GRANDE TERRE (see GUADELOUPE). 



GRENADA. 



Situated between 11° 58' and 12° 30' N. lat. and 61° 20' to 

 01° 35' W. long., and about 68 miles south-west of St. Vincent. About 

 21 miles long by 12 miles in its greatest breadth, with an area of 125 

 square miles. Mountainous and picturesque and abounding in streams. 

 The Grand Etang, a lake on the summit of the mountain ridge, at an eleva- 

 tion of 1,740 feet, is one of the most remarkable natural features. About 

 17,000 acres, out of a total of 76,653, are cultivated, but much of the un- 

 cultivated land is described as inaccessible. Valuable timber is reported 

 to be abundant, particularly bullet-tree (? Sideroxylon), locust (Hy- 

 meneea), mahogany (Swietenia), white cedar (Cedrela), and galba (Calo- 

 phyllum). Vanilla and several varieties of gum-yielding trees have lately 

 been discovered. 



Botany. 



This island has never been thoroughly botanised, but it is one of those 

 visited by Jacquin about the middle of the last century, and Mr. G. 

 Murray, of the British Museum, spent two or three weeks there in 1887. 

 Recently a small botanic garden has been established, and Mr. Elliott, 

 the present superintendent, has already partially explored the island 

 botanically, and sent a small collection of dried plants to Kew, from 

 ■which it appears that there are very few, if any, plants peculiar to the 

 island.
