‘GAM | 
BIA. 
In the Kew Bulletin oe June 1889 an account was gi ven of the 
attempts which had been made, mainly through the initiative of the 
d 
Administrator, Mr. Gilbert T. Carter, C.M.G., to develop agricultural 
industries at the Gambia.

physical difficulties which stand in the way of any permanent success 
in this aaah DE iso. "TE must be regarded as pretty conclusively estab- 
lished that any value the British Settlement at the Gambia possesses 
must pend upon the trade of which it is the centre, and that little 
trade can ever be entertained of turning its independent resources 
e much profitable account.
