As will be seen, many of these are of Botanical interest only and do not form 

 part of the decorative collection. A part of the collection of the late Mr. J. Cun- 

 ningham has been added to our stock during the year, having been acquired by 

 purchase with the consent of His Excellency the Governor. 



ROADS, WALKS AND DRAINS. 



The main drive has been gravelled during the year, the work being carried on 

 conjointly between ourselves and the Public Works Department, the former finding 

 the material and the gardens the labour and supervision. 



In the same way a large new drain was built to assist in carrying off the surface 

 water from the main drive. This was a difficult operation, as in some places it had 

 to be laid at a depth of eight feet from the surface. It works well and relieves the drive 

 of storm water. This work was carried out under the immediate direction and 

 supervision of the Superintendent. A surface drain was also made across the back road 

 which prevents the overflow in the main drain near Guard House, which formerly did 

 considerable damage at each heavy fall of rain. All the garden drains have been 

 carefully overhauled, and repaired where necessary. A new piece of drain was put 

 in between the garden's office and Government House, relieving the Palm avenue of a 

 considerable amount of flood waters which formerly used to accumulate near the 

 front of the Governor's residence. 



The permanent paving of the large ravine has been considerably improved and 

 two large side dr^.iiis near the cemetery have been led thereto. The storm
