These extra6ls, for the most part made in the course 

 of searches in connexion with three or four families, 

 represent but a very small portion of the wills and deeds 

 recorded in the Colonial Secretary's Office in Barbados, 

 which of course are not of such general interest as are 

 the Minutes of Council and other records of the Legis- 

 lature of the 17th and i8th centuries. Still, it is hoped 

 that the foregoing will not altogether be 'caviare to the 

 general.'
