This total number of trees (134,467) shows that 
nearly 800 acres of ground are occupied by Para Blubber 
(170 to the acre). Eor the first time this article appears 
on the list of exports and figures for 132 kilos worth 
lls 800 (declared value). Three estates, namely, Seychel¬ 
les Rubber Cy., Mahe; Cote d’Or, Praslin, and VTiite 
House, Victoria, have started tapping with satisfactory 
results botli with regard to yield and market value of 
biscuits which were reported to be equal to Ceylon 
Rubber. Tapping will be started in 1912 on two other 
large estates possessing 25,000 trees at least, of which 
one quarter have reached a tappable size. 
A remarkable feature of the plantations made in 
1911 is that the plants were practically all issued from 
local seeds, and that in one year quite as many plants 
have been set out as the number of those obtained from 
aljroad for the last eight years. This shows that the 
acreage of rub1)er can be doubled every year.
