attached to most of them, they were more curious than useful. 
The collection of gums and resins was also of a valuable and 
interesting nature, and contained some remarkably fine specimens. 
Vegetable oils, dyes, bitters, etc., were well represented. Various 
kinds of palm woods and articles manufactured therefrom at- 
tracted much attention, especially the articles manufactured by 
the Indians, including houses, furniture, canoes, basket-work, ete., 
in most of which palm predominated in one shape or another.

enterprise of those who collected, arranged, and managed it. 
St Vincent and Tobago. 
Alongside of the British Guiana exhibits there were arranged 
two very interesting collections from the West India islands of 
St Vincent and Tobago. These collections were also managed 
and arranged by Dr Russell and Dr Imlach, and in the case of 
the island of St Vincent the display was most comprehensive 
and instructive. Bamboos in great variety and articles made 
from them; cross and length sections of timbers, mostly of 
excellent quality and suitable for all sorts of purposes up to the 
finest cabinet work ; capital models of foresters’ huts, boats, rafts; 
neat basket work; fibres of great variety and fineness; gums,
