EDWARDS's HISTORY OF THE WEST INDIA ISLANDS. 



BARBADOES. 



VOL. I. BOOK III PAGE 345. 



" THE soil in the low lands is black^ somewhat reddish 

 in the shallow parts, on the hills of a chalky marl, and 

 near the sea generally sandy ; of this variety of soil, the 

 black mould is best suited for the cultivation of the cane, 

 and with the aid of manure has given as great returns of 

 sugar in favourable seasons, as any in the West Indies, 

 the prime lands of Saint Kitts excepted." 



ISLAND OF GRENADA. 



VOL. I. BOOK III PAGE 376. 



" To the north and the east the soil is a brick mould, 

 the same or nearly the same as that of which mention 

 has been made in the History of Jamaica. On the west 

 $ide it is a rich black mould on a substratum of yellow clay.
