GRENADINES. 



A group of small islands lying between Grenada and St. Vincent, 

 many of them being little more than rocks. Bequia and Carriacou are 

 the lai'gest. Other named islands are Ronde, The Sisters, Les Tantes, 

 Savan, Hillsborough, Frigate, Union, Little Martinique, Bird, Mayero, 

 Cannouan, Little Cannouan, Sail, Quati-e, Moustique, and Baliceaux. 



Mr. D. Morris informs us that these islands have been practically 

 denuded of their timber trees to supply Barbados with fuel. 



GUADELOUPE. 



Including the adjacent islands of Marie- Galante, Petite Terre, Les 

 Saintes, and La Desirade. This group extends from 15° 55' to 16° 30' N. 

 lat. and from 60° 57' to 61° 50' W. long. The main island consists of 

 two nearly equal areas, Grande Ten-e and Guadeloupe proper, connected 

 by a very narrow neck of land. Total area estimated at 635 square miles, 

 and the greatest altitude exceeds 5,000 feet. 



Grisebach (' Verbreitung der Pflanzen Westindiens ') indicates only 

 one very distinct flowering plant as endemic in Guadeloupe, namely, 

 Cremaniura coriaceum (Melastomacese). Yet this island is one of the 

 most thoroughly explored botanically.
