British Guiana Exhibition. 275 
Surinam, should be recognized by the appointment of 
these gentlemen as Honorary Members of this Society. 
In conclusion the Committee hope that their efforts to 
render the late Exhibition worthy of this large and im- 
portant Colony will have met with the approval of the 
Society which entrusted them with the task, and if they 
are honoured with that approbation they will feel them- 
selves sufficiently rewarded for their labours.

The Committee now proceed to lay before the Society 
the reports of the Judges and other gentlemen, on the 
several Classes so far as they have been supplied : — 
CLASS I.-=Sugar, Molasses, Bum, &c. 
Seflion A. — Most of the specimens exhibited in this 
section were excellent as far as regards high polarization 
and boldness and regularity of crystal, but only some 
half-dozen could fairly claim to be white sugars. The 
remainder were more or less yellow and, indeed, in some 
cases it seemed that the proper class had been mistaken, 
and that the specimens ought rightly to have been placed 
amongst the B exhibits. Perhaps a point worth bearing 
in mind by future exhibitors is that, other things being 
equal, it is probable that small crystals look whiter and 
polarize higher than large ones.
