Director-General of Agriculture, Colonial Office, Belgium. 
[ ABSTRACT. ] 
This short note is communicated to the Congress in con- 
nection with photographs shown in the Rubber and Fibres 
Exhibitions at the Agricultural Hall, in order to obtain from 
other members of the Congress accounts of experience of the 
cultivation of coconuts at long distances from the sea coast. 
The note gives a few data about the climate of central 
Congo, where some coconut palms show excellent growth, 
even at a distance of 1,500 kilometres (goo miles) from the sea. 
The photographs show these Congo palms together with 
palms grown at Tabora, 420 miles from the sea, and on the 
shores of Tanganyika, 600 miles from the sea. Also a date 
palm grown on Tanganyika.
