56 CINCHONA BARKS. 
In 1877 there were exported from Bolivia 56,620 kilograms by 
water to Para, 254,009 kilograms to Arica, and 374,309 kilograms 
to Molendo (south of Islay and Arequipa). : 
The export from Ceylon amounted, in 1870, to 86,000, in 1880, 
to 186,000, in 1881, to 600,000 kilograms, and for 1882 it is estimat- 
ed at about 1 million kilograms.’ It may be presumed that in 1885 
the export will amount to at least 4 million kilograms. 
The plantations of the Dutch Government, in Java, had furnished, 
in 1879, but 35,000 kilograms, in 1880 more than 55,000 kilograms, 
in 1881 already 81,043 kilograms, and at the principal auction at 
Amsterdam, May 23, 1882, 81,000 kilograms were offered for sale. 
There are, moreover, also noteworthy plantations of private owners 
upon the island, which, in 1881, had already furnished 522 bales 
and 64 chests of Cinchona bark to the Amsterdam market. 
In May, 1880, the first supplies from Jamaica came to London, 
which, in March, 1882, had already attained to more than 15,000 
kilograms. 
In 1878 the import of France amounted to somewhat more than 
1,600,000 kilograms of Cinchona bark, ata value of 11,201,988 
francs, and in 1881 nearly as much. The United States received, 
between 1874 and 1877, an annual average of 3,853,662 pounds, 
and in 1881 nearly the same amount. 
London is the princial point for the commerce in Cinchona barks. 
The import of this place, which amounted to 1,140,000 kilograms 
in the year 1876, has since regularly increased, to a particular 
extent in the year 1881, and exceeded in’ the past year 6 million 
kilograms. If there be added thereto that which is imported into 
Paris, New York, Hamburg and Amsterdam, the total harvest of 
Cinchona bark for 1876 may be estimated at 3% million, for 1881, 
however, at 9 million kilograms. Hamburg, with an annual im- 
portation of about 30,000 to 80,000 kilograms of Cinchona bark, 
comes scarcely more into consideration than Amsterdam, where 
i brought the barks which are grown almost exclusively in 
ava. 
Since 1876 the greatest increase is to be seen inthe imports 
from India and Columbia (New Granada). From the latter country 
4,797,000 kilograms were received in London in 1881, which, 
indeed, includes the Cinchona cuprea, the occurrence of which, 
however, is probably but transitory. On April 1, 1881, there were 
stored in London 26,805 coli of Cinchona bark, thus at least
