Agricultural and Commercial Society. 51 
The President promised to bring the matter before 
the next meeting of the Directors ; and remarked that 
since their last meeting the matter of bee-keeping had 
received some attention owing to a letter in one of the 
papers from the Bishop of Guiana. At the next 
meeting, he said, be would bring forward some scheme 
for diffusing information on the subject. In Jamaica 
many farmers derived good incomes from the industry, 
and he could not see why people living in the villages 
here should not also make something in the same 
way. . 
The President also spoke of the arrival of the new 
Curator of the Museum, Mr. Richard Evans, who, he 
was sure, would make a most estimable Curator and be 
of great service to the community. 
The thanks of the Society were accorded for the
