This volume gives an account of the general agricultural con- 

 ditions and of the principal agricultural and forest resources of 

 the countries which make up British West Africa — the Gambia, 

 Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast with Ashanti and the Northern 

 Territories, Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. Cotton, 

 Palm Oil, Rubber, and Food-stuffs are among the subjects dealt 

 with. It is intended as a general guide to the resources of 

 British West Africa and will be of importance to the Student, as 

 well as to the Planter, the Merchant, and the Manufacturer.

 of the world that is rapidly coming to the front." — Daily News. 



" The information given is thoroughly practical, and if the 

 present book is a fair sample the series will be of high utility." — 

 Outlook. 



"... The admirable arrangement of the present volume leaves 

 nothing to be desired. Mr. Dudgeon has carried out his task 

 with thoroughness, and the book is excellently equipped with 

 maps, illustrations, and index." — Manchester Courier.
