OF AFRICA. 



By Professor EDM. LEPLAE, 

 Director-General of Agriculture, Colonial Office, Belgium. 



[ABSTRACT.] 



This short note is communicated to the Congress in con- 

 nection with photographs shown in the Rubber and Fibres 

 Exhibitions at the Agricultural Hall, in order to obtain from 

 other members of the Congress accounts of experience of the 

 cultivation of coconuts at long distances from the sea coast. 



The note gives a few data about the climate of central 

 Congo, where some coconut palms show excellent growth, 

 even at a distance of 1,500 kilometres (900 miles) from the sea. 



The photographs show these Congo palms together with 

 palms grown at Tabora, 420 miles from the sea, and on the 

 shores of Tanganyika, 600 miles from the sea. Also a date 

 palm grown on Tanganyika.
