Sir, 
I am in receipt of your letter No.1097/6073 of the 
* • 
11th instant and in reply beg to say that on the 19th October 
last I received thirty - six parcels containing seeds of Para 
* u. 
T 
rubber from the Straits Settlements, and to the best of my 
Knowledge and belief each parcel was addressed "Director Bot¬ 
anical Gardens, Jamaica". 
2. The parcels contained 15,307 rubber seeds, but as 
^ », « 
only 14,700 were charged for I assumed that in accordance with 
the usual practice the 607 not charged for were to make up for 
losses, in any case 607 seeds would not account for the two

missing parcels, as the packages on an average contained near-

ly 500 seeds each. 
I am,

Your obedient Servant,
