 Collection and Exchange of Seed. 



The two boys have been kept busy collecting seed in and 

 around the city. The seeding season for most of the flowering 

 trees and some of the forest trees is just coming in. Conse- 

 quently we will be busy for some time to come in getting up as 

 large a collection of fresh seed as possible. 



We have received from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sibpur, 

 near Calcutta, a package containing four species of Ficus, three 

 of which as far as I am aware, are new to the Islands. From 

 the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, we received two pack- 

 ages of grass seed, and from the Forest Department, Nairobi, 

 British East Africa, a list of plants and seed available for ex- 

 change with a request that our list of seed be forwarded to them. 

 Our list will be forwarded in a few days.
