Mr, Quelch exhibited some photographs ot the British 
and Venezuelan posts on the Upper Cuyuni, which had 
been kindly lent by Mr. D. Greig, the Post-holder; and 
also some tobacco grown at El Dorado, the Venezuelan 
post, and cured there for cigar making. 
The President said it might be a good thing to send 
the photos to the Illustrated London News^ which had 
published what were called sketches on the Venezuelan 
Frontier, but which consisted of views of streets in 
Georgetown, the Penal Settlement, etc. The tobacco he 
pronounced to be extremely good, with a much finer 
aroma than tobacco grown on the coast. 
On the suggestion of the President, Mr. Quelch was 
instru6led to write to Dr. Morris inviting him to attend 
the Horticultural Show to be held next month. 
The meeting then terminated.
