So soon as this shall have been done and a memorandum show- 
ing the time of receipt and delivery furnished to the Customs 
Escort, the articles shall be taken charge of by the Escort and con- 
veyed to the King's Warehouse or other place, as arranged by 
the Landing Waiter; 
The greatest care must be taken by the Officer in charge of the 
King's Warehouse to keep plants, cuttings, etc., alive and in good 
condition; 
All expenses of removing the articles to the Government Labo- 
ratory, and thence to the King's Warehouse, with any expenses 
necessarily incurred in keeping the articles in good condition, shall 
be met by the Importer, all such amounts beings brought to 
account as King's Warehouse fees as provided by the Customs 
Regulations on the subject; 
Plants, cuttings, etc., should not be forwarded to the King's 
Warehouse in cases where importers defray expenses of removal, 
labour, ete., (if any) at once, and at the same time arrange with the 
Customs Officer to take delivery of the articles immediately after 
fumigation. This provision will refer more particularly to the 
plants, etc., brought by passengers and imported through the 
parcel post, etc. 
At British Guiana the following regulations are in force : 
Sugar-canes or cuttings thereof from Java, Australia, Fiji, Brazil, 
and the West Indian Islands shall not be permitted to be imported 
in any description of earth or soil; 
All sugar-canes or cuttings thereof from the above mentioned 
places are to be inspected by the Government Botanist before 
being removed from the wharf or stelling at which they are 
landed, and are not to be removed from that place unless per- 
mitted by the Government Botanist in writing ; 
If, on such inspection, the sugar-cane or cuttings thereof be 
found to be not free from pests or diseases of any sort already 
known to occur in the Colony, the sugar-canes or cuttings are to 
be treated as the Government Botanist may direct before remova: 
from the wharf. If they are found to be infected with any pest or 
disease not commonly known in this Colony, the sugar-canes or 
cuttings are to be destroyed under the supervision of the Govern- 
ment Botanist or an officer of the Department of Science and 
Agriculture delegated for that purpose;
