“ It is both the duty and interest of every Owner and Cultivator of the Soil to study the best means of rendering that soil subservient to his own and the general wants of the com-' m unity; and he who introduces, beneficially, a new and useful Seed, Plant, or Shrub into his district, is a blessing and an honour to his country.”—S i r J. S i n c l a i r .

T hb object held in view in commencing the “ T r o p i c a l A g r i c u l t u r i s t ” a s a

monthly periodical is sufficiently explained in the Introductory Note to the first Number. We

have merely now, on the completion of the first annual volume, to express our thanks to

the large number of readers and contributors throughout tropical planting lands— East and

West— as well as in Ceylon and Southern India, for the support rendered, and to express the

hone that the second volume and succeeding volumes of this publication may be found even more

generally useful than the one now closed.
