GRASS OILS. 



By H. H. Cousins. 

 In view of the recent observations on the growth of the Andropogon 

 grasses at the Hope Experiment Station and of the yield of oiL obtainable, 

 it appears desirable to compare these results with those recorded of the 

 same products prepared in Trinidad by the Superintendent of ttie Bstanio 

 Gardens and subsequently investigated by the Hon. F. Watts in the 

 Government Laboratory, Antigua. 



TKINIDAD OILS. 



LEMONGSASS OILS. 



The prices of this oil fluctuated during the last few months between 

 4|d. and 5|d. equal to 14:-50 to 17 marks per kilo purchase price, but the 

 article appears to be scarce in India, as large parcels were rarely offered. 

 We hear from Cochin that the yield of the harvest has been very 

 rsmall, and that in consequence the merchants are holding the goods back 

 ,in order to obtain higher prices.
