it has been Vue y the stronger growing species liberica 
and robusta. Grown to some extent, on the Gold Coast, Brit. 
2000 acres under cultivation covered by 20 estates under European 
control (Ann. Report, Uganda, Dept. Agric. 1912, p. 33). 
Arabian coffee was being grown to a small extent in Lagos in 
1894 and at the Botanic Station (a few feet only above sea level) 
. and produced coffee valued at LE per cwt. in London. The Ilaro 
Estates and Plantations Co., Ltd., who commenced operations in 
1892, had about 1000 E a Soto in 1895, producing good 
but in 1898 the annual report on the Botanic Gardens states that 
they were not fence eed probably owing to the low altitude. A 
variety, ‘‘ Golden Drop,” and also ‘‘ Nalknad ” Coffee, as grown 
in Bangalore, sent from the Royal Botanie Gardens, Kew, were 
planted out at Old Calabar in 1900. 
This species has been recommended for cultivation in every 
West African Colony, on the hills of the interior(Kew Bull. 1890, 
p.197). Itis resur suitable for altitudes that suit Cinchona, 
and as the ntry opens out, suitable localities, especially in 
Northern Niven, will probably be found for this plant.
