking about in the order named. The I present population of Brisbane approaches 50,000; that of Bockhampton is about 12,000; Mary- I borough, 11,000; Townsville, 10,000; Ipswich, about 8000; and Toowoomba, 6000. The lleading exports are wool, gold, sugar, tin, hides and skins, pearl-shell, tallow, live-stock, preserved Imeat, beche-de-mer, and silver ore ; while the imports mainly consist of British manufactures. iThe total value of the external trade of Queensland imports and exports, which in 1860 was |£I,267,500, has now risen until in 1884 it reached £11,055,840. At the present time there are 1407 miles of railway in operation in the Colony, and a further onsiderable mileage under construction ; there are 11,636 miles of telegraph wire — which is more jlhan in any other Australasian Colony, except New South Wales ; there are 425 State schools, rith 1161 teachers ; the banking deposits to the 30th September, 1885, were £6,915,763, apart om the £1,340,255 in the hands of the Government savings banks at the end of the year. These I statistics of a miscellaneous characteir, but the^ all testify to the growth fVQd vig;ou7 of this Jonthfnl Colony. ii f 1 234 AdverttsenienU. a: BltebUahed ISSa.

Queensland Commissioners' Exhibits of Indigenous Timber and other Forest Products comprise an extensive collection of 427 exhibits in book-block, plank, and veneer. Some few remarks are necessary to account for what otherwise might be considered as defects in some of the samples. These defects are principally noticeable in the plank exhibits, several of which will be found to have slightly cracked or split at the ends ; for this, allowance will readily be made by practical men when informed that in no case has time been allowed for seasoning, neither could advantage be taken of the proper period for felling the trees. It must be borne in mind that this collection had to be got together hurriedly, leaving no time even for selecting the most suitable tree ; thus, the first to hand was felled, and a four-feet length of the stem forvarded to the estabiishment in Brisbane, where all the e;..hibits were immediately prepared. This will account also for the stains observable in several of the softer woods, which, being fiill of sap when out, became discoloured before reachiupr their destinution — ^in some coses nearly 2,000 miles from their local habitat. Although many of the kinds are in sufficient quantity to allow of being exported, this display of the colony's woods has been prepared rather with a view to point out to intending emigrants and others that Queensland possessed in her indigenous vegetation woods suitable for all and every kind of work. , Class 43.

Thu Colony cmbraoM nearly one-thiid of the AmtiaUaa Continent, oompriaing all that poitlon westward of 129° E. longitude, and is the nearest of the AoBtralaaian gronpe to England, fimm which it ia distant 10,950 miles. Its area is oter a million square milea^ or about eight timea that of the United Kingdom. It possesses a population of about 35,000, principally looatM within 100 miles of the sea cost Western Australia is a Crown Colony, the Oovernment being administered by a OoTemor appointed by the Colonial OfQoe, and assisted by EzeontiTe and LegislatiTe Councils, the Legislative Council consisting of the members of the EzeoutiTe Councii, with the exception of the Colonial Treasurer, four nominees of the Governor, and sixteen elected members. The climate is one of the most salubrious and enjoyable in the world. Even in the tropical northern districts the heats are counterbalanced by nocturnal sea breezes. The annual average death-rate from 1865 to 1882 was 15*13 per thousand, while that of Great Britain for the same period was 21*55. The mean annual rainfall at Perth is 32*73 inches for the past nine years, and the mean temperature 65° Fahrenheit On the whole, the meteorological conditions have been compared with those of the south of Europe. The chief products are wool, timber, pearls and pearl-shells, lead, copper, horses, &e. The export of wool for 1885 was estimated at £248,400; that of timber at £67,650, and £36,216 for sandalwood; pearls and pearl-shells, £58,496; lead ore, £3255; copper ore, £1792; horses, £10,475. The returns of stock in the Colony showed— horses, 34392 ; cattle, 70,408 ; sheep, 1,702,719 ; goats, 4529 ; pigs, 24,200. Cereals, grapes, oranges, lemons, and other fruits grow abundantly. The vine grows luxuriantly in the southern portions of the Colony, and as population increases, there will in all probability be a large export of vrine, raisins, &o. There are 687 acres of vineyards in the Colony. Altogether at present 77,728 acres of land are under cultivation, the yield per acre for 1885 being,— wheat 11} bushels, barley 14} bushels, oats 14| bushels, maize 12} bushels, hay 1 ton, potatoes 2} tons. Horses, bullocks, and sheep are exported to Singapore. Among the timber trees are the sandalwood, occupying large forests in the southern districts; jarrah, extending over some 14,000 mUes, and largely exported to India, South Australia, and New Zealand, recently also to England ; karri, white gum, &c. Gold has been recently discovered in the Kimberley District in the extreme north. Copper and lead minea have been worked for aome years in the Champion Bay Diatrict The prinpipal towna in the Colony and tiie number of their inhabitants are— Perth, about 7000; Freemantle, about 5000; Albany, about 1000 : Geraldton, about 1000; York, about 800; Bnnbnry, about 600; Guildford, about 600. About one-third of the entire population of the Colony ia therefore located in Perth and Fremantle. There are amaller townahipa acattered throughout the Colony, viz., Northampton, Buaaelton, Bridgetown, Pinjarra, Beverley, Northam, Newcaatle, Gingin, Chidlow'a Well, Carnarvon, Coaaaok, Iioel>oume, Derby, Kojonup, Moorum- bme, Bockingham, &c., &c. Perth, the capital of the Colony, ia beautifully aituated on the right bank of the Swan Biver estuary, 12 milea from Fremantle, where the river debouchea into the aea. A railway oonnecta Perth with Fremantle, the port, and York in the interior, a total length of 90 milea. Government Schoola exiat all over the Colony, and are managed by tho Diatrict Boarda. Awlited aohoola, by dilferent denominationa, haying granta-in-aid from Colonial ftmda, as well aa a aohool in Perth for the higher education of boys. The amount expended on Education for 1885 was £10,244. There ia a High School for girla, under the direction of the Angliow Bishop, and another conducted by the Bistera of Mercy, both aitoated in Perth. 254 Wuiem Autttalia. STATISnOB TOR 1886.

The species of bee from which this honey is derived was imported into the Colony, within the last twenty years. To such an extent have they multiplied that they are now to be found over a very great extent of forest land and scrub. It is reported that swarms have been seen 150 mUes to the eastward of Perth. Owing to the plentifulness of flowering trees and shrubs, all rich in honey, the bees are never at any time of the year in want of food, and at the extraordinary rate they are increasing there is every probability that ere very long a lucrative pursuit may arise in the collection of wild honey and wax. The climate being so favourable, hives are robbed twice a year, viz., in September and February. 316. BUNBUBY LOCAL OOM- mTTEE.— (316) Honey. 317.

In 1875, however, a Colonial Act waa pasMd abolishing the whole provincial Bystem ; and in the following year another Act was passed making provision for tho division of the Colony into counties, and for machinery for their local self-government Tho provincial system was thus eliminated from the general scheme of the Constitution of New Zealand ; but that scheme, so far as it relates to the general government of the Colony, still conforms to the leading lines as originally drawn. The whole tendency of the Imperial anthoritiea has been, for the last thirty years, to give the Colony absolute self-government in its domestic matters. The control of native affairs, and the entire responsibility of dealing with them, wore transfened in 1863 firom the Imperial to the Colonial Government ; and the usage of responsible government, on the English model, is in full force. The following traditional account of the origin of the native race is from the pen' of the late Sir Donald McLean, onoe Native Minister, one of the best authorities on the subject : — " There is not any record as to the origin of the Maori race. Its arrival in New Zealand is, according to tradition, due to an event which, firom its physical possibility, and from the concurrent testimony of the various tribes, is probably true in its main facts. " The tradition runs that, generations ago, a large migration took place from an island in the Pacific Ocean, to which the Maoris give the name of Hawaiki, quarrels amongst the natives having driven from it a chief whose onnoe arrived upon the shores of New Zealand. Returning to his home with a flattering description of the country he had discovered, this chief, it is said, set on foot a scheme of emigration ; and a fleet of large double-canoes started for the new land. The names of the canoes are still remembered ; and it is related that the immigrants brought with them the kumen, the tare, seeds of the karaka tree, dogs, parrots, the pukeko, or red-billed swamp hen, &o. Strong evidence that there is truth in this reported exodus is supplied by the facts that each tribe agrees in its account of the doings of the principal ' canoes ' — ^that is, of the people who came in them — after their arrival in New Zealand ; and that there is also agreement in tracing from each * canoe 'the descent of the numerous tribes whioh have spread over the islands. Calculations, based on the genealogical sticks kept by the tohnngas, or priests, have been made that about twenty generations have passed since this mi- gration, which would indicate the date to be about the beginning of the fifteenth century. The position of Hawaiki is not known, hn* ;here are several islands of a somewhat similar name." The natives were naturally warlike. Their inter-tribal wars, before Europeans came into the country, were incessant ; and their customs in warfare were savage and ferocious. Cannibalism was common. But, as a race, they had intellectual qualities, and their minds were receptive and capable of expansion. The first missionary, the Bev. Samuel Marsden, Colonial Chaplain to the Government of New South Wales, landed with some companions at the Bay of Islands, in New Zealand, in 1814, and commenced mission work. Subsequently, Protestant and Boman Catholic Missions were established throughout the country, and, in the course of thirty or forty years, they efiTeoted a religious conversion of almost the whole race. The conversion was, no doubt, to a considerable extent, nominal, but the moral and social reform effected was real and national. In 1874, there was a serious relapse from Christianity among the Maoris. A new religion, called JSau-Aau (from the sound of a frequent ejaculation in their prayers), sprung up, and was a mixture of old superstitions with a perversion of the Old TestMnent. It was accepted as a national faith by the tribes in rebellion against the British Sovereignty ; but it almost wholly subsided when the rebellion came to an end. Physically, the natives are middle-sized and well- fi)rmed. The skin is of an olive-brown colour, and the hair is generally black. Their voices are pleasant, and, when not under warlike excitement, their gestures are graceful and dignified. They possess wonderful memories, and are natural orators. They have always recognized among themselves tribal tenure of land ; and each tribe holds communally, among its various sections, lands, forests, cultivations, and fisheries, the respective boundaries of whioh are well known among the tribes generally. The geographical position and physical features of the islands produce great variety and remarkable valubrity of climate, resembling that of Great Britain, but with a drier and more clastic atmosphere, and the extremes of didly temperature only vary throughout the year by an average of 20°, whilst London is 7° colder than the North, and 4° colder than the South Island of New Zealand. The mean annual temperature of the different seasons for the whole Colony is, in spring 55°, in summer 63°, in autumn .'>7°, and in winter 48°.

The progiess made in igrioulture has been very rapid, and the number of persons engaged in this pnrsuit is, as compared with other countries, very large, more than one in every five of the adnlt male population being in this way possessed of a permanent stake in the country. Wool is undoubtedly the most important production of New Zealand, its value in export tpproaohing nearly treble that of gold. The soil and climate of New Zealand are very suitable for the long-woolled sheep of Great Britain who improve by the change ; the length of the wool ig increased, and all its valuable properties preserved, owing doubtless to the genial climate and absence of exposure to the extremes of an English temperature. The early attempts to apply the freezing process for the carriage of fresh meat ttom South America and Australia by using ice, or freezing mixtures of ice and salt, failed ; but now thedifaonlties are overcome. Carcases of sheep are now frozen to stony hardness immediately they are slaughtered in New Zealand, and then carried to tho ship, and there stowed in refrigerated chambers, and thus brought to England in the same state of stony hardness as that originally produced. The appre- oistionof New Zealand frozen meat in England is steadily advancing, and the increasing facilities for its distribution in town and country, bring it to the doors of a very large number of consumers. Theestablishment of Dairy Factories throughout the Colony is remarkably increasing, and there is a large manufacture of cheese. Biscuits, soap, leather, breweries, bootmaking, and woollen manufacture are also established industries. Tliere were, in 1881, when the last census was taken, 99 breweries, employing about 600 men, and producing about 5,000,000 gallons of beer. The boot factories during the same year numbered 31, employing about 1,800 hands, and prdueed 280,000 pairs of boots and shoes. Six mills for woollen manufacture are now in operation, and the amount of wool manufactured in 1884 was about 1,600,000 lbs. Other woollen factories are'about to start, two being near completion. The building of carriages and other Tehioles, shipbuilding, the manufacture of agricultural implements, and works for machinery and manufacturing requisites, are considerable industries. Eighty-three registered steamers have been built in the Colony, and, with few exceptions, their engines were also made there. Eight iron steam dredgers, the largest being 70-horse power, and heavy cranes, one being a 40-ton travelling jib-crane, have been wholly built] by local hands. In brass and copper works New Zealand took all the principal prizes at the Sydney and Melbourne Exhibitions. Some of the small industries of the Colony may be mentioned ; they are, manufacture of tobacco and cigars, blacking, confectionery, paper, aerated waters, jam, essences, perfumery, and writing ink. There are two paper mills producing brown and wrapping papers, and some printing paper. There is abundant supply of water everywhere obtainable. Probably there is no single ■pot in either island ten miles from a permanent water supply, and the places where the distance la even half as much are few and far between. Both as regards agriculture and manufactures the importance of this supply cannot be overrated. Gold-miping is still in its infancy, and only awaits the judicious application of capital for its development to a vast extent. Alluvial mining is carried over an area of about 20,000 square miles ; and that kind which is carried on in thick deposits of gravel, by means of wnter-runs and engineering works, is likely to give the means of profitable employment to many persons for tome time to come. New Zealand is peculiarly situated in reference to coal ; there is hardly a district in the Colony which has not brown coal. Indeed, beginning at the ranges West of Christchurch, and going to the Bins', you can scarcely travel twenty miles without finding a brown coal mine. In the district of Auckland, from the Bay of Islands down to the Waikato, there are large deposits of brown coal. The produce of the coal mines in 1864 was approximately 10,000 tons, but it has mounted up to 480,831 tons in 1884. On the West Coast of the Sontli or Middle Island, there are enormous deposits of carboniferous land, with seams of more than twenty feet in depth, of the finest stonm coal in the world. There is also magnificent gas coal at Greymoutb. The area of the coaltields of Westport and Grey may be said to amount to 120,000 acres. Tho improvements now in progretis for affording increased railway transport and shipping facilities, will so stimulate this industry that the output will suftico not only for a fair portion of home consumption, but also for a greatly increased foreign trade. Almost every known variety of iron ore has boon discovered in New Zealand. Various metallic ores are found, some of whicli iirc more or It'eiB workt-d. i::.H - . s ■s- - 1 if 272 New Zealand. mineml oila have been alao diaooTered. Abuodant sappliea of excellent itone for bnilding purpogoi and for roada are fonnd in erery part of the Colony. Natural cement stones are found quite equal in quality to those which are burnt for the manufacture of hydraulic cement in Europe. The materials for briokmaking are plentiful throughout the Colony. The clays are admirably adapted for the manufacture of the beat kinds, and bricka may be made equal to any of British manu* faoture. The success of pottery works that have been established has proved the adaptability of the flre clays and pottery clays of the Colony for the best kinda of flre-bricka, drain-pipfp, chimney-pots, tilea, and all kinda of pottery, poroelain, and terra-cotta goitda. Until the ayatematio colonisation of the lalanda, New Zealand waa veiy deatitute of terrestrial or animal life auitable tu the wanta of civili»d man, the only animala being a amall rat, a do^ (which had probably been introduced aince the lalanda wore peopled by the present race), and piga, the produce of aome animala loft by Captain Cook and the navigatora that auccoeded him; through the agenoiea of early miaaionariea, and by whaling ahipa many uaeful animala and plantt were then introduced. In more recent yeara all kinda of domeatic animals, many of very high quality, have been imported, including valuable breeda of aheep and the American llama. Domeatic poultry of almost every apeciea have also been introduced, and many apeciea of game (auch aa harea, pheaaanta, partridgea, black-game, red grouse, quail, &c.), and a boat of the amaller birds of Europe and other countriea have been spread throughout the lalanda. The riven alao of New Zealand, which formerly produced only the eel and a few small aalmonoid fisheii of little value, are gradually being stocked with aalmon and trout, both European and American, while perch, tench, and carp have also been satisfactorily acclimatised. The New Zealand soa-water fiah, on the whole, resemble those which are found on the coast between Madeira and the Bay of Biscay more than those that are caught about the north of 8cotland. Their useful variety bears favourable comparison with iish in British seas. In the latter, out of 208 kinds, only 40 are considered marketable ; while in New Zealand it is already known that, out of 192 sea fishes, there are nearly as many varieties used for food as are brought to market in the British Islands. The total area of New Zealand is upwards of sixty-six million acres. Of this, eighteen millions have been sold, or disposed of in education and other public reserves ; fourteen millions belong to the Aborigines or to the Europeans who have purciinsed from them, and thirty-four millions of Crown Lands still remain for disposal. Of the latter, fifteen millions are open gmss or fern country, ten millions forest, and nine millions of mountain tops, lakes, and worthless country, The Crown Lands are administered under the authority of "The Land Act, 1885." For convenience the Colony is divided into ten land Districts, each being under the local direction of a Commissioner and a Land Board. The Commissioner's office is known as the principal land office. In each district there is a principal land office, and in some of the large districts one or more sub-offices. It is with these land offices the selector has to transact all business, from the first consultation of the maps, the subsequent selection and purchase of land, to the final receipt of the Crown gmnt. Crown Lands are divided into three classes, namely, Town and Village lands, Suburban land, and Bural land. Town and suburban lands are sold by public auction, while in respect to rural lands provision is made for their disposal in various ways 80 as to meet the requirements and resources of those who desire to become settlers. Under the Homestead system a limited acreage of laud can be obtained without payment, but subject to conditiona of occupation and improvement Under the Deferred Payment system, the payment for land is made by instalments spread over e period of ten years, it being, however, necessary for the settler to reside on the land and to fulfil certain conditions of cultivation and improvement. Then again Crown Lands can be leased with perpetual right of renevml, thus securing to lessees the value of their improvements without requiring to sink any capital in the purchase of the land. Small grazing runs of not more than 5,000 acres are also put aside and let by public auction, the upset rent ranging tnm l^d. to Is. per acre, subject to conditions of occupation, improvement, and to right of renewal at the end of the twenty-one years' lease. The system of land transfer, which is well known in the Australasian colonies as the Torrens' system, was established in New Zealand in 1870. The general effect of the system is to enable persons, acquiring possession of land by transfer, inheritance or other means, to receive a title thereto direct from the Crown. All lands alienated before the system wus established can be brought under it, provided there is a clear title to it. Tl;e system further greatly facilitates the transfer at any time of Inqd once brought under it, New Zealand. 273 ling purpoBoi |uite equal in Burope.

In 1881 the total population of the Golony, exoluaive of Maoria (about 40,000) was aa foUowa: Malea, 269,605; femalea, 220,828; total, 489,933 ; and on the 80th September, 1885, the population waa eatimated to be 576,284 (ezclnsive of Maoria), ahowing an inoteaae in four and a-half yeara of 86,301. Amongat ttie population there are people from all parta of tho world. Of coloured races outside the Maoria the largeat number belong to the Chinese Empire, there being in 1881 over 5,000 Ohineae. The principal religioua denominations in New Zealand are the Churoh of England, the Presbyteriana, the Boman Githolic and Wealeyana, but many of the other principal religioua bodiea known in England aa Nonconformista, are alao represented. There is no State Church in New Zealand. The State, aa auch, haa no relation to, or connection with, any religious denomina- tion. Accordingly, it doea not give or aid religioua teaching, but haa eatabliahed achoola of its own, in which, for at leaat four hours a day on five daya in the week, the teaching muat be purely secular. The University of New Zealand ia purely an examining body. It ia empowered by Boyal Charter to confer degreea, but it haa no teaohera in ita employment. The teaching part of the Uoiveraity work iadone by affiliated inatitutiona : namely, the University of Otago, the Canterbury College, the Auckland Univeraity College, the Nelson College, and St. John'a College, Auckland. Secondary Schoola (Grammar or High Schools) aud Theological Colleges have been alao eatabliahed in varioua parta of the Colony, and for the most part are affiliated to the University of New Zealand. The ordinary taxation of the Colony is raised from Cuatoma, atampa, beer duty, and property tax. There is also a duty on gold produced in and exported from the Colony. Receipts for services rendered arise from the traffic on railways which, with a very few exceptions, belong to the Government, from postages, from telegraphs, which are alao colonial property, and ttom feea injudicial, regiatrution, and other public departments. The territorial revenue is raised from land Bales and firom depaaturing licenses, rents, &o. Aa a matter of account, the proceeds of land sales constitute by themselves what ia called the land Amd, and are dealt with aeparately, and the proceeds of depaaturing licenses, rents. See., are treated aa ordinary revenue. The railways, of which there are about 1,500 milea open to the public, have, on the whole, been wiaely and inexpensively constructed. The gauge ia a narrow one, the rails being 3 ft. 6 ina. apart. All parta of the Colony are in tolegraphic communication, and a tele^rraph cable conneota it with Australia and all other parts of the civilised world. There are telephone exchanges in the principal oitiea and telephone atationa in other places. One great advantage which New Zealand possesses is its general accessibility. A fortnightly line of flrdt-class steamers direct connects it with England, and a monthly line with San Francisco, both of which lines are subsidised for carrying mails. The passage to and from England, without any transhipment^ occupies about 45 days outward and 40 days homeward. Assisted passages by these steamers are granted by the New Zealand Government to farmers and agriculturists from the United Kingdom. Sailing ships carry on the New Zealand trade with every part of the globe. There is also a fine fleet of twenty-eight bteamers maintaining weekly communication with Sydney and Melbourne, and almost daily communication with the principal New Zealand ports. In addition, there is a monthly service between Auckland and Fiji. During the summer months special excursions are made to the West Coast Sounds, and there are mid-winter excursions to the South Sea Islands. There is ample room in New Zealand for the comfortable settlement of a large industrial population. The field for the judicious and profitable investment of capital is very great. At the same time. New Zealand is not merely a country for speculators ; it ofibrs special capabilities for men with little or no means who are able and willing to work, and for the spread of small homesteads. To say that some who go out to New Zealand fail there, ia only to aay that man ii often miataken, and that nothing perfect is found in this world. Again, ups and downs in the state of aettlements in the Colony are merely the rise and fall of waves in the advancing tide. The general and ultimate onward march of the country is, humanly speaking, beyond doubt. Forty yeara have, in the face of enormous difficulties, changed it from a waste into thriving settlements. Its maritime character, its position in the Pacific Ocean, its climate, its great and manifold resources, the distinctive nature of its colonisation, the energy of its people, and the freedom of its institutions, are all guaranteea of ita great deatiny in the coming time. mf m I i!

TiiE Colony of Fiji is a group of islands in tho South Paoiflo numbering over 200, of which 80 are inhabited, 1,900 miles flrora Sydney, and 1,200 miles from Auckland. They are distant from Samoa fiOO miles south-west, from Tonga 800 miles north-east, and from New Caledonia 500 miles east. The principal island is named Viti Levu, and is equal in size to the collective areas of Ken Sussex, Surrey and Middlesex. This one island is also nearly as large as Jamaica, twice as large 08 Trinidad, and six times as large as Mauritius, while the aggregate area of the whole Colony is greater than all the British West India Islands, including Trinidad. The total area is 4,751,860 acres, and it is therefore larger than Wales. G'ooemment.— Crown Colony of a severe type, Governor advised by Executive Council consisting of four members, heads of departments. There is also a Legislative Council, consisting of the Gtovemor as President, the Chief Justice, and five other heads of departments as o£9cial Members, and of six unofficial Members nominated by the Governor and appointed by the Queen for life. Climate is considered good for the tropics; heat rarely exceeds 90° in the shade, and thermometer does not often go Ixilow 60°. Rainfall varies considerably in the different islands, ranging from 40 inches to 180 inches per annum. SettUra are scattered over many of the islands engaged in planting, stock-keeping, trading, &o. As a rule they live comfortably in wooden bouses, and possess abundance of poultry, pigs, fruit and vegetables, while in some districts, fresh beef and mutton is obtained weekly. In Suva and Levuka people can live in any style they like to pay for, and ptirtioipate to some extent in the pleasures of society in which settlers' wives are glad to join when they leave their district homes for a change to either of these two pretty towns. There are over 3,000 Europeans in the Colony. Native!, — There are about 115,000 natives who are physically and mentally superior to most coloured races. They are a reddish-brown in complexion, of a free and easy disposition, and view life with a calm philosophy, worthy of imitation by many Europeans. Thoy do not much care about work, because nature supplies nearly nil their wants. Labour. — Calcutta Coolies, Polynesians and Fijians are employed. Tho two former classes cost about l». 6d. each daily, this amount includes wages, passage-money, allowances for food and clothing, houses, hospitals, sick porcentajjie, medicines and incidcutuls. Fijians are cheaper. Products. — Sugar is the principal product. 10,586 tons exported last year ; the yield is good, the density of juice up to average, the best machinery is at work, and the largest mill in the world is on the Bewa Biver, Viti Levu. Cokonuta are exported in large quantities, but the majority are used for making Copra (the dried kernel used for oil) and fibre. They thrive well, and give a good and tolerably safe return ou capital judiciously expended. Exports value, 1884: Cokonuts, £2,219; Copra, £59,241; Fibre, £1,031. Cotton. — This industry, once the largest and most profitable, is now being given up, owing to low price obtained. Certain parts of the Colony are remarkably well suited for the "long stapled " fine qualities. Export value, 1884, £14,121. Fruit. — Bananas and pineapples were exported to the value of £23,994 last year. This trade might be greatly supplemented by oranges, lemons, mangoes, and preserved fruits. MoUuset exported to value of £7,186. Present prices so low that much is run to wagte, Odffee bfti not proved tbe mcceii ftntipJpRtedi N9 wsor bfti yet !)??» fws(i to Rcocwnt ton Ihp non'pro^iiottvpnesi of tho tree, U I 200 Fiji. Tea, Cinchona, ami C!ardamom$ hnvo been recently tried, and may prove remunerative. The former, Tea, hoe received high praiio flrom experts in Auitralia, New Zealand, and London, and it may in a few yean iurpau in vuluo the export of sugar. Tobacco ii only grown to a small extent, but tho quality produced favoura the idea of a large increase, should experienced mon undertuko its culture. Sheep, cnttle, iiorses and gonts breotl and tlirivo well, while poultry, pigs and fruit nro very abundant throughout tlie islands. From tho above it will bo soon that tho (Colony is eminently ngrioultural, and that its naturni resources, ((enerul climate and prnlifle soil well tit it to \w n |)l(>asuiit resort for young Englami, and point to its becoming tho future West Indies of (he AustrslaMau Colonies. A more detailed uooount of its roseuroos, statistics on Trade and Oomnmce, Agriculture, History and Oeogrupliy and Institutions will Iw found iu tlie Handbook now puUisbed by tiiu Kxectttivo Commissioner for tho Colony. mm Sm JOHN BENNETT, 65 & 64, Oheapside, Icmdon.

By Sir Charles Mills, K.C.M.G. tis Foundation. — Bartholomew Diaz, the Portugueae navigator, as far as wo know, was the fint to double the Gape — ^now four centuries ago (1486), — although the event is perhaps more frequently associated with the name of Yasco da Gama, who commanded the expedition which, eleven years later, was sent out by King John of Portugal to verify the expectations of an ocean route to India which had been raised by the discoveries of Diaz, and which had led the king to give to the Cape the name which now distinguishes the chief British Colony in South AMca. No permanent settlement at the Cape was effected by the Portuguese, but, for the next century and a half, it was used by their ships, and by those of England and Holland as well, as a port of call when bound to and from the East Indies. In 1620, a party of Englishmen landed and took possession of the peninsula in the name of James I., but nothing came of this attempt, and it was not until 1652 that the Dutch East India Company took possession of Table Bay, establishing a defensive fort, and occupying tlie lands in Table Valley, chiefly, however, with the object of having always in readiness supplies for their passing sliips. It was occupied by the English from 1795 to 1803, restored to the Batavian Government in the latter year, and re-occupiod by the British in 1606, whose possession of the place was ratified by the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Its JE^xtenston.— Although two hundred and thirty-three years have passed since the date of the first European occupation of South Africa, it is only witliin the last seventy years that colonization has been fairly and freely encouraged in the country. It is necessary to bear this fact in mind when instituting comparisons between the age and progress of the Cape of Good I Hope, and the remar^^able advancement of the Anglo-Saxon communities in America and I Australia. At the beginning of tlie present century the Colony contained about 120,000 square miles I of territory. Its boundaries were, the Great Fish River to the east, and on tho north a curved line extending from near the present village of Colesberg to the mouth of the Buffalo Elver in Little Namaqualand. Its population consisted of 21,000 whites, 26,000 slaves, and 14,500 I Hottentots. Its revenue was about £90,000, and its exports £15,000. At present the Colony contains 226,000 square miles, including the Trailskei. Its boundaries Ion the north and north-east (excluding the Transkei) are the Orange, the Indwe, and the Great JKei Rivers. Its population at the last census (1875) consisted of 330,783 whites and 484,201 I coloured. It is now (1885) estimated at 340,000 wliites and 900,000 coloured. Its revenue for I the financial year 1883-4 was £2,949,950. Its exports amounted in 1884 to £6,945,674 ; imports, |£5,249,000; value of fixed property £37,344,299. At the beginning of the century Cape Town contained between eleven and twelve hundred Ihouses, inhabited by about 5,500 whites and free people of colour, and 10,000 slaves. The village lof StellenboBch contained about seventy houses, the Paarl and Bwellendam about thirty housea leach, and Graaff Beiuet about a doisen mud huts. These were the chief " towns" of tho time. SI p HI k i:A Hi: 296 Ca^e of Oood Sope. In 1875 Cape Town, with its subiubi, bad 6.971 houses, with a population of 45,240 soulg. StellenboBoh, 465 bouses and a population of 8,178 ; the Paarl, 771 houses and 126 huts with a population of 5,760 : Swellendam, S29 houses and 2,000 inhabitants ; Oraaff Beinet, 857 bouses and a population of 4,562 ; and there are 154 other towns and villages with an aggregate population of over 123,000 ; Port Elizabeth with a population of over 18,000 ; Graham's Town with 7,000; King William's Town with 6,000; and East London with 3,000, being the most noteworthy. Itt Produett. — At the beginning of the century the products of the Colony were limited to grain, cattle, and wine. There are no records of the quantities produced, but the fact that the total exports of the Colony at that time reached to only £15,000 shows that the quantities could not have been large. At present the exports of colonial produce extend over a considerable variety of articles, and include aloes, argol, bones, bnchu leaves, coffee, copper ore, ostrich feathers, dried fruits, guano. Angora hair, hides, boms, skins, tobacco, wine, and wool, as well as diamonds, of which special mention will bo found hereafter. In 1875, when the last census was taken, there were nearly seventy million vines planted, yielding four and a-half million gallons of wine and over one million gallons of brandy ; 1,688,000 bushels of wheat, nearly half a million bushels of barley, quarter of a million bushels of rye, one million bushels of oats and the same of oat-huy ; over three million lbs. of tobacco, two and a-half million lbs. of dried fruits, and 340,0U0 lbs. of aloes were produced. Indian corn and millet were also very largely raised. At the same period the Colony possessed nearly ten million woolled sheep, 22,000 ostriches, 878,000 Angora goats, and 1,112,000 homed cattle. Mohair first appears as an article of export in 1872, the quantity shipped being 1,036 lbs. In 1884 four and a-half millions lbs. were exported. In 1857 the value of feathers exported was less thau £10,000. In 1884 the export had risen to £966,480 in value. In 1830 the total shipment of wool was only 83,000 lbs. ; in 1872 it reached the total of forty-nine million lbs., since which time it has fallen off owing chiefly to loss of stock from [severe droughts. The total value of this export in 1884 was £1,745,000. In 1884 the value of copper ore exported was about £406,000., and of diamonds £2,807,329. In 1868 the declared value of diamonds exported was £150. Its Trade. — ^The external trade of the Colony is carried on chiefly with the mother oountry, and chiefly in British and colonial vessels, as will be seen from the following figures i-^ In 1884. Imports. £ Exports. United Kingdom .. All other Countries • • • • 4,023,799 1,225,201 • • • • 6,520,107 425,567 Totals • • 5,249,000 ■ • 6,945,674 Shipping.

Exports. Inwards. Outwards. 2,665,902 2,080,398 Inwards. Tons. 329,934 Tons. 335.358 It will thus be seen that the ir ; 9rts have doubled, and the exports trebled during the period mentioned. It should, mono , be noted in this connection that this comparison is mode nt a pcrifl i III Industries. — Besides the raising of sheep and cattle and hones, and the cultivation of the land, which are the staple industries of tiie Colony, and in which at the time of the last oensos (1875) 210,000 of the population were engaged, there is the important industry of diamond mining at Kimberley. Old de Beer's, Du Toit's Pan, and Bultfoutein, employing in all about 10,400 persons, of whom 1,228 are white and the remainder coloured. Mining was commenced in 1868, and the total declared and known value of diamonds exported from that time to the close of 1884 was £31,772,476. It is well known, however, that the actual export is largely in excess of the declared value. There are also smaller diggings at Barkly West, which in 1884 realised £51,480. Copper mining is carried on in Namaqualand by the Capo Copper Mining Co., and the Kamaqua Mining Co. The annual average produce is 21,000 tons, and 1800 persons are employed. The ores are of very rich quality, after classification and dressing realising an average ;»ay of about 32 per cent. Bince 1852, when copper ore was first exported, to the end of 1884, the total produce amounted to 268,215 tons, and in that period the annual export has increased from 31 tons to 22,705 tons. Coal mining, which is of quite recent origin in the Colony, is now carried on at the Cyphergat and Molteno Mines in the Albert Division, and the Indwe Mine intl c "'.'>. iehouse Division. The present annual produce is about 9000 tons, employing about 200 pei-i'iiiB. The coalfields are of immense extent, and will ultimately prove of great value to the Colony. The eastern line of railways is now entirely supplied with coals from these mines : and as soon as the remaining 150 miles or thereabouts of raUway connecting all the seaports with the coalfields shall have been constructed, ships of war and transports, as well as merchant vessels, can be supplied with colonial coal and made independent of coal supplies from England. On the ground of economy this will obviously be a great advantage, and politically — in the event of war or accidental closing of the Suez Canal, a local coal supply will be of incalculable importance to the defence and trade of the empire. There are also alum, lead, crocidolite, manganese, and saltpet.'e mines, several of which are being worked. There are 17 fisheries at various points on tlie coast, employing 335 boats, and 1854 men, and the value of the fish caught in 1884 at the 12 stations, firom which returns were obtained amounted to £89,563. There are about 60 saltpans now being worked in the Colony, many of which are very exteu< flive. According to the returns obtained in 1884 from 26 of these pans the value produced was about £30,000. Amongst other Industries there are in the Colony 89 aerated water manufactories, 129 boot and shoe factories, 302 bread and biscuit factories, 130 brickworks, 37 confectionery and jam factories, 22 cooperages, 129 iron and tin works, 74 printing works, 121 saddlery and hanices works, 17 tobacco factories, 301 waggon and cart worlds, 59 fish-curing establishments, 38 com and flour mills, 16 wool wosherics, 9 of which are worked by steam, and employ about 250 hands each, 9 boat building establishments, 7 tanneries, 7 breweries, and 12 distilleries. Its Educational and Religious Provisions. — In 1884 the Colony had 5 colleges and 1004 schools of various classes. The number of college students was 315. The number of scholars on the roll was 78,037. The Governmental expenditure for the year was £99,918, the Local expenditure £101,644. In the same year there were in the Colony 453 ministers of the various denominations, of whom 100 belonged to the Church of England, 99 to the Dutch Bef(»mcd Church, and 97 to the Wesleyan Methodists. The number of persons belonging to the several pon^cgations was 383,765, of whom 150,719 were coloured. The Government contribution to the support of ministers was £11,990, the amount contributed by the congregations for tie j same purpose was £69,309, and for other purposes £97,231. Thespac and present c iatetdned to Cape Court o Dependencies, Its Hospitalt.— la 1884 the Colony had 74 hospitals and charitable iustitutiontt the total | number of patients treated being 7,060. Six of these received Government aid to the extent < £7,478. The others are supported almost entirely by voluntary contributions. Cape of Good Sope. 299 Il8 Banks. — ^In 1884 there were 11 banks ia the Colony, with an aggregate nominal capital of £6,303,930 in 124,012 shares on which £1,649,745 had been paid np. At the same period their aggregate reserve ftmd amounted to £611,703, and their circulation to £708,797. In the same year the C!olony had 112 Post Office Savings Banks with 17,886 depositors and £128,689 in deposits. The Cape of Good Hope Savings Bank Society had 232,334 depositors and £328,731 in deposits. The Grahamstown Savings Bank had 1,578 depositors and £14,972 in deposits, and the King William's Town Savings Bank 1,125 depositors and £30,170 in deposits. The space at our disposal does not afford room for more than the above sketch of the past and present condition of the Colony.

This rainfall is not, however, evenly distributed through the several seasons of tho year. It is comparatively heavy in the summed season, extending fron^ October to April, and ligjit during the winter season from 3Iuy to '1 314 Natal. 3 flit I: : ! T i ■ ■ I Heptember; the large Map No. 5 illuBtratos this. Tho traiisverso line, which croHSts tJio vertical lines that cprosont inches of rainfuU marks a lull in excess of three inches for eacli month of January, P'cbruary, March, April, October, November and D(jceniber, and under one inch for the months of May, June, and July. Four-iifths of tho rain fulls during the six months of greatest heat, and one-flfth during tho six months of lowest temperature. Tho average rain- fall during the two driest mid-winter months is only 0*38 of an inch; during tho four inter- mediate months, it amounts (o 4 inclics; in each of the six wot months, tho average amounts to 4 inclies. Th(! average fall for tho six wet sumtncv months for tlio jioriod of eiglit years was, in exact numbers, 2: J • 87 inches. Tliero arc about 2:i() days in tho year on which no rain falls. Tho full on the coast distriots is about half as heavy again as at I'lutermaritzlmrg, 2000 feet above tlic loa. Tho summer in Natal is cloudy and moist, and tho winter sunny and dry. There are commonly not more than twenty days of nnbrokon cloud during the six months of winter. Upon the whole tho countiy is well watered. The rivers never dry up ; they nm oil tho yeftr round, but ore fuller in summer than in winter. The temperature in Natal is very much moderate:! by the abundance of cloud and rain in tho season of summer. Tho moan temperature of tho year at Pieternmritzburg is 04* 070; the mean temperature of tho summer 08-4, and the mean temperature of tho winter about 50*4. In tlie largo Map No. (5 tho transverse lino which runs across the vertical lines that represent the months, and which ranges up and down over tho horizontal lines that represent degrees of temperature of Fahrenheit, gives the menu temperature for each of the twelve months of the year, nml bhows that tho menu tempornturo for Fibruary is 71 'SO, and tho menu temperature for June 5i> • 1°. The highest temperature at Pietermaritzburg during eight yenis was 07"0^, and that occurred during the prevalence of a strong blast of the hrtt-wind. TIio mid-winter in Natal is very much like a fine Juno in England, excepting that tho dajs aiv shorter, and tho niglits more cold. There are rarely moro than eight days in the winter uii which the temperature does not rise to fi0°, and rarely twenty nights on which it falls below 40'. During tho period of eight years close observation in Pietermaritzburg, already alluded to, tho temperature only touched frost at night five times. There are not more tl.an fifty days on tho average in which the temperature ut Pietermaritzburg rises above 84°, and not more than twelve days on which it rises above 90°. There are about 200 nights in the year on which it falls to G0°. A dry hot land wind blows at Pietermaritzburg lor a few hours aboiit twenty- Mvo times in tho year, and it is only during its prevalence that the air-temperaturo rim above 80°. The mean temperature of the summer is C!)°, and that of the winter 00°. The coast dislrlot is about 3J degrees warmer on the averngc than Pietermaritzburg. The sun is less scorching thero at midday, but the nights are considerably warmer. Map 8 indicates by its transverse tracing tiie nnniber of times in which hot winds blow and in which thunder- storms occur in the several months of the year. Thunderstorms are frequent and severe, during the summer season. At the elevation of Pietermaritzburg, a little moro than 2000 feet above tho seo, the pino- ii{>plo, the banana, and the sugar-cane are not found. But the orangn lipons in the open air in suitable soils, and the gardens are gay through tho sea.son of mid-winter with the briglit flowers of tho oleander, the brugmansia, the ipomoa, the passion flower; and the night- blowing cereus; tho apple, the peach, tho loquat and tho granadillo, flourish side by side in tlie | fruit-bearing season. The vine grows readily, but needs special care on account of the wetness of its season of ripening ; the coifec bears abundant crops of berries oven at this altitude ; nnii the cotton plant thrives ; the mulberry in every variety grows with the utmost luxuriance, tlie I white mulberry being almost p« common as a weed. The blue gums and mimosas of Australin havo naturalized themselves upon the soil. Mai?o is a Btaple production at all elevations, and h \ grown remuneratively under tho iTidest cultivation. Natul was lirst occnpied as a British possession in 184;{. Its populaltion now amounts to I 83,000 Europeans, 27,000 Indian coolies, and 801,000 Zulu-Knflrs. Bugar is grown along tlic coast ; it was introduced into the Colony 1851. About 29,000 acres of land are nnder sugar nt tho present time, and the annual produce amounts to 18,000 tons. Coifee was flrst planted in 18G2 ; nearly 6000 acres of land have been under cofiee ; the crop in 1884 was 100 tons. Ten , was first planted as recently as 1877, and about 400 acres of tea plantation are nnder cultivation at the present time. 31,000 lbs. of tea were produced in the last year, and several ver^r cxcellcut I samples consuwei pepper v hemp, CI each) of 1 farms, bu used as g the prose] Colony. e.xport of was in ex( £13,500. nt 9,604 II Rice, g aloes are p Tlie ti among the chestnut fi white iron estimated I 32,000 acre owners, am The va The Ooveri ditiu-e £97, Works Loai Tlie roil time 173 mi Colonial Goj The remain The Shi amounted ii The har progress cor it accessible all states of Cgal occ of it being ; area of the that this ar ItoC.

Cousidorublo attention is bcin<,' given to tho production of hemp, China gross, and New Zealand Hax. In 1884 nearly one million niuids (saclis of H bushels each) of maize, technically known as mealies, were harvested. Wiicut is gmwu on tho upland farms, but chiefly for locol consumption. Oafs arc produced everywhere, but are almost entirely used as green forage. Tho value of preserved fruit exported last year was £2,583. There nro at the present time 575,078 oxen, 43,431 horscH, and 522,233 merino sheop on tho jiasturos of tho Colony. The producu of wool in tho Colony was estimated in 1884 at 1,370,000 lbs. ; but tho export of wool, including tho yield of tho districts boyond tho inland frontier of tlio Colony, was in excess of 17,000,000 lbs. The value of tho mohair raised in the Colony Inst year was £13,500. Tho butter produced in tho Colony in 1884 was estimated at 321,58.1 lbs. ; tho cheoso at 0,004 lbs. ; and the bacon at 477,884 lbs. Rice, ginger, turmeric, indigo, cochineal, silk, ground nut, sunflower seed, castor oil, and aloes arc produced on a small scale. The timber-yielding plants of Natal are of great interest and value ; the most important among them are — the yellow wood, a species of yew ; the sueozo wood, belonging to the horse- chestnut family ; the stink wood, a species of laurel ; tho black iron wood, a very hard olivo ; tho white iron wood, a species of rue ; and tho essen wood, the South African ash. It was recently estimated that there were 133,000 acres of heavy timber forest belonging to private owners, and 32,000 acres belonging to the Crown ; and 1,045,000 acres of thom junglo belonging to private owners, and 190,900 acres belonging to the Crown. The value of imports for Natal in 1805 was £1,518,000, and the value of exports £877,000. The Oovernmeut Revenue in 1804 was £609,000, and the expenditure £740,000 ; of tho expen- diture £07,000 was interest and sinking fund on loans, and £39,000 for works under Tublic Works Loan. The railway from Durban to Pietermaritzburg was opened in 1880. There are, at the present time 173 miles of railway in operation in the Colony, all the property of, and worked by, tho Colonial Government. The Ladysmith extension is open to Estcourt, 145 miles from Durban. The remaining 42 miles to Ladysmith is expected to bo complete within the present year. The ships which entered tho harbour of Durban, the only serviceable port of the Colony, amounted in 1885 to 154 Steam vessels of . . 104,097 tons. 152 Sailing vessels of . . 45,024 „ 0 Men of War . . . 12,703 „ The harbour at present has a changing and shifting bar at its mouth, but works are in progress connected with the entrance oT the harbour which it is expected will ultimately make it accessible to vessels of the deepest draught by day or by night, at all times of the tide, and in all states of the weather. Cqal occurs in consiilerable abundance in tho Klip River county of serviceable quality, most of it being fit for house coal, and some of it for steam purposes and for the making of gas. Tho area of the coal field suitable for working is estimated at 1350 square miles, and it is considered that this area most piobably contains not less than 2,073,000,000 tons of serviceable coal.

Taiannftll dependency of the British Empire, formerly so well known as n place of refreshment for homeward bound East Indiamen, and from being the scene of the captivity of the Emperor Napoleon, has lost much of its commercial importance sinco the opening of tho Suez Gannl. Its situation, however, wit?i regard to the African Oontinent seems io point at no distant period to the advantages it offers, not only as abase of operations for missionary and commercial enterprise, but as a health resort for the Europeans employed in the factories 01 the Congo, for which last*Bamed purpose it is admirably fitted, both from enjoying a remarkably fine and healthy climate, and being wiihin four days' steaming of Banana at tho mouth of that river. The geographical position of Ihe island is in latitude 15*56, longitude 5*42 W., 4,277 miles from Plymouth 1,160 from Gape Town, and 1,200 from the const of Africa. It is oblong in form, its general direction M. E. to S. W., 10^ miles in length, 6} in breadth, with an area of 45 square miles, '"' about one-third the size 6f the lale of Wight. Although within the Tropic of Capricorn, the constant S. E. trade wind rcAders the climate mild and equable ; and being traversed by a mountainous range, varying from 2,700 feet to 1,500 feet in height, any variety of ".limate may be obtained — from a maximum temperature of 82° at James Town on the sea coast, to 74° at Long wood, 1,780 feet above the sea. Since the discovery of the island by the Portuguese in 1502, it has undergone many vicissitudes. Abandoned by that nation about 1600, it became a bono of contention between the Dutch and English, which finally resulted in the capture of the island by Sir Bicbard Mundeu in 1673 ; it was then granted by charter to the English East India Company, who retained it until 1836, and subsequently transferred it to the Crown for £100,000. Tlio history of the captivity of the Emperor Napoleon from 1815 to 1821 is too well known to be dwelt upQU here. Captain Cavendish appears to have been the first Englishman who visited the islnnd, where he called to recruit his sickly crew when homeward bound in 1588. His account of the place is very interesting; he describes it as " well planted with fruits and herbs, the hills abounding with wild goats, pheasants, partridges and turkeys, with great store of swine." The narrative seems fully borne out by the engravings in an old Dutch work of 1641 in the British Museum, in which parties of Dutch seamen are depicted hunting goats and pigs, gatiiering lemons in a fruitful orchard, and drawing their nets in a stream abounding with t ih. The island is surrounded by precipitous cliffs, broken here aid there by deep ravines, affording in some places a precarious landing. The prospect from the sea is most desolate and forbidding, far different from tliat presented to the early navigators, when forests of ebony clothed its now barren and denuded heights. James Town, tlio seat of government, with a population of 2,500, is situated in a valley on the N. W. (leewurd) side of tho island, its main street, with its bright-looking houses and trees, forming a pleasing contrast with the gloomy hills rising on either side. Two good roads lead up tiicse heights into tho country, and the barren outskirts of the island are soon exchanged for the wooded hills and valleys of the interior, crowned with pine woods; tho lofty peaks of the main ridge, clothed with the luxuriant vegetation of the cabbage wood and tree fern, forming a suitable background to the picture. The present prospects of the island, owing to the falling off in the visits of* ^hipping, are far from encouraging. Many of the farmers have emigrated to the Cape, and^elscwhere ; and nothing is more depressing than to see the country houses falling into decay, and the land over- grown with briars. The terrible destruction caused through tho introduction of the white ant in 1840 in some Brazilian timber out of a broken-up slaver, infiicted a loss upon the Colony of <£70,000, from which it has scarcely recovered. Still, a better day may, be dawning for St Y 2 «m ?! \ mm» ■ ''iW^'" 824 St, Helena. Uelona. Mr. Morris, in liis report to tlie Colonial Office in 18^4, enumerotos vkat he coneidors might be productive industries for the island, amongst others the cultivation of The English Aloe, for its valuable fibre. New Zealand Flax, do., Barbadoes Aloe, Tobacco — Vanilla, Guinea Grass, vith many fruits, especially the Spanish Oliver Pineapple, Sm. He also places great stress upun the fisheries, th«?re being no doubt that " the expenditure of a small capitiil on good boats and tackle, with hardy fishtrmen, would be attended with great success."— (Melliss.) There are cod banks close to the islimd, and no less than seventy-three desoriptiims of fish are known to exist, many of a valuable nature (tunny, mackerel), and easily canght, either at sea or ofi* the rocks. The great drawback to the prosperity of the island is doubtless the want of efficient and organized labour. The " native,'' whose wants are easily supplied by a meal of fish and rice, is of a naturally indolent disposition, and not alive to the necessity of " working " for his daily bread. It has occurred to the writer that were St. Helena garrisoned by a West Indian regiment, a considerable portion of the men's time might be devoted to the cultivation of the Government lands, and the maintenance of the original forest, the disappearance of which is gradually afiecting the water supply of the island. The least annual rainfall from 1841 to 1848 was 19*509 inches in 1845. The greatest, 90-458 inches in 1842. The greatest pressure of wind, 1*72 lbs. Population in 1881, 5059. DIVISION I.

This group of ialanda is in the South Atlantic 1800 miles S. of St. Helena, and 1500 f^om the Cape of Good Hope, being almost in a direct line between the latter and Gape Horn. They occupy a triangular space of about 100 square miles, the Eastern and Western extremities being Nightingale and Inaooessible Islands : Tristan da Gunha, in lai 87-3 S., long. 12' 19 W., forming the N. point. Tristan da Gunha, liko the other Atlantic islands, is of volcanio origin ; it was discovered by da Gunha, a Portuguese admiral, in 1506 ; it is of circular outline, in the shape of a truncated cone, rising to the height of 7610 feet above tho sea, with an extinct crater at the summit of the mountain. The diameter is about seven miles ; it ia surrounded by inaccessible olifl's from 1000 to 2000 feet in height, tho settlement " Edinburgh " being on a grassy slope 2^ miles long and 1| miles wide, 200 feet above the sea, on the north side of the island. The climate is mild and moist, but remarkably healthy, the mean temperature on the coast from 82° to 43°, tho summit of the mountain being covered with snow from June to December. During this period of the year tho weather is very uncertain, with heavy gales from N.E. to S.W. during August and September. Landing would be impracticable, were it not for a zone of kelp which surrounds the island at a distance of one-third mile, and breaks the violence of the surf. The island was occupied by a detachment of Artillery during the captivity of Napoleon at St. Helena, and on thoir withdrawal in 1821, Corporal Qlasse, an Artilleryman, with two seamen, and four whaling men remained behind, and becamo the founders of the present settlement Tristan has been visited from time to timo by H.M. ships. In 1867 H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, when Captain of the CkUaUa, conferred the designation of "Edinburgh" on the settlemout. H.M.S. Challenger surveyed the island in 1878, and made an interesting report on the group. The population of the colony in 1888 amounted to 93, and appeared well supplied, there being a large number of cattle and sheep, with abundance of potatoes. The colony has just sustained a severe loss of fifteen of this small community and a boat (presented by H. M. Govt.), when endeavouring to assist a ship in distress (see Daily Telegraph, 19 AprU, 1886). The mackerel, salmon and mullet are caught off the shores, and the neighbouring ocean is frequented by the sperm, black and white whales. The only tree on tho island is a species of buckthorn, from 20 to 30 feet high, growing in the mountain gorges. The wild rosemary (also found at St. Helena, Reunion and Mauritius), and a long coarse grass (^Spartaca Aruiidinacea), with some varieties of fern, abound. DIVISION I. gpEOIUEMS OF MlHEBALB, &0. 1.

Wlio's to blame P For the nieiuis of preventing premature death from disease read a large illustrated sheet given with each bottle of ENO'S FBtTIT BAJ/T. The information is invaluable. If tliis invaluable informiition were universally carried out, many forms, of disease now produoiug such bavoo would cease to exist, as Fkgue, Leprosy, &c., have done, when the true cause has become known.

After a patient and careful observation of its effectB when used, I have no hesitation in stating tliat, if its great value in keeping the body healthy were univertally known, not a household in the land would be without it, nor & single travelling trunk or portmanteau but would contain it. AOENBItAL OFFIOEB, writing from Ascot on Jan. 3, I8S6, says : '* BleBsin^B on yunr FRUIT SALT I I trust it is not profane to say m>, but, In common parlance, I iwear by it.

Sinhalese 1,920,000 Tamils 687,000 lloormen 182,000 Other Native Baccs .... 13,000 Bitfghers, or natives of Europo.tn descent . 18,00<) Europeans 5,000 The Ye^^ahs are supposed to be a remnant of the aborigines of Ceylon. Tliey have no [fixed habitations, roaming about the forests of the Southern and Eastern Provinces. Living in leaves and holioy^ trees, their dialect is diiTerent from that of the SinhalesOhWith whom they have llittl^ intercourse. The Mftld|ve,4^hipelago— a group of Coral Islets sparsely inhabited by a race of Sinhalese lorigin, speaking a broken diale.ct of Sinhalese — is tributary to Ceylon, to which the Sultan of tho hialdives sends an ep^b^ssy. aimually. Tliese islands^ are difficult of access, and intercourse with Itiiem is very limited. An interesting ethnolpgical collection from these islands has been pro- |cured for this Exhibition. For a tropical country, Geylpn is decidedly healthy ; A:om its insular position, the climato Icontrasts favourably with that of India — there are no extremes of temperature, and throughout Ithe low couutry the thermometer varies little in the course of the year ; the mean temperature ]»t Colombo is nearly 81° F. There is, however, considerable difference in the daily temperature fa the hill districts. The coolest months are December and January ; the hottest, March, \pril, and May. Sir E. Tennent, who resided in the island for s^me years as Lieut.-Ck)vernor and Colonial etary, in his. interesting a^d valuable vijork on the Colony, writes :— " There is no island in kli« world, Gr^t Britain itself not excepted, that h^s atti-acted the attention of authors in so any distant ^ges an^ so many different countries as Ceylon, there is no nation in ancient or uodem times possespte^ of a, language or literature the writers of which have not at some time I it their th^me. Its asp^t, its religion, its antiquities and productions have been described I veil by classic Greeks as by those of the lower empire, by the Romans, by the writers of phina, Burmah, India and Cashmere, by the Geographers of Arabia and Persia, by the mediieval foyagers of Portugtil wd France, by thp vmalwti* Pf Portugal and Spain, by the merchants and 332 Ceylon. ■I (■■ • adventurori of Holland, and by the travellera and topographera of Great Britain." Tennent't own enthuaiaatio deiioription of tlie island ia ■ummed up thtu : — "Ceylon, from whatever direction it ia approached, unfolda a acene of lovelineia and grandeur unsurpassed, if it be rivalled, by any land in the universe. The traveller from Bengal leaving behind the melancholy delta of the Ganges auu the torrid coast of Goromandvl, or the adventurer from Europe recently inured to the sanda of Egypt and the scorched headlands of Arabia, is alike entranced by the vision of beauty which expands before him as the island risen iVom the sea, its lofty mountains covered by luxuriant forests, and its chores, till they meet the ripple of the waves, bright with the foliage of perpetual spring." The speed and comfort with which a jonmey to Ceylon can now be accomplished by the magnificent vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental, Mcssageries, British India, and otiior important Steamship Cos. induce many besides the morohant or planter to visit this intoro«ting island. Those in search of tropical scenery and vegetation, or keen iu archoeology, (he naturalist or sportsman, will all alike find ample field for enterprise, well repaying the three weeks spent on the outward voyage. The scenery and vegetation lire rich in all that gladdens tlie eye ; while no country in the world can boast of a more varied and interesting insect life to occupy the uatiuralist. Elephant, leopard, wild bufiUIo, bear, wildboar, deer of many varietiei, with snipe and wild fowl in profusion, will give occupation to the sportsman. To the archiBologist the many ruined cities, with their stone carving and clear close-cut in- scriptions, offer infinite variety. Among the most wonderful of these ruins are those of Pollonnaruwa and Anuradhapura in the centre of the island. The latter was (he chosen capital of King Panduk Abhaya, 437 b.o., and remained the capital of the island for twelve centuries. Historians write that the outer wall of the city enclosed 250 square miles, and was completed in tlio flnt century of the Christian era. Nothing beyond the ruins with their interesting records in stone, and the large D^gobas, now remain, except the sacred B6 tree, which still flourishes. Major Forbes, in bis work entitled ' Eleven Years in Ceylon,' states that in the reign of King Devlin- nmpiya Tissa, which commenced 307 B.O., Anuriidhapura received the collar-bone of tho Gautoma Buddha, his begging dish filled with relics and a branch of the Bu tree under whicli he nttai'icd Buddhahood. Thus this relic of past ages has been flourishing for nearly 2200 yearei, and is bulieved to be ihe oldest living tree of which there is any authentic record. It is held sacred throughout the Buddhist world, and is the goal of mnny a long pilgrimage. Even the fallen leaves are treasured by the pilgrims and carried to distant lands. Boughly speaking, three-ilftha, cr say 1,700,000, of the population of Ceylon are Buddhist. Colombo, on tho south-west coast, is now the capital of the island, with a population of nearly 120,000. A brehkwater recently completed, under the supervision of Sir J. Coode, at ( cost of £650,000, enables vessels of the largest size to lie in safety throughout the heaviett monsoon. It has thus become a first-class port, and from its unsurpassed geographical positioi is destined to become the centre of the commerce of the Eastern seas. Colombo is distant 2500 miles from Aden, 600 from Madras, 900 from Bombay, 1400 from Calcutta, 160U from Singapore, 3000 from Hong Kong, 3000 from W. Australia. Ftovions to the construction of the Colombo breakwater, Gallc, on the south coast, mi tho port of call for mail steamers, but the natural harbour of the island is Trincomalee on tlie N.E. coast. This has been fur many years the rendezvous of H.M.S. vessels on the IM Indian Station, and still remains so ; it is easy of access in all weather, and has a magnificent nnd safe anchorage. Turning now to the products of the island, we find Ceylon in ancient days the far-famed land of pearls and precious stones. Much activity is still shown in the search for gems, and j the value of the stones annually discovered is considerable. This mining, as well as that for plumbago, is entirely in the hands of the natives. Plumbago or " Graphite" mines are largely worked in the Weetern Province. The produce is chiefly exported to Great Britain and the United States, where it is utilized iu the manufacture of pencils, crucibles and portable fumacea. The amount of plumbago raised and exported in 1882 was upwards of 240,000 owts. The pearl fishery, though precarious and uncertain, is still in favourable years a valuable j addition to the revenue. In the last successful fishery, held in 1881, the Government share j realised £59,900. The same primitive system of gathering the oysters exists as in ancient time*.

A limited numl>er of boata and divera are licensed ; every oyater ia gathered by the liand of the diver, no dredger or implement of any kind being used. The Government take as royidty two-thinia of the oyatera tliua gathered, which are aold by public auction at the oloao of euuh day'a flsbing. The munufaotiiro of salt atiU remains a Government monopoly, and producos a profit of from £80,000 to £1)0,000 pur annum, the salt being sold by Government ut 4». 8d, a cwt. The mniKiiraly is, jtrimu facie, open to the obvious nbjoctinns whioli attach to nil tnxcs on necessaries of life; and if tlie circumstances uf tho country were such aa to make it possible for the Govorn- mont to disf'cnse with tlio rovonuu derived from the monopoly, theso objeotinna would have niiich weiglit. But the relation between the general revenue and tho rcquircnionts of the island jg such that it would be difHcult to nbnndua the revenuo derived from salt without at the same time abandoning tho execution of public works of muterial importance, including the oxtensiun aud the efSoiont maintenance of moans of communication. The significance of such a step to tho native population may be realised from the fact that until a comparatively recent date there were distriols in the island where the coat of transport added as much as 200 per cent, to tho price clinrgcd by Government for salt on the seaboard. Gold, ailver, ivory, and tortoiaeshell work are alao among the important native industries, together with pottery, mata, fans and wood carving. The beautiful woods indigenous to the inland give gnat scope to the ingenioua native carvera and cabinet makera ; among tho roost valuable are — ebony, ratiu wood, calamander, jak, nedun, palai, hronwood, halmililla, &c. Tho exhibits of these several industries will repay careful inspection. The seas surrounding the shores abound in fish, and the coast line, especially in tho S. W. and N. Provinces, is thickly populated, and has the appearance of an endless villngo, the inhabitants of which are tliriving, and whose wants are aatiafled by a few Loivs' fishing with tho most primitive appliances. Tlie Sinhalese, however, ore mainly an ogricultural race, and tho vast majority are engaged in tilling the soil. The stupendoua works commenced 500 b.o. and continued by successive kings of Ceylon in the construction of innumerablo reservoirs or tanks for storing tho raiufall for irrigation purposes, testify to the great importance attached to agriculture in ancient times.* The Legislature has for some years voted comiderable sums annually from tlio general Tovonue for the repair, maintenance, aud improvement of these tanks, and to smaller works, to tho immense advantage of the rural population. The Sinhalese cultivation ia now chiefly confined to tho proE SOYSA, C. H., J.F. MABIEAB, MACAB, O. L. M. LEBBE, MEEBA ISMAIL, A. L. BAYLEY, CAFT. F. DE BEEB, A., Esq. NOCKOLD, B. C, Esq.

A good aooennt of the ialanda is contained in a book entitled "Six Yean in Seychelles," whksh has been lately published by Mr. Bstridge, who has for some years held anoffloisl position in Msh^ the ohief of the group. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept a copy of this work, whiob is well worthy of perusal by naturalists interested in our Eastern odonies. Ifr. Estridge has been at pains to amass a collection of the ohief objects of interest found in the islands oomprising many hitherto little known as existing there. Among the articles exhibited are specimens of the fruit of the Oooo-de-mer (a species of palm tree which grows only in these islands), which indnde a rare exhibit of that product in its treUe deretopment, as well as some eccentric growths of the common cocoa-nut. There are also examples of the curious insect called the Walking Leaf, of the MiUe Paite or thousand-footed worm, and of a Tariety of scorpions, ftogs, and snakes. There are a goodly number of skinned fish, and the collection comprises some peculiar crabs, raystails, and starfish. We notice also a small hawk of which even the British Museum oannot boast a representa- tive, and some fine flying foxes. Even the geological formation of the islands has not escaped Mr. Estridge's vigilance, and he shows us some good pieces of black and amethystine quartz, nacrite, and oUier stones. A most beantifU specimen of a ooral garden is also shown. Several sketohes of fruits, flowers, and other oljeots complete a collection which cannot tail to ftttiact considerable interest ? 4 854 THOMAS BLAND & SONS, •"I .

It is ex> oeedingly neat and handy, and its shooting, both with solid and expanding bullets, is most accurate.

Ttan Bettlemento ooiuiit of Bingapora, an island at the aouth of tho Malay Feninaula ; Penang, an laland offloially known aa Prinoa of Wales Island, on the wast ooast of that peninrala ; and a strip of land opposite known as Provinoe Wellesley ; the Dindings, several Islands with • strip of territory on tiie mainland to the south of Penang; and Malacca, situated between the Dindings and Singapore. Singapore contains an area of 206 square miles ; Penang, 107 ; Province Wellesley, 207 ; Malacca, 689 ; the Dindings, including the island of Pankor, about the same area as Singapore. Malacca was taken possession of by the Portuguese in ISll, and remained in their hands until 1641, when it was occupied by the Notherlanders, and retained by them until 1795. Between the last-named date and 1818 it was in the occupation of the English, but was restored to the Netherlands in 1818. By a treaty with Holland dated 17th March, 1824, Malacca was again ceded to England in exchange for Benooolen in Sumatra. It was agreed moreover that England would not attempt to form any settlements in Sumatra, nor the Notherlanders in the Malay Peninsula. Penang was ceded to England in 1785 by the B^jah of Kedah; Provinoe Wellesley being also acquired from the Bajah a few years later to enable the authorities to put down the prevaUing piracy which played havoc amongst the European merchantmen. This latter territory is bounded by the Muda Biver, and by a line ten miles south of the Krion Biver. Penang was the seat of Qovemment of the Straits Settlements until 1882, since which date it has been carried on at Singapore. l^e Dindings were ceded to the Oolony by Treaty in 1874. The chief productions of the peninsula consist of tin, sugar, spices, rice, tapioca, sago, hides, horns, gum, coffee and tobacco, but many of these are not grown in English territory. * TnAe is largely on the increase, as will be shown by a comparison of the returns of the united imports and exports for the yean 1859-60 and 1884 given below : — 1859-60 1884 Singapore Penang .

The total population of the Settlements, in 1881, was 423,884, as against 807,951 iu 1871, aad 273.000 in 1866. The following table will give an idea of the mixed character of the inhabitants:— Singapore '. • Penang Provinoe Wellesley Malacca Dindings Europetn*. MaUyi. Chinese.

The Colony has important political relations vith tho peignbouring Malay countries, three of which are under British protection, and have contributed their respective shares to the Exhibition. These three States, Pcrak, Selangor, and Bungni Ujong, extend from the border of Province Wellcsley to that of Malacca. They are governed by their native rulers, acting with the advice and assistance of an officer styled the British Resident, who is appointed by Her Majesty's Government, and is directly subject to the Governor of the Straits Settlements. Each State has also its staff of European and native officers. Of tho three States, Perak, with an extent of 7,940 square tniles of territory, and a population of 118,000 persons, is the most important. A Resident was first appointed to Perak in 1874, under the treaty of Pankro, and the State has since made rapid progress. The revenue has risen from £64,728 in 1877 to £288,749 in 1884 ; life and property are secnre ; a railway connecting the chief town, Thaipeng, with the sea, and a complete system of roads and telegraphs have been constructed, bringing the various portions of the State, which up to 1874 were connected only by tho rivers, into dose inte^ communication. The principal industry of the State is the mining, its agriculture having been as yet bnt little developed. Tho soil is, however, rich, and its adaptability to all kinds of tropical produce has been demonstrated, ani requires only the introduction of capital to yield good returns. Tapioca, pepper, rice, sugar, oofl'ee and tea have all been successfully cultivated. Liberal land regulations have been passed by the State Government. Among the exhibiU sent by the State is a full-sized Malay house, which hos been erected in the Exhibition by Malay carpenters, and is built and furnished entirely with materials sent for the purpose and in accordance with native custom. Tlie State of Selangor occupies aix area of about 3,000 square miles. It lies immediately bouth of Peruk, from which it is separated by the Barnam river. Like Perak, the State is chiefly dependent on tin mining for its prosperity, though small plantations of coffee, cacao and pepper have been established, and are doing well, in various parts of the State. A railway, twenty-two miles in length, connecting Kwala Lumpur, the capital, with the sea, ia under construction, and will be opened for traffic in July 188G. Thu revenue, which amounted to £32,24G in 1876, had increased to £75,110 in 1888. Tho population amounts to 46,568 person?. Shugai Ujong has an area of 660 square miles, and is situated to the south of Selangor and uorth-west of Malacca. The population consists of about 14,000 persouH, and the revenue •amounted in 1884 to £20,106. Tin mining, which in former years was largely carried on in the State, has now fallen away, but Arabian coffee and cinchona on the hills, and tapioca, Liberiau coffee, cacao, and pepper in the lowland.'^, are being successfully cultivated. The Court of the Straits Settlements and Pr'^t«oted Native States lies mainly in the Eiist Gallery and East Arcade, though a small portion of it is situated between those of British Guiana and Hong Kong.

HoNa EoNO is aa idand, 12 miles eut-sottth-«aat ftom the estuary of the Cauton Biver, and 90 miles from Canton, the capital of Southern Ohina. It is, with its dependencies, a Colony of Great Britain. The name " Hong Kong " is derived from the Chinese '• Heung Kong," meaning the fragrant Sea Port. The island was formerly, and still is, generally known among the Chinese by the name of Kwan Tai Lo, meaning Petticoat String Boad, the original road or pathway along the northern nhore, being compared by the Chinese to a petticoat string. The island of Hong Kong is situated between 22° 10' aud 22° 17' north latitude, and 111° 6' and 111° 18' east longitude. It is bounded on the nortli by the harbour of Victoria, on the north-east by a pass, from a quarter to half a mile wido, known as the Ly-ee-moon pass, on the east by Tathong Channel, and on the south and west by the China Sea, here studded with numerous islands and islets. Victoria Harbour, Ly-eo-moon (lass, and Tathong Channel separate the island from the mainland of China within the province of Kwong-tung, not the least riotoas of the provinces of China. The island of Hong Kong has a circumferoneo of 27 miles, and an area of 30 square miles, very little of which can be called cultivable land, owing to the abrupt and rooky hills composing by far the greatest part of the area. It was ceded to Great Britain, together with the harbour and islets, in January 1841, and the cession was confirmed by the Treaty of Nanking in Augui^t 1842. Hong Kong and its dependencies wore erected into " the Colony of Hong Kong," by Letters Patent bearing date the 5th April, 1843. In October 1860, a part of the mainland jutting into Victoria Harbour, and known as the Kowloon Peninsula, containing an area of 8 square miles, was also ceded to Great Britain as a dependency of the Colony of Hong Kong. The name Kowloon is derived from Kaulang, the nine dragons. The administration of the Colony, until recently, was in the hands of the Governor, with an Executive Council of five Official Members, and a Legislative Council of four Official and four Unofficial Members, presided over by the Governor, all the Unofficial Members having been nominated by the Crown on the Governor's recommendation. Since the advent of His Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the present Governor, and on his reconuneudation, the Councils have been remodelled, and the Executive now consists of six Official Members, and the Legislative Council of six Official and five Unofficial Members, three of the latter being nominated by the Crown, and the other two being elected by local representative bodies, viz., one by the Chamber of Commerce, and one by the Justices of the Peace, not being Government Officers. The island of Hong Kong consists for the greater part of abrupt and rooky hills. Indeed, the north side of the island is separated from the south by a continuous range of higli hills, terminating in rocky peaks, mostly upwards of 1,000 feet above the soa-level, whilo Victoria Peak on the west side, and Mount Porker on the eost sido, aro from 1,820 to 1,840 feet high. The average width of the island is only 8 miles, and the descent from tho hills to the sea is consequently very abrupt and precipitous. The oastorn division of the island is much wider, the hills extending more to the north, and also n greater distance to the south, so that the extreme width of the island, about 7 miles, is there obtained. The south-eastern part of the island is divided, however, by an inlet of tlie sea a mile and a half brood and running for 8 miles between tho hills, called Taitam Bay. This bay forms the south-eastern side of the island into two peninsulas, known us the Taitam and D'Aguilar peninsulas. During heavy rains all the ravines are turned into torrents, but in the winter season, when comparatively little rain lulls, most of them are dry. There is, however, a curious and even remarkable exception in some few of the ravines, which are channels for streamlets, furnishing continually a good supply of water, and not fuUiug in the driest season, when all others are dried up. The island is composed principally of granite, in various stugcs, and there is little or no soil ■m m :•!> ^1^ li '\^-m 866 HongK/mg. properly ao called. The nirfiMse of the island ii moitly deoompoied granite and hard took, although on the tops of some of the higher hills large beds of day are found. Embedded in tbe decomposed granite are huge round boulders, from 10 to 20 feet in diameter, of hard granite, having the quartz, mica, and felspar veil proportioned, and of the best description for building purposes. The Zoology of Hong Kong is limited as regards wild animals to a species of wild cat, but this is not numerous. The domestic animals in addition to dogs and cato are bnfbloes, goats and pigs. Beptiles are numerous, and include pythons and snakes ot Tarious kinds (two of which only the cobra and a green snake, popularly known as the bamboo snake, have bee.i found to be pdsononi), lisards, iguanas, bull and edible ftogs, and newts. The insects are most numerous, comprising beetles of all kinds, mosquitoes, dragon-flies, locusts, ants, wasps, bees, butterflies, moths, spiden, centipedes, scorpions, snails, worms, flre-flies, glow-worms, Ac. White ants are also very common and destructive. Oysters, cutUefiah, sea stars, jelly fish, and sea anemones are plentiful in the waters of the Colony. Since the first Preservation of Bird's Ordinance was passed in 1870, varioot kinds of birds now find their home undisturbed in the Colony. The rapacious birds include sparrow, hawks, and kites. The perching birds are goat-suckers, king-fishers, fly-catchets, wagtails, tom-tits, larks, house sparrows, Java sparrows, numerous magpies, of both large and small varieties. The cltmbing birds include several kinds of woodpeckers, and among the gallinaceous birds are peacock and other pheasants, and numerous pigeons and doves. In the marshes and paddy fields adjoining some parts of the Canton Biver, rice birds, quail, teal, heroDs, and snipe are found. The Flora of Hong Kong comprises over 1,200 species, the importance of which to the botanist will be understood when it is considered that the late Mr. Bentham in his valuable work * Flora Hongkongensis' enumerated 1,066 species, which are distributed into 59 genera, and 125 natural orders. Since that time discoveries new to botanical science have been, and are still being made ; indeed, since 1861 to the present time, over 180 species have been added to Mr. Bentham's liat. Scattered over the island may be found many trees, shrubs and plants, not only interesting to the ordinary observer, but valuable to the scientist. Hong Kong is the natural home of the beautiful BhodoloBia Ohampioni, as well as of several other well-known plants, such as the camellia, azalia, long-flowered lily, hibiscus, strychinos, thorn apple and gelsemium. Ferns and orchids alio abound on the island and are most varied and beautiftd. Hong Kong is situated within the region of the monsoons, by which the climate of the Colony is largely influenced. The climate of Hong Kong, like the climate of the whole of Southern China, is particularly damp in summer during the south-west monsoon, and particularly dry in autumu and winter during the north-east monsoon. The seasons are therefore divided into wet and dry, the former commencing with May and ending with September, the latter lasting from October to April. At the commencement of the year the north-east monsoon is blowing steadily, sometimes with great force, and continues without interruption until the beginning of March, when it becomes reduced in force, then wavers, and gradually dies away. In years of great summer-heat in Australia and the southern hemisphere, the easterly trade wind of the Pacific Ocean and its north-western boundary, the north-east monsoon, is drawn several degrees further south than usual, and almost on to the Equator, thus giving a longer and cooler spring to Hong Kong. By the 'end of May the south-west monsoon is generally set in. It commences with a strong breeze, but is never equal in weight or force to the north-east monsoon. Although bringing tremendous downpours of rain, lasting a longer or shorter time, it is the fine weather-period of the year to the savigator of the China Seas, with sometimes a terrible exception, for the period of the south-west monsoon is the season for those great, and often fearfully destructive revolving storms known as typhoons. The south-west monsoon is generally ended with the month of October, when the north-east monsoon at once commences, and conthiues with varying energy, sometimes coming down in tho full burst of a hard gale, until the following spring. The average annual rainfall is 85 inches, of which 70 inches fall from May to September. YiOTOBiA.— The flourishing town of Victoria, the centre of the Colonial Government, and the trade and commerce of the Colony, is beautiAiUy situated on the north side of the island, along Victoria Bay, and fronting its magnificent harbour.

Nearly 200,000 acres of land have been selected, nurseries have been planted with sugar and tobacco, but, owing to the depression of trade, the area under cultivation is very limited. By the Company's Begulations land can be purchased at one dollar an acre, and under special agreement and conditions concessions have been made at 30 cents. The much esteemed bilian, or iron wood of Borneo, is found in large quantities, and several otiier kinds of valuable timber abound. A saw-mill is in full work at Sandakan. GtoVEBNMEMT. The Government is administered by a Qovemor, assisted by a Council, and by a Colonial Secretary and Besidents ; and the mode of Government of a British Crown Colony is adhered to as far as practicable. Finance and BfivsNcti. The sources from which the revenue is drawn consist chiefly of the licehces for purchasing and retailing opium for smoking, for the sale of spirits, and other exciseable articles, all of which are farmed out to private individuals ; 10 per cent, royalty on jungle produce exported ; a poll tax, an old-established source of revenue among the natives, in lieu of land taxes, and a stamp duty. The land revenue comprises the proceeds of sales of public lands, quit rents, and fees on trans- fers. There are, in addition, Judicial fees and Post Office Stamps ; these, and a few miscellaneous items, make up the remaining sources of revenue. Climate and Sanitabt CoxDitioN. The Principal Medical OfBcer, Dr. Walker, reports : " The rainfall is well distributed, and although there are distinct wet and dry seasons, there is not, as in many tropical places, con- tinuous rain night and day for weeks, followed by weeks or months of absolute dry weather. The greater part of the rain falls during the night, ond although showers during tlie day are not unusual, especially in the wet season, a day of continuous rain is rare. The temperature also varies very slightly throughout the year. It will be observed that the range of the monthly average minimum temperature is only from 71 -6 to 75*2 degrees, while the extreme range of the daily minimum temperature is only 67 '6 to 77*5 degrees. It will thus be seen that the nights are always cool. The coldest time in the twenty-four hours generally from two to five AM, The range of variation of monthly mean maximum temperature is from 82*3 to 91 '5 degrees, while the highest temperature ever recorded in the shade was 93*5 degrees. "A noticeable point is the absence of the so-called 'cold' season, which is recognised as the most unhealthy period in India. The coldest months are November, December, January, February, and March, while in the middle of tho hot season there is a fall of temperature during June and July. The temperature of any month depends very much on the amount of rainfall. It may be stated generally that tho heat is not oppressive, and I have been assured by several persons that a, temperature of 90 degrees here is less oppressive than one 10 degrees lower in China or Ceylon. Hence it is never impossible, and rarely unpleasant, to walk about during the heat of ihe day, while several of our European residents wear no better protection for their Laad than a simple straw hat. " Winch. — The monsoons are the south-west, lasting from April to November, and the north- east, from December to March. The first and last months of each monsoon is variable. This change of the monsoon is the most unhealthy period. A well-selected site is never practically without at least a gentle breeze, though from eleven a.h. till two p.m. it may be slight, hence punkahs are not required. Squalls occur occasionally in the evening or at night, but not of a severe character. Hurricanes are not found so near the Equator. *' General C(mcltuioni.—I am inclined to take a very hopeful view of the future salubrity of the territory. The paris that are at present unhealthy will certainly improve as tho country gets opened up, and to an extent that will far outbalance the change in the temperature and consequent change in the type of disease that will certainly follow the felling of the jungle. ii 374 British Norih Borneo. The enemy I am most afraid of in this oonntry Is biri biri. Altogether looking at the ■nitability of the climate, the healthineei of this aa a new oonntry, and the mild type of the dlBeases that prevail, and moat of all, at the present bealthiness of well-selected stations, I think there is every reason to hope that North Borneo will eventually prove to be one of the healthiest of all tropicfd climates." MONETABT. There is no Bank at present in the territory, but a copper and paper currency nnder the guarantee of the Company, with proper reserves, and the banlpng facilities afforded by the Government Treasury provide in some degree for the requirements of the country, as the notes of the Company are payable by their agents in Hong Kong and Singapore. Much more might be added on the Climatic, sanitary, and other physical conditions of the territory as an exceptionally favoured tropic region, out of the lino of earthquakes and typhoons, which work such havoc and devastation in the PLilippinea in the north, and the Dutch pos- sessions further south. But enough has probably been said, it is believed, to establish in the minds of those who read, the conviction that the progress already made in five years will compare favourably with that of any Colony under the direct control of Her Majesty's Oovemment. TIMBER EXHIBITS. The forest trees of British North Borneo are very numerous, and amount to about seventy- eight known kinds. Some of these are valuable for world-wide uses, ancl exist in such quantities as renders the use of them available in those countries where wood 's scarce, particularly China and Australia, which are only distant some 1,100 miles from British North Borneo; countries which atford markets for enormous quantities of timber now chiefly obtained from North America.

By G. H. Hawtaynk, F.R.G.S. The Colony of British Guiana lies between Venenola, BniBil, Dutch Guiana and the Atlantic Ocean on the north-east Coast of South America, and first settled by the Dutch in 1580, has since 1803 belonged to England. Its area is computed at 76,000 square miles, but the boundaries between it and Venezuela and Brazil are undetermined. For some miles from the sea, which is ofanunattractivedirty yellow huo, the land is low and flat, being a rich alluvial deposit, in which coffeo and cotton once grow ; and in later days the sugar-cane flourishes luxuriantly. Ita rivers are broad, and have their aouroea hundreds of miles away in the interior. Large vessels ascend these streams for long distances, but beyond the rivers are crossed by rock formations, over which they plunge and fall; and it ia only the Indian's light dugKmtor corrialthat can pass these obstructions. The climate is warm but not oppressive. The thermometer, it is true, ranges from 75° to 90°, but a refreshing sea-breeze tempers the heat. The Colony is not so unhealthy as is generally inpposed, and with care and ordinary precaution good health can be enjoyed. The population is mixed. It numbers 264,000, more or less, and comprises Europeans, Aboriginal Indians, West Indians, Portuguese, Africans, Chinese, and lastly East Indians, who were reckoned at upward of 92,000 in 1885. The Flora is rich, but as yet only partially explored. Ita chief features are its lofty trees and palms, and the abundance of flowering creepers, &o., which cling to the tallest branches. The forests abound in timber trees of great value and variety. The Fauna is interesting and deserves researdi. Tho Labbo^of which it is said that he whe eats its flesh and drinks Creek water will always return to Guiana— the ogouti and watorhaas are tho most prominent animals of the Colony, but monkeys and ant bears, and so-called "tigers," jaguars and pumas, deer, opossums and manatees are also not uncommon. The birds are abundant and of rare beauty. Many fish of many kinds inhabit the sea and rivora. Alligators, snakes and turtle are common objects; and life is prevented from becoming too enjoyable by the bats and ants, mosquitoes and beetles. Sugar is the chief product, and on the success of this depends the prosperity if not the existence of the Colony. Of other cultivation there is at the present day comparatively little. Cotton has died out, because labour is dearer, and less certain and constant than it was <' beforetlme." Coffee, too, the successful cultivation and reaping of which depends on a reliable supply of labour, is only grown on a small scale, although the Liberian variety shows promise of rewarding the pains of those who plant it. Cacao culture is only in its infancy, and so at present the cane is the chief, if not the only support of tho Colony. Of sugar, large quantities are raised and exported. In 1885 the crop, which was reckoned but a short one, reached 106,532 hhds. ; in the previous year it was 189,296. In the Exhibition will be found abundant specimens of the fine sugars produced in the Colony— Muscovado (once known as "moist" or " brown "X white and yellow crystals, and dark sugar, the latter rich in saccharine matter, but with a colour which permits its introduction into the American market for refining purposes at a low rate of duty. Molasses and Bum are also shown. 880 Btitith Ouidna, The ptoprieton of angw pUntations ipare no tnmble, no expenae in oaltlratlon and machinery ; no atone ia left nnturned to nudntain • foiemoat lank in the Britiah marker. This | atmggle haa of late been rendered most di£9onlt by the competition of bounty-supported augarg from tiie Continent of Europe. How much longer it can be continued remains to be seen, but it is evident that with the dissolution of the sugar industry grave trouble and diflBoulties must j arise in a community constituted as is that of British Ouiana. The Ethnological collection in the Oourt is very interesting, and contains specimens of the weapons and other articles in use among the native Indians. Four figures represent these people, ond will no doubt attract attention. The Commissioners hope as the season advances, to present to the public a party of six Indians, who will be placed in a facsimile of their huts, and will bo occupied in basket-making, hammock weaving, &c., as in their native land. Arrangements havo been entered into for the exhibition of specimens of gold. This precious metal is found in considerable quantity in British Ouiana, and it is hoped that steps will be taken for the protection and encouragement of gold mining in the Colony. The specimens in the Exhibition will give some idea of the variety and cxcellenco of the timbers of the Colony. Some of them, as Mora and Qreenheart, are already well known iu Europe, where they are used in shipbuilding, and as pQes, &o. The resistance shown by some of these woods to the action of salt or fresh water and to the attacks of the teredo render them of great value. Others are peculiarly fitted for cabinet work, and it is hoped that the Exhibition may be the means of introducing to the notice of merchants and manufacturers many of these woods. Every information as to their qualities, uses and supply will be found in the Special Catalogue, or in the notes appended to the Lists furnished by Messrs Park & Cunningham, who exhibit a large number of well-selected specimens. The fibres of British Guiana are comparatively unknown in the European market Cotton, which was once largely grown, is no longer cultivated, although the soil is well fitted for its | production. Many of the fibres shown may take the place of hemp and bast, and it only needs a demand to call forth a constant supply at low prices. The collection shown is a very large one, and if any specimens are deemed worthy of examination and trial, the Commissioners will be glad to supply samples for the purpose. The hammocks, &c., exhibited are evidence of the good qualities of the native fibres. The minerals of British Guiana are not numerous nor of much commercial value, with the I exception of gold, wliioh exists in considerable quantities. At present, owing to difficulties as to boundaries, capitalists are unwilling to engage in mining undertakings . but there is no donbt that with settled boundaries and protection to such enterprises, gold mining would become one of the most lucrative industries of the Colony. Iron exists in great abundance, but no attempts [ have been made to turn it to account. British Guiana is rich in gums, oils, and barks, and exhibits fine specimens of Oum Animi and I of Ballata, whioh will be found in its first stage as milk, and in rolls, sheets, &c. This gum ia in some respects superior to caoutohouo and gutta-percha. A very exhaustive report on its collection and properties has been written by Mr. Jenmon, the Government Botanist of the | Colony, which is well deserving of perusal. The ** Gillbooker glue," which is made into Isinglass, with a specimen of the fish {Silum I Parkeri) from whence it is obtained, are exhibited. Tonca or Tonquin beans, which are found in large quantities, are also shown; as are several kinds of oil. The barks are very numerous, and it is desirable that their properties should be ascertained. Many are useful for tanning purposes, and others are employed by the Indians in various cases of illness or accident. To those who are desirous of making researches into the qualities of these barks, samples will \» | readUy given on application. The food products comprise the meal and starch of the Cassada, which is the staple food of the Indian. Cassareep, which is largely used on account of its antiseptic properties, is also shown ; as are dried plantains and bananas, the former of which is stated to be one of the most BritUh Ouiana. 881 rat on tud rket; Thia rted sugars seen, but it lulties must lena of the lieae people, I, to present rad will be ments have is found in len for the nutritious articles of food known. The cacao and coffee exhibited are of good quality, and show that the soil of the Oolony is well adapted to their ottltivation. Coffee it it well known, was one of the chief exports of former days, and realized a large price in the English markets. The collections illustrative of the natural history of British Quiana will repay inspection, as will many other exhibits, to which more particular reference cannot be made in this brief notice.

Greenheart,or Bibiru {Nectandra liodixi, Bchomb). There are three varieties of Green- heart, yellow, black, nnd moinop, all most ser- viceable and durable woods, if out when arrived at maturity. Greenheart is ono of our tallest forest trees, and logs can be had from 18 to 24 in. square, aud 70 ft. long. Greenheart is one of tlie eight first-class woods ot Lloyd's ; and admi- rable kelsons, knee and other timbers can be had of it. Sawn into scantling it is used for planking vessels. For wharves, house-framing, mill timbers and many other purposes, Green- heart is unsurpassed by any other wood in the colony. From the bark and seeds " Bibirino is extracted. 28. Eta-Balli (Vochysia guyanensis, Aubl.). Eta-Balli is plentiful in low situations near the rivers and creeks. The wood is little used. The tree attains an average height of about 90 ft., and will square 18 in. freo of sap. 29. Wild Gunva (Psidium sp.). These trees are not plentiful, and the wood is little known or used.

In order to illustrate aa thoroughly as possible the history of the Colonies, whose discovery by Columbus, in 1492, led to the inoaloulably important results by subsequently throwing open to ciTilization the vast Continents of Amerioa, the Commissioner for the West Indies has endeavoured to gather together as many object* of interest bearing upon the subject as was possible. It was, of course, found impossible to include in this scheme such extremely valuable treasures aa genuine autographs of Columbus or MS. of liis travels, although his immediate descendant, the Duke of Yeragua, most courteously offered to loan several of his great ancestor's relics. For obvious reasons, it was deemed prudent to decline his Grace's goneroaity. Still, tlio kindness of many contributors has 8u£Sced to render the Gallery exceedingly interesting, and to them iho Commissioner takes this opportunity of expressing his sincere thanks. PlOTCBBS, HiSTOBIOAL BeUOS, BOOKS AND Engravings. A Series of Oil Paintings — several of which are highly interesting iVom their antiquity, and also as being works by great masters — representing those Kings and Queens of England who have direotljr figured in the bistorv of the West Indies, either by sending out discoverers, appointing Governors, or by granting Charters for the development of their commerce, have been arranged round the upper portion of the walls above the other pictures. They are : — Henry YIII., by Holbein. Loaned by Sir Robert Bawlinsoni During the younger years of this King's life, America was discovered. Ho watched with deep interest the great achievements of the Spanish Discoverer, and even used his best endeavours to inspire his own people to emulate them. Queen Elizabeth, by Frederico Zucchero. .Loaned by Sir B. Bawlinson. ■ England first turned her attention to the West Indies in the latter part of this great Queen's reign. Discarding the pretensions of Spain, Elizabeth, if she did not precisely seize the idands, at least took moral possession of them — as Dolby Thomas says in his History of the Wett Indian Colonies (1690)— by "letting loose upon them those sea-lions, Drake, Baleigh, and Clifford, and many braves that age produced, and by encouraging them in bold enterprises — ^like those the Bncanneers practice — «na thereby Mtving the way to the opening ont of the Continent of America." This Queen also sent to the Bahamas its first Governor, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, in 1578. James I., by Van Somer, Loaned by Mr. Graves, of Pall Mall. It was during the reign of this Kinj); that the earliest English settlement was established in Barbados, and the capital of . that island assumed his name of Jamestown, subsequently changed, after tho fall of tho Houso of Stuart, to Georgetown. Charles I. and his Queen Henrietta, by Mytens. Loaned by Mr. Graves. This Monarch sent out several of the earliest Governors to various Islands which thus obtained a regular form of Government and useful Charters for the better regulation of commerce and suppression of crime. He was likewise deeply interested in the establishment of the first missions of the Established Church. Charles II., by Sir Peter Lely. Loaned by Mr. Graves. This Monarch took a very practical interest in the West Indies, and granted several of them, notably the Bahamas, to a syndicate formed by George, Duke of Albemarle, Lord Craven, Sir George Cartaret, John, Lord Berke- ley, Anthony, Lord Ashley, and Sir Peter Colleton. He also granted Charters for the formation of settlements. In his reign the first regular Government was established in Jamaica. James II., by Walker. Loaned by Mr. Graves. He continued his brother's line of policy, and paid great attention to the West Indian Colonies. William and Mary, by William Wining. Loaned by Mr. Graves. Granted many privileges to the West Indies, and a number of missionaries were sent out. The West Indian Company was established in this reign. George I., by Godfrey Kneller. Loaned by Mr. Graves. Anquilla and the Tirgin Islands settled. Several important Acts were passed for the regulation of the slave trade. ^:i 806 Wett Indian Gallery. . George III., by Gainsburgh, B.A. Loaned by Mr. Graves. Under the long reign of this King, the West Indies attained a great and unprecedented prosperity. In 1808, the slave trade terminated. During the reigns of George lY. and William IV., the emancipation of the slaves was aocom- plishcd. In the collection of engraviugs will be found portraits of Henry VII. and his Queen, in whose reign the Islands were discovered. Nelson, by Abbott. Loaned by Mr. Graves. He successfully carried out an expedition to Jamaica against Ban Juan di Nicaragua in 1776. Alexandre, Earl of Bnlcarres. Loaned by the Earl of Crawford and Balcarrcs. The Earl of Balcarros was Governor of Jamaica from 1795 to 1798. Under his rule the great rebellion, known aa the "maroon," was quelled. This picture is appropriately hung in the Jamaica section, as is also his sword. Sir Christopher Hatton. Loaned by Sir Francis Bolton. Lord Chancellor of England in the latter part of Elizabeth's reign. He was greatly instrumental in the sending out of "adven- turers"— if such men as Baleigh, Drake, and Hawkins can be so culled— and was a zealous supporter of his Boyal Mistress in her schemes for annexing the West Indian Colonies. The central portrait is that of Columbus, by Sir Antonio Moro. This remarkable painting, the oldest portrait of Columbus known to exist in England, is kindly loaned by Mr. Graves. Its history is as follows : *' It was painted by Mr. Anthony Moro, for Margaret, Governess of the Netherlands, and was brought to this country about the year 1590, and has been in the possession of one family until very recently, when it was purchased by Mr. Cribb, of King Street, Covent Garden. The character- istics of the mind and features of Columbus are so forcibly depicted in this picture, that uo doubt can remain but that it is a true and per- fect resemblance of the great navigator. " Diego Columbus, in his Hiat del Almirante Don Chist. Colon, e. 3., says: 'The Admiral was a man well formed, and above the middle height, his head was large, his cheek bones rather high, his cheeks neither fat nor lean, aquiline nose, his eyes small, light blue or grey, with the white parts rather inflamed.' Mr. Frescott says: 'He had a majestic presence with much dignity, and at the same time affa- bility of manner.' It has been frequently engraved, and forma the frontispiece to the second edition of the life of Columbus, by Washington Irving, by special request of tliat famous author. The Pidurei are deieribed aeeording to the PaneU upon which they are placed. First Panel on Left-hand. — At the top are four pictures by ]kLr. Cazabon, representing Views in Trinidad. The Central picture is a large wator-oolour drawiug of the *' Triumphal Entry of Columbus into Barcelona, after the discovery of America." Under it is a smaller [>icturo called " The Dream of the Young Co- umbus," who is here seen reclining upon a rock looking dreandly towards the horizon, beyond which he imagined, even at an early age, existed some unknown land. To the loft of this picture is one representing "Columbus landing in Bahamas, on October 14th, 1492." These three brilliant works are by Signer Olivetti, of Bome, one of the great Fortuny's favourite pupils. A water-colour, representing a « View in Barbados." is by Miss M. Tothil, a Barbados lady, who exhibits several other admirable works in the Court. She is also the paintor of the picture representing a negrcss with a bright red turban on her head. The Trinidad views on the lower line are by Mr. Cazabon, and the very pretty View in Granadu on the right is by Miss C. Croome. Second Panel on Left hand. — Here are tlirco views in Granada by Miss Croome, and five iu Trinidad by Mr. Carpenter, an artist whoso works are as deservedly popular in England as they are in America.

Tothil, who also painted "Half-Moon Bay, Barbados." The large picture at the top is a view in Bahamas by Mrs. Blake. The Central Panel. — In the centre is an immense painting of " A Wave breaking upon the Bahamas Coast." The transparency of tho water, the brilliance of the colouring, and the perfection of every detail reflects greatly upon the exceptional powers of the artist, Mr. Bier- stadt. On the left is a portrait of Sir Cliris- topher Hatton, and on tho rigitt one of Nelson. Two pictures representing " Humming Birds " are by Miss Goluworthy, und two others repre- senting "Orchids" arc by Mrs. G. Boss.

This liue design, intended to be represented on a much larger scale, is by Signor Ghidone, of 3, Via Rossini, Milan, one of the foremost Italian sculptors of the time. In the Bahamas Court is a fine Buat of Columbus, by Sig. Lo. Spina, of Bomo. A bronze Bust of Henry VIII., ou the right hand side, is by Bernini, and was executed for Charles I., by this famous sculptor. It is loaned to the Exhibition by Mr. Graves.

Tho splendid Collection of Ancient Maps of the West Indian Inlands, mostly of the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries. Loaned by Sir Graham Briggs, will be found in tho Antigua Court. Borlase Collection of ancient Gold Ornumenis found in British Honduras and Central America. Tho Diego Ribero Map, loaned by the S. Congregation of Propaganda Fide, Rome, b^ permission of His Holiness Pope Loo XIII., is a document of crcat archsBological value. It measures 7 ft. by 3 ft. in width, and is on parchment. The drawing is very perfect and beautiful, being tho work of Diego Ribero, geographer (o Charles V., and was executed by him at Seville in 1529. According to tradition, it was com- menced either in 1491 or 1503, and only fin- ished in 1529, so as to include the latest dis- coveries. It is reported to be the earliest com- plete map of the world in existence. Down the centre passes a slight line dividing tho newly found lands between Spain and Portugal. This is a repetition of the famous divisional line traced by Alexander VI. in 1494. Although the map is full of absurd inaccura- cies, it is nevertheless singularly clear for the early period in which it was produced. The West Indies are shown with much precision, their names being given with considerable elaboration. America, on the other hand, is bnroly indicated, the coast alone being drawn. Africii is introduced with the Nile wandering down to three lakes, situated just above what is now known as the Cape Colony. As a siiecimori of the early geographer's science, and a record of the first yeur of American dis- covery, it is of the greatest value. The Congre- gation of Propaganda also sends a small statis- tical atlas, and an engraving of the celebrated brass map of Marco Polo, the original of which is included in the magnificent collection left to tiiis famous institution by the late Cardinal Borgia. m two to three inches long. Among those which are exhibited are some so small and delicately shaped as to give rise to tho belief that they were originally used as arrow heads. It is almost impossible to fix tho precise date when these imple- ments wore made. The evidences concerning the early civilization of the West Indies and of Central America are most oonfiicting. The splendid ruins of colossal buildings, the remains of charming frescoes, and the delicate tracery of the sculpture, which have been found all over Central America, provo beyond question that the civilization which they illustrate was exceedingly adv id, and quite justifies Mr. Henry Fowler, who has studied with so much profit the antiqu ' British Honduras, in his remark: "That a people must surely excite our wonder ana u. .tion, whose knowledge of astronomy enabled them to measure the true length of the year, within two minutes and nine seconds, at a time when our own calendar was more than ten days in fault. Their sculpture is worthy to be compared to the moat beautiful works of the Augustan age. Their civilization rivalled that of Europe in the middle ages, although it was doubtless degraded by human saorifioes, such as have occurred, however, among tho most advanced nations. Nor must it be forgotten that their traditions of the Deluge came infinitely nearer to that of tho Bible and Chaldean religion than those of any people of the Old World." Sir Graham Briggs has kindly sent a number of unpolished Indian stono implements found in Barbados and the other islands, and also a collection of some which have been very carefully polished, likewise discovered in the same islands. A Collection of Garib Stone Implements, found in St. Kitts, Nevis, Autiguu, Dominica, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent. A number of highly interesting fragments of Pottery, dro., found in British Honduras.

In order to fully Illustrate the Flora of the West Indies — indigenous and acclimatised—' Mrs. Blake, the accomplished wife of the Governor of the Bahamas, has most kindly painted, expressly for the Exhibition, a series of 101 large water-colour drawings, copied from nature. These drawings are nearly all life-size ; they are very carefully finished, and are, for the moat part, correct botanical studies and faithful representations of the plants they illustrate, besides being artistically beautiful. Mrs. Blake, in the majority of her pictures, shows us the plant, its foliage, firuit, and flowers. Sometimes she adds, as a background, a landscape ; and now and then she has included one or two specimens of insects, butterflies and motfas.

No groans of distressed planters, no carping of discontented subalterns, can seriondy damage its reputation for beauty and fertility^ " The Isad of springy" as its familiar name imports, is 144 miles long and 49 broad, with a backbone of loffy mountains ronning its whole length, the highest peaks of which run up to 7,000 feet. Unoh of the scenery is extremely beautifid. Can anything in the world surpass the drire by the coast round the east end of the island, with the white-flecked blue of the Caribbean gleaming oyer the tops of waving ooooanutigroves, and inland a far distant peep of the Blue Mountain Peak fkway behind the valleys and ridges of Portland ? The imhealthiness of the climate is a iinyile myth, the offspring of a disordered life and liver. No doubt there is intense heat in the low-lying districts. We thought Vere terribly parched and dry ; but as a rule there is a balminess in the air for a good part of the day ; and up on the hills one can gradually ascend to a tempera- ture i^oh requires a daUy fire. The island contains 4,193 square miles, and is therefore about the size of Somersetshire, Devon and Cornwall together, being the largest of our insular possessions in the West Indies. It is divided into three counties and fourteen parishes. To Oliver Cromwell's vigour we owe Jamaica. Fenn and Yenables relieved their mis- managed expedition from lasting infamy by wresting Jamaica from the Spaniards. The English have held it ever since. In early days it was the jentre of all the wealth and all the profligacy I cf tbe English buccaneers. The earthquake and the pestilence bespoke the vengeance of I Heaven on the recklessness and debauchery of Port Royal. The statue of Bodney, looking out over Kingston Harbour, testifies to the relief which the great admiral brought to the Colony from French and Spanish attacks. A long and internecine war with the Maroons or escaped negroes devastated estates and homesteads. Tet, amidst all, there grew up the aristocracy of British planters — the "old time" men, as they are plaintively called now. The very names of their estates speak of the thronging hopes, realisations, and disappointments of that prosperous era. The aboUtion of slavery, the equalisation of the sugar duties, were sudden blows from which I Jamaica, like the rest of the West India Islands, is hardly yet recovering. With the decay of wealth I came a certain decay of political strength; where the whole system was oligarchical, a govern- ment by an oligarchy, based on the British representative system, was in accordance with reason; when tike old oligarchy tottered, agitators and jobbers got into the House of Assembly. In 1865 the riots for a moment recalled the rebellion of 1831-2. In a panic, the House of Assembly was induced to vote away its existence. Crown Government stepped in. Its results have lately been tobjeoted to fierce attack ; but no fair critic can deny that under it, in the last twenty years, Jamaica has made considerable strides towards regaining its place amongst British possessions. In 1882 t^e matter of the Florence vote produced an agitation which ended in a reform of the oonstitution and a partial restoration of tbe representative system. All friends of the Colony have hailed this with pleasure, and look to the wisdom and moderation of her elective Council I to justify the concessions made by the Queen. Kingston, the capital of the island, with 40,000 inhabitants, is situated on one of the finest har- I boors in the West Indies. When, some twenty years hence perhaps, the Panama Canal is opened, I this land-locked water may become one of the great coaling stations of the world. Its probable I competitor will be the harbour of Castries in St. Lucia. Kingston is the seat of Government, I the residence of the governor being four miles out on the slopes of the bills. The old capital JBpanish Town is a picturesque but sleepy town some thirteen miles away, inland. There are jthirteen porta of entry besides Kingston ; St. Ann's, Falmouth, and Savsnn»>l»-Mar ,are the leUef. Theie are a number of good trunk roads, vastly improved of late, which make a regular |ud exeellent postal service practicable. The telegraph is spreading over the island. A railway [Owned and managed by govemmtnt has lately been extended to points which will tap the richest 2 D 2 ■•I i.M m fi i 1^ 404 Jamaica. T *■ districts. An effort was made by Sir J. P. Grant to introduoe the Indian system of irrigation, but the Bio Cobre works have so far been a burden on the Golony, and the scheme for the irriga- tion of the otherwise splendid plain of Yere has been completely damped. There la no doubt much to be done still ; but all credit is due to those who have done so much. The agricultural lands fall into two great dlvisiona: the sugar estates to the south and east, the pens or grazing farms, interspersed with pimento trees, to the north and west. Sugar is the greatest single industry of the island; its rum is still the best in the world; no coffee can beat that of the Blue Mountains; but low prices are draggling all those industries, and a sUent revolution has gradually been substituting a new economic system. The negroes, who have been increasing in numbers with some rapidity, are acquiring smaU holdings, and making very good ue of them. Much of the fruit is grown by these men, and fruit for the American market is forming yearly a more important export Mangoes — the prince of West Indian fruits, — oraDges, bananas; and cocoanuts form the chief growth. A good deal of coffee is also grown by them, bnt very little, we fancy, finds its way out of the country. Tobacco has been successfUly grown, but the curing is a failure. On the heights of the Blue Mountains the Government Botanical Department, under Mr. Morris, has very successfully grown and cured cinchona ; but the industry of quinine-producing can hardly be called a '< going concern " as yet. The pimentos of St Ann's give quantities of allspice. The trade in dye-woods is considerable, logwood and Aistio being the chief. The primteval forests of Jamaica have too generally disappeared, and forest ooxtau- vation is become a pressing question. There is still however a great deal of woodland on tht hills, and some of the timber is fine, while the beauty of such wccus as mahoe and yaon surpasses anything known to English cabinet-makers. In the capital there are three or four factories ; one for soap, one for matches, and, the most germane to the country, one or two for preserving fruits and turtle. The operationb of the last in particular are worthy of eveiy effort to improve them, whilo the room for improvement is considerable. The future of sugar production depends on the breakdown of the continental boimtf system, together with improved process of manufacture. There are districts in Jamaica which stand behind none in the world. Two good un'nes in the Plantain Garden Biver would soon become celebrated in the London market. Yere must have artificial irrigation before it can ptj, A great deal of the soil in Jamaica has been overworked ; therefore clumsy modes of cultivation can no longer pay. On choosing situation and soil for each particular product, whether oaSti, cocoa, tobacco, cinchona, much of the ultimate success will depend. Much happiness, manj moderate profits can still be secured in Jamaica. The days of vast fortunes are probably put; but it is so with most of the world. The Colony finds its market as much in New York as Great Britain ; though the most regtdir communication is now with Southampton. A short thne back the Atlas steamers, under i subsidy, kept a regular communication with the States. It was thought that without a subddj the result would be the same, but the regularity of t'ae service is lost. For the fruit trade it is most important to preserve this regular communication, and there should be little difBoult; iu arranging regular calls and ready cargoes. Eighteen days is rather a long journey for finit to England ; but the Boyal Mail Company have steamers that can do the journey two or thne days quicker, and the steamers of the future should reduce the time still Airther. Perhspe^ however. Jamaica cau leave the future supply of the fruit market of Great Britain to the slater colonies to the east of her. Why do not people try Jamaica as a winter health resort? A voyage from the fogs of thi Channel over a tropic sea has both romance and health. In December and January no one cd complain of excessive heat ; while in eighteen days you can leave winter behind and b sitting at night in a moonlit verandah, with the hum of the sugar-mill at work below, or in tin daytime amongst the tropical fiowers and trees, with humming birds flitting over the pnrpk Boganvillia. And there are no venomous snakes or dangerous beasts. The population of Jamaica by last census, was 580,000, being an increase of 78.600 doriil the previous ten years. Of these there are : whites, 14,482 ; coloured, 109,946 ; black, 444,: the remainder being coolies and Chinese. The value of the exports during the year 1885, was £1,408,848 : of the imports £l,487,83Jl and the revenue £545.000.

In Jamaica two very distinct classes of coffee are produced. The total export is about 84,000 cwt. per annum. Of this, about 10,000 cwt. is " Blue Mountain Coffee " of the finest quality, consigned almost entirely to the Liver- pool market, where it sells from 100 to 1428. per cwt. The remaining portion of Jamaica coffee is grown ' chiefly by negro settlers, is badly cured, and houce fetches comparatively low prices. 52.

Jamaica supplies the world with this article, which is ei]iorted in large qnantities from no other country. The pimento tree, which is allied to the myrtle family, grows abundantly on warm limestone bills at eleva- tions from 1,500 to 2,500 feet. Beneath the trees cattle and horses are pastured, feeding on the nutritious " pimento grass." 76. BERESFOKD & OOS8ET.— Bam- boo Pen. J 7. MOSS, lyflold. 78. DAVIDSON, BY.

Cacao, or chocolate, is made from the ouroil beans or seeds of a tree {Theobroma cacao). In conneotion with the development of the flruit trade iu Jamaica, oaoaois receiving great atten- tion, and plantations are being established under the shade of the banana tteies. To yield fine cacao, the beans require to be fermented and carefully cured. On the mauner with which these processes are performed, depends entirely the quality of the caoao, During the last three years, owing to better preparation, tho price of Jamaica caoao has risen about 10 per cent. ; aoid, if systematic attention is paid to the curing of this article, planters niay expect a considerable increase on the present market value. Many years ago. Long, tlio historian, made the following remarks with regard to caoao :— *• This tree once grew so plentiniUy in Jamaica, that the inhabitants flattered them- ■oItoi it would become the source of inexhaust- ible wealth to them ; in 1671 there were forty- five walks in bearing, and many new ones in oultivation ; but some years afterwanls they were all destroyed at once, as it is said, by a blast, wbiob pervaded tho whole island; so that they were never afterwards recovered ; and at present there are but few." The number of oaoao plantations at present is about ten : but several smaller ones are being established, and it is hoped shortly to find Jamaica cacao in the London market in large quantities. X26.

Plants of a medical nature are a marked feature in the indigenous Flora of Jamaica, and in works published from 1735 to the present time numerous references are made to the valuable properties possessed by Jamaica plants. Cinchona (150 acres) and Tea (2 acres) are cultivated experimentally by Government. The following exhibits contain a fairly repre- sentative collection of the medicinal plants (both indigenous and introduced) of the island. 168. HEAVEN, DR.

Numerous plants are found in Jamaica oapa- l>lo of yielding valuable fibre, and considerable interest is being taken in the results of systematic trials undertaken by a committee appointed by government, to test the capabilities of certain machines driven by steam power in the prepara- tion of fibres on a commercial scale. Experi- ments have been carried on during the last few {rears, beginning witli a machine invented by a ocal engineer, Mr. James Kennedy, called the "Eurdca" machine, and continued with a machine known as "Smiths Patent." manu- factured by Death and Ellwood, Leicester, England, now the property of the Universal Fibre Company, London. The result of these trials have been publisheil in the Jamaica Oaxette, and although not quite so satisf^ory na was expected, stUl point to the fact that a fibre industry in Jcimaica carried on in a systematic nannei' must prove highly remu- nerative, dhould a fibre industry be established in Jamaica, it will be necessary to cultivate the plants 01 a large scale. Many of these plants, such as the silk grass or henequen {furcrma ntlmiuia)y the bowstring hemp (^Santeviera) and the China grass or Bamie {BoBlimeria nivea) are sufficiently abundant to supply plants to i-stablish lai^e areas at once. ijtib, KENNEDY, JAMES, Kingston. — Prepared by the " Eureka " Fibre machine : (a) Que bundle of fibres of pine apple, Ramie, Pita : (b) Furcraa and (Sanseviera zeylaniea) ; (o) Bowstring hemp (Sanseviera zeyUinica'); (d) African bowstring tiemp (Satueviera quin- eentie) ; (e) Ramie (fialimeria nivea) ; (f ) Flan- tain (Jfusa paradinacd); (g) Dagger (Fueca nloi/olia; (h) Finguin {Bromelia pinguin); (i) Flag or rush {Cladium occidentals) ; g) Pine apple (Ananae eativa) ; (k) Keratto (^Agave heratto); (L) Bromelia Karatas. 1700.

It waa on Trinity Sunday (31st July, 1496) that Columbus, then on his third voyage, first sighted the isia id, to which, when taking possession of It in the name of the Sovereigns of Spain, he gave a name at once commemorative of the dato of its discovery and indicative of the Faith of its discoverers. For nearly a century subsequent to that eventful day the history of the island is involved in obscurity. The little that is known is contained in the chTonicles of the Dominican monks who accompanied the Conquistadores, and presents but little of interest to general readers. In 1584, or thereabouts, Don Antonio de Berro y OruAa, the fouuder of Spanish Guyana, made Trinidad his headquarters and built the ciiy of San Jose de Orufio, about six miles from the coast of the Gulf of Paria. Tills town (which remained the capital of the island until a few years before its capture by the British) was burnt by Sir Walter Baleigh in 1595. From that date until 1781 the Oolony can hanUy be said to have made any progress, as the following data will prove. In 1733 there were but 162 male adults in the island, and of these only 28 were whites. This return doea not include either the Indians or the slaves. The Bevenue of the Colony was 231 dollar*— not quite £48 sterling. In 1781 M . Bourne de St Laurent, a French planter of Grenada, when on a visit tQ the island, waa struck with its extraordinary resources, and he conceived a plan for inducing foreign immigrants to settle in the Colony, a thing hitherto prohibited by the law of Spain, and went first to Caracas and subsequently to Madrid to obtain for his scheme the sanction of the Spanish Government. In this he was successful, and in November, 1783, wliat was called a " Gedula" of population was signed by the King of Spain. The carrying out of this important measure was entrusted to Don Jos^ Maria Cliacon, who was destined to be the last of the Spanish Governors of Trinidad. Its immediate result was a great influx of population from the old French Islands, to which a few years later a fresh impetus was given by ttie events in those Colonies which wen ciused by the French Bevolution. The following figures will give some idea of the great changes which were brought about by the Cedula of 1783. In that year the population of the Colony consisted of :— Whites . 12G Free coloured 295 Slaves 810 Indians 2,032 Total 2,763 Fourteen years later, in 1797, the population was thus classified : — Whites 2,151 Free coloured 4,474 Indians 1,078 Slaves 10,000 Total . . 17,712 Previous to 1783 the whole trade of the island had been carried on by one small vessel of about 150 tons burthen, which came two or three times a year from the Dutch Island of SL Eustatiut return ca( Bctw it rose to: was 1,069, It wa that year t into the C under Sir There 700 troops, aa to be ( a few shoti day.

Between 1784 and 1797 the average yearly tonnage was from 7,000 to 8,000 ton«, and ia 1802 it roae to 1S,000 tona. (The total tonnage entered and cleared at the ports of the Colony in 1885 was 1,069,121 tona.) It was early in 1797 that the capture of Trinidad was effected. On the 16th February of that year a fleet of 18 veasels, cunyiag 740 guns, under the command of Admiral Harvey, sailed into the Gulf of Paria. In addition to this fonuidnble force there were on board 6,750 troops under Sir Balph Abercromby. There were in the hjurbour four Spanish vessels, carrying 258 guns, and having on board 700 troops. The crews of these vessels, as well as the troops, were however so reduced by fever as to be of little use to the small garrison which Chacon had at his command, and after a few shots had been exchanged he surrendered, the capitulation being signed on the following day. Sir Balph Abercromby appointed Lieutenant-Colonel (afterwards the famous Sir Thomas) Picton to be the first English Governor of Trinidad, a difficult and dangerous post, which he filled for six years with great advantage to the Colony. Trinidad was finally ceded to Great Britain at the Treaty of Amiens, but not without great opposition on the part of Napoleon, then First Consul, who saw the immense advantage to a Oommercial nation like England which would accrue from the possession of an island which, from its geographical position, could command the trade of the great rivers of South America, and possessing a harbour in which could ride in safety throughout the year the mercantile fleets of the world. A slight notion of what this trade might be may be formed from the fact that during the first five years after the capture of the island artioleii of British manufacture to the value of 1.000,000 dollars were sold annually by the merchants oi Trinidad to the traders from Venezuela alone. This was the recognized trade, but a far large.* one was carried on clandestinely, as is proved by the fact that Colonel Picton reported to the Secretary of State that Spanish launches annually carried away from Trinidad articles of British manufacture to the value of 8,000,000 dollars. Unfortunately for Trinidad the fears of the future Emperor of the French were not realized, and Trmidad was fated to be looked upon by British statesmen merely as a sugar>u«rar, No. 1.

( m ) BARBADOS. Babbados, the moat \rindward of the Garibbee Islands, is situated in lat. 13° i' N, and long. 59° 87' W. It is 21 miles long and 14 in breadth, and contains 166 sqqare miles, somewhat of the shape of the Isle of Wight. It is a little smaller, but, unlike the " Garden of England," \a situated in mid-ocean. First visited by the Portugese at an unknown date, it was named by them "Los Barbados," from the number of bearded fig-trees or banyans \vhich were found growing there. It was reported to be totally uninhabited, which was not the case, though few if any of the aborigines remained when the English took possession in the year 1605. In a Froncli map of the world of the date of 1536 it appears under the name of " Bernados," and in subsequent documents or maps it was called " Barbudos," " Bernados," " Bamodo," " S. Barduda," " S. Barbudos," and " Los Barbudos." James I. made a grant of the Island to the Earl of Marlborough, and the first English govcruor was appointed to this, the oldest British colony, in the year 1625. From that date the island has never been severed from England, and although from time to time there have been internal dissensions, it has never undergone the vicissitudes of its nefg-sbi^* 6 iior suflfered from foreign invasion. Two years later Cliarles I. granted all the Caii'ib'') '.-lands, including Barbados, to the Earl of Carlisle, who compounded for £300 per anuutii '.vith the Earl of Marlborough for his claim. Shortly afterwards, being absent from England, Lord Carlisle's patent was revoked in favour of the Earl of Pembroke,, but again restored to him on his return. A considerable nimiber of settlers had by this time established themselves, making clearings in the forests, which, with the exception of a few savannahs, or as they were locally called, champion grounds, covered the whole Island. They cultivated tobacco, cotton, indigo, and sugar,'*' and owned slaves, but the hardships of early colonial life were increased by a petty civil war entered into by the followers of the governors who had been appointed by the various claimants to the Island. The downfall of Charles I. brought a large influx of Boyalists with their families and possessions to take 'shelter in the Island, which still had a Boyalist governor, and this influx contributed greatly to people and enrich the Island, and gave a tone to the tastes and manners of its inhabitants which is still plainly discernible. It is recorded that in the seventeenth century, before the combined effects were felt of the Navigation Act, the rivalry of Jamaica, and the growth of the French plantations, Barbados was " the moat populous, rich, and industrious spot on the earth." The Commonwealth took over tho Island in 1651, and held it for eleven years, until the Tcstorution of Charles II., when the various patent-holders brought forward their claims, to satisfy which a duty of 4J per cent, on all exports was imposed, the proprietary government dissolved and the sovereignty of Barbados annexed to the British Crown. In spite of protest, the export duty of 4J per cent, was continued until the year 1838, four years after tho abolition of slavery. Prom tho above brief sketch it may readily be understood that Barbados shortly became, not so much a colony as a piece of the Mother Country which had been transplanted. In tlie year l(J2'i» the Island was divided into six parishes, and in 1645 into eleven as now, which were, with tho excepfion of Christ Churcli, each named after a patron saint. Saint George of course being one. The Estates were mostly called after their original proprietors, and have not changed since on the sea coast are met old familiar namoE', such as IIa! current endowment adopted. The bishopric was founded in 1824, and thirty-eight incumbencies, as well as the bishop, are supported by the State. Finally, crimes of violence are rare, and the people are happy and contented, and well eatiafled with themselves, tlieir island, and their form of government. Class 1.

Yanilla baa not yet been grown with any sacceas in Grenada ; the flower and bean have not beea produced ; hen is an opening for interesting experiment Why Grenada baa apmng ao far ahead of its neighbours ia a difSonlt question to enswer. We hardly think the aoil is peculiarly adapted for the prodocts we have named, nor does it appear to poaseaa man Sootchmen than the other ialanda. Perhaps ita inferiority in aogar- producing waa mora marked, and aet one or two master minds thinking sooner. An historical answer to thia query would be intereating. At any rate, it lias now developed an unmistak- able want— that of good internal oommunication. At the same time it has the means, and, therefore, the right to aupply that want Grenada is the worst off of the four islands for roads. Beyond a few miles near the capital, and around GnnvUIe — the little town of aeoond importance — oommunication by land ia reduced to mere bridle-traoka ; in the richest parte of thC' island oommeroe is strangled for want of decent roada ; only now ia an effort being made to t\ raove the reproach. A trunk-road aoroea the ialand from Gouyave to Grenville baa been begun, and if the former ia connected by another road, either with the capital or with Sauteurs, through the valleys inland, the first step will have been taken towards placl::g the finest parts of Grenada in direct oonneotiou with the sea. Of the Grenadine islands under the Government of Grenada, Cam'acoo is the chief. Their commercial im|>ortance is at present nt'{, nor are we aware that any one has suggested a future for them, except as a central leper asylum for the West Indies. Even though startling, the idua deserves consideration ; foroible isolation acema to be the only way of stamping out the loath- ■ome disease of leprosy. ST. vnroENT. St. Vincent ia the moat Engliah of the group called Windward Ialanda. Even in ita present forlorn condition, it haa more of the aentiment of English society about it than its neighbour^ and a man-of-wa . meets with a greater ovation from the youtlis and maidens of this island than it does in mt.4 plaoea. It ia a fine ialand which baa dropped into an almoat unacconnt- able alate of decadence. Ita lofty central peaka are thickly wooded, and attract a conaiderable rainfall The Mariaqua valley is among Uie best examples of rich inland scenery and ground adapted for every kind of tropical culture. Towards the north-east a fine plain sweeps to the sea. It ia one of the two rentaining ialanda, the other being Dominica, where the laat traces of the Oariba, or old conquering aavagea of the Weat Indiea, remain. The ** Garib country " on the north of the ialand still testifies to the sanguinary guerilla warfare which the dusky warrion maintained against the aettlera. There are but 192 Gariba, or half-Gaiibs, left in St Vincent; and they are not so distinctive in occupation and character as the 810 of Dominica. St Vincent waa not finally confirmed to England till 1795. In the early part of the 18th century, the French and Engliah agreed to treat it aa neutel, both dialiking, mora or less, the task of dealing with the Cariba. After the Engliah had made a determined effort to settle it, they were still twioe ousted for a time by the Frauoh. Its present state of penury is usually ascribed to the monopoly of landed property held by one firm, and the facilitiea of aquatting afforded to the negroes bv the large quantity of undefined Grown landa. The firat of theae eauaes must not be pushed too far ; juat the aame argn. ment haa been uaed in reapeot of Tobago. In a great number of oaaea the firma which now appear aa monopoliata would willingly have declined the poaition ; but onoe having begun by making advanoea to failing proprietora, eatates have ctmie on them too faat, and bad timea have- " Forced them, though tt were in spite Of leesDO and thelriUn," to take up another and another eatate, till it waa quite impossiblo to work them properly. The occasion to cry out against these people will be tbe dny when they roftaso to alienate to vigonnii capitalists. Thft treatment of Crown lands is the chief question before the St Vincent Government at I the present time. A vigorous and fairly oomplote survey is required at once, to be followed by The Windward tilltmdi. 441 uoceed as with any Mning for to answer, nor does it in aogar- t historical nnmistak- neana, and, Is for roads, importance f the ialKud s to n :aOTe l)een begun, irs, through est parts of liief. Theil ited a future ing, the idea at the loath- ft ayitoinatio oheok on nnftathoriied oooupation, while aeooring under propelr payment those who are holding and cnltiTating patches of ground belonging to the Grown. At the same time care is required to secure the forests from wantoh destruction. Much use may be made of the report of the forest oiBeer, who is at present going through the Wnst Indies. One efTect of a proper policy as regards Grown lands is expected to be the repletion of the labour market Some limited good may be done; we incline to think the prospect is over- rated. More probably it will encourage a more or less thrifty dass of smaV proprietors, who will gradually become as successful as those of Grenada. We are not aware why St Vincent should be less adapted for cocoa and spices than its neighbour. Some attempts are being made in that direction ; the negroes have been induced to plant and cultivate small estates for small capitalists, on the condition of receiving a portion of the trees as their property as soon as the plantation begins to bear. We are assured that they have shown neither interest nor perseverance, and the experiment has so for failed. Tact And patience are, indeed, required in dealing with the negro. Arrowroot is the product in which St. Vincent has a special name, and it is worth while to make every effort to retain its pre-eminence. Surely, also, a great deal more might bo done here and elsewhere in the raising of the cassava, or farine manioe. Cassava cakes are an excellent break- fast dish ; they and gnava jelly should find their way to every English breakfast-table. Sugar, the staple product, with its accompaniments of rum and molasses, can be mode a satisfactory export by better manufiftcture and more open and spirited trading. Seeing how well it grows in most parts of the island, the effort is worth making. South of St. Vincent towards Qrenada, lies the group of little islands called the Grenadines, the northern portion of which belongs to the Government of St Vincent Stock-raising and sport are their chief attractions ; civilisation can barely be said to have reached them. In its present I neighbours, )f this island it unacconnt- considerable and ground to theses, last traces of |ntry"onthe iky warriors St Vincent; ; of the 18th ) or less, the ; to settle it, brty held by I quantity of I same argu- which nov bg begun by imeshave^ Iperly. The' I to vigoroni i remment st followed by TOBAGO. Poor little Tobago— «ver struggling vrith financial difficulty I Now in truly the last state of depression, where the finest estates have just come into the London market without a singld offer, and the negroes are selling their horses to Trinidad for little mote than the amount of the tax. Bobinson Grusoe^s island it is sometimes supposed to be ; but a study of the chart with Defoe's bearings shows that the position of that hero's kingdom is purely imaginary. Defoo may, however, have received a detailed description of this particular island from some seafaring friend, and have modelled on it his immortal conception. In no way approaching the grandeur of its neighbours, Tobago is nevertheless an attractive and well-dowered land, in many respects more intensely tropical than the islands to the north, its sweeps of sand lined with oocoanut palms, and washed by the surf of the restless Caribbean, surpassing anything of the kind we have seen elsewhere. Geologically it is allied to Trinidad and the Spanish main, and separated ficom the more or less active volcanic fbrmation to the north. Probably it once formed the most north-easterly point of the South American continent at the end of the arm which enclosed the Gulf of Parift. The fiora and fauna, in particular the birds, point to the same connection. It would thus be natural to include it in the Government of Trinidad ; and the expediency of so doing has been mooted and considered. The objection comes chiefly from the side of the richer Oolony; Tobago would also be slow to take upon herself iho heavier burden of taxation which the Trinidad rate would impose. The important question is whether union with Trinidad would increase its prosperity. Some day it might ; but the whole northern coast of Trinidad is wild and undeveloped ; its civilisation should precede the elevation of Tobago through Trinidad. Depandent chiefly on one mail a month for its connection with the outer world, without tel^gmphio oommunication, its finest estates forced into the hand of a single firm, and exporting only along an old trodden path, the rest of the island in the hands of negroes who, content to live bappUy on their small plots, have no inducement to exertion, and dislike taxation, Tobago is the example of a minnte Colony. The nbsenoe of any considerable hill produces a tendency to drought especially at the south-westcra end of the island. Yot towards the other end of the southern side there are plains to seaward peculiarly rich, and adapted for the sugar cane ; and m m 442 2^ Windward Liandt. behind these, and on the north side, large tracts of bush rather than woodland, and splendid brakes of bamboos, cover ground eminently suited for cocoa and spioes, as well as coffee, which a few more determined managers are earnestly attempting to grow. Hitherto Tubago has remained stationary; besides sugar she has exported coooannts; but these rene of seveie English in uarters of a the negroes nbly, being Yet at the p than the the Croyra udo-populftt retrograde, ote oast hi rial fleet ui id in many oney which la Canal is through it it has the generally lefit two or Imaohineryi ^he origin*^ I years, but I its sucoev- \he valley" and more lei been » cnltivation. Had if not been for the low price of sugar in 1884-5, there would probably have been at least three sugar factories working fhll time in the Colony ; and, in any case, no colony will in future do better in sugar than St. Lucia. Looking forward, we should place St. Lucia first as regards sugar, Dominica and Grenada in other products. In the growth of cacao and spices some progress has been made of late ; and for the further ' development of this enterprise there is a tendency to luck to peasant proprietors. There is no reason why such proprietors should not be as successful as they are in Grenada; but still greater suooess woald attend the owner of capital. Capital must be sunk for six or seven years without return, and this is the drawback which makes most men hesitate. After that time, under present conditions, a rich harvest is reaped. The negro proprietor, on the other hand, eats his yam and awaits the maturity of the cocao with comparative indifference. But there is evidently a notion in the Colony that the peasant requires more than this ; that the Government shodld guarantee advances of capital for the cultivation of cocoa, nutmegs, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla. Such a system of advances works well in parts of India in the cultivation of opium ; it is a plan which should not be hastily condemned, but it should be adopted with the utmost caution. Tho first draft of a scheme from St. Lucia not only involved the Government in tho maximum of risk, but, without very clearly helping the peAsaui. piuprietora, very distinctly suggebted the bolstering up of muscovado sugar. Now, whatever the future of sugar may be in the West Indies — and we believe it to be a fair one — it is certain that a gradual abandonment of existing works, and the superannuated nuscovado sugar is a necessity. St Luda lias been the only one of the small colonies which has n^ alarly and effectively Qsed coolie labour since its first introduction into the West. Lately there has not been work enough, or wages enough, for coolie and negro, and tho latter race has been migrating to tho Panama Canal. The harbour works should stop this exodus, which is a serious matter, although the population, which is about 169 to the square mile, is not so sparse aither here or in the other West Indies as is sometimes thought.

They are not all English. The Danes, Dutch and French have each a footing in the ipekgo. In geographical order the English islands are— the majority of the Virgin ds, Angnilla. St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Montaerrat, and (beyond the great French id of CKiadelonpe) Dominica. All of them have more or less of the volc&nio abont them. Natumlly they are of the tune ip in ^eiry respect. By the difference of industrial development tliey are strongly contrasted. Christopher and Dominica are the two poles — the former after Barbados, the most strikingly tivated island in the West Indies— the latter the least exploited of all. Their small place on the roll of Britibh dominions is in strong contrast to the day when they the most coveted islands in the world, when Montserrat, St. Ohristopher, or Mevis, were ~ over and ceded in the treaties of Paris and Utrecht. Politically khey are a federation, that is to say (for the terms federate and confederate are often confused) an aggregation of indeptmdent Governments and Legislatnree which for pnrposes have delegated their powers to one central and partially supreme Government, the last century there was a general Gover&ment and Legislature of the LeewWrd Islands ; but the gre&ter part of the present centnry the islands were independent of each tothor, except in fitr as they wet« nominally gtouped tt^ther for certain exettutive purposes under one Governor Chief. Ita 1871 the federation was restored; eadi of the larger islands having a President at I Dim BUbattvient to tiie GoTerhor in Chief. |^i^l■l•>/.'^ •.nil <•! iKitipo/') yiu ^.i.:!'

As the island bos been so long used to vigorous political and ommeroial life, there is naturally a more extensive English society than in any island after larbados and Jamaica. The visitor cannot help feeling an under-current of strength and enter- irise, which, however suppressed, is capable of springing into active results. Agriculturally the island is more disappointing thnn some of its nt ighbours. But allowance aiut always be made for the circumstances under which an island is seen. Wo have ourselves een the same West Indian island at dilTercnt moments appear the extreme of fertility or ppressively pardied. Physically it is by no means unpicturesque ; but the mountains are far ower and the woodland much scantier than in most of the islands. It is too much cleared. Ko Bland struck us as so likely to be benefited by judicious forest conservation. Much of tho Doat fatoiirable agricultural land has, onjthe other hand, been suffered to run into bush— • lecotoe " ruinate," as the phraso is, and the low price of sugar does not tend to check this. . The productions of Antigua at present may be classed as sugar and pine>appL'8. The mittOT mits and ground crops supply tho local population, but are not tho subject of any svfBciont idnstry. The sugar exported is not of a high type, yet there are two attempts in which Antigua iMbcen a pioneer. We believe tho Antigua planters were the flr^t to use the steam-plough ^ ind it was in Antigua that Mr. Fryer first tried the coneretor process of sugar manufacture. It lay still be possible for this island to be a successfiil follower of St. Luoia in the ostAblishment oeutral factories; the sharp ravines, the difficulty of intorcommunicntlon between estatea lich exist in some of the islands, do not occur here. The process must be gradual, for large iQantitiet of capital are sunk in existing sugar works. There is not the same adaptability hero in other esses' for tho cultivation of minor products. Arrowroot might do well in some l^r. ■ai: ■ 'ii! :H »;;•;■ •: ;.■■■ '■> 4o partly due to the rooklor natnre of formation : on some parts of the surface the rock crops up in all directions. The enterpriae one of the most enlightened men in West India circles has aimed at making Novis a gaidenl hitherto he has been without the success he deserves. His chief aim has been to introduce othe products besides the sugar cane, chiefly lime trees for tlie manufacture of lime juice. The fhii of these efforts lies as yet in the future. The history of St. Christopher is peculiar, having been at one time divided between tk English and French ; naturally they found that two nationa could not get on in this small m and the weaker went over the sea. Nevis has a still greater claim to the Interest of Eaglond the place wliere Horatio Nelson married Mrs. Nisbet and passed perhaps the happiest yean i his afterwards glorious life. Looking to tho future, there is no startling new departure to be prescribed for these ialind Let St. Kitts be faithful to the sugar for which she is so well adapted : and sugar will piobtli| be still the chief product of Nevis. There has been some talk of growing olives in St KitI It is a pity some one cannot find the proper method of ripening olives in the West Indlea; for flourishing market in the South and Central American Sepnblica ia at their very doora. Liw are expected to flourish in Nevis, and fruit might be extended with great results. Nevis tu gerines are the finest we ever tasted ; we have never met anything like them elsewhere.

Sioafserrat has been the seeno of one of the plueMcst and meet Interesting oxperiaeats i ia the West Indies, to whieh we shall presently refer. It is one of the smaller islande of th« gronpt and in larftiae eonilgiiratiesk an>v Dominica rather than the othor islands. Lofty and Irregolar moant*lns oovend with foliage o| intense deepness form a sharp and striking oontmst to Uie yellower grom of tlie sloping she The few roads are rough and rocky, parts of the inland aro connected by aocra bridle paths. Tii northern portion is wild and thiohly wooded, and quite nnoponod. The little town of Plymootli is its capital. Its political and oommeroial statns is discovered by the remark that tot i yean past one gentleman has beoD acting at President, Trcatorer. Begistrar of Ooorts, Gutlon Offloer, fte^ Ac, and the work goee on smoothly enongh. No pleatanter tnmmer drink hat been Invented than lime jaiee, the pradnos of % tmit like a small lemon well known to those who know the troples. No lime juloe Is better thau th Montterrftt brand. The Messrs. Btnrge of Birmingham have all the honours of being thJ pioneers of this onlturo and manufacture. Foreseeing tliat sugar conld not permanently reoore its exuberant prosperity, they planted extensive groves of limes and repltcod a sugar mill by manufactory for lime juice and the essential oils of limes and lemons. One eonkl wish tluij wider and rinher success had attended their efforts. The defect is that the article they supplie has had and still has but a limited demand; and they have now, moreover, several imitatort in nil the islands, and more arising yearly. This active competition will still keep down proflti not only in this, but all secondary industriea of the tropict. *a fttot, in encouraging the growthl of any and every tropical product, one general word of caution hi neoessary ; the enorn profits of a monopoly cannot be restored to the West Indies. Thereftnro let eare be taken thatl further loss of capital is not made by an exocssivo competition to supply a limited thougU gradually growing demand for cocoa, spices, limes, and so forth. The resources of Montaerrat are not by any means fUlly explored as yet. By an extension o(| the Montserrat Co.'s work and the growth of the negro proprietary class, iiitare prosperity villi better be assured than by the introdootlon of too many competing efforts. THB VTRQItf IBLAUDB. This beautiful but desolate littla group of islnnds, islets, «nd rooks is far too poor and in lar| ioo primitive a state of tooiety to seBd.»n7 objects to » British exhibition, but it demands a bii notice. These islands wero never amongst tho richest of tho West Indies, but they once enjoyed a| fair meed of prosperity, both in the days of higli-prioed sugar, and ogain for a time when tbol blockade of American ports in tho civil war made it profitable to grow cotton on them. Nov I ithey are bereft of the semblance of commercial prosperity. They have been denuded of tnnA except where, on the northevn ehore of Virgin Gordo, a seoondary scrubby growth has replaced I priutaival luxuriance.

This " shell," resting on the ends, is filled with wet sand and allowed to spread to a sufficient width, when the stretchers and timbers are inserted, the side-board, or strake, is then put on, and the hull is complete. These boats are safe and comfortable (the larger ones seating six or eight passengers), and manned by four lusty negroes, attain a con- siderable speed ; tliey are steered with a short paddle after the Indian fashion. The surviving pure and half-breed Caribs are the principal makers of canoe shells and oars, and perform a hazardous sea voyage along the windward coast of the island in taking their wares to market.

In being the one British settlement in Central America British Honduras has its diatinotlve geographical feature. It lies on the edge of that gradually attenuated neck of land, of which ■0 much isuntrovelled and' mysterious, which at last heoomos the Isthmus of Panama, and joini the two Americas. Low and flat towards the Bay of Honduras, it rises gradually inland towards the last spurs of the Cordilleras ; the Coohsoomh Mountains on its western boundary aro of the same mould aa those which Mr. Whymper climbed further to the north. Its charac- teristics are vast forests of valuable timber, deep tropical rivers, sweeping savannahs of swamp and rank grass. It Is filled with traces of Indian, Mexican, or Spanish civilisation in ages now remote ; their forts and cities are covered with luxuriant tropical growth, or gradually sinking lielow a now surface of yearly accumulated soil. One day not many years hence those may open an unexplored field to the arohaiologist. Yet the whole Colony is not believed to contain more titan 7,852 square miles ; in other words is not much larger than Wales. Its political hisicry is unique even in the history of British colonial enterprise ; its events reproduno in petto that of our settlement in India. One of our older settlements, it is one of our youngest colonies. The logwood on its river banks attracted the attention of some British rovers, and they settled at the river mouths along all this coast for the purpose of cutting first the dye-woods, afterwards mahogany. In despite of the Spaniards, by sufferance of the Spaniards, at last by oonqiicst of the Spaniards, these hardy Scotch and English men retained their footing on the Belize river, when Ihey had been driven from the rest of Campoachy. The British Qovemment but poorly recognised their pluck at first; about the beginning of this century they deigned to countennnee them by appointing a Superintendent, A constitution followed, and gradually developed with the requirements of political life. In 1862 British Honduras was made a Colony with a Lieutenant-Governor, under the Oovoi-nor-in-Chief at Jamaica. In 1879 its existence as a separate Colony was consummated, and its Qovemor oorrespcndod direct with the Secretary of State. The chief town of the colony is Belize, a port facing right oiit on the Bay of Honduras, guarded by reefs which make navigation difiicult. The site is flat, but not unpicturesque, the wooden houses pleasantly relieved by the waving pulm-trces ; not unlike the general aspect of Qeorgetown, Demerara, which is also on very low ground. Orange Walk and Corosal — the places of next importance— can scarcely bo called towns. There is not a road in the country worthy of the name except the usual evening drive of the residents of Belize ; its highways aro tho rivers and tiie sea, the former navigated by " pitpans " — a dug-out canoo — the latter by coasting schooners. Very limited, therefore, is the portion opened to trade. Proportionately attraotivo will the Colony be to future enterprise. Mahogany cutting is the chief industry ; and on this the reputation of British Honduras is founded. Tho logwood trade runs it close. Both depend on the rivers down which the cut timber is floated ; and nothing is cut except within easy draught of a river bank. Next to UtMO, attention is given to the growth of fruit for tLo American market; plantations of baaauaa and ooooanuts are increasing in number and size yearly. There are six or seven sugar attates at work, sending out sugar in tho form which is known as concrete — that is, in a oom- paotly welded brown mass, very dark, and full of molasses, which has tho advantage of saving tb* owner flrom loss by leakage in transit, but is useless without careful refining. In tho autumn of 1882 Mr. Morris of Jamaica, whose vigorous prosecution of his botanical dntiet has earned him tho appointment of Assistant-Director at Eew Gardens, visited and pioapeoted British Honduras, and embodied in a small volume his conclusions as regards the indostrial future of the Colony. Existing industry can be extended and improved by opening up tite country ; vast tracts of mahogany still remain untouched, and the best wood, to the north of tlw Belize river, is that which 'has least been meddled with. The cultivation of bananas is crude ; but clearings of the forest will provide some of the richest soil in the world. '■-\m ''■■ If ■ 11 "H ^ifBi ImJ 476 Britifih Honduran, The same may be said of lugar. A central factory ImH not, boon tuggCBtiul, nor is the country yet ripe fur it ; but tlioro ig a virgin soil to lut against tlio exhausted ground of most of tlie West India Islands; and there is no reason why a large share of pioflts f^om sugar should not soon fall to the British Honduras planter. Mr. Morris found the cacao or oooon-tree, and the vanilla bean, growing wild in tlie forests ; coffee shrubs bear enormous crops just across the fW>ntier; the oil of the oobuno nut is one of the most valuable of vegetable oils, and the oohune palm is one of the distinctive features of the landscape. Fibre plants are numerous, and for fibre there is an entirely unsatisfied demand. The possible dovclopment of thcao resources is for present purposes unlimited. The direct commercial connection of the Oolony is with New Orleans, a straight run of some 600 miles N.E. by N. across the Gulf of Mexico, after rounding Capo Gatoche. Thither goes all the fruit, and with it the mails and passengors. Timber is shipiKid to Europe by sailing craft. A coDsiderablo increase must take place in the speed of ocean-going steamers before wo can expect to see the fruit of British Honduras, but ton days old, in Covout Garden market. Tliere is likewise a very considerable trade with the neighbouring republics of Guatemala and Honduras, and with Mexico. With the flrst-nnraod state it is conducted chiefly by way of the Belize river and across the frontier to Fcten ; with the others it is carried on along the coast. In order to settle the trade routes finally, two things are wanted— to set at rest the boundary diflSoulty with Mexico and Guatemala, and to open up the country either by rail or rood. If, at they profess, the two Governments mentioned are really anxious to mark out their boundaries, the treaty boundary of our Colony should, before many mouths are ,ove», bo finally settled and marked out. Surveyors are cutting the line at this moment. Several projects for a railway have been mooted of late years. An effort has quite recently boon made in the city to sound financial houses about a line between the two rivers and Into Guatemalan territory, tapping some of the richest land in Central America. We rather fear that such schemes are not heartily supported by the present traders and property-holders in the Colony. This is a fault of young and flourishing settlements. People are doing very well on the old lines, and they are not too anxious to let in young blood and enterprise to share, and porhaps dnok, their profits. Land and labour are the desiderata of the capitalist who is looking out for new fields to conquer. Here there is abundant land, the property of the Crown, to be sold In lots at one dollar per acre. After a while It will be for the Crown to consider whether it would not be wiser to lease it. That most of this soil is good, some of It exceedingly rich, we havo already mentioned. The labour question is one that is nt present agitating the Colony; a recently printed report on the subject shows the position of the question, and tho feelings of the employers. At present labour is scarce, Its price high. It can hardly be otherwise whore the wants of the labourer have not been multiplied by an elaborate civilisation, ond comfort Is attained with the smalle&t possible exertion. But from the capitalist's point of view tho difficulty is serious. High-priced labour means a high cost of production, and being undersold by other countries, One experiment is worth trying — the immigration of our surplus population from the British Isles. The climate of British Honduras is cooler than that of tho neighbouring countries, and Americans have succeeded there as field-workers. The climate which suits our kinsmen of the States should not be devoid of attraction to tho strugglers of those islands. INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO FORESTRY EXHIBITS. To its timber and dyowoods tlio Colony of British Hondnras owes its existence and whatever measure of progress and advancement it may havo nttainttd. To tho discovery, first of logwood and subsequently of mahogany, its original settlement must be ascribed. It scorns appropriate, therefore, to place tlie specimens of woods at the head of the present collection of its natural products and industrial objects, and to begin with tho exhibit of indigenous woods contributed by the Belize Estate and Produce Co., comprising nearly 100 spcclinons. A few remarks on the principal varieties of timber roprosentoil in tliis collection may bo found useful, but it mnst be premised tliat many of tho woods In It are as yet unknown to com- merce, and unclassified scientifically ; and in such cases wo have to bo contented with the names locally current, the trees apparently having boon christened by tho whimsical imnginations of the woodcutters.

Pttlittt and PtUmelioi {Chanuerop$). — " Nothing so much impresses the traveller,*' iftyg Mr. Morris, spoakiog of tho plant-life of British Honduras, '* as tho abundance and profusion of palms which uro ovorywhero seen." In point of viiluo and utility drst comes the cocoaimt, useful (Vom its roots upwanls. Tho cahoon is probably next to it in value, and then tho date ; the oabboge, with its tall smooth oolumuiil stem surmounted by a long green folded bud containing an edible su1)st(\uco, emboUishcd with a shigularly pretty "shoot" and topped by its waving pinnate fh)uds, is " a thing nf beauty, and Oreodoxa well deserves it royal appellation. Oreodom oleniviM is found on thu bunks of tho rivers in the interior, and is used by the Caribs to construct their huts, and by Logwood-cutters for their "bnrk lugo," or cradle-rafts, which convey the logwood down tho river to the port of shipment. Tho genus Thrima is plentifully present, and in various siMscies and of nearly all kinds ; it is used for staking, fencing, and in bush housus, as ponds for thutuhing, &c. Mr. Morris says C/utuMvdurwu and Gmmmat aru numerous, and if it be only established that C. tenelh, is present, whidt ho thinks doubtful, the Colony possesses " the most majestic of pinnate-leaved palms and also the siualhtst of known spooics."

But there is a superior rubber- piotluoing tree (probably cattiUoa dmitica uf other classifiers). A specimen of this rubber will show this to be tho case. In tropical fruit trues tho Colony is rich. Some of these producing good timber are shown amongst tho speoiracns of timber trees. Two oxiunplus of the Natural Curiosity— the " Scotchman hugging the Creole," are added. The phenomenon, if it may be so described, is tho result of a by no means mutual embrace ; the embracer, or Scotoliman, being a iwrasitical plant, locally called the " Wild Fig," on account of a small fruit it bears wliich has u resemblance to the fig ; and the embraced, the reluctant Oreole, a troo of tho palm order. Eventually the life sup is squeezed out of the Creolo by thu too ardent hug of thu sinewy reprcsontativo of Culedoniu, who, however, continues to flourish and beoumes a vigorous iiistance of tropical vegetation.

It grows along the seashore and river banks, rooting in the mud, the seeds germinating even while attached to the branches. The cays or islands in the Bay of Honduras are densely covered with it. The wood is used to bum, and the bark as an astringent. Morris names a white variety {Laguneularia raeemosa). All varieties are used in hous>. 'Ming and occasionally in cabi- net work. The ..L.'.e is also used for ship- building, in which it has a great local repute, furnishing "knees" that require little moulding into the necessary shape. Average growth 80 to 50 ft.; the black is the lowest in stature. Red mangrove, 60 to 80 ft.; white, 80 ft; black, 50 ft Diameter of all 20 in. 62. Mayflower.

The true rubber tree, or a very fair variety of it, is found in tho colony ; but there are several varieties of rubber trees in different countries. 88. Iguana Blossom. A tree so named iVom its being frequented by a genus of lizard — Iguana tiiberculata, of Laurenti — which being herbivorous feeds on the blossoms. The. original Carib name is "Guana," and these Indians, or their mixed descendants in Ilonduras, eat the ophidion which is common to tropical America, hence the tree is often corruptly similarly named. It is looked upon by some as a mere variety of Madre Cacao. 89. Negrito. A straight grower with a resemblance to a pine, 80 ft. in height 20 in. diameter.

Caahaw {I'rosopis juliflord). A fodder tree coiumon in the West Indies and neighbouring Rouutriea, but dangerous at times as such. If an animal is fed on the foliage at the time tlie buds are germinatinjE, the germination is continued in the animal's intestines, and if not relieved of its last meal the poor beast dies. Breeders of stock there- fore eliminate it from their pastures. The Cashew* (AtMcardiiim occidentale) is a favonrite plant on account of its edible seeds, which grow peculiarly, namely, at the end of the beauti- fully coloured swollen stalk. The tree belongs to the sumac {Tihus) family, and the fleshy stalk, besides being eaten, makes a pleasing preserve, and also a pleasant drink. (Morris : Prosmns, yields also a gum resembling Gum Arabic, and tlie wood of it is ham and durable.) 92. Satinwood. A hard lemon-coloured local variety of a well- known furniture wood, which emits a slight fragrance, takes a luetrous polish, and is a great &vourite with cabinet makers and furniture connoisenrs. The origin of the name is ohvions, and the local species grows to a height of 30 ft?. wifli a diameter of 2 ft. That it is inferior to its Indian congener few who view it worked up in articles of furniture will consider. It is plentiful in British Honduras. Wood called "Good Luck" in this list and locally much resembles it. Morris does not mention it, at least it is not in bis Index. 93. Beewood. 94a, 94&.

Manioc, or Cassava (Manihot utiUssitna •it tile Eujihorbia fuiuily). The juices of this root contain prussio acid. In uo process of manufacture the poisonous matter is eliminated and starch is sold in the markets, and cassava and cassava flour produced. From tho former is obtained tho tapioca of oommoroe; the dif- ference between the tapioca and the starch con- sisting in the fact that the former is prepared by being dried ()uickly on hot iron plates, and the latter slowly in the sun. Tho native Caribs make cakes of tho cassava mual as they nruduco it, called "ban-ban" or cassava bread. The root is scraped and grated on wooden graters [See No. 825 in Catalogue], titon the fluid parts squeezed through the "wowlah" (No. S2tt), a long basket-work tube rosembliug a largo serpent, hence its name. The flour for the cake is what remains in the wowlah dried by artificial heat, that which is squeezed out of the tube makes the starch, and is passed through Sieves (No. 324), and which is the eomo as the tapioca of commerce.

Bv AuQUSTDs J. Adderley, O.M.G. Tm Bahamu ooniiat of an aggregation of 29 islanda, 061 bays, and 2,887 rooki, wkioh ttretoh from the northern coast of St. Domingo to tlie eostorn coast of Florida, a diatanco of over 600 milea. They greatly vary in size, and for the most part lio to tbo windward edge of the great land banks formed by the rivers of America as they pour into the Gulf of Mexico. Four only of the islands are located to tlio leeward, Grand Bahama, Andros, Abaoo and the Biminis. The formation of all these islands ia uniform, calcareous rook of coral and shell hardened into limestone, honeycombed and perforated with innumerable cavities, without a trace of primitive or yoloanio rock. The shores are generally low, and few hilla riae above 290 feet. The aoil, though thin, is astonishingly fertile, and vegetation grows luxuriantly: all tropical and subtropical plants flourisli, often attaining, witli little or no care, phenomenal proportions The principal island is Now Providence, which contains the capital, Nassau, and is about twenty- one miles long by seven in breadth. 1 ho other principal islands are: Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, Andros, Abaco, Long Island, Han Salvador, Kum Gay, luuqua, Exiuna, Ragged Island, Crooked Island, Berry Islands and Harbour Island. The population, according to the latest statistical report, 1881, is 44,000, of whom 14,000 are whites and the remainder are descendants of liberated Africans. The capital, Nassau (population 12,000), a well-built and remarkably clean city, is situated at the head of a fine harbour. It contains a handsome Government House, the Episcopalian Cathedral, and all the uaual public buildings indispensable to the seat of Govemmont. There are several other Episcopal and dissenting places of worship, but the Boman Catholics are not sufSciently numerous to have a chapel of their own. Each private house stands by itself, aurrounded by deep verandahs and in the midst of gardens full of tropical plants of every description. Passion flowers^ the " moon flower," the wild oonvolvnlus, an infinite variety of acacias, grow luxuriantly in gardens laden with the scent of the orange and oleander blossoms, whilst the tall oocoanut trees wave their fronds high up in the air above a mass of foliage studded with brilliant flowers. The whole place, at certain seasons, appears to be one vast garden, and this charming aspect, together with tho balminesa of the air and the vivid tints of tho sea, render it most attractive to strangers, and quite justifies the enthusiastic eulogiums of all travellers who have visited its shores since Columbus, who, on first discovering the Bahamas, wrote to Ferdinand and Isabella a most glowing descrip- tion of what he was pleased to call an " earthly Paradise." Every commodity and luxury of life can be procured in its principal shops. The great increase in the commerce of the place within the past ten years is noticeable everywhere, The harbours can shelter many hundreds of vessels. From November to April there is a constant stream of visitors from the United States. Some come for rest, and others for the benefit of their health, much after the fashion of Europeans who fly the mists and fogs of London and Paris for the genial shores of the Biviera, The Boyal Victoria Hotel is well conducted on tho American plan, and can accommodate over a hundred persons. There are, besides, several other excellent boarding-houses. Carriages can be hired at any moment, and the roads all over the island are in good condition. There are several other towns and villages in the various islands, of which Adelaide, Grant's Town and Sandlands are the largest in New Providence. History.— The Bahamas were the first landfall of Columbus ; and, when sighted by that illustrious discoverer on the morning of October 12th, 1492, he landed upon an island then called Guanahani, which he at once rechristened San Salvador. It is supposed to be the present Gat's Island. He found the natives a gentle and hoBpita!)Ie people of the Caribee tribe, and, after spending several pleasant days in their country, sailed for the other and larger islands of San Domingo, Cuba and Jamaica, and never returned again. Some years later, on the m i^ 1 494 The Bahamas. discoyery of Hispaniola, the Spaniarda being in want of hands to work in the mines there decoyed, under false pretences, the natives of the Bahamas thither, to the number of 40,000. The ill-treatment they received was such that, in ten years, not one remained alive. They all perished, either from the effects of the cruelties to which they were subjected, or those of home- sickness. The account of their vain longing to return to their homes is most pathetically narrated by the contemporary historian Peter Martyr. In 1512 the Bahamas received a visit from Ponce de Leon, who came there on a rather singular errand, that of seaiohing for the fountain of eternal youth, which of course he did not find. After this useless visitation, tho islands remained almost uninhabited for nearly a century, although they still continued to be Spanish property, having been bestowed upon Ferdinand and Isabella by Pope Alexander YL, with the whole of the New World. Notwith- standing this donation, Protestant England began to fit out expediticab which interfered sadly with Spanish rights and profits ; Sir Walter Baleigh, Sir Francis Drake^, and Sir John Hawkins all made expeditions to the proliibited territory. In 1578 Sir Humphrey Gilbert was presented by Queen Elizabeth with the lands and countries ho might discover that were not already taken possession of by some Christian power. Spain at this time was not considered by the Tirgin Queen to be either a Christian or a friendly power, and so Sir Humphrey {^propriated the Bahamas ; but whether he ever enjoyed the produce of his extensive properties there or not, tradition even does not say; and, although he may be considered historic^y to be the first Grovemor of the Bahamas, it is doubtful whether he ever derived much benefit from Elizabeth's splendid gift. A succession of disputes between Spanish and English rovers as to who really owned the islands, of a more or less sanguinary and profitless nature, fill up the pages of Bahamas history for nearly fifty years after the episode of Sir Humphrey QUbert. In 1629 some English adventurers made a settlement in New Providence, which was deutroyed by the Spaniards in 1641 ; and a second unsuccessful attempt was again made to inhabit the islands in 1666. Captain Sayle, afterwards Governor of Carolina, was forced in 1667 by stress of weather to seek shelter among the Bahamas. Being then ignorant that they had been visited by Columbus, he was about to give them bis own name, but being obliged a second time to seek refuge from a storm in the harbour of Nassau, he recognised a special dispensation, and colled the island Providence. On his arrival in America, he added the word "New," to distinguish it from "Old" Providence on the Mosquito shore. In 1680 Charles IL granted the islands to George Dnke of Albemarle, William Lord Craven, Sir Gtoorge Carteret, Jc^n Lord Berkeley, Anthony Lord Ashby and Sir Peter Colleton. The date of the grant is 1680 but the settlement had already been regularly formed some two years previously. The first Govemer was a Mr. Chillingworth, who arrived in 1671, but was not allowed to land by the inhabitants, who shipped him off to Jamaica. The next Governor, Mr. Clarke, was murdered by the Spaniards. At the time of the English Bevolution several families removed from England to the Bahamas, and Mr. Cadwallader Jones was appointed Governor in 1690. Under the rule of Governor Elias Lightgood, 1703, the French and Spanish combined to surprise the town of Nassau so completely that they not only blew up the fortress, spiked the guns and burnt the church, but carried off the Governor and the principal inhabitante to Havannah. Not satisfied with this, they returned in the following year and carried off every- thing and everybody else they could lay hands on. A few hid in the woods, and the rest managed to make their escape to Virginia and Carolina, but the Spaniards had succeeded a second time in making the bahamas desolate. News evidently travelled slowly in those days, since the lords proprietors sent out another Governor, Mr. Bird, who, on arriving, was extremely astonished to find he had no subjects to govern. He, however, landed and encamped in the woods ; but, after a time, growing weary of the solitude, he returned to England, and for many years the Island of New Providence became oiily the resort of buccaneers, wreckers and pirates. Of these latter many extraordinary and romantic stories are told, which have brou made capital of by several novelists, notably so by Captain Maryatt. In 1718 the more respectable inhabitants petitioned the English Qovem- ment for a new Governor, and accordingly Mr. Bichard Fitzwilliam was sent out ; but he was not fortunate, and was almost immediately afterwards recalled. During the American War of Independence, colonists arrived in great numbers, and amongst them were several families of fortune ard education. Commerce was soon revived, and a reign of respectability inaagoiattd, The Bahamas. 495 mineB thete 40,000. The .

The abolition of alavery for a time did much to alter the proiperity of the islands, which immediately before that event was considerable; but, after a langthy atrugglo to ovei-conie many difiScuUius which that necessary but only too sudden event created, the islands havo in great part recovered their previous position. With the ezoeption of a few very viulont hurricanes which have occasionally done great damage, ami the stirring incidents wltioh marked the period of the late civil war In the United States, no event of great importance or productive of mucli excitement has transpired to mar the peaceful routine of life in these interesting and very beautiful health-giving islands. The Qovemment is bnsed on the British Constitution. There is a Governor, who repre- sents Her most gracious Majesty the Queen, an Executive Council of nine members, a Legislative Council of nine members, nominees of the Grown, and a House of Assembly of twenty-nine members, of various shades of colour and politics. There are two principal newspapers published at Nassau, the Naumu Guardian and the Herald, besides other literary and religious periodicals. Public sch(M)ls aboimd, and are, as a rule, well attended and conducted. In 1861 the census gave 8,506 as able to read and write, out of a total prpulation of 35,287, less than a quarter. It would be tho reverse now ; there is scarcely a c ild over seven years of age who cannot read or write. A public reading-room and library has existed for many years, and contains many curious works. Qeneral literary and scientific societies have been formed, and leotiues are both frequent and excellent, especiixUy so in tho " season," when strangers of distinction oftea favour the public with their views on tho questions of tho day. The extraordinary love of tho ooloiued population for music deserves encouragement and cultivation. The fishing-boats, numbering 100, and employing 500 men, aro usually of the sloop rig, with a leg-of-mutton sail, and a well for keeping the fish alive. Tho sponging and wrecking vessels,. numbering 500, employing 5,000 men, are of schooner rig, fine models, and fast sailers. They are built by the islanders, tho timbers being of native hard wood (horseflesh), the planking of yellow pine, from Nortii Carolinui and. vary in tonnage from 15 to 60 tons. The spongers ship on the sliaro principle. The cost of the outfit is first deducted from the sale of the sponges, then the shipowner takes one-third, the crew two-thirds. Fish are caught with fish-pots, hand-lines and nets, the nets being taken out. sonic distance from the land, and hauled slowly in to the shore, when a great variety, many of brilliant and variegated colours, is Uiiually secured. It forms an important article of food, but none are exported, with the exception of turtle (^Chelonia Mydas), and the hawksbill {Chehnia imbrieata) yielding the tortoiso-sliell of commerce. The estimated value of fish used in home consumption is £18,000 per annimi, and of turtle exported £600 per annum. King, queen, and common conch-shells are exported in large quantities, being used for cameos, and in the latter is found the beautiful pale pink pearl now becoming so valued. The value of shells exported is £1,200 per annum, and of pearls £3,000 per annum. ■Ambergris is also found on these shores, and sea-cucumber (trepang). The value of ambergris exported is £1,000 per annum. Corals and small shells, which are very beautiful, ore largely collected, and find a nndy salo among tho American visitors, and in England. llie value of the sponge o.^ports in 1885 was £58,000, in 1883 it was £60,000. In 1882 it was £59,033. From an otBcial report tlie following is extracted : — " That tho sponge trade gives employment to several thousands of persons and some hundreds of vessels, the.'spongos being divided into coarsu and fine. The principal varieties, in order of tlieir value, are known as sheep- wool, white reef, abaco velvet, dark reef, boat, hardhead, grass, yellow, and glove ; and of some of these varieties there are several grades, designated by numbers, all being^uscd for mechanical, rargical, and bathing purposes. Bahama and Florida sponges are about equal in texture and nine, but both are inferior to those of the Mediterranean. The vessels employed in sponging are small, with crews of from six to twelve men. About six weeks' provisions are taken on board, and they then coiwt along the banks and reefs, where tho water is shallow, and generally n dear that the sponges are readily seen, and are brought to the surface by hooked poles, or lometimos by diviug, When first brought up they are covered with a soft gelatinous substance M black as tar ovd full of organic life, tho sponge as wo know being only the skeleton of the Wm y-r'i I H 496 The Bahamas. T oiganism. The day's oatoh is spiead out on the deok so as to kill the r^ass of animal life, which, in drying, emits a moat unpleasant smell. Then the spongers gc| ashore and build a pen or "oravl" of stakes dose to the water's edge, so that the action of the tide may wash* away the black covering, in which it is aided by pounding the sponges with sticks. When this operation is completed the sponges are strung upon small palmetto strips, three or four to a «^p, which is called <* a bead," when they are taken to Nassau to be sold in the sporige-market ' Aei certain conditions and regulations, nobody being allowed to sell his cargo otherwise than through this sponge exchange. On the conclusion of the sale the sponges are taken to tho packing-yard, where they are sorted, clipped, soaked in tubs of lime-water, and spread out to dry in the sun. They ar« then pressed by machinery into bales, containing 100 lbs., and iu this state are shipped to England or the United States, which of late years is almost the largest customer for Bahamas sponges. The export has been gradually increasing, for whereas ir. 1874 it only represented £16,000, last year it amounted to £58.000. In consequence of the number of islands, harbours are easily made during heavy weather, and sad cases of distress are of rare occurrence. A school of art has been recently established in order to teach the natives to utilize the many beautiful products which abound in the island, and which hav9 hitherto been exported to Italy for manufacture. Amongst these, perhaps, the most useful are the conch-shell and the tortoise-shell. Some finely-carved cameos are shown in the Exhibition, executed by pupils of the art schools. Buttons, sleeve-links, and a variety of other useful and ornamental articles are made from the many shells of all sizes and kinds which are picked up in extraordinary abundance on the coast, also very artistic shell flowers. ' Pink pearls are found in tho conch-shells, and are of great value and much prized by jewellers, and are beautifully illustrated in the Court They differ in value according to size and colour. Among the many varieties of useful woods which grow abundantly in the various islands are the mastic, fustic cedar, pitch pine, Madeira mahogany, horseflesh (a peculiarly hard wood), satin. Lignum vitte, logwood, ebony, bragellette, poison wood, stopper, much utilized for piles for building wharves. Of trees yielding barks of commercial value, the cascarilla and cinnamon (CnneUa dOtu) are the two most deserving of mention. The oandle-berry myrtle (Myriea uni/era) producing vegetable wax, thrives. The fruit trees are of great variety, the principal are the coooanut tree, orange, shaddock, lemon, sappadilles, mel'' J, banana, tamarinds and guavos. Grapes grow well, but the other firuits of the temperate kone, such as peaches, strawberries, &&, are almost unknown. The flowers are of infinite variety and beauty, aud embrace most of those common to the tropics and many peculiar to the islands. The botany of the islands is fully lepresented in the Court by a series of exquisite drawings made expressly for the Exhibition by Her Excellency Mrs. Blake. Owing to the great number of strongly scented blossoms and meiiicinal bulbs and roots, it is believed that the science and art of the distiller and perfumer might be introduced with favourable results. The fibre of the pineapple leaf could also be turned to advantage, since it can be used for production of a strong and exceedingly fine kind of linen and gauze. The plants grow abun- dantly all over the Archipelago. The same fibres which are being so extensively exported from Yucatan are gradually being appreciated in the Bahamas, where many of them grow wild, and doubtless in due time they will assume their proper position in the conuneroe of the isUinds as an important export. Climate.— Tho climate of the Bahamas is famous throughout the world for its beauty and healthiness, and Nassau is now a formidable rival of Nice with the valitudinarians of the United States. The maladies of all others which Nassau benefits most are those of the lungs and nervous system. The surface drainage of the city is excellent. Water soon disappears, either through the gutters cut in the stone— which, by the way, are very good— at the roadside, or by percolation. It would hardly be possible to find a stagnant pool of any kind. The streets aro very neat, and as both the wide side-walks and the carriage*ways are cut on the native rook, and an equally hard and clean, it is as customary to walk on the latter than the former.

Tbe West Africa Settlements consist of Sierra Leone, with Freetown aa its principal town ; »nd fJie Cfombia, situated on the Biver of that name, with its chief town of Bathurst. Sierra Leone was ceded to Great Britain in 1787 by the native chiefs ; and was made a reflidence for fVeed slaves from the United States and West Indies. A largo tract of country called Sherbro was added to it in 1862. The scenery of Sierra Leone is very picturesque ; and the line of hills from which it derives itff name has a beautiful appearance, especially from the sea ; but the climate has proved very deadly to European residents. 8IERBA ZiEOITB. This Colony unfortunately did not send its exhibits until after the opening of the Exhibitiou, and therefore could not be noticed in our first edition. It now has a very intercstiug and extensive collection of the various Oils, Seeds, Fibres, Bnbber, Woods and other products of tbe country. There are also excellent speoimens of Mandingo Leather work, as well as of the Native-made Cloths, Baskets, Pottery, &o. la the first case on the left there are two very fine specimens of embroidered Native Garments, such as are worn by chiefs. It would be difficult to give too much praise to these cloths, produced as they are in every particular by Native industry, their fineness of texture and excellence of colour being especially conspicuous. An interesting exhibit is the collection of decorated and silver-mounted Ivory work, chiefly used as personal ornaments, and in many cases engraved with verses from tiio " Koran." There are also some Gold ornaments of excellent workmanship. Here, as in the other West African Colonies is to be found an exhibit of Native leather work; the specimens sent by Sierra Leone, however, show veri' high excellence of workmanship and oousiderable ingenuity in decoration, more particularly in the way m which use hue been made of interlaced straw work. Hammocks of cotton thread, as well as of the more common grass material, are shown in various places throughout the Court, the latter of which being remarkable as an instance of the varied use to which its material can be put. In addition to large and varied samples of grass cloth, a most interesting and ingenious loom is displayed, showing the fabric in process of manufacture. The closeness of texture and light- ness of these cloths renders them especially suitable to the hot climate of the Colony. A very handsome and varied collection of skins is displayed to great advantage on the wali^. the leopard skin which is to a great extent made use of in the decoration of weapons, beuig jxirnaps the most conspicuous. The Central Case is occupied with exhibits from the Sher»r(>, an outlying portion of the Sierra Leono Settlements, which have all been sent by Mr. AUdridge of that place. The cloths and chiefs' gowns in this case are particularly good specimens of Native work. We have here, and in other cases, remarkably fine siiecimens of some of tlie most prominent Fetishes worshipped in these parts. Tlie most striking of these are the heads of two " Bundoo " devils made of cotton wood and stained by palm oil, «S:c. Those are worn in native " Bundoo " ceremonies by the chief dancer or priestess. Otlier Fetishes are shown by the use of which the natives believe that life may be taken or madness caused ; others iigain are supposed to be efficacious in producing rain when needed, or bringing ill-luck to an enemy. These beliefs are so strong tunt " Fetish " is dreaded even by educated natives. The food and vegetable products constitute one of the chief features of thi:) exhibit. Here will be recognized many well-known substances, amongst which may bo enumerated popper, 2 K 2 t !i ■: ij 500 West Africa Settlements. palm kernel nuts, gingor and samploa of several kinds of rico in various stages. Bunches of diffoient grasses are also shown which aro used for purposes varying from the making of ropes or building of " Kraals " to the finer luatorial used for woaving the cloths already referred to. This class of exhibit U rendered oouiploto by the classified Hpccimens of the principal roots and vroods of the country. Curious siMScinions are also sliown of native musical instruments and pottery, practically the saiae as those exhibited in the other colonies of the West Goost. QAMBIA. The settlement of the Gambia lies considerably to tho north of Sierra Leone, the tract of country between tho two being mostly in the hands of tho natives. It is much mixed up with tlie possessions of the French, wlio are pusliing their way in all directions from their colony of Senegambia. The Gambia makes a good show with a variety of Exhibits, which illustrate the resources of the country. Tho late Administrator, Captain Moloney, C.M.G., previous to his promotion to bo Governor of Lagos, succeeded, with the assistance of an energetic Local Committee, in forming a most valuable and interesting collection of the various articles of the produce and industries of tho neighbourhood, as well as of specimens of Natural History. The Products are classifiod as follows : — Oil producing and other Seed Boots; Samples of Coflfee and Tea; Medicinal Plants; routributed by Mr. E. Allegro, of Bathurst. Indigo. Bubber. Oils. Gums. Beeswax. Woods. Fibre and Bope. Among these are the Yeraoh Seeds which are used by the Natives as candles, one nut being placed after another in such a manner that tho flame is transmitted from seed to seed BO as to give an uninterrupted light for a couHiderable period. The " Faftan " or silk tree is indigenous to the Gambia. Its leaves and roots aro made use of in medicines, and in addition to this the French manufacturer has succeeded in making some fine cloths from the silky produce of the pods. Another better-known plant is the " Banhanasscy " Boot or Yam, tho root of which when 'sliced, dried, and reduced into flour is largely used for mixing with that of the native corn, and may be said to form one of tho most important food products of tlie Colony. This collection i8 renderoil ooinploto by exhibits of various seeds, fruits, &c., used for medicinal and other purposes. An elaborate display of Swords, Pouches, &c., made principally of highly-finished leather, neatly ornamented for the most part with geometrical designs, are to be seen arranged on the walls. The nature of the Agricultural Implements in use in the Colony is shown in the form of a trophy on the wall. Although somewhat crude in form, they still show evidence of a considerable skill in adaptation to the ])urpo80s for which they are designed. In conclusion wo may draw attention to the various exhibits of literature, for the most part of a religious character, and sent by tho various missions ; as well as the cleverly-executed models of Native craft, the wickir-work, furniture, nnd various carvings in wood. The literature comprises various Testaments, Catechisms, Dictionaries, and Grammars, (Sec, in the Native language. The Natural History. Collection contains Heads of Monkeys and a Wild Boar, Horns and Skins, Ivory Tusks, Fisli preserved in bottles, nnd a beautiful Collection of Butterflies, Beetles.

The Gold Oonst hoa been occupied in one form or another as a British Settlement since 1372, when the Boyal African Company was formed, whicli built several forts along the coast, and strengthened Cape Coast Castle, whicli was already in existence. This company was succeeded in 1750 by the African Company of Merchants, wliich was constituted by Act of Parliament. Tliis company was dissolved in 1821, and tho forts transferred to the Crown, and placed under the Government of Sierra Leone. Tliis was soon followed by the first Ashanti war, and on Januaiy 24, 1824, tho Governor, Sir Charles Macarthy, was defeated and slain, and his head carried to Coomassi. This war was ended) by a victory over the Ashantis near Accra in 1827. After this the Government of the country was again placed in the hands of a mercantile body, which continued until the second Ashanti war in 1863. A force of West Indian troops was then marched to tho Prah, and encamped there ; but the enemy never appeared, and the troops were withdrawn after suffering great loss from sickness. These events were followed by a rearrangement of possessions between the English and the Dutch, which occasioned so much trouble to tho latter power that, in 1871, Holland abandoned to Great Britain all its rights on tho coast. This convention was not approved of by the King of Ashanti, who, in December, 1872, mvaded the British Protectorate, and so commenced tho third and last Ashanti war. In 1873 it was determined to send out troops to repel the invasion, and to take Coomassi. This was carrieia i*t Co., C. IkddMcltiiK), Gnmbin Umthora, F. Calto- jii, €. UaMola. V. TeHta. Itev.

Situation,— ^ypma U the most easterly island in the Mediterranean, and with the exception of Sicily and Sudinia it is the largest in that aea. It is only 45 miles distant from Gape Enamour, the nearest point of Asia Minor, and 60 miles from Latikieh, the nearest point of Syria. Its chief port, Lamaca, is 250 miles from Port Said and 300 miles from Alexandria. Extent. — ^The Island is 145 miles long, and the breadtli of the main body of the Island is about 50 miles. Its superifio les of arable land baa been estimated as 2,500,000 acres, of which only about a tenth jwrt is yearly under culture. Formation. — In general terms the Island may be described as formed of two mountainous ranges, one to the north and the other to the south, with an extensive plain of great fertility between them. On the southern range of mountains the most elevated peaks are — Troodos, 0590 ft. ; Adelphi, 5880 ft. ; and Machora, 4730 ft. ; and the highest peaks on the northern range are Saint Hilarion, 3340 ft ; Buffaventa, 3240 ft. ; and Mount Elias, 2810 ft. Clitnate. — The climate is not in general insalubrious, but the heat in summer is considerable. On the hottest day in 1884 the thermometer marked a maximum heat varying from 95° to 108° Fahrenheit in ditforent parts of the Island on the sea level. The temperature in winter is moderate. On the coldest day in 1884 the thermometer indicated from 21° to 40° in different parts of the Island on the sea level. So salubrious and invigorating is the climate on the more elevated plateaux that several regiments of British soldiers sent there last year from Suakim in a very enfeebled condition were restored to perfect vigour after a few weeks' residence on the 'Ixoodos range of mountains. Biven. — The Island possesses no rivers of importance, and little of the water of the winter torrents reaches the sea, being absorbed on its course by the thirsty soil. Rainfall. — Tho rainfall in the Island is extremely low, ranging in a good year from IG to 21 inches during the winter mouths. Harhoun. — There is no safe or commodious harbour in the Island. Tho works of the ancient harbour of Famagousta are in a fair degree of preservation ; hv* the isner harbour itself, covering a space of about 80 square acres, is so filled with siltings that it is now only available for vessels of 100 to 150 tons burdea. It ia at present proposed to make a port at Eyrenia on the north side of the Island. History. — Cyprus is referred to in tho Book of Qeneeis (x. 4) under the name of " Kittim," nud we are there informed th:it its inhabitants belonged to the Aryan family of nations, deecen- (lants of Japheth. It was conquered by Thothmes III. of Egypt about b.o. 1600, but on tho declino of the Egyptian dynasty ivgainnd its independence a few centuries later. About B.C. 725 tho Island beo&me subject to Assyria, and history informs lu that it was then divided into nine kingdoms. Its allegiance was transferred to the Persian successors of the Assyrian^kings. About b.o. 568 the Island was again made subject to Egypt under Amasis. About b.c. 521 the Cypriotes espoused the cause of Cambyses, King of Persia, and assisted him in his successful invasion of Egypt. From that time till Persia was conquered by Alexander the Great, tho Island continued to form part of the fifth division of the Persian Empire. In b.c. 310 Cyprus was attached to the- IHolemaio kingdom of Egypt, and remained so oonneoted until it was annexed to the Bomaa Empire in b.o. 57. Thus at the time of Our Lord Cyprus formed part of the Roman Empire. It was the birthplaoo of Barnabas tho Apostle^ and was visited by him and St. Paul in tiie early tlnys of the Christian Church. When the Roman Empire became divided into the Empires of the Vv'est, with Rome sa its capital, and of the East, with Constantinople as its capital, Cyprus was connected with the Empire of the Eiist or Byiantino Empire. In A.D. 1191 Richard Cceur de Lion, King of England, when on his way to the Holy Land «mqaered the Island of Cyprus. The nuptials of the English King with Berengnria of Navarre m i •,' m 610 Cyprua. \rcre celebrated at Limasal in Cyprus, on the 12th of May, 1191, the Archbishop of York there placing the crown of England on the head of the Prinoeas. Impatient to proceed to the Holy Land, Bichard Cceur de Lion sold the Island to the Knights Templars for 100,000 hesants d'or, a sum whose relative value in our day has been calculated to be £320,000. The Knights Tomplors were, however, unable to keep the Island in subjection, and after a few years' possession they requested Richard to take it back. This the English monarcli did, and gave it to Quy de Luzignan, a French Crusader, who had assisted him in the «onquest of the Island. Cyprus was ruled by &uy de Luzignan and his descendants until A.i>. 1489, when Catherine Comsro, the widow of Jacques U., the lost of the Luzignan kings, abdicated the throne of Cyprus in favour of the Venetian Republic. The city of Famagoustahad been wrested from the liuzignan King Pierre II. in a.d. 1376, by the Genoese, and remained a colony of that oommeruii>l republic until a.d. 1264, when it waa reconquered by Jacques II. In A.D. 1571, in i,he reign of Sultan SeUm II., Cypinis was conquered by the TnAa, and remained part of the Ot^tuian Empire from that time. In 1877 the Islaiid was ceded by Sultan Abdul Hamid to Queen Victoria, in consideration ol an annual payment equivalent to tlie surplus revenues which it had yielded to the Ottomon treasury in the preceding five years. In virtue of this cession Cyprus is now administered as a British Colony. Population,— In ancient times the Island of Cypms is reputed to have hud a population uf 3,000,000 of souls. In the reigns of the Roman Emperors Csesar Augustus and Vespasian, the Island suffered greatly from earthquakes, and from about that perio4 ite prosperity and population began to decline. In the fourth century of our era Cyprus was afflicted by drought during seventeen consecutive years, and became nearly depopulated. In the seventh and eight centuries the Island was repeatedly devastated by Arab invasions under ttie «JaIiphs. After the conquest by the Turks in 1571, the population of Cypms is said to have fallen to 80,000 souls. The greater tolerance, which began to characterise the Ottoman administration under Sultan Mahmomd improved the lot of the Cypriotes, and since then the population has steadily increased. At a census taken in 1881, it was ascertained that the present population of the Island amounts to 186,173, thus sub-divided: — 137,C31 of the Greek religion. 45,458 Moliommedans. 3,084 various religions. Products. — The fertility of the soil was proverbial in ancient times. In the rich plain of the Messoria tlio yield in a good year reaches 40 bushels of barley or 25 bushels of wheat per acre, without other manuring thivn the fertilizing deposits left by the winter torrents. The products ore very varied, of which the most important are grain of all kinds, sesame, linseed, wine, silk, n^tvhlor roots, locust beans (caroubs), and cotton. Grain. — Of wheats and barley the finest arc known as those of Lefcn. They weigh about G2 lbs. jier bushel fur whuat, and 47 lbs. per bushel for barley. The ordinary qualities weigh from 50 to 58 lbs. \ier bushel for wheat, and 43 to 45 lbs. jier bushel for barley. The wheats of Cyprus are nil hard wlioats, and in general small in grain. Their value is depreciated in foreign markets from the dofoetivo system of threshing them out That system is the some which woe followed in patriaichul times. The grain, when brought from the fields, is spread about six inches deep on tlie threshing iloor, which is simply a level piece of hard ground. A flat board of wood, into tlie lower surface of which small pieces of flint are inserted, id drawn over the grain by horses or bullocks during scvoml days, the grain being turned daily. ' This process of trituration not only separates the grain from the ears, but roduoes the straw to broken sections. In the process, however, small stones detach themselves from the surface of the threshing floor and mix witli the grain. Being about the same in size and weight as th'j ,'^aiu, no ordinary fanners can separate them, and the presence of these small stones depreciates the grain for the use of millers Some years ago au engineering firm in England (Messrs. Brown & May) oonbtructcd a threshing . ..d cutting machine, intended not only to separate the grain from the ears, but also to tear up the straw in a uiauuer similar to that eft'ectcd by the native system. II seemed to promise moat favourable results, but its working was defective. The perfectmg of such a nuchine would confer a great boou upon agriculturiitts, not only in Cyprus, but also in Asia Minor and Syrifti Cypnu. 511 IP where the game impeiEeot system of threshing is followed. The sabjeot is deserving the attention of machiniata in England, as the sale of a really satisfactory machine might be large both in Cyprna and Asia Minor. 8a$d$. — ^The sesame and linseed grown in Cyprns are both of good qoality, the linseed being considered equal to that of Bombay. Wine. — ^The grapes are of exceptionally good quality, and very moderate in price. Their cultuze ia yearly increasing, and more care is being devoted to the preparation of Ihe wines produced. Until recent years the wines were all prepared in jars, which, to make them resist during the process of fermentation, were besmeared with tar. This communicated a disagreeable taste to the wines, but wooden cariks are now being extensively used instead of besmeared jars, and the wines ore thereby made more marketable. A great variety of qualities are exhibited at the tasting bar of the Cyprus Court, to which the attention of wine merchants is especially invited. The Cyprus common wines arc reported to be rich in colour and full in body, qualities which, combined with cheapness, render them especially useful for mixing. The wines known OS Commanderia have always enjoyed a high reputation on the Continent. They nro most strengthening and sweet in flavour. The export of wine in 188-t was about 1,500,000 gallons, of which fully two-thirds went to Egypt and Turkey. iSi»7^. — ^Tlie silks of Cypi-us are remavkablo for tlieir strength. Those of Pnplios are superior in this quality to all the silks of the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, and for many years have been specially used lU France in the making of gold and silver laces. The cocoons are less pointed than elsewhere, which greatly facilitates their reeling. Six pounds weight of cocoons will yield one pound of silk thread. The industry has suffered greatly from the disnnse which attacked some years ago all the tiilkworms of the Levant ; bnt there are indications that the disease is diminishing in virulence, and hope that this industry, so profitable, especially to the women of the island, may again be of importance. The attention of English manufacturers of gOid and silver lace, and of all objects where great strength in the silk employed is required, is especially invited to the samples submitted of silk cocoons, of silk threa/l, and manufactured silks. Madder Soots. — The culture of this root was, up to 1873, very considerable, and of great profit to agriculturists. It was largely used in the dyeiug of Turkey red yams, which, indeed, probably got their name from this root being first imported into England from Cyprus and Smyrna. Tlie discovery of extracting similar coloured dyes from minerals has seriously decreased the demand for madder roots during the past thirteen years ; but it is beginning to be found that, although less oxpf nsive, these mineral dyes are greatly inferior in fastness to those produced from madder roots, and the latter are being more sought aft». Should this improve- ment in the demand continue, the culture may be expected to resume its former impoiiiance. Locust Beans. — This article is the fruit of the caroub tree. Its production has greatly increased in recent years, stimulated by an increasing demand, especially br England. It is largely used in the manufacture of food for cattle, and a variety of other j nrposes. The bean contains a large quantity of saccharine matter, and is consequently very nutritions. Low freights have also much encouraged the trade in the article, enabling shippers to sell it at moderate prices. The caroubs of Limassol and Lcfcara are the finest in quality, and obtain relatively higher prices than those of Kyrenia. The exports of caroubs from the island in 1884 amounted to 30,000 tons, of which about a half came to England. Cotton— Tho cotton produced in the island is of good colour and strong, but rather short in fibre. Daring the civil war in the United States of America, seeds from that country were introduced and succeeded perfectly. Some of their produce was classed as nearly middling Orieana in quality, but these foreign seeds have deteriorated, and require to be renewed. In 1884 the export of cotton amounted to 1,400,000 lbs. Fruits.— In fruits, the produce of the island is very varied, and of good quality. We have aheady referred to grapes. Pomegranates are exceptionally flue in quality, and the export is oonsideiable to Egypt • Figs are abundant, but inferior to those of Smyrna. Oranges and lemons are abundant, and of excellent quality. Apricots are exceptionally good. Melons Ghenies and almonds may also be specially mentioned. li .,!;in ■■■ I iiiii viiFl ail I ill i-i'iU i;;!; .A if 612 Cyprus. MineraU. — Uypnu in ancient times was celebrated for its copper and silver mines, and their sites are indicated by extensive mounds of scoriae. Asbestos is first mentioned in con- nection with Cyprus, where veils for the theatre were made of that mineral, and said to have been cleaned by being passed through fire. Samples of copper, coal, and asbestos wiU be found amongst the exhibits. DrauJbaekt to AgrieuUure.— The two great drawbacks to the agricultural prosperity of the island have been drought ftnd locusts; but, thanks to active measures adopted by the British Administration in recent yean, both of these impediments are in the fair way of removal. Drought. — ^Under former administrations, the diminution of forests in the island from the ravages of goats and a wMteful destruction of trees for the extraction of pitch, was permitted to an alarming extent, and vast tracts which possessed rich wooding a century ago have become absolutely destitute of trees. To this circumstance the insufficiency in rainfall may be surely attributed. The, British Administration of the island five years ago adopted stringent measures to prevent these evils, and ia in process of forming the forests into blocke, which will be protected seriatim, during such time aa is required for the growth of the young trees to a certain height. The most favourable roaults of this system are already apparent, and in a few years it may certainly be expected that the wooding in the island will be quadrupled. Locusts. — ^For many centuries the island has suffered severely from the scourge of locusts. Under the enlightened administration of His Excellency Said Pasha, they were nearly extir- pated in 1870 ; but immediately previous to and for the first two years of the B^ritish occupation, nothing was done to keep in check the natural increase of this plague. When it is said that locusts multiply annually in the ratio of eighty from one, it may easily oe imagine 1 the disastrous results of this neglect daring a period of five or six years. During the past four years, however, energetic measures have been taken by the island administration, and after untiring efforts, although at a coat of £67,000, it may again be said that the locusts are so greatly reduced in number that they present no longer a serious menace to agriculture. The systems adopted iu their deetruction were similar to those pursued in 1870, namely, the destruction of the egga, and capturing the locusts while on the march by an ingenious device invented by the Cher. Bicliard Mattel, G.M.Q., a large landed proprietor in the island. This last ingenious device is fully explained in a report of Mr. Samuel Brown, M.L.G., C.E., Director uf Public Works in the island, and in his printed pamphlet sold in the Exhibition. Specimens of the cloths and traps used are also exhibited in the Cyprus Court of this Exhibition. From the measures adopted for the removal of the two great impediments from which agriculture has suffered iu the past, viz., drought and loouats, a great increase in the productive wealth of the island may be surely predicted. Adininistration. — ^The Island of Cyprus is administered, under the Colonial Office, by a High GommisbJoner, assisted by a Legislative Council "composed of 18 members, G of whom are public officers appointed by the Crown, and 12 are elected by the people. Of the 12 elective members, 3 are elected by the Mahometans and 9 by the non-Mahometan inhabitants, these numbers being based on the respective numbers of Mahometans and non-Mahometans as revealed by the crT<8U8 taken in 1881." Revenue and Expenditure. — The following is a summnry of the Revenue and Expenditure as compiled from papers submitted to Parliament : — Bevenue Expenditure (exclusive | of Surplus Bevenues to > the Porte) . . . ) 1879-80. £ 151,861 115,165 1880-81. £ 156,089 119,417 1881-82. 1882-83. £ 163,732 157,672 £ 189,334 120,635 1883-84. £ 194,051 111,685 1884-85. £ 172,072 112,085 The "mean" revenue for the above-mentioned six years was £171,189, and the *'mean" expenditure during the same period was £122,77 J. The present expenditure is however about 11,000 less than the "mean " of the past six years, whereas the revenues appear to be full; equal to the "mean" of the past six years. years: C^prui. 518 ' mines, and med in con- said to have Btoa will be [>erity of the y the British oaoval. jid from the as permitted ry ago Lave infall may be ted stringent 8, which will aung trees to , and in a few ed. rge of locusts, nearly extir- sh occupation, it is said that the disastrous ears, however, itiring efforts, tly reduced in na adopted in tt of the eggs, i by the Chev. nious device is blic Works in loths and traps isures adopted iiffered iu the island maybe Bee, by a High of whom are the 12 elective abitants, these lahometans as d Expenditure d the "mean" however about sar to be fully 8urpltt$ ilerflnufl.— Under the terms of the Convention of the 4th of Jane, 1878, between Her Britannic M^esty and His Imperial Majeaty the Sultan, in reference to Cypma, it was bgreed that the amount of the average surplus revenue, after deduction of expenditure, which was received from Cyprus by the Ottoman Treasury duriog the five years preceding the British occupation of the Island was to be paid annually to the Sublime Forte by the British Govern- ment. This average surplus revenue was ascertained to amount to Piastres 11,121,952, but their equivalent in sterling does not appear to have been yet established between the two Governments. The equivalent Las however been estimated to represent in sterling £87,800. By a subsequent agreement the British Government consented to pay a further sum of £5000 per annum to His Imperial Majesty the Sultan in consideration of the abandonment of certain Crown lands. Consequently the Treasury of the Island of Cyprus is burdened annually with a payment due to the Sublime Forte which is estimated to represent £92,800. To face this payment the average annual excess of revenue over expenditure during the past six years has only amounted to about £50,000, and the difference has to be made good by the British Government. There is, however, a fair prospect of the excess of revenue over expenditure more nearly approximating in the future the monetary obligations to the Sublime Porte. Trade. — ^The following is a rebame' of the total of Imports and Exports during the past six years : — 1878. 1879. 1880. 1881. 1882. 1883-4. 1884-5'.

Tra Falklkiid Isltiidi, oonabtiog of ih« Eut and West Falkland and about 100 other ttntU iMlan^a^aM aitnated in the South Atlantic Oooan, between 51<*and 83<*Muth latitude and between AT" and 62" west longitude. Mount Adam, the highest ground in the Colonyt riiee 2,815 feet abore the level of the aea. Those islands were disoovered by DaTis, in 1592, and visited by Hawkins in 1S04. In 1763 they were taken possession of by France ; subsequently they were held by the Spaniards until 1771, when they were for a time given up to Great Britain. In 1820 the Bepublio of Buenot Ayies established a settlement in these islands which was destroyed by the Americans in 1881, In 1833 they were taken possession of by the British Government for the protection of the whale fishery, and colonized, and from tiiat time to the present so continued, being as a whole the most southerly organized of the colonies of the British empire. The climate is healthy and temperature equable, the thermometer ranging flrom 80° to 80" in winter, and from 40° to 65° in summer, during which season the atmosphere is remarkably dry and the evaporation rapid. The wiodd rise at about 10 am. and fall away again between 4 and 5 P.M., during middle day often amounting to a gale. The soil is chiefly peat, but near tiia Buxfoce where the clay is of a lighter quality und mixed with vegetable remains, it is good soil lit for cultivation. Stone of two or three kinds suitable for building is found in different parti of the islands. Babbits, snipe, gocse, wild duck, dotterel, teal, hares, wild cattle, horses and pigs, ore to l>e found here in large quantities, the tussao grass, which grows to a height of 7 feet, with a bxeadlh of I inch, being very fattening for cattle. Sheep have been introduced and found to do well, the wool being of an excellent quality, realizing a high price in London markets. The ezporti consist of wool, hides, horns, hoofs, bones, and tallow. The Government is administered by a governor, aided by an executive and legislative council, the members of both councils being appointed by the Crown. The tonnage of vessels entered in 1884 was 33,086, including men-of-war and steamers. The Statesmen's Year Book gives : — Revenue, 1884 . . . .

TURNER-TURNER, Esq., April 11, 1886 : "Having witnessed the shooting of your new 'Paradox' Gun, I am of opinion that it far excels anything of tbe sort yet invented. 8 Shots with conical ball, at no and 100 yards rpFpcciivcly, were within a 3 and 4-in(:U buU'l-eye with great penetration, and the shooting with shot wns all that one could wish." The above results were obtained from our NEW DOUBLE-BARRELLED "PARADOX" GUN, 12-BORE, having the same appearance and weight as an ordinary 71b. 12-Bore Shot Gun.
