I say again that visits like Mr. Cradwick's are necessary and are of 

 great value to the peasantry and what is more that they do and will 

 more largely appreciate them as they get more known. Trusting you 

 will be able to help us as asked.

V. HERBARIUM. 



When I entered on my duties in the Island in January 1887, the 

 collection of plants in the Herbarium was contained in six cabinets. 

 Since then 27 more cabinets have been filled. But there are still very 

 many species of plan' s both of economic value and botanical interest, 

 of which we have not been able to secure specimens. I will mention 

 one here which I am very anxious to obtain, that is, Jamaica Satin 

 Wood. Judging from the leaf only, it appears to be allied to Torch 

 Wood or Candle Wood (Amyris) and Prickly Yellow Wood (Xanthoxy- 

 lum), but it is necessary to have the flowers and seed-vessels to deter- 

 mine it exactly. 



Mr. Harris has continued his collecting with great success, and the 

 following are new additions to the flora of Jamaica.
