the Netherlands in the form of scrap balls, and tied with 
Eambong ribbons. 
The section was completed by a nice series of photo- 
graphs sent by Mr. Carruthers, and also from Cicely Su- 
ngei Krndda, Chendenang, Kamunmg, Vallambrosa, Batn 
Caves, and an interesting photo of the Penang Garden 
Para tree from Mr. Pox. From the Singapore Garden Mr. 
Ridlev sent mounted specimens of Hevea brazthensts m 
flower and fruit, (for which there were several applieants- 
these were delivered to Kew) as well as sepcimens of living 
plants and several tree steins. In literature Mr. Carru- 
thers prepared an account of the industry in Malaya and 
Mr R G Walson a pamphlet on the Land Laws and Land 
Administration of the P. M. S., including an appenmx 
shewing the cost of rubber cultivation, and this pamphlet 
was much in demand. By request I contributed a see 
on Rubber in Malaya for the official catalogue. An in- 
teresting exhibit came from Batu Caves Rubber Co.— ! a 
rubbe^vered board-room table, Mr. Burn-Murdo^ sen 
nice samples of gutta taban— bisemts and sheete, fioi 
the forest department which were novel, and Mr. Mac 
Dougal of Singapore loaned some old Chinese figures made 
of gutta percha. . , . ,. , 
The Netherlands section was the most varied of all and 
although it did not exhibit Para rubber it bypassed all 
other sections in Rambong, and contained samples ot 1 
f tern^er, 
grades and processes shewing the ^y^^fepfesented 
and also gumf and' damars fwmall parts of G-e Nether- 
hfuds The arrangement was tastefully carried out m 
P The Mexican exhibits were very limited. Some fair 
sizedfivingstems of Castilloa were shown, and a laxge lot 
of £ Ghiayule. ’
