buildings are in sight : the line then passes alongside the 

 Government Farm and St Augustine Estate to a little beyond 

 the point where the San Fernando line branches off. The route 

 affords excellent views of the hills of the northern range. After 

 leaving St. Augustine, sugar is the predominant cultivation as 

 far as Arima. Incidentally large quantities of b unboo are 

 seen : their wide distribution is due to cultivation in previous 

 years as additional fuel in sugar manufacture. Indian cattle 

 (Zebus, introduced in 1879) are often well seen near Tacaiigua. 

 Beyond Arima, the line traverses a piece of barren land the 

 Aripo Savannah the view of which with Ltfl M neli-' palms
