In tlic.se two years, therefore, the rubber obtained 

 from Africa amounted to a little more than one-foiu-th 

 of the estimated world's supply. 



The bulk of the African rubber comes from French 

 and Belgian possessions, which together furnished more 

 than one-half of the total in 1909 and 1910, whilst the 

 contribution of the British possessions was about one- 

 tenth of the total in 1909 and a little over one-eighth in 

 1910. It will be noticed that all the countries showed an 

 increased production during 1910, with the exception 

 of the^Belgian],Congo.
