Plates I. and IV. are from Photographs by Mr. 
J. W. Cleary and plates II., III. & V. by Mr. J. W. 
C. Brennan. The articles photographed in plates 
II. & III. were kindly lent by the Self-help So- 
cieties, and those shown in plate V. by Miss 
Williams, who also lent the photograph of the 
Crocodiles for plate VI. 
“ Economic Plants,” by the Hon. Wm. Fawcett, 
B.Sc., F.L.S., was largely consulted in compiling 
the plant notes, and, in connection with these 
notes, I must acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. 
Wm. Harris, F.L.S., Superintendent of the Hope 
Gardens, for considerable help and information 
that I could not otherwise have obtained without 
great difficulty. Many of the plants referred to in 
the following pages may be seen at these Gardens 
which are easily accessible by car from Kingston. 
The courtesy and kindness received from many 
persons, have made a pleasant task of what might, 
otherwise, have been a laborious one.
