We have to announce that Mr. J. B. Carruthers the 

 Director of Agriculture for the Federated Malay States 

 and co-editor of this Bulletin, is leaving the Malay States 

 to take up a position in Trinidad. It appears that the 

 whole of the Botanical and Agricultural establishments of 

 Trinidad are being reorganized under a Director, Mr. 

 Carmody. Mr. J. H. Hart who has long been Superintend- 

 ent of the Botanical Department retired last year after a 

 service in the West Indies of thirty-three years, and last 

 year saw also the retirement of Mr. Fawcett, in charge 

 of the Botanic Gardens in Jamaica, and Sir Daniel Morris. 

 Mr. Carruthers leaves early in March.
