A JOURNEY TO CEYLON, INDIA AND 

 BURMA. 



By D. Sandmann (Deutsches Kolonial 



BLATT, 1907.) 



Reviewed by J. C. Willis. 



The author made a tour of three months 

 in the East to study the general agricultural 

 conditions, with a view to determining the 

 best methods of handling such matters in 

 German colonies. 



After a good general description of the 

 island, including the povery of the soil, the 

 author remarks " The good climate, the cheap 

 labour, good connection with the world's 

 markets, and last but not least the correct re- 

 cognition of the world's different needs, has 

 contributed more than the natural conditions 

 of the soil, to the development of Ceylon. 



He gives a good account of the Peradeniya 

 department and its organisation for the 

 assistance of agriculture, the Agricultural 

 Society. 



A full account is then given of rubber 

 planting, coconuts, &c,
