and about 200 more species of striking ornamental 
plants and creepers. Among the sweet potatoes intro¬ 
duced from Antigua, four varieties, namely Nos 20, 8, 
27 and 21, have yielded in 5 months about double tlie 
quantity obtained from the local varieties, namely, 
“patate flamand”, “patate 10 jours” and “patate blanc”. 
The following plants were also set out in the New 
Torest ;—

The following lines were followed during the year 
for the working of the New Porest: (1) Maintenance 
and protection of the existing native forests. Nearly the 
whole of the labour force is al^sorl^ed by the patrolling 
of about 2000 acres of land. (2) The open spaces which 
are occupied by the bracken fern (gleichenia dichotoma) 
are being gradually cleared and turned into forest land. 
These ferns are mostly found on abandoned and worn 
out cassava plantations, and owing to the thick covering 
of their roots, prevent trees from spreading by natiwal 
reproduction. Where the laud is poor, the three follow¬ 
ing plants have l)een found to succeed 1)efter than 
Casuarina, which was planted exclusively last year : 
(1) Gliricidia maculata (cuttings). 
(2) Tecoma leucoxylon (cahee du Pape). 
(3) Cocoplum (chrysobolanus icaco). 
These three small trees are extremely hardy, and 
the two last mentioned become establislied in a given 
locality in a short time. 
The use of cocoplum is l^esides to 1)e recommended 
because it stops erosion whilst not preventing the seeds 
of other trees from germinating underneath. It seems 
even possible to reafforest mountain slopes and gorges
