Appendices. — Surinam as a Dutch Possession. 177 



English Colony in Surynem, beginning of the warr and of its actions 

 dureing the warr, the takeing by a fleet from Zealand ( 8 ). 



The continuation of this is printed in the publications of the same 

 Society ( 9 ) in 1918 an Article " Surinam before the Conquest by 

 Abraham Crijnssen " in which I included " the description of Guiana " 

 by the same Major Scott, which MSS. was copied by the late Hon. N. 

 Darnell Davis of British Guiana and quoted on the occasion of the 

 Venezuela Brit. Boundary Case ( 10 ) and which was never printed in 

 Holland before. In this article I gave some particulars about Scott to 

 readers in Holland, which can also be found in the Rev. Edmundson's 

 article " The Dutch in Western Guiana " ( 1! ) 



In the explanatory notes ( 12 ) of my article, a statement was printed, 

 which I found in the States Archives in the Hague ( ,3 ), which proves 

 the expedition of Abraham Crijnssen cost 21,203. 18. 9 pounds Flemish. 



The conquest of Surinam in 1668 had cost according to a MSS. 

 found in Zealand by Baron Mulert /154,333-6-i0 florins. 



Before my return to Surinam I was fortunate in obtaining copies of 

 several documents ( 14 ) dealing with the conquest of Surinam, which are 

 in England, these will be interesting for readers in British Guiana, so far 

 as they are not already known. They will appear in the publications of 

 the Historical Society of Utrecht for 1919 C 15 ) and are annexed as 

 Appendix 1-9.

John TrefFry to Charles Pym. We have been long in expectation of 

 my Lord [Willoughby] who by his last told me that he would soon be 

 ready to sail, having fully agreed with His Majesty concerning Barbados
