Oa the other hand, we see in many instances that 

 plants introduced into the Colony for twenty or thirty years 

 past, quickly spread all over the island, and constitute, in 

 several parts of it, so many forests assuming a quite new 

 aspect of vegetation and possessing more vigorous means of 

 reproduction, than the native plants. Such is the case with 

 the " Bois d'Oiseau," Tetranthera laurifoUa, " Goyavier de 

 Chine," Psidiiim sinense, " Bois de Campeche," Hcematoxylon 

 Gampechiamom, " Acacia Blanc," Acacia leitcocephala, so com- 

 mon now m the valleys of the Pouce. — As well as Tetranthera 

 tomentosa, and Ehretia serrata now growing in abundance in 

 some parts of Moka, Vacoa, Cluny, &c., where they are 

 known under the name of Telfairia. 



Therefore we think that foreign trees from the lower 111= 

 malaya, Nilgherris, and from the high lands at Ceylon, such 

 as Cedrela, 8amyda, Dalbergia to which we could add some 

 other foreign tress now naturalized in the island, as the Ga- 

 lopliylhmi inophyllum, Bois de Tatamaka, Kigelia pinnata from 

 Mozambique, Domieya vlhurniflora aad B. cuspida from the 

 Eastern coast of Africa and several others would be the pro- 

 per trees for replanting the central plateaux of the island. 



2o. What are the species of trees best suited for replan- 

 ting the lower lands ? 



2. Seedling Longans Anona reticulata, Cesar de boeuf, Ter^ 

 minalia, Acacia LebhecJc, Acacia elata, jllongifera indica, He- 

 ritiera, Rhus, Artocarpus incisa, Gamphora, Tectona, Gordia, ^•a. 



The declivity of hills or mountains might be phxuted with 

 different species of native Dracaenas, Marignia obtusifolia, 

 Zisyplus jujioba, Inga dulcis, Laiusonia alba, Ficus sp., &c. 



3o. What are the species of trees best suited for replanting 

 the " Pas Geometriques " ? 



3. Would have to be chosen with relation to different 

 heights of different parts of the " Pas Geometriques, " and 

 difierence of soil. 



We should recommend the foUowing: Barringtonia speciosa, 

 " Bonnet Carre, " — Thespesla populnea, " Porcher, " — Heri- 

 tiera Uttoralis, Garapa Moluccensis, a native of the Seychelles
