shown is in cases and some in bottles these have 
been separated. For the same reason rum has been 
separated from sugar and molasses, but there appears 
* 
to be no reason why some samples of tea and spices 
should be shown on the opposite side of the room 
to the rest of the specimens of these products. The 
labels are often incomplete and there are frequent 
clerical errors not very important perhaps, but which 
should not be allowed to appear: Province Wellesley, 
for example, generally figures as "Wellesley," one 
sample of wet padi, otherwise undescribed and not 
to be identified in the catalogue, is labelled as 
coming from "Selangor Perak", and "Waterloo Estate" 
is a hitherto unknown member of the Federated 
m 
Malay States. The compiler of the catalogue is 
responsible for the well known Prye Estate in 
Province Wellesley being callea "Prye n River”. 
6 . On comparing the catalogue with the ex¬ 
hibits I found only seven of the varieties of rice 
given on page 1 shown. With the exception of one 
these were all Perak and N* Sembilan exhibits. With 
• • 
one or two exceptions the specimens on pages 2, 3 
and 4 of the catalogue all appear and there are also 
a few exhibits which are not entered in the catalogue. 
All these specimens are exhibited in the husk, the 
only sample of unhusked rice being one of rice dust 
from the Negri Sembilan which is not catalogued. 
Under flour some of the exhibits on page 4 of the
