trees of excellent quality 
having been planted in 
the ground reclaimed 
from mangrove swamps. 
The quality of the cocoa- 
nut produced by the trees 
on Great Coco Island is 
comparatively poor. The 
question of distribution of 
this species is hoped to 
be discussed in a future 
note.

Cultivated largely; not 
seen anywhere as if spon¬

Now a staple crop; along 
with maize in new forest 
clearings, then rather un¬ 
successfully, especially 
during the first season, on 
account of an insect-pest; 
also very largely cultiva¬ 
ted in the reclaimed man¬ 
grove-swamp land, there 
producing heavy crops 
of excellent quality. 
Very common everywhere, 
and still the favourite 
grass.
