The publication' of the present Almanac having been delayed by causes * beyond the control of the Compiler, advantage has been' taken of that circumstance to correct the information given to a later date than could otherwise have been the case, as well as to add several valuable papers

*&a-

to the Appendix.In the Calendar, the Sun’s Declination is given to the nearest minute,

and the Equation of Time to the nearest second. These data appear to the Compiler quite sufficient for the purpose in view, inasmuch as by these means, with the use of a pocket sextant, the time may be readily obtained to within four seconds; and those whose objects require greater accuracy than this, will most probably provide themselves with the Nautical Almanac. To these particulars a column has been added, giving the times of the Moon’s rising in Colombo, which will doubtless be useful to travellers and to residents generally.

The paragraphs respecting the weather have been corrected from observations made in Colombo during the past year under the superintendence of Lieut. Sieve wright, R. A., who kindly furnished tlierequisite information.

In the Statistical part, information respecting the Trade in Salt is now f for the first time given, and this, it is hoped, will compensate, for the omission of a few other items which could not be procured in time for publication. :

• The Map of Jaffna with its accompanying Index, supplied by the Surveyor General, will no doubt be valued by residents in the Northern Province, and all who are interested in properties there. A similar Map of a portion of the Central Province, will probably appear in the Almanac for 18oo.

To Heads of Departments generally, and to all others to whom he applied for information, the Compiler offers his .best thanks for their kind and ready assistance, which has enabled him to issue a volume in no respect inferior, he trusts, to any of its predecessors.

March 4th, 1854.

COLOMBO TIME.

Ceylon being so far towards the East or Sun-rising, it is already mid-day here when it is morning in England. The day here is farther advanced than at Greenwich 5 hours 19 minutes and 33 seconds, which must therefore be added to the time in England to give the time here.

The quantities given under the heads “ Sun’s Declination,” and “ Equation of Time,” are useful inp determining the Latitude, Time, &c., according to the methods described in the various works upon Navigation and Astronomy.

Account of tlje ©alcnUav.TbThe Julian or common civil year* is that which is employed in chronology*

is in effect a solar year, commonly containing a certain number of whole days, tit- odd hours and minutes being set aside to render the computation of time in the comm o concerns of.Ufe more easy, and consists of 305 days or 13 months, 1 day ; or 5 2 vcc*1 day, for three years together; but every fourth year a day (or in the four yea 6 hours for each year) being added to February, it then contains 360 days; this called bissextile or leap year, consequently the mean Julian year, '"ill be 365 day— 6 hours.

The MEAN SOLAR, ASTRONOMICAL, TROPICAL, NATURAL, Or EQUINOCTIAL YEAR true standard of time, and is the period of time in which the earth performs — revolution about the sun, or passes from the first point of /tries to the same fir»- point of Aries again; and has been assumed, according to Bessel (see Connausanc— dcs Temps. 1831, Additions, p. 154.), equal to 365*2-12218 mean solar days—365^ 5/«. 48m. 47*6352$.

Although the Julian method of intercalation' is perhaps the most convenient tha* could be adopted; yet, as the science of astronomy advanced the length of th«= astronomical year was found to be shorter than the Julian correction supposes b;-* Jlm. 12*3648s., it could not, without correction, very long answer the purpose fo< which it was devised, namely, that of preserving always the same interval of tiroe= between the commencement of the year and the equinox, and thus would a degree^ of confusion be introduced into the relative divisions of the year, and be productive of great inconvenience: at length it was discovered that "an error of one day too much would take place in 129 years (for as 1l?». 12 3648$ : I year *;•but in the time of Cscsar the length of the year was an astronomical element ro- very well determined. In the course of a few centuries, however, the equinox sensibly retrograded towards the beginning of the year in consequence of the precession of the equinoxes. When the Julian calendar was introduced, the equinox fell on lu; 25th of March ; at the time of the Council of Nice, which was held rlnno Doiru*- 325, it fell on the 21st of March. This imperfection of the calendar was notices as early as the time of tho Venerable Bede; but the reformation of it did tor. take place till many centuries after: Petrus ab Af/iaco and Cits a, two learned Cardinals, not only pointed out these imperfections to the Councils of Constance ard Lateran, but suggested the means for its correction; and in a. d. 1474, Rtf* Sixtus the JPth engaged Regiomontanus, an eminent.mathematician, in this tas* of reform, though from the circumstance of the death ol Regiomontanus the pr<>- ject was not carried into effect. And when the reformation was made, in 15S-. the equinox had retrograded to the 11th of March; therefore, in order to make the calendar more correct, Rape Gregory the Xlllth invited C/avius and Ciaconiu* the most celebrated astronomers and mathematicians of the age, with others, t< superintend the reconstruction of the calendar: they having found that by til. introduction ol the bissextile days, a difference had arisen of ten days betwce< the calendar and actual time, owing to the odd minutes and seconds which tl bissextile year occasioned the calendar to exceed the true period of the sur* progress, the Pope then issued a brief, in the month of March 1582, in whit he abolished the use of the ancient calendar. And in order to restore the cor mencement ol the year to the same place in tfte seasons that it had occupii at the time of the Council of Nice* Gregory.directed the day following the fW of St. hrancis, that is to say, the 5th of October, to be reckoned the 15th a that month. By this regulation the vernal equinox, which now happened on tb l!th of March, was restored to the 21st. This last amendment of the calendf haring taken place under the direction of Pope Gregory the Xlllth, was, out c respect to him, called the Gregorian or New Style, in opposition to the Julie* or Ohl Sty/c, and has been adopted by almost every Christian nation. Tte Gregorian Style was immediately acceded toby all those parts of Europe-which were under the papal authority, but the Protestants adhered to the Julian Stylt with obstinate pertinacity; and the Protestants of Germany have the credit o! having first rectified such inconsistency, by throwing eleven days out of theii calendar in 1700 ; while it is worthy of remark, that the Russians, regardless o

37Account of the Calendar.1854]propriety, still adhere to the Julian style, and therefore, by another centurial leap- year having occurred, viz. in the year 1800, they now differ from us 12 days in their date of time. Now as the error of the Julian intercalation was found to amount to three days in 400 years, he ordered intercalations to be omitted on all the centenary years, excepting those which arc multiples of 400. According to the Gregorian rule of intercalation, therefore, to know when it is bissextile or leap year, divide the year by 4, and the remainder shews how long it is after leap year; it nothing remains it is leap year, excepting the centurial years, which are only leap years when divisible by 4 after suppressing the two zeros*% Thus 1600 and 2000 are leap years, because 1G and 20 are divisible by 4; but 1700, 1800, and 1 *100 are common years, and so on, because 17, 18. and 19 are not divisible ■by 4, but thes<; would have been leap years by the Julian calendar. As the Gregorian method of intercalation has been adopted *in all Christian countries, Russia excepted, it becomes interesting to examine with what degree of accuracy it reconciles the civil with the solar year; theiefore the only thing in the correction of the calendar that requires a high degree of mathematical science is the determination of the length of the astronomical year ; yet this has never been perfectly ascertained, llatj the mean astronomical year been more accurately determined in the time of Julius Cresar, the Julian correction would, probably, have superseded the necessity of the Gregorian. Although the Gregorian calendar is far preferable to the Julian, yet it is not without its defects (perhaps, as Tycho Brahe and Cassini imagine, it is impossible ever to bring the calendar to a perfect justness). According to the latest determinations of modern astronomy, the mean solar year consists of 3G5 d. 6 A. 48 wi. 47*0352 $., or 365 *242218 d. Now the Gregorian rule gives 97 intercalations in 400 years; 400 years therefore contain 365 x 400 4-97=146097 days, and consequently one year contains 365*2425 days or 3t»5</. oh. 49m. 12$. This exceeds the true solar year by 24*3648 seconds, which amount to a day in 3546 years; for as 24*3618 s. : l year \ : I d. \ x. It is perhaps unnecessary to make any formal provision against an error which can only happen after so long a period of time; but as 3546 differs little from 4000, it has been proposed to cortect the Gregorian rule by making the year 4000 and all its multiples common years. With this correction the rule of intercalation is as follows Every year, the number of which is divisible by 4, is a leap year, excepting the last year of each century, which is a leap year only when the number of the centqry is divisible by 4; but 4000, and its'multiples, S000, 12000, IG000, &c., arc common years- Thus the uniformity of the intercalation by continuing to depend on the number 4, is preserved ; and by adopting the last correction the commencement would not vary more than a day from its present place in 31250 years. For as the Gregorian intercalation gives 97 days in 400 years, consequently in 4000 years 970 days would be intercalated ; but one day is now omitted at the end of every 4000 years, therefore only 969 days are intercalated, consequently the civil year will be 365 </.-{-^'^=365 24225 rf.=365 </. 5h. 48m. 50*4 s.; but this exceeds the mean solar year by 2*7648 seconds, and it would require 31250 years to make the beginning of the civil and tropical year be a day apart, for as 2*7684$. : l year l l l d. I x.

From the year 1582 to 1700 the difference between the old and new style continued to be ten days; but 1700 being a leap year in the Julian calendar, and a common year in the Gregorian, the difference ol the styles during the eighteenth century was 11 days. The year 1-800 was also common in the new calendar, and consequently the difference in the present century is twelve days, and so will continue till the year 1900, and fr<?m 1900 to 2100 will be thirteen days, and at every centesimal year, which is not exactly divisible by 4, will be an increase of one day more, excepting 4000 and its multiples. In Great Britain the alteration from the old to the new style was for a long time successfully opposed by popular prejudice, but the inconvenience had been so generally felt in matters of history and chronology, that at length, in 1751, an Act of Parliament was passed for the adoption of the new style in the year following, iu all public and legal transactions uuder the crown. The difference of the two styles, which then amounted to eleven days, was removed by ordering the day following the 2nd of September of the year 1752 to be accounted the 14tk of that month, whereby that month consisted of only nineteen days : and in order to preserve uniformity in future the Gregorian rule of intercalation respecting the secular years was adopted.

The sidereal or astral year is the time elapsed from the sun’s quitting a particular fixed star to its return to the same fixed star again, and it exceeds the solar year by 20 m. 19*9561 $., making the sidereal year 365 d. 6 h. 9m. 7*5913$.; this difference is called the precession or retrograde motion of the equinoxes, by which

ii

[Part IExplanation of Feasts and Festivals.the fixed stars gain about 50*1 seconds in right ascension every year; consequent'^ the length of a sidereal year can then be determined by no method more otr- vious or more correct than this: —

As 860 deg. 50’i s. ; 365 <1. 5h. 48 m. 47*6352 $. I 360 deg. ] 365 d. 6 h. 9tt*~ 7’5913 s.

The anomalistic year is the interval whch is occupied by the sun in passing from apogee to apogee, or from perigee to ^perigee ; it is greater than the sidcrea- vear by the time required to describe the annual progression of the apogee : no^® the progres,won of the apogee (its increase of longitude) being 11’8 seconds, therefore the anomalistic year is complete when the sun has described 360 deg. 0 m. 118. Hence to find the length of an anomalistic year—

As 360 deg. \ 365 d. 6 h. 9 m, 7*5913 s. 360 deg. 0m. 11*8 s. * -365 d. 6 h. 13 n*54-9263 s. _ •

Therefore the anomalistic year is longer than the sidereal by 4 in. 47’335s., ant* longer than the equinoctial by 25 hi. 7'2911s.

Apparent or true time is that which is denoted by the sun-dial, from the apparent motion of the sun, and differs several minutes in certain parts of the ecliptic frorn the mean time, or that shewn by the clock. The difference is ..called the equation of time and is set down in the almanac in order to ascertain the true time- This irregularity is produced by two principal causes, viz. the obliquity of the ecliptic to the equator, and the eccentricity of the earth’s orbit, and by the small deviations from elliptical motion produced by the moon and planets.

A lunar month or synodic revolution of the moon is the lime between two conse- cutive conjunctions of the moon, called the change or new moon. This period varies considerably, in consequence of the variation of the eccentricity of the moon’s orbit.

A mean lunation is, according to Laplace, 29rf. 12 A. 44 m. 2'8032c., and the excess in each year is 11 days, from which the epact or moon’s age at the commencement of any year may be found; and this is used for finding the moon's age at any time in the year.

A day is that portion of time in which the earth makes one complete revolution on its axis, and is measured by the interval between two successive transits of any fixed star over the same meridian. The civil day is reckoned from one midnight to another, being divided into two periods of hours counted from one to twelve, twice over, among the ancient Egyptians and Romans, with modern English, Dutch, Germans, Spaniards, and Portuguese; but in astronomical calculations, the day is always supposed to begin at noon, and to end at the noon of the following day, the hours being reckoned up to 24. Therefore, if civil timeber.M* it agrees with astronomical time; but if the civil time is a. m., add 12 hours to it. and the sum will be the corresponding astronomical time of the preceding day.

The Hebrew year is reckoned from the Creation, in lunar years consisting of 12 lunar months of 29i days each' and from new moon to new moon. Th Jewish year in general contains 854 days.

The Mahomedan era commences with the introduction of the Mahomedan re ligion by Mahomet, Their year, like that of the Jews, consists generally of 33; 1 days.

The common Chinese year consists of twelve lunar months and their intercalar year has thirteen. Their months have no subdivision, that is, they have no week* Their common way of dating is by the day of the month and the year of tin reigning Emperor. As for example, fifth of the sixth moon in the 12th year o! the Kia-King. .

The moon with which their year commences, is that which falls nearest to the fifteenth degree of dyuarius, corresponding to the 3d or 4th of February.

The Chinese have no particular days for religious worship. Their great festival is the first of the year, on which day they shut up their shops, dress in their best clothes, and pay visits.

by the Greeks in celebration of the completion of the Sun’s annual course, and by the Romans in honor of their god Janus. The Day of Circumcision was instituted in the Christian Church A. D. 487, and introduced into the English Liturgy in 1550 in commemoration of the Circumcision of our Lord Jesus Christ, eight days alter

Epiphany, Twelfth-bay, or Old Christmas Day,—is keptChristendom in commemoration of the manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ upon earth. Antiently it was celebrated as the Feast of the Nativity during twelve days, namely, from Christmas unto the 12th day onwards. The first and last of these days wcrc’denominated the greater and lesser Epiphany. The first, on account of the Lord Jesus having on that day assumed the human, form; and the second, on account of the appearance of the star which conducted the Wise men from the East to Bethlehem, there to worship the infant Saviour.

Candlemas day, Purification of the Virgin Mary,—was antiently called the day of Christ's Presentation; and is still kept as a solemn festival in memorial of the humiliation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who whilst submitting to the Law that enjoined personal purification after childbirth, presented the infant Jesus, in the Temple.

Septijagesima, Sexagesima, Quinquagesima, and Quadragesima Sundays, are so called to signify in even and round numbers, the seventieth, sixtieth, fiftieth, and fortieth day before Easter.

Shrove Tuesday.—This day. preceding the first day of Lent, is so called from the Saxon word Shrive, to confess; because in antient times, on this day, every person in England was obliged to confess to his own parish priest in his own parish church.

Asu Wednesday, the First day of Lent.—Originally so called from the custom that prevailed of penitents, when admitted to the Church to express humiliation on account of their sins, appearing clothed in sackcloth, and having wishes sprinkled on their heads.

Lent, signifies spring. The forty days before Easter, therefore, being observed by Christians as days of humiliation, fasting and prayer, were dalled the Spring, or Lenten Fast.

Lady Day,—is celebrated throughout the Christian world under the title of The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the day on which Almighty God sent the Angel Gabriel to announce to her the fulfilment in her person of the prophecies that foretelling the wondrous scheme of salvation, declared a Virgin should conceive * and bear a Son, &c.—(See Gen. jii. 15 : Is. vii. 14; ix. G: Mic. v. 2, &c.)—Lady day is also in civil calculation, the 1st of the four quarter-days, as they are called, of the year.

Palm Sunday.—The Sunday before Easter, commemorated throughout the Christian Church, as the anniversary of our Saviour’s last entry into Jerusalem, when the people took branches of Palm, and went forth to meet him and cried, llosanna: blessed is the King of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord. This day is also called Passion Sunday, as the first day of the Passion week.

Good Friday, called also Holy Friday; is the day which from the earliest period in the Christian Church has ever been kept in solemn awful remembrance of the Crucifixion of our blessed Lord t?nd Saviour Jesus Christ.

Easter Sunday.—The day on which the Lord Christ rose triumphant from the grave; and since then ever kept throughout all Chri*cndom as a Great Dag, a Feast of Feasts; and a Sunday of Joy. In secular transactions it is the most important of all the moveable feasts, as the day on which it falls regulates all the rest.

Rogation Sunday,—the fifth Sunday after Easter, takes its name from the Latin • word rogarc, to beseech; the early Christians having appointed extraordinary prayers

ar.d supplications ou the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday succeeding it.Holy Thursday or Ascension Day, is the day on which the Church

These will probably continue to be used in practice. For Wine and Spirits, there arc the Anker, 10, Runlet, 18, Barrel, 31], Tierce, 42, Hogshead, 63, Puncheon,84, Pipe or Butt, 12G,and Tun, 252 Gallons; but these may be considered rather as the names of the casks in which such commodities are imported, than as expressing any definite number of Gallons : a Pipe of Claret containing 128 Port, 138; Sherry, 130; Lisbon, 14U; Bucellas, 140; Madeira, 110; and Vidonia, 120 Gallons.

Division II.—Troy Weight-

24 Grains20 Pennywts. = 1 Ounce12 Ounces

These are the denominations of Troy weight, when used for weighing gold, silvfi’*’* and piecious stones (except diamonds.)

For scientific purposes the grain only is used ; and sets of weights are in decimal progressions from 1U,000 grains downwards to 1-100 of a grain.

By comparing the number of grains in the Avoirdupois and Troy pound ounce respectively, it appears that the Troy pound is less than the Avoirdup in the proportion of 14 to 17 nearly; but the#Troy ounce is greater than Avoirdupois, in the proportion of 72 to 79 nearly,

used for weighing diamonds, is 3 l -6 grains."^ The term, however, ^ used to express the fineness of gold, has a relative meaning only. Every of alloyed gold is supposed to be divided into 24 equal parts; thus ^ie,sLand

coin is 22 carats fine, that is, it consists of 22 parts of pure gold, and - Pj* of alloy. What is called the ncro standard, used’ for watch-cases, &c., is IS Ci1 ^ fine.

VARIATIONS OF TEMPERATURE CORRESPONDING TO

ALTITUDE.

As we ascend. Ihe air becomes thin or rare, and as it becomes-rare it also grows cold. No fact is better established than this, though, the rate of this cooling of the air as we ascend in it dues not appear to be uniform, but to vary in different countries and even in the same country at different seasons. Were we to go by local data we might calculate it thus. The annual temperature of Colombo is probably about bt)° 5; that of Kandy is about 74 ° 5 ; and that of Nuweia Ellia at an elevation of 6,2 iu ft: is about 59° ; giving a fall of one degree for every 280 ft: in the former case, and for every 295 ft. in the latter ; results which accord very well with observations made elsewhere, and particularly with those which may be deduced from the other sanataria of India.

[Part It-Regulations of Board of Health.84

Native Vaccinators.—Native Vaccinators shall make themselves practically acquainted with the different matters connected with Vaccination, by embracing; all opportunities for instruction and improvement. The Medical Sub-Assistants under whose direction they are employed, shall report periodically upon their general usefulness, diligence and activity, to the Superintendent of Vaccination. They shall vaccinate four days in each week. They shall forward to the Medical Sub-Assistant of their district, or to the Superintendent of Vaccination, where no Medical Sub-Assistant is employed on sucH duties, a wceklyhiumerical return in the same form as that prescribed for the Medical Sub-Assistants. They shall have one or more. Vaccine stations in a village, according to its extent, and shall use their best exertions to promote efficient Vaccination by uniform kindness of manner, by great care in the performance of their duties, atfd by exhorting* the patients to protect the vesicles throughout all stages, so that crusts may be properly- formed. At the end of the month the Native Vaccinators shall furnish the Medical Sub-Assistant or Superintendent of Vaccination with a nominal return of Vaccination» in the same form as that prescribed for the Medical Sub - Assistant.

RULES FOR VACCINATING.1st.—All persons who have not been satisfactorily vaccinated or had the Small Pox

are liable to the most severe form of that disease. The protection of all such person® by efficient Vaccination is the object now earnestly desired.

2nd.—If a healthy child be properly vaccinated, by punctureat 8 o’clock on Monday* at the same hour cn the following Monday the vehicles will be of a circular formant pearly appearance, well raised from the surface, with a flat top, not a pointed one, and with very little surrounding inflammation. Such a chi/d, although liable to Small PoSO before, is now safe,• and such a case should be invariably chosen from which to vaccinate others.

3rd.—Four small punctures should be made, care being taken that the lymph is inserted under the thin skin.

4th. —The patients and their friends must be urged not to allow the vesicles to be rubbed at any time, so that they may dry and fall oil' of themselves.

'hh. Punctuality ol attendance is essential, to avoid disappointment to patients, and to enable you to judge of the. success of your efforts.

6.h. Efficient, Vaccination leaves on the arm a distinct though superficial scar, which looks as it pins had been stuck into it. If there are not at least three such marks, or ilseven years have passed since the last Vaccination, the person should be re-vaccinated •

and in the same ratio with reference to longer or shorter service.2. Should the term of service not warrant the assignment of an annual

allowance, a gratuity may be granted after the rate of one month’s salary for each year of service.

3. The apportioned rates above-mentioned, giving the maximum allowance for the last year of each period to which the scales of the Minutes are adapted, are however only to be granted in cases of decidedly faithful and meritorious service; but where the testimony as to fidelity., diligence and merit, is in any respect defective, a deduction will be made from the apportioned rate, either of one-fifth or of greater or less amount ; or the grant of allowance will be altogether withheld, where there has been obvious negligence, irregularity or misconduct.

4. But in cases of special merit, it will remain open to Her Majesty’s Government to award the maximum allowance warranted by the scales of the Minutes to the shortest-terms of service, or to give such extraordinary recompense as they may

•deem expedient.5. The services in respect of which superannuations are granted, ought in all

cases to have been continuous, unless interrupted by reduction of office, or .other temporary suspension of employment, not arising from misconduct, or voluntary resignation of the party.

G. In case of suspension of employment on reduction or abolition of office, temporary allowances may be assigned according to the above rules; on condition however that the parties receiving the same will be liable to be recalled into service, and with the understanding that they arc to be rc.employed as opportunity may-oiler, in preference to new applicants for office.

The Society for. the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was incorporated by Royal Charter, in the reign of King- William III. A. D. 1701, for receiving, managing and disposing of such funds as might be contributed for the religious instruction of His Majesty’s Christian subjects beyond the seas; lor maintaining Clergymen in the British Colonies, Plantations and" Factories; and for the general Propagation of the Gospel. It has been engaged in its appointed sphere of duty for upwards of 150 years; and during a whole century it was the only Missionary Society in connection will' the Church oi England. In regard to its constitution, it is under the immediate controul of the Bishops of the United Church, and-is uniformly conducted on Church principles.

The Society has at present in its employment, Missionaries in the four grand divisions of the British Empire, viz, North America, West Indies, East India and Australia; and tire whole number on its List amounts to 389, besides 300 Catechists and Schoolmasters; independently of all which its funds are made available, for supporting Colleges and building Churches and Schools. It was in 1818 that the Society extended its operations to the East. Here it has more than 50 Missionaries in its service. It has, moreover, established a College at Calcutta, called Bishop's College, for the education of an indigenous Clergy, and the diffusion of sound and uselul knowledge; and Grammar Schools at Madras for the instruction of the middle and lower classes.

jftlcBtral anij ~uigtcal pint's.ACCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES IN THE JUNG EE.

Thesis hints and instructions are intended to meet the emergencies of the far-o/3 ■world, where a case maybe urgent, and the doctor beyond reach. It cannot be u>c earnestly insisted on that the first best thing to be done when an accident has liappeterti is to send away at once for the doctor: if much time must elapse before he can tv brought to the spot, or if his assistance cannot be obtained, the next best course to p* adopted shall be set forth in these pages, as shortly and intelligibly as possible. Ilapp** for mankind, ordinary accidents require little more from the tenderness and intelligent* of others, than the obvious suggestions of good sense, aiding the opefat|0 - of nature, and committing to her the wonderful process of restoration, which * our encouragement, is often seen equal to the necessity of the case, and bringing abo a perfect cure or a well-adapted compensation.

We shall treat in due order of Bruises, Sprains, Wounds, Bleeding, Scalds and Broken Bones, Dislocations, Drowning, &c., Sundry Ailments, Useful Medicaments.

Bruises.—The best application for a bruise.be it large or small, is moist warmtli therefore a warm bread and water poultice, or hot moist flannels should be put on. «* they supple the skin, so that it yields to the pressure of the blood beneath, and the re o the pain is lessened. If the bruise be severe and in the neighbourhood of a joint, it *

- well to apply some leeches on grown-up persons, but not on young children, because tli' bleeding may be continued to a very serious extent, Tenor a dozen should be spr«rs< over the whole bruised surface, and afterwards a poultice, or flannels should be applre* to bo continued so long as pain and swelling remain. If the bruise be on a jo\r*| the poulticing will often require to be long continued, on account of the stiffness wine 1 may attend it, and when left off, it is advisable to wrap up the joint in a soap pla=tea

Be cautious about the knee or ancle, because too early use of these parts attc injury often lays the foundation lor serious mischief, and in scrofulous persons, especial I those who are young, may run on to the loss of a limb.

Burn:

Sprains—It is worse to sprain a joint than to break a limb; and sprains are anion the most severe accidents to which we are liable, not only in present suffering, be in their results. In general, the treatment of a sprain is to be conducted as a brui~ = with perfect rest; and if it bo a knee or ankle, the person should lie on bed or on sofa. Warm, moist flannels, a bread and water poultice an going to bed. and if tV pain and swelling be considerable, leeches. When the tenderness is subsiding, and on a little pain and stiffness in the joint remain, a vinegar poultice is a very good applio; tion, as it produces a diversion of the low inflammation going on in the ligaments. _fc bringing out a crop of pustules on the skin, at a time when the pressure in rubb»ii with any stimulating liniment cannot be borne. Beware of too early use of a sprain# joint, which often swells a long time alter the injury ; in which case it may be bou- with straps of soap plaster, or a t oller.

Wounds,—Cuts or chops, if they be. not largo, and have not divided any imports parts, are the most siriiple and managable wounds, A large piece of flesh, even a fi«^

toe, may be cut or chopped oft’, and the wound- heal kindly and readily under per treatment. But, occasionally, a very trifling and simple cut. in an irritable or t temperate person, will prove fatal from locked-jaw. If a cut or chop be not very and if it do not bleed much, or even if it do bleed, but the bleeding can be staunched- batlung for a short time with cold water, it is generally of not much consequence. *r- can be east y and simply treated. The corresponding edges of the wound are to fc brought together as perfectly as possible, and while thus held, some strips of

This generally gives instant relief, and the dressing requires no further meddling with. It is always better to leave the dressing as long as it remains fast, and without pain, usually three, four, or live days, and if

# then taken oil', either the whole, or the greater part of the wound will found united.But if the wound, or its neighbourhood, become painful, and throb, the dressing

must be removed, which'is best done by soaking in water of an agreeable warmth, or bv covering with a wet poultice, which after a few hours softens the dressing, so that it can be easily removed. If the wound he not inflamed, that is, red and tender, and if the discharge from it be good, that is. straw-coloured, and of a creamy consistence, the dressing may be re-applied; but if the edges be red and inflamed, or if they he pale and flabby, if the wound gape, if the matter be watery and stinking, then a single strap or band is to be applied to keep the edges near together, and the part must be covered with a poultice till the pain and inflammation cease, and the matter be of a good kind. Do not mess a wound with Friar’s balsam, Tincture of benjamin, or such nostrums, as 4hev hinder rather than encourage its union; and for the same icason, use no greasy applications.

si c/can slab, if of depth, although it should not cause any serious mischief, generally docs not heal so readily as a cut. because it often unites near the surface, whilst its bottom lodges matter; and therefore, although for some days it may seem to heal very steadily, yet then it becomes painful, the wound opens, a gush of matter follows, and*this may be repeated once or twice before the cure is completed.

A bruised cut, is to be treated by endeavouring to unite the edges by sticking-plaster as in a clean cut; but if there be much bruising, the part destroyed must separate and be thrown off before the wound can heal. Apply a bread and water poultice first to moderate the inflammation; and as soon as matter begins to form, and the extent of the’slough is marked, which is shewn by the dropping in of the dead part, with a

. narrow raw line between it and the living ; then change it fora liuseed-meal poultice, which is to he continued till the slough is come out, and the gap is filled up with new flesh. When the new flesh gets above the edges of the wound, it is commonly known as proud Jlesh, and wrongly supposed to prevent the healing of the wound, for it is in reality the material which is produced for that purpose. When the hollow of the wound has thus filled, the poultice may be left off, and the sore lightly bound with straps of sticking-plaster, or a linen bandage moistened with cold water, and carried a few turns round, will often answer the same purpose. If the new flesh rise much above the wound, it must cither he kept down by pressure, or it may be brushed lightly over with a bit of blucstone or blue vitriol; and sometimes merely a bit of dry lint will suffice.

i

Bleeding—From a wound may generally be stopped by pressure;—if in the arm, near the arm-pit, let a by-stander press his thumb firmly into the neck, behind the middle of the collar bone; if in the thigh, the pressure is made immediately below the crease in the groin, the patient lying on his back. When the injury is below the middle of the upper arm, or below the middle of the thigh, recourse may be had to the stick-tournaquot, by passing a stout handkerchief once or twice round the limb, some distance, if possible, above the wound, and tied tightly and firmly. A piece of tough stick is then pushed beneatbfthc circular bandage thus formed, between it and the skin; and twisted till the blood ceases to flow. The screwing should only be continued till the bleeding stop ; for,if the bandage and stick be strong, and the twisting • be continued, thv soft parts beneath may be severely and unnecessarily bruised.

Scalds and Burns—Require, great promptitude and presence of mind. Be quick in removing the sufferer from the fire or hot water, and let him be put to bed immediately ; cut the clothing off in pieces, and with much caution, as under rough handling the blistered or burnt skin may be torn off with it, and the accident rendered much more dangerous and difficult to treat. Remember, that as it is always hoped the scald or burn is confined to inflaming or blistering the skin, it is of the utmost consequence not to burst the blister by tearing the skin, nor to let out the water it contains by pricking it. If the skin be unbroken, dry or wet applications, as they are most handy, may be used; but if the skin be broken, wet applications, it they can be g0t at once, are best—otherwise dry ones must be used, the object being to pro ec the exposed sensitive true skin that lies beneath the scarf skin, of winch the Diis consists, from the air, which renders it excessively painful. . *

The best and readiest dry materials are fl<iur or cotton, or cotton wadding, pre, spirits of turpentine, spirits of wine or good brandy, lime water and •[ ust be and milk,milk alone, or bread and milk poultice; and these wet app i rjour is ipade of sufficient warmth to feel comfortable to the finger, but no •

best dusted on with a dredger, and should be thickly strewed over the injured part and some little distance beyond it. A cambric or thin linen handkerchief well floured, should be wrapped round it. Cotton should be carefully pulled, so as to be free from lumps or knots, but cotton-wadding is better; the unglazed side should be put next to the skin, in three or four thicknesses, and the whole confined with a roller.^ Spirits of turpentine, or of wine, or any other spirits, heated by placing in a cup-fullor 'varm water which the finger can bear, must be gently smeared oyer with a broad web of a feather, or a large camel’s hair brush ; this should be continued ten or fifteen minutes, after'which, lint or soft linen thickly spread with a liniment of spirits of terpentine and yellow basilicon, should be applied and confined with a roller; the dressing should not be removed for twenty-four hours; then the part washed over witn proof spirit, and the liniment as before re-applied immediately. The third dressing, twenty-four hours after, should have the liniment composed,of the basilicon and camphorated oil; or, if this should be too sharp, calamine or zinc ointment, thickly spread on linen, may be applied and continued. This is known as Kentish’s treatment, ana is much practised in the. coal districts.

If the scald or burn be very extensive, lime water and linseed oil. tea most excellent application. One part of lime water must be mixed with two parts of oil, and stirred round quickly with the hand ; into this a sheet or large piece of linen is plunged and thoroughly soaked, their wrung out lightly, and quickly wrapped round the limb or body. Lime water and milk in equal proportions, or the milk alone, may be used in like .manner- Bread and milk poultice, thinly spread, is also a very good application, and in burns, where the skin has been much charred or roasted, it is the best application from the beginning.

In about forty hours, if the blister look as if its contents jvere milky with a red line of inflammation round its edge, the water must be let out with a point ol a large needle,or three or four snips with the scissors; it should then be pressed down wita a wad of lint, with a dressing of simple wax and oil.

When the true skin has been destroyed, a linseed poultice must be applied and continued till the dead part or slough come away: this must then be dressed with-calamine or zinc cerate, and rolled; or it may be protected by sifting flour, or starch, powdered chalk, or calamine powder, repeated two or three times a day, if need be, till a thick crust be formed.

Burns with lime must be treated with vinegar, which converts it into a harmless substance, and then a poultice or a dressing of ointment and a roller must be resorted to. Quicklime in the eye must be washed with vinegar and water; inflammation is sure to follow, and leeches may bs applied, and diligent bathing with warm poppy water or simple warm water; a smart purge must also be given.

Broken Bones—With a broken arm,’ the least painful method is to put the fore-arm at a right angle with the upper in a broad sling, which will contain it from the elbow to the points of the fingers ; walking will be attended with less pain than being moved in a carriage of any kind. For a broken leg or thigh : a hurdle, a door, or a shutter, covered with straw, coals, or blankets, should be laid by the patient’s side, and he gently lifted upon it; let the sound limb be brought close to the broken one, and tie them both firmly together with two or three handkerchiefs, and place a pad of long straw along' the outside of the limb to keep it steady ; take care to lay the broken bone as near as possible in its natural direction, and remember; that if by careless or rough handling an end of the broken bone be thrust through the skin, the mischief is seriously augmented. Broken limbs should not beset, that is, bound up with.roller, splints, and pads, for the first three or four days, as, for some hours, the part continues swelling; at first, then, lay the broken bone in as comfortable a posture as possible, and as nearly as can be V1 u!.!,?“IUraud,ruCt,0n’ "llh PerliaPs a single splint, lightly bound, to keep it steady, i ar"b°ne> or broken ribs, however, requiie immediate attention ; thi»chest be felt nnd *}* evci7 breathing, a stitch or prick in the side of tbslv theend«nf the i,nn° P*accd on this part, and the breath be drawn in deep-f«P VSannd or Hnon f£U m°vi"E °" «<* other and giving a sort of cracklingbe wound tisrlitlv round thj It a^outslx Jartls tong and two Imnds-breadth wide, must which must be performed by the mid.’iralone'’'this"/ .of.th,> ril? breathingwill suffice.

The hand and arm are to be lightly swathed in a roller, .the turns of which should over-lap each other,and be continued a little above the elbow ; and then a long roller well soaked in gum water or stiff starch may be swathed round the upper arm, from the elbow to the armpit. The limb must then be laid carefully on a pillow, in, as nearly as possible, its natural position; rnd in the course of a few hours the gum or starch dries, and a tough, unyielding, well-fitting case encloses the arm and rarely requires being meddled with till it be removed at the end of a month.

An arm broken below the elbow, if but one of the bones be broken, may be treated in the same way. If both bones be broken, two padded splints ore required, extending from the tips of the fingers to the bend of the elbow in front, and to the point ol the elbow behind. The lore-arm is now bent on the elbow ; the splints applied, one before, the other behind, and both bound firmly-to it with a roller. Irom the fingers up to the bend of the elbow. The arm then resting on its back is to be put into a sling; and the splints must be kept on a month.

A broken leg. in most cases, can be managed easily and well by merely rolling it, from the middle qf the foot to the knee, in a long bandage, well soaked jn thick starch or gum water, which is preferable. The limb is then laid on its outside upon a smooth pillow, and little further remains to be done till the end of the month, w hen it may be removed.

A brokes ‘high, though a much more serious accident than any yet mentioned, may be managed *'vite as easily, and. in many cases, if the person w ill be quiet, without any splints, although it is better to use them. The patient must be placed on bis back upo.n a firm mattrass, laid on a board resting on the bed frame, as the sacking sinks with the weight of the body resting on it for some weeks. Two thick.pads are to be made, one to cover the whole of the inside of the sound knee; the other, the inside of the ankle of the same limb. Both limbs must now be laid close together, in the same dgstraight line as the body, resting on the heels, with the toes right upwards, and the calves fiat on the mattrass. Thus far done, the body must be kept immoveable by one person, who grasps the hips with his two hands. A second person then takes hold of the broken

• limb with both hands, just above the ankle, and gently and steadily draws it down with- . out disturbing its position, whilst a third places- the knee-pad between the two knees, and the ankle-pad between the ankle. The gentle pulling being continued, the sound knee is brought close to that of the broken limb, but a little above it, so that it rests against the jutting inside of the joint, and then, both being kept close together, a pad, about as broad as the hand, must be turned roundj)Oth legs, directly below both knees, and around this a roller, abut three yards long, imAybe tenderly, carefully, and tightly wound, so as to prevent one knee slipping from theTnuer. Both ankles are next to be tied together in like manner, care being taken that that of the sound is above thatof the broken limb.A small pad is now to be put between the insides of both feet, and this completes the whole business; which, however simple, has been attended with as many good cures as under the more difiicult and complicated treatment.

Broken bones with wounds of the soft parts running down to them, or compound fractures, are very serious accidents, and are dangerous in proportion to the size of the wound, and the tearing and bruising of the soft parts'. \Y here medical assistance cannot be obtained, the great object in the treatment is to make the case a simple fracture, by healing the wound as quickly as possible, which should be attempted by uniting the edges of the wound by bringing them lightly together with strips of sticking plaster, and the limb should he covered with a light, cold, wet linen cloth, repeatedly moistened by squeezing a wet sponge over i?. If, happily, the wound heal soon, much of the dreaded danger ceases, and after a few days the accident is to be treated precisely as if there had been no wound.

Dislocation of the arm into the arm-pit mav be thus reduced.—Let the patient and the person who is to pull the arm into place, both lie dow n on the floor on their backs, side

- by side, but in contrary directions. The operator then places a towel into the patient’s arm-pit on which he plants his naked foot between the chest and the arm, using the right foot or the left,, as the right or left shoulder is displaced. He then grasps the patients wrist with both hands, and pulls the arm down steadily:at the same time he tells the patient to make some little change in his position ; and thus inducing him to call some other muscles into motion, the resistance is for a moment suspended, and at that moment the operator pulls a little more vigorously, and generally the bone returns to its socket with a more or less loud snap.

Pthe head a little higher than the trunk; if a house be near, let him be carr,.‘I all expedition, stripped, and placed between the blankets, which may have f .w hilst stripping the body.

CURE FOR SNAKE BITES.The following method of treatment for the Bites of Snakes, Scorpions, Centipede*-,

and other venomous creatures, has been extracted from the Sydney Morning lltratd9 and it has been considered advisable to adopt it without alteration, in justice to the subject and the writer.

Ipecacuanha, a Cure for Venomous Bites.—'You will oblige me by inserting the accompanying two cases, the result ol the successful application of ipecacuanha, to tlie bites of venomous animals. One of my servants while”bathing, felt something run intc | bis foot, and on putting his hand into the water ro ascertain what it was, received * similar injury on that member, but lie.succeedcd in seizing the animal, which proves to be a fish about four inches long, armed with two processes of bone close to the abdo- minal fin. The natives call the fish Singhee.— 1 saw the man an hour after the receipt of the wounds; lie then complained of severe headache, had a hot skin, and general lever; the hand and arm, also the log and foot, were very much swollen, and excessively painful, the pain shooting upw ards; the lids of both eyes weie also very much swollen,1 mixed the ipecacuanha powder w ith water to the consistence of mustard, and applied it to the injured parts; in two minutes the pain had ceased, in an hour after the fever had left him, and in the course of two days the swelling in all the parts had entirely subsided.

induced to try the above remedy from having applied it with invariable success in several cases in the bite of the centipede. I was indebted to this hint to one of your correspondents, some three years ago, who wrote of the success that had invariable attended the application of ipecacuanha-.to the bites of the centipede. The second case was that of a palkee bearer, who was bitten on the right foot hv n. snake • but. owing to its being at night, the animal escaped. When I saw him, sometime after (be receipt of the injury, he complained of T|lj^ heavy, and a gnawing V''*1

throughout the whole of the limb : it was cold to the touch, and swollen. The man was sufi'ering from great depression of the vital powers, and prostration of strength. I gave him a tablcspoonful of sal volatile in a little water; and on examining the foot, discovered the two punctures where the fangs had entered. I scarified the part freely, and put the whole of the foot into hot water, but it did not bleed freely, 1 therefore applied the cupping glasses to the calf of the login two places. In a quartcrof an hour I gave him another tablespoonful of sal volatile, still keeping the foot in hot water; the heaviness of the leg was less, hut the gnawing sensation continued. Three-quarters ol an hour after 1 first saw him 1 applied the ipecacuanha paste; in less than five minutes the man told me his foot was quite light, and then the gnawing pain had entirely left it. T he man remained in my verandah two hours, and had*not any return of pain; he then went to his house in the neighbourhood, and the following day I heard he was free from pain, but that the leg was still swollen. For three days he applied goulard water, and in ten days came and made me a salaam, perfectly well. The scarifications had not quite healed, but the leg was of the natural size. 11. .1.

SNAKE BITES.To the Editors of the Sydney Morning Ilcrahl.

Gentlemen,—The kindness and humanity with which you some months since made room for a communication recommendatory of the powder of ipecacuanha as a remedy for the bites of snakes, centipedes, and other venomous animals, lead me once more to request a corner for a further paragraph on the same topic. My former paper was simply a copy of a letter from the Government Medical Officer at Hongkong. Mr. Thornton, detailing with great clearness the curative effects of a simple poultice of the powder of ipecacuanha applied to wounds of the ahove description.

The account appeared to me so satisfactory, as to lead me to resolve to seize the first opportunity of testing the efficacy of the drug. No such occasion, however, presented itself until last Saturday, when an industrious neighbour was bitten in the foot while collecting wood in the adjoining bush. She returned home with her leg swollen to an extraordinary size, and suffering such an excruciating pain as to be prevented from attending her ordinary avocations. I did not hear of the accident till Monday, when, on inquiry, finding that the symptons were in nowise abated, and that no medical assistance had been called in, a quantity of powder was sent for. and applied by an intelligent persoa in the form ol a poultice, as directed by Mr. Thornton. OnTuesday morning theswclling had in a great measure subsided, the pain had ceased, and she was able to resume her usual work, and on Wednesday she was well. •

The favourable impressions made by Mr. Thornton’s letter were greatly confirmed bv this case, and I think it ought to he generally known for the comfort and information of all who are exposed to such accidents, who are not a few. It will be generally a matter of difficulty to ascertain the character of the reptile inflicting the wound, as it is very likely to escape without detection ; but if the drug shall be found deserving of the good character it has acquired in Hongkong, and which I am venturing to lay some claim for it here, it has the recommendation of being (as it is stated) effectual in the attacks of all the venomous creatures w itli which our hush is infested, and which add so materially to the hazards to which infant life i« especially exposed, even in our cottage gardens and grounds.

It may be used in the simple form of a poultice, made without a moment’s delay, and without "the demand of any skill on the part of the person applying it; and moreover it does not interfere with or supersede any more scientific applications which may be adopted where medical assistance can he procured ; but it appears to he capable of very salutary application when that assistance is at a distance or unattainable.

Since writing the above, another case of a snake bite has occurred, in which the wound, was subjected to medical treatment with a successful result; the powder was also ap-

, plied, but it would be impossible to say whether any share in the cure could be ascribed to ir.. * beg to add, that I am a mere reporter of facts; not having the honor of any profes-

1834] 163Medical and Surgical Hints. DYSENTERY.

The following letter Iron Dr. Maxwell, Garrison Surgeon of Trichinopoly, is republished from the Examiner, into whose columns it was copied from the Madras Spectator.

Alter alluding to a report of his own death, the writer says: “ Several other deaths of old friends reported at the same lime in the papers. 1 would fain hope may turn out as unfounded as my own,—but I fear this is a vain aspiration; they x^ust be toa true, especially those" in Ceylon, where it is reported Dysentery is making sad work amongst the European residents three of whom have alicady died in the Central Provinco. What can be the cause of this unprecedented, aud almost constantly recurring mortality from that disease in Ceylon ? Is it exposure or neglect, or the absence of Medical assistance, or what ?

1 consider Dysentery very easily cured, if treated in time. I have seen much of it amongst all classes of men. Endemic dysentery and fever I consider one arid the samo . disease, as Sydenham did long ago. 1 treat them both on the same principle and with the same medicines: and if the disease is treated in the same way in Ceylon, then I can only say it must be a fearful form of that scourge indeed, w hich appears to baflle medical skill.

I have been lately treating, agd am at this moment, treating cases of that disease of the worst descriptio.n.

The result of my experience I was at the very time sending, and am still sending, to Europe ; when my death however was reported, and my attention diverted to its contradiction. It occurred to me that 1 could not do better than publish here also, the results of my experience: both as the shortest way ol shewing that I was not only not dead, but even not asleep, as well as that it would prove of the greatest benefit and assistance to the poor sufferers in Ceylon.

My experience, then, in “Endemic Dysentery,” may be considered as condensed in the following case, which occurred only a lew days ago. G. C. age 30—was in good health up to yesterday morning, since which he has been constantly purged, with griping and straining and passing of blood and mucus and fluid, like the washings of meat— cannot assign any cause.

The dose was repeated.The diet was'chicken broth.The drink lemonade.

In the morning the motions were nearly natural.The dose was repeated.

N. B. In cases still more severe and rapid, the above draught must be repeated oftener, according to the urgency of the case. The poor and those who cannot get quinine^ must treat themselves, or be treated, in the manner 1 have related.

My friends must consider themselves indebted to you, for their having thus quickly received the above information through your Journal, instead of via Europe;. and I cannot do less, in their behalf, than beg your acceptance of my works on these diseases published in 1838. Not that you mqy offer remarks on them, which they dont require, and 1 would rather not, but thatayou may have them for reference or for a knowledge of what has been written. They must, like all other works, contain numerous errors; but the structure remains—I mean that my views and treatment have not changed. Should any of my friends or any one else wish for further particulars on this head, I shall be most happy to afford it either by letter or through the medium ol'vour paper, if you will afford it a place.

I may also take this opportunity of making my friends acquainted with a valuable remedy, I am now using ini new' and

Bereheri and Dropsy, viz. Phosphorus.The effect of it is rapid and surprising. Repeated and copious flows of urine take place,

and the dropsical symptoms soon give way; the patient sleeps withoot dread of suffoca- convalescence is rapid. Had I thought of trying th#substance years ago in

1 now publish it for the benefit of all. that they, like myself, may not continue for yea r= 'in ignorance of its wonderful powers.

I give it in £ to 4 and one grain doses morning and evening, or oftener.A case of dropsy for instance,came to me from a village HO miles oir, the day before

yesterday; yesterday, after the phosphorus, a pint of urine was passed in the night ; fo* last six months scarcely an ounce had ever been passed. Il it acts thus in chronic organs c-

cases, like this, how much more in recent cases, as I have witnessed, where the urine wa s increased by it from one pint to thirty in the 24 hours.

I now beg’ in conclusion for the present to draw the attention of my friends, to anotbsT" new remedy I am using, viz.

Margos a on Neem oil, in Consumption and Scropiiula.Aware of the high estimation Cod liver oil is held in in Europe for the cure of Consump”

tion ; and as I consider Scropiiula and Consumption closely allied, and as I had many1 cases ol the latter that resisted every treatment, and one of Consumption that was gettir*^": daily worse, I thought ol trying some native Oil, that was cheap and easi/y procurab1em and I made trial of 1

Marcos a or Neem oil, melia azadi-rachta. •I began with ounce doses morning and evening, then reduced the quantity to

:} ounce, then to one drachm once a day. The result exceeded my expectations.The Consumptive case was soon able to walk about. The foul discharging ulcers ot

the Scrophulous cases assumed a healthy appearance, and the discharges ceased;anti they all appeared eager to take the remedy.

It is scarcely a fortnight since I commenced this remedy.Another consumptive case applied this day and the Temedy was commenced.Further trial and experience, as to complete cure, are of course necessary, but, cr en

thus far, it is worthy of the most attentive consideration.I feel I cannot conclude without drawing attention to one other disease, one. of tn^

must dreadful to which mankind are subject, and which has lately come under my treatment.Epilepsy.

One of the severest cases I ever witnessed, occurred in my practice here the other day. His first attack, six months previously, lasted three days.

I saw him an hour after this present attack ; "every 5 or 10 minutes he was thrown into the most violent contractions.

I was informed he would remain three days in this state, perfectly insensible.This did not, of course, deter me from trying what I could do.I tried blisters (that is the quick blistering liquid) to the temples, and head, also over/

the heart and stomach.I then gave powerful emetics of different kinds. In the act of vomiting, I thought .

patient would be sufTocated. I then tried powerful aperients.The dashing of cold water was frequently tried ; but all failed. Several other minor

remedies were triod. 'now almost, as a forlorn hope, gave

PORT OF COLOMBO.

TWs part of the Coast of Ceylon is low, with some isolated hills" at a distance in the country. On the northern side of the Town of Colombo the ground rises a little, and is covered with lofty Cocoanut and other trees, which are generally seen coming from seaward before the Light house or Flag Staff.

The high mountain having on it a sharp cone, called Adams Peak, bears fiom Colombo E. i S. distant -16 miles. It rises 7.420 feet above the level of the sea, and in clear" weather has been seen at the distance of 30 league* In the N.E. monsoon., it is generally visible in the morning, and sometmes throughout the day: but it is rarely seen in the S. VV. monsoon through the humid atmosphere which prevails in that season.

A brilliant light is exhibited every night from a Lighthouse near the Flag Staff of the Fort. The height oi the light above the sea is 97 feet, and it may be seen in clear weather until intercepted by the hori/.on. It is in latitude 6&56/6,/ North, ancf in longtitude 79° 49' 48" East. m

About 7 miles off shore there is a steep bank of coral and sand with 15 fathoms of water over it. It is not more than half a mile broad, but extends several miles in the direction of the coast. About two miles to the westward of the banks soundings are obtained in 28 fathoms water on greenish sand, and close to it there are 23 fathoms. Alter passing over the bank the water suddenly deepens to 25 fathoms on sand, and from thence the depth gradually lessens as the shore is approached. Ab ut three quarters of a mile S. W. bv W.W. from the Lighthouse lies the northern and shallowest part of a bed of rocks called the *' Drunken Sailor,” on which the sea generally breaks, the depth of water being only G feet. This ledge is about 100 yards in length, but with the exception of about twenty yards of the northern part, there are 4, .5, and 6 fathoms on it. In the N, E. monsoon, when the sea is smooth and the breakers are not seen, it is prudent not to come within 9 faihoms water, as there are 8 fathoms close to the rocks. The passage within the ledge is clear with 7 faihoms on sandy bottom, but the position of these rocks is so near the shore and so much to the southward of the usual anchorage, that-no advantage can be gained by steering near them at any lime. The currents off Colombo are subject to considerable variation, particularly ab-iut the changes of the monsoon, when they are the strongest; but generally there is not so much current as to inconvenience shipping having to communicate with the shore without coming-to anchor.

The greatest difference between high and low water recorded at Colombo is tfbt more than 2 ft. 10 inches. In the S. W. monsoon when the mean level of the Ocean is the lowest, the difference between high and low water is from 5 to 15 inches. On those days when the difference between high and low water is not more than G inches,' the rise and fall has been observed to take place four times within 24 hours.

The anchorage ground is very good itf Colombo roadstead, particularly in 7 and 8-fathoms, with the Lighthouse bearing S. S. E. and the Dutch Church E. by S.

3s S, Iu the N. E. monsoon merchant ships frequently anchor in 6^ fathoms with' the Light house bearing S. £ E. and the Dutch Church E. by S. j S.

Whenever a Pilot is required on board the charge for his services is 15 shillings. From the Custom House point a shifting sand bank, or bar, extends to the N.N. W, about 2U0 fathoms, on which the depth of water is sometimes not more than 7 feet. Small vessels that draw 9 feet water moor within the bar, and ate protected by it and the Custom House point from the S. W. wind and sea,

When the sea is high it breaks with great force on the bar and renders .the passage to and from the shipping in the outer roads dangerous for small boats. The boats belonging.to the port and native .boats pass out and in to the southward of the breakers on the bar, by keeping as close as possible to the breakers' °n the rocky point, round-which is the landing wharf. But this passage should not be attempted by a stranger when the sen breaks heavily on the bar: it is then more safe to pa>s to the northward of the >n 3 ! a-lombo is sn much Irequentcd at alb « ^ >°ra6<= C.°;s wssns say

strong. Commanders of ships should take special qare to secure the small iron pins in their chain cables, as the constant pitching motion caused by the S. W. monsoon swell, has very frequently worked out the small iron pins by the beating of the cables on sandy bottom. Hard wooden pins dipped in white lead have been used successfully, instead of iron ones, by some of thc-regulur trading ships.

rORT OF POINT DE GALLE. IsPoint de Galle Lighthouse in Latitude 6° l' -15" N., Longi ude 80° 16' E.

stands at the southern angle-of the Fort, which is built on a rocky peninsula; several rocky islets lay ofT the Lighthouse, one of which (named Pigeon Island) has 3 Cocounut trees on it: the harbour is to the eastward of the Fort; watering point at the opposite side of the entrance, bearing from the Lighthouse E. by S. ^ S. I mile; it is considered safe at all seasons. But many rocks having from 3 to 20 feet water are scattered over the entrance and inside, rendering it necessary for Vessels to take a Pilot: the outermost of these rocks having 12 feet water on it,* bears from the Lighthouse about S. by E. $ E, £ mile.

The best anchorage in the roads is to the S. W.of these rocks, in from IS to18 fathoms water, with the Lighthouse on with the Haycock, or the Churchwith Pilot’s tree; or, if the marks cannot be distinguished, the Lighthouse bearingfrom N. by E. to N. N. E. about 1 mile ofT shore:

S. W. by \V. 3 miles from Galle Lighthouse there is a rocky Bank called Gallehoogalle Bank, nearly a mile in extent, having in one place only Ifi fathoms

• water, the general depth on it being 18 to 22, inside this bank there is 29 fathoms and close to it outside, 30 to 35.

Bellows Rock which always breaks, bears from Galle Lighthouse S. 50 E. 2.^ miles, and from Danawatty Point (the extreme of the high land forming the East side of Galle Harbour) S. S. E. j E. a large ^ mile, there is 10 fathoms water close to the Rock on the outside.

Gindura Rock, which is very dangerous,lies about 2 miles directly off the mouth of the Gindura River, and bears Irom Galle Lighthouse W. by N. i N. 4 £ m.: (it is called by the natives Medda Rock;) there is only 9 feet water on its shoulest part, 4 and 5 fathoms about a cable’s length from it all lound, and 15 fathoms J m. outside: Oonawat'y Point kept open outside the breakers of the Whale, clears on the outside; or, the extreme of the land to the Northward kept open of some rocky islets >ituate close to the shore about 6 miles to the northward of Gindura Rock.

The Whale bears from Galle Lighthouse W. 4 c N. 2\ miles, and is nearly IA mile «.from the shore; it always breaks, but in fine weather only once in t or 5 minutes,

so that a good lookout is then necessary when passing it; there are 7 fms. water close outside, 12 fms. £ mile, and 2t) fms. 4* mile off.

The Li 1 tie Whale,-a small rock above water with 7 fms. close to all round, lies about half way between the Whale and Galle Lighthouse on the same line of bearing.

The Haycock, a high conical mountain conspicuous from seaward is a good land mark for this part of the Coast; it bears from Galle Lighthouse N,*by E. f E. distant about 20 Miles.

THE HARBOUR OF THINCOMAL1E.Trincomalie, situated on the east side of the Island of Ceylon, contains a

most spacious safe harbour, and with its small bays and coves is perhaps superior to any in India. Every part of the harbour is land-locked, the anchorage good for any number of Ships and of any burthen.

Back Bay from the 1st of April to the 25th October is also an excellent anchorage with irem 10 to 5 fathoms water good holding ground, sea quire smooth, so that the smallest boats may land. Fort Frederick lorms the S E. point of the bay, the Flag-staff there is in Latitude 8° 35' 38" N. and Long. 81° M; 52" E.

. A good light which can be seen 15 miles off is exhibited at the Flag-staff every night soon after sun-set; it is 206 feet above the level of the sea, and serves to guide Ships by night clear of the rocks off Pigeon Island lo the north and the shoal^ off Foul Point to the S. E., a>* well as to lead them to an anchorage in Rack Buy. Pilots for the inner harbour are necessary, as there are dangerous1

A New Light was exhibited at Flag-staff Point Trincomalie on the night of the 1st Oct. 18-15, and is continued every night from sun-set until day light.

The Lantern having a fixed light with two powerful reflectors, when hoisted, is 206 feet above the level of the sea. The Light can be seen 15 miles off from any bearing between Pigeon Island and Foui Point comprehending an angle of

• 140 degrees.The following remarks are published for general information:—

Foul Point bears from the Light S. 55® E. distant 5r} miles, and the extreme of the reef off that point S. GO® E, .nearly 5 miles.

Ships coming from the S. E. with a lair wind at night and having made tbe"Light should on no account in passing Foul Point bring the Light to bear to the north* ward of W. N. W., that bearing will take a Ship more than half a mile to the northward of the. reef and in not less than 14 fathoms water. If it is intended to anchor in Bark Bay (which Ships may safely do between the middle of March and 25th October) and having brought the Light to bear YV. N. W. they may steer directly for it rounding Flag-staff point close (the point being steep to) and anchor in 10 fathoms \v-«ter with the Light hearing about S. b. E., small Vessels may anchor in 6 or 7 fathoms water with the Light bearing S. E. b. E.

From the Light the outside visible Rock of Pigeon Island, distant about 9 miles, is in a direct line with Elizabeth Point, bearing N. 15° \V. Ships coming from the northward and wishing to anchor in Back Bay should be cautious not to bring the Light to bear to the eastward of south; that hearing will lead 2 miles to the eastward of Pigeon Island and nearly a mile to the eastward of the Lively Rocks. These ltocks lie half a mile to the eastward of Elizabeth Point having 4 fathoms water close to. When quite sure of being to the southward of the Lively Rocks, ships may bring the Light to bear S. by E. and anchor in Back Bay as before directed.. After the 25th October the anchorage in Back Bay is not safe until the middle of Match, as there is frequently towards the end of October before the North East monsoon sets in, n heavy swell with variable winds. Ships should not attempt the. Inner Harbour during the night except under most favourable circum- « stances, such as good moon-light and havirg a person on board possessing local knowledge of the Harbour and the entrance to it. In such a case and being abreast of Flag-stall' Point the Light kept N. N. W. W. will lead clear of Chapel Rocks. The extreme Rock which is under water, bears horn the Light S. 18° E. distant 2 miles.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR NAVIGATING THE GULF OF MANAAR.

Some few years since it was considered a hazardous undertaking for a Vessel of any size to proceed far up into the Gulf of Manaar, the more particularly during the S.W, Monsoon, when it was supposed to be impossible to beat out again. Later experience, however, has shewn that no dangers exist that may _ not be avoided by ordinary carfe and attention; and that as regards working to windward gainst the Monsoons, no difficulty will be expeiienced if the following instructions be attended to.

In the N.E. "Monsoon, that is, from November to March inclusive, fine weather, with land and sea breezes, wilt be found to prevail on the Ceylon side of the Gull, where good anchorage may always be selected between Colombo and , Chilaw, at Itj to 3 miles off shore, in 6 to 9 fathoms, sand. Vessels wishing to beat up during the first three months ought therefore to keep over on that side till they have advanced sufficiently far to make certain 8f their port if bound to the Indian coast, as the breezes there may be excepted to blow steadily and •trong N.N.E. with a strong lee current. In rounding the Cape Comorin at tbi»

▼

the Gulf of Manaar.timo the Indian shore, may be kepff&n board till abreast of Manupaud Point, a high promontory, with a small white Church erected on its summit. A Vessel inay then stretch across with advantage, and probably in. the next,tack fetch Tu- ticorcen, the only port on the Indian coast frequented by large Vessels.

Small Vessels of light draught will also find this the easiest method of working up; and if bound to Paumben had better keep the Ceylon shore till abreast of Caipentvn, which they may know by th«i three long hills of Kodramallai, the only ones near the coast. They can then stand across, and make Paumbei? either by the eastern channel between the Island of Hamisscram and the Kcef and Island south of that port, or by the western channel between Freshwater and Anapaar Islands at Valinookum Point.

In the S.W. Monsoon a Ship ought to keep over on the Indian side till near Manapaud Point, when she will generally be able to fetch to windward of Colombo, and be clear of all dangers. The only safe place for Vessels of size to anchor in on the Ceylon coast, during this Monsoon, is at Colombo, where the current from the Kalany Ganga or Mutwall River, running to windward, takes much of the strain off the cables of Vessels riding there. Should one nevertheless part, or find it necessary to slip, she may seek safety by standing across the Gulf to Tuticoreen, which, being situated on the weather side, affords good shelter and anchorage. A fixed light, seen S or 10 miles off, was erected on Hare Island ■ at this port last year with a view to facilitate the approach to the anchorage during the night; and the instructions relative to it arc herewith republished.

Small craft working down from Paumben will do well to keep inside the Islands till they reach the Western entrance of the inland navigation at Valinookum Point. They can now work down near the coast as far as Manapaud Point,when their fetching Colombo on the starboard tack may be considered certain.

Colombo FlagstafT, which is close to the lighthouse, is in 6° 56' 6" North latitude, and 79® 5fi' 6,f Fast longitude. The anchorage, as given by Captain Steuart, the Master Attendant, is in 7 to fathoms during the S.W. Monsoon,with the lighthouse S.S.E. Masterly, and the Dutch Church, a large building inthe bottom of the bay, the upper part of which having a thatched belfry may be seen over the houses of the Town, bearing E. by S. In the N.E. Monsoon Vessels may anchor farther in, with the light S. £ E. and the same Church E.S.E in to 7 fathoms, sand and mud in each position. The Drunken Sailor, a patch of rocks about 100 yaids long and 20 broad, with only G feet over, it in some parts, is situated 1,1 SO yards S.W. by W.W. of the Flagstaff, and 1,000 yards ofF the nearest shore. It has from 6 to 9 fathoms close round it.

The Harbour, which is only used by small craft, is well protected during the S.W. Monsoon by the Custom Mouse Point, behind which they anchor in 2.A to 3$ fathoms, sand, with it bearing from S.W. to W.S W., and Mutwall Point N. by E. to N.N.E. A sandy spit extends from „tlie first-named Point in a northerly direction, with 1A to 2A fathoms over it and 5 to G fathoms close outside. To avoid this the" Dutch Church ought to be kept E. by S. £ S. till the Custom House bears S. by W.

Negombo Fort, off which Vessels may shortly have to anchor for the purppse of shipping Sugar the produce of estates lately brought under cultivation in its vicinity, is in 7° 12' 9" North latitude, and 79° 53' East longitude. The best anchorage is a mile off shore, with the Fort about East, Northerly, just clear of Negombo rocky point, in G:^ to 7 fathoms, sand; but as this sand is not deep, and the stream of the Negombo • Lake, which empties itself here, sets to the North, I would decidedly warn Vessels from anchoring here during the S W. Monsoon, or from May to August, inclusive. Rocks awash extend from the Point N. by W. ^ W. for 4u0 yards, and the ledge may be then traced in the same direction, with 3, 4, and *5 fathoms over it for 2^ miles further, till it terminates in a coral patch, having 9 to 12 fee.t over it, 2^ miles off shore. Small craft can cross this ledge, and anchor in 2 to 3 fathoms, with Negombo Point S.W. £ W., and the Fort S.E. by E., from £ to % mile off shore.

Chiiaw Bungalow, in 7° 31' North latitude, and 79° 51' 29" East longitude, may be known by its high red tiled roof, seen 8 or 9 miles off in clear weather. On the Charts now extant some rocks are placed near this at some distance from the shore, but they were found to be not more than f of a mile off, and consequently cannot be considered as forming any obstacle to general navigation. They are situated 5 miles due North of the Bungalow; and are in a line between it. and the next Point. Twenty-ont* miles North of the Bungalow soundings on rock, to as little as 3£ fathoms arc found from 3 to -J miles off shore, with 6 and 8 fathoms immediately outside. Vessels of size therefore ought to .be careful not to come within this distance of the land hereabouts, although small craft can at all times go over the shoal.

The only dangers in the approach to it are a rocky patch, with over ’ ' 1 —•»in the approach to it are a rocky patch, with over it at low water, 2 miles W.S.W. of the North end of the neck' of sand before mentioned, and some shoal ■Water'S miles N.N.W. off the same Point, and 2A miles West of some Palmyra trees, a few of which are leafless, on the Island of Karateevo. Thi> last extends North and South about 2 miles, with an average breadth of one, having from 3 icet to S fathoms, with a smail patch ol sand, generally dry, due West ol the above trees. There are --I to 5 fathoms to the Eastward of this reel, but no person. without being well acquainted with the coast, ought to attempt the pa<>ase inside. From seaward the North end of the neck of sand ought^ to be brought to bear S.E. 7 E.. when it can be steered for, and passed within 50 yards, carrying 3 to 4 fathoms, sand.

Very good anchorage in the S.W. Monsoon may .. . of Kodramailai Point, in 8° 32' North latitude, and 79® 5(>' East longitude, which ma* be known by the three long hills seen over the low land of Kara-

In steering for tilts anchorage, the North end of the hills ought to be kept about E. by S. till well past the island, when the anchor may be let go in 2$ to 3A lathoms, sand, with the rocky promontory bearing S.S.W. to S.W., 3 tO 1 ;; < ile off.

No Vessels ought to proceed on the Ceylon side further towards the head ol the Gulf than this, as tlieie arc many slv-al place-% .at sonic distance fiom the shore, and no good holding ground. In the S.W. Monsoon a strong current is found setting to the Northward over Adam’s bridge, which abates as the Indian coast is approached; and a contused sea is generally found to prevail near Manaur. ’ „

The Eastern entrance to Paumben is in 9° 15' 30" North latitude, and 79 17' East longitude. 801110 small islets are situated at the East end of the reef, between which and the island of Ramisseram the channel leads. A pole has lately been erected on the Northern limit of the shoal water inside these islets, between which and Ramisseram deep water is to bo found. The south end of the cut through the horse-shoe bank, by which Vessels have to pass in going through the Paumben channel, boars from this pole E. by N.

A fixed light has lately been exhibited at Paumben, seen II to 12 mile’ off in dear weather, respecting which directions have been separately published, and which are recommended to the notce of Maiiners frequenting the port.

The Western entrance to Paumben is situated in 9° 9' North latitude, and 78® 4U' East Longitude, lying between Vajinookam Point, on the Main coast of India, and the small island of Anapaar. which last must not be approached nearer than a mile till the South end bears South of East.

The passage will then be entered, when a straight course for Keclakarry at N.E. by# E. may be kept, care being taken to avoid some reefs nearly awash which lie off Erawaddy Point, the ea-ternmost limit of the deep bay opposite the en • trance just described. Five and six fathoms wiJl be found at this entrance, shoaling to 3 farther in. with an oc< asional cast of 2|, sand. The best anchorage at Kcelakarry is in 2-J to S fathoms, stiff mud. with a detatched ruin East of the town bearing North, and some large terraced houses iS \V. Pilots here come on board to take vessels to °aumben. which lies 20 miles farther to the Eastward; but should a Vessel proceed without such assistance, the following directions, must be followed.

Steer tot a little outside the next Point (N’aagimundel) till a small tope between a hillock at the mouth of a rivulet and an old ruined temple bearsNorth. Then stand across about S.E. $ E. for a little outside the West end ol the next island, fTalHari). This leads ovei the deepest part ol a spit in 2} lathoms. with 7 feet on each side, where a buoy will shortly be moored to indicatethe channel. Two bungalows at the next Point on the Main will now be seen,and when they bear N.E. & E. steer E.N.E. till they are passed, when due East will take a Vessel to the buoys on each side of the passage at Ramasawmv’s Choultry. To avoid a sandy knoll with only 7 IVet over it. the Southern ol these buoys ought to I car E by N when about mile off; and alter pa-sing between them steer about East, u»r a high bacon erected -on a patch of rocks. Leaving this to 1 Ml yards to the Southward, st,nd on for the North end of the next island, Pullceteevo, and round it at about * mile off, keeping E.N.E. till the opening between Pullceteevo and the next Island bears South? then steer Easr, and

teevo.

the Gulf of Manaar. 3111854]anchor near the sand bank channel which has a buoy to mark its position. No Vessel drawing more than 8;} I'eet ought to attempt this navigation without a ° Ivcelakorry Pilot.

Tuticorccn Light is in 8° 47' 17" North latitude, and 7S° 14' l" East longitude. The following are the directions respecting it before adverted to.

A Vessel making the Port at night may anchor with it bearing from W.N.W. to W. by S. about 3-J to 2 miles off shore..where good holding ground will be found in G to fathoms. At 3;} miles distance with the same bearings the ground is foul, on Pearl banks.

In approaching from the South, the light may be kept about N. N. W. till within 3 or 4 miles, when the above anchorage may be. selected ; but should a Vessel suddenly deepen her water from 7 or 8 fathoms to 12, 15, or 20, she should immediately steer North till she makes the light, taking care to keep further to seaward if it bears North of N, N .W. The outer part of this deep water lies a little to

\ I the North of the head of the Coilnapatam reef, and bears S. by E. 10 miles from the Tuticoreen Light.

From the North a Vessel may keep the light about S. W. till within 3 or 4 miles, when she must steer more out for the anchorage; but in no instance ought the water to be shoaled under G4 fathoms, excepting with the bearings on for the anchorage, and then not under 6.

In the N. E. Monsoon Vessels should lie with a good, scope of cable out, as although the seas are not heavy, they are sharp, and occasion a chain to jerk.The sea breeze at this time blows on the reef, and a 'second anchor, with chain ranged, ought always to be kept ready for letting go.

In the S. W. Monsoon, which usually lasts from the middle of May to the middle of August, the Port may be made without fear, lor although the winds are very violent, they are invariably off shore from W. to S.W. accompanied by smooth water. At this lime Vessels may approach the reef to 5 fathoms; but should always have a stream anchor to seaward, as occasionally, during the lulls of the Monsoon, a light air comes in from the Eastward.

As a rule, Vessels of size ought not to approach the land above Tuticoreen nearer than G or 7 miles, as 2^ or 3 fathoms are found 5 miles off in sonic places. When some large clumpy trees at Putnurmadoor, seen 10 miles off, and when no other object on shore is visible, bear North of West, the shoal water is to the Northward.

There are two channels for small craft into Tuticoreen harbour, but that to the North is so intricate as to be seldom used. The Southern one loads between the southernmost island and the mainland, the reef connecting them be’mg crossed in 12 to 14 Icet at distance of A to IA mile of the islaiid. This being passed, a

be steered for Devil’s Point on the Main, after elosedy rounding which a small Vessel may stand direct for the town of Tuticoreen, carrying 11 to 9 feet. Before passing Devil’s Point 2A fathoms are found, sand and mud.

At the distance of 2A miles due East of the Pennacoil tope, a scanty tope to the south of a large ruined building, 9 miles from Devil’s Point, is situated thci inner edge of an extraordinary natural basin in the rocks, 4-A miles East and West, and averaging miles in breadth: the outer part being the broadest and deepest. The bottom is composed of fine sand and mud, in 7 fathoms on the Western, to 18 and 20 fathoms on’’the Eastern extreme, from which it suddenly shoals to 9, fi, and 7A fathoms on a pearl bank. In standing up the coast during the night with a scant wind, this i$ good ground for ascertaining a Vessel’s > position, as no similar spot exists from Paumben to Comorin. From the outer part, in 15 to 20 fathoms, the* anchorage off Tuticoreen bears N. by E. miles.

Good anchorage in 3 to 4 fathoms, mud, with this tope bearing West 1 to 14 mile, is to be found here during the Southerly winds under the lee of a reef which commences 2.4 miles N. E. by N. of the next point (Coilnapatnam), and continues with little exception to Cape Comorin. As far as.Manapaud Poiut this reef varies in its distance from the land from l to 2jJ miles, but thence to Comorin it seldom exceeds A a mile. The head of this reef lies S. by W. 1U^ miles from Tuticoreen*Light.

Tricbendore Point, in 8U 29' 55" North latitude, and 78° 9' 51" East longitude, is 18 miles S. by \V. AVcsterly of Tuticoreen Light, and may be known by its having a high dark Pagoda on its extremity, seen in ordinary weather 12 to 18 miles off.

Manapaud Point, situated 8.4 miles 5. S. W.£ W. of the Trichcudore Pagoda, is a. high sandy promontory jutting out boldly into the sea. It has a small whffe- 'washed Clhurch on its summit, visible in clear weather 12 to 13 miles off, which appears at first like a ship under sail. Some foul ground in 4, to 10 fathoms is

There are many other patches with 5^ and G fathoms over which Vessels might pass, yet the safest plan when going between the reef and the Point is not to bring the Church to the West of North till within 2 or 3 miles of it. An E. N. E. course will then take a Vessel out clear.

Cape Comorin, which is placed by Colonel Lambton in his Trigonometrical survey in 8° 4' 35"'North latitude, and 77° 34' 4G" East longitude, rises in a gradual slope, is covered on the East side with Palmyra trees, and may be easily distinguished by the reddish appearance of the soil, and a large white Choultry situated near th6 beach. Two large rocks with a small one outside, on which the sea at all times breaks with much violence, stretch to the distance of i mWe from the shore. They are steep to and may with a lair wind be approached within £ mile, in 8 or 8k fathoms, but .with scant wind caution is necessary, as the current sets rapidly round the Point, and may drift a vessel into danger.

The breezes in the Gulf of Manaar are generally stronger than the adjacent coasts, the only moderate months being April and October; yet if the instructions already given be attended to, no difficulty will be found in working up or down against them. The N. E. Monsoon sets in with lorce about the middle of November, and lasts till the end of January, bringing with it a current of from 20 to 30 miles a day to the S. W. It blows steadily from N. N. E. along the Indian shore, but on the opposite side is modified into land and sea breezes, with very fine weather. In February land and sea breezes commence on the Indian side; and bv April the general set of the wind iu the Gulf will be found to have drawu round to the Southward, the sea breezes being S. E. to S. W., according to the coast on which they prevail. These now increase in force till about the middle of May, when the regular S. W. Monsoon sets in. blowing with great violence from W.S.W. onthe Indian coast, and S. W. on the Ceylon coast, where it commences rather earlier, and is attended with heavy falls of rain, thunder and lightning. In August the strength of the Monsoon abates, but strong Southerly winds are still experienced in this and the next month, becoming lighter as the season advances. Variable and gentle breezes, with smooth water,'may usually be expected m October, lasting till the setting in of the N.E. Monsoon, which is ushered in on the Indian side by 15 or 20 days of heavy rain.

The current will generally be’ found to set with the wind in the strength of the Monsoons; but this is not invariably thefore be paid to the soundings, and unless a good Pilot be on board, a Vessel ought not to shoal her water during the night to less than 12 fathoms above or IS or 20 fathoms below Manapaud on the Indian'coast; or to less than 10 fathoms above and 20 below Colombo, increasing the depth to 40 till abreast of Point de Galle on the Ceylon coast; excepting of course her position be ascertained by the bearing of the light at Tuticoreen or Colombo.

Average high water occurs at 1 p. m. dn lull and change—ordinary rise and Tall 18 to 24 inches—at springs 30 to 36 inches. The flood sets in about E. N. E., and the ebb about S. W., but their direction is greatly influenced by tee wind. The variation1 of the compass may be stated at about 1° Easterly.

All the above longitudes are calculated on the assumption of the Galle Flagstaff being in 80° 16' East. 1

si 3Paumben Light House—Sailing List ructions. PAUMBEN LIGHT HOUS£

185 J]

The facilities for the passage of Vessels through the channels at Paumben, having been considerably increased of late, the following notice is published for general information:—

Paumben Light House is inLatitude 9° 17' 307/ N.Longitude 79° 12' 34// E.

Assuming Gallo Light to be in 80° 14' 20// E.

The light is placed on a column erected on a Hill to the Eastward of the Town of Paumben, is 8-1 loot above the level of the Sea, and in ordinary weather should be seen from the deck of a small craft, such as usually navigate the Gulf of Manaar and Palks Bay, from 11 to 12 miles off.

In making Paumben from the North during the night, Vessels may run for the light bearing S. W. to E. S. E., keeping rather out in coming from the Eastward, if under 6 fathoms, as the water shoals suddenly after that depth is obtained off the coast of Ramisseram.

j .The best anchorage is with the light bearing from S. E. ^ E. to E. S. E., ^ mile to lmile off, in 3.^ to 4 fathoms, sand and mud, good holding ground. The Northern entrance to the Channel, which is indicated by a Black Buoy, will then be from 4 to h mile off.

^ In approaching during the night from the South, care must be taken to avoid the 2 Fathom Rock, from which the light bears N. 14° \V. 17 miles, and which has 3£ to 5 fathoms in its immediate neighbourhood. If from the Westward, a vessel ought to bring the light North, and run with that bearing till about 5 miles off, which, alter taking her over a rocky ledge having 3.} to 5.}- fathoms on, will place her in 5J- to GJ fathoms, mud and sand, about 1.} mile from the reef extending Westward from the shingle Islets. She may then steer N. E. by E. •$ E., till the light bears N. W. by W., when she cart run for it till in smooth water, and anchor in 4 to 5 fathoms, sand and mud, between the land and shingle Islets before mentioned.

If the light is made from the Eastward, a vessel ought to keep it X. N, W. $ W., •edging out or to the North a little as she shoals her water to 4 fathoms, to avoid the shingle Islets, the Eastern end of the Reef off which bears from the light S. 24° E. Similes. She may then anchor as before. This course would take her very near a patch of rock with 3 fathoms on, but as the Craft using the Channel are of light draught, no fear need be entertained of striking on it. ‘

These instructions for the South Entrance are intended for the use of Vessels nearing the Port during the S. W. Monsoon, In the N. E. Monsoon the Island of Ramisseram, which may be approached on this side to within a cable’s length, becoming a weather shore, the water is sufficiently smooth to allow of Vessels anchoring anywhere, and the bearings above given clearly shew the dangers to be avoided.

The least water in the Paumben Channel at the lowest spring tide is 8.\ feet, but as the average rise on this is 26 to 28 inches, and in October, November and December, 30 to 36, and at times even 42 inches, Vessels drawing 10 feet can safely make use of it. • Native Pilots are always ready to carry Vessels through; and to obviate any inconvenience which might be felt by Commanders unable to speak their language, a Hindoo- Briton is employed as Head Pilot, whose services wili be always available.

''CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN CEYLON.i

iiBy E. E. Kelaart, m. d., &c.

IAs the cultivation of Cotton in Ceylon is beginning to attract the attention of European Capitalists, we are induced to say a few words of encouragement to those who are not sanguine as to the ultimate success of the growth of this plant in some parts of the Island.

It is well known that Cotton of one species or another will grow in almost every part of the Island ; but whether the cultivation of it in ail parts will repay the outlay is another matter for consideration. Hitherto, the few experiments made have either failed from the bad selection of locality, or from parties sowing seed of the variety not adapted to the soil or climate of the land so selected.

Thougli the cotton plant is cultivated in the tropical parts of every land of the Old and New World, it is not the same species of cotton (Gossypium) which succeeds in all parts. It was by Dr. Roxburgh’s advice that the cotton plant of Bourbon has been transplanted to India, and this species, the G. Barbadense now furnishes the largest quantity of the best Indian cotton. It does not follow that the Bourbon plant will be as productive of good cotton in <. eylon as it is in India. Ceylon does not possess that peculiar soil called Rajur, or the black cotton soil, which lies over a limestone gravel called Kunker. In the interior of the Island, where soil of some resemblance to this is found, the climate is too damp for this, or any other species of cotton ; therefore, we must look to the Coast, or Maritime Provinces, for land suited to the successful cultivation of cotton. The species which we think will succeed best along the sea line, or within 15 or 20 miles of the sea, is the Sea Island cotton G. Arboreum. This variety of cotton thrives best near the sea; it i a notable fact, too, that cotton of whatever species, except the Pernambuco, deteriorates in quality as the plantation recedes from the sea. This peculiarity is accounted for by Dr. Ure chemically: 100 parts of the ashes of Sea Island cotton yielded,

1. Matter soluble in’water, 64 parts, consisting ofCarbonate of. Potash..*.......44. 8

,Muriate of Potash........Sulphate of lJotash........

2. Matter indissoluble in water—Phosphate of lime.........Carbonate of lime........Phosphate of Magnesia.Peroxide of Iron.......Alumina a trace, and loss*.. 5. 0

100.Dr. Ure observes, that the above analysis seems to throw considerable

light on the predilection of the ,?potton plant lor the neighbourhood of the sea, which supplies plentifully the saline substances requisite to the

Notes on the Cultivation24

perfect development and constitution of its woolly fruit. It may hjfnce he inferred, that the compost or lftanure best fitted for Cotton plantations should oontaiu neutro -saline matter, with alkaline, calcareous, and magnesian bases. The presence of ^magnesia deserves notice, as it indicates marine food. Here, as in many other examples, the vegetative powers of the roots seem to eliminate potash from the stone detritus of the soil which replaces the soda in the sea salts. For otherwise we should have found salts with a basis of soda, instead of potash salts in the ashes of the cotton.

Although the bases of soils of Ceylon are the detritus of primitive rocks, it does not follow that the detritus of all granitic or gneissic rocks produce the same kind of-soil, or in other words, the same nutritive mineral matters. The rocks which when decomposed will yield the best soil are those containing Hornblende in addition to Felspar and Mica. Hornblende. contains 11 per cent of lime, whereas Felspar only 1*5 per cent, and Mica none. Goo*i soil for coffee planting may exist without the presence of Limestone, and so may good soil for chiton plantations.— However, it must be admitted that the soils for either are much improved from the presence of limestone detritus. We presume; therefore, that a good manure for cotton soils will be lime obtained from burning the Dolomite limestone of this Island, which contains also Magnesia, the phosphate of which is one of the indissoluble matters found in cotton, and which Dr. Uro says, is, in the Sea Island cotton, derived from marine matter In inland districts, where only good soil is wanted for cotton, a mixture of salt and Dolomite lime will perhaps be found an essential part ol the manure required.

Whatever variety of cotton is tried, the climate best adapted is one where the humidity is not great, where the vicissitudes of temperature are not very sudden, and the wet and dry seasons are sufficiently distinct, Though cotton may thrive better and crops be more numerous in the Southern parts of the Island, the Western and Northern, particularly the North-eastern parts, will give the requisite seasons for gathering and preparing the best cotton. Trincomalie, therefore, with its flue harbour, may yet become a flourishing Port.

There are people who believe that planting cotton requires little care and attention. They must undeceive themselves of this fallacy, before they can expect to produce good cotton: there is as much, if not more difference, between Plantation cotton, and the* inferior sorts obtained from a careless cultivation, su«h as most of the Indian cottons are the products of, as there is between. Plantation and Nati^ coffee; and if we mistake not, Ceylon is capable of producing as many varieties of cotton as she is now doing ol Coffee, though in the article cotton, the lowland produce will doubtless' letch higher prices than the upland. A brighter day is wC hope looming in the future of < eylon, when her thousands of acres o lowland jungle, on which sea breezes blow, will be cleared, and the beautiful vine-leaved cotton clothe the land. -

There is no fear, that if *hort staples are demanded from Ceylon, that the natives will not by their simple mode of cultivation, reduce W staples of Son Island to any shorter dimensions desired. But we doubt not that if t eylon produce good bea Island cotton, there will be a market for it At present the demand lor this tine quality is not great, as the quantity produced being small, prices are now high; and the finer Sea

manufactured from it are confined to the use of the wealthier classes, but« when the quantity is increased and the prices lower, the poorer classes will he able to wear the fine cambrics which only now deck the fair forfiis of the opulent. *

Dr. Doyle, in his work on the Natural Productions of India, says,“ that from inquiries made to ascertain what kinds of Cotton^it is most desirable to cultivate in India, it appears best as a general rule, to imitate the Amercian short and long staple Cottons as nearly as possible. It has by some been thought unadvisable to increase the supply of long staple

‘Cottons, such as Sea Island, Pernambuco, &c., to a great degree, but of this there is no fear. If the supply were abundant and regular, the prices might fall, and long staple Cottons would be used for many of those purposes for which short staple Cottons are now alone employed.Cut it will not be easy to increase the supply, if regular,. beyond the demand.”

The following remarks on the mode of cultivation? will be of service to the Ceylon Cotton Planter.

The most approved method is the one known in'America. The ground is formed into ridges, 5 feet in breadth, extending in straight lines over the whole field; if the land be at all low and subject to be overflowed, these ridges are intersected by ditches at intervals of 105 feet from each other, for receiving the water that may collect in the hollow spaces between the ridges on which the Cotton plants are reared. These hollows correspond to the water furrows in wheat husbandry, and serve the same purpose of drainage. The ridges should rise about ten inches above the level of the intervals, the crown being flat and regular; a trench is then made along the middle of the ridge, from two to four inches deep, according to the time of planting. If the seed is sown in very dry weather it will be necessary to sow the seeds deeper, say 4 inches. A bushel of Cotton seeds is requisite for an English acre. It is necessary to place

» trio or three seeds in each drill, but when the plants spring up, the strong ones are only left* the weaker ones removed. In Ceylon the drills ought to be made 2 feet apart, as the soil is not generally very rich. But in very rich soil 10 or 12 inches apart will suffice.

The seeds ought to be sown just before each rainy season. The fruits trill then ripen in the dry season when picking will commence. In some parts of the Island, such as the north-east, where there are two marked

* ' dry and wefceasons, two crops may be gathered, a large and a small one,but in most places only one crop can be calculated upon. During the growth of the plant the fields ought to be carefully weeded with the hand hoe, and the young plants must be supported against the wind by gathering fresh soil round them. Indeed, it is only this way that the plants which are of a tender kind can resist tempestuous weather. It will be sometime before the Ceylon Cotton Planter knows for a certainty the exact period of the year when he ought to sow the- seeds ; and this will not be the same in every part of the Island. In the neighbourhood of Galle, experiments are being made on a large scale, hitherto, with comparative success. Sea Island Cotton grows here to perfection; and the staples of the Cotton produced are very long, and consequently of high value. Samples of it sent to England were valued at 2s. 6d. per lb. *

Notes on the Cultivation of Cotton in Ceylon.

<• Even atc One Shilling per lb. the cultivation of the Cotton pim will be more remunerative than the generality of Coffee Estates now (ire.

People, with a small capital may safely venture in well selected lands the cultivation of Cotton, the outlay will not be more than one half of that now required for opening a Coffee Estate. In America four acres, of land yield 5 cwts. ofrclean Cotton. In Ceylon probably 3 cwts. will be nearer the mark.

Some twenty years ago the Ceylon Government distributed Cotton seeds (of short staple variety) to different Government Agents, and, we believe, that Cotton was at that period successfully cultivated at Trinco- maiie, and also, partially, at Galle. It is to be hoped that the desire to develope the resources of the Island is not extinct, and that those who have the power and the means will take the initiative in a matter of such great importance.

P. S.—From a recent .Report of Mr. Thwaites, the zealous Botanist and active Superintendent of the Peradenia Botanical Garden, we learn that the climate of the Kandyan Hills is not adapted for the successful cultivation of the Cotton plant.—E. E. K

Cn Ceylon :—Its Geology, Scenery and Soil. *

By the Rev. John G. Macvicae, d.d.

Cetlox, when first seen by the voyager who mahes it on the south, as is usual, appears on the horizou as a beautiful island. The line of coast, everywhere clothed with umbrageous palm trees, sometimes even overhanging the seu, and affording a grateful shade to the fishermen who spend the best p'<rt of their time when on shove beneath them, is generally level; but it is pleasingly d.versified at iutervu.s by sloping headlands (Dondra Head, l*oint de Galle, Barbyreen, Caltura, Galkisse, Colombo, Negombo), crowned by Bud hist temples, or more usually by forts, either still mounted or in ruins, with little towns and villages reposing in the neighbouring bays. From the whole coast also, there may be seen proceeding under sail in the land-breeze of the morning, to spend a dify in the offing in i^rsuit of various # species ofScomberida?, a ileet of#thc spider-like canoes of the natives, of which I have m\ self counted a hundred from a single bay, many Dhonics or native traders being left behind them at anchor; while in one of these bays (the hai hour of Colombo), at the season when all this marine activity is going on (December, January, February, March, April), there may be counted upwards of twenty ships of large tonnage, holding an active commerce with the shore, by burden-boats unloading the manufactures of Britain, France and America, for the use of the Island, and receiving Coffee, Cinnamon, and Coir (cocoa-nut fibre) in return; their naked crews of swarthy Mulabars singing the livelong day at the top of their voices to the pull of the oar.

On carrying the eye onwards to the landward horizon, it is seen to be bounded by a noble Mountain-range, between thirty and forty miles distant,culminating, if the vogager lias made the Island near Point deUa.lo, in a conical summit named the liay-cock, which, in general effect, may be compared with SchehaTon in this countrv, ns seen from the cast; and if ho make the coast nearer Colombo, in Adam’s Peak,—a summit so eminent, that I do not remember to have seen any thing that will bear comparison with it, except perhaps

But though the coast of Ceylon be so pleasing to the eye as seen from the sea, ye tato the Naturalist when he lands it proves very disappointing. The range of the barometer very seldom exceeds one-fourth of an inch, and that of thp. tide seldom amounts to one foot; and though the water is so clear that Algrc and Corals may be seen at the depth of several fathoms, and natives may be found who, having been trained as Pearl-divers, will remain thirty seconds under water, and bring you up any object you point out to tlnm, yet it is only a very meagre collection of any kind of Marine objects that can be obtained from the southern coast ol’Ceylon. This arises from the shifting of the sand, or rather of the bottom, with the change of the monsoon, which ploughs up every thing once a year, hy a inode of action in the water which is very-interesting in a geological point of view. In protected harbours, however, such as that of Point de Galle, and especially Trincomalie, and in narrow channelscand shallow waters, such as Paumbam and the Straits of Manaar, the prospects of the naturalist are very different; and doubtless in such situations many new species of marine plants and animals are waiting to be discovered. At the same time, l cannot help thinking it a very rude approximation to the law of the distribution of life and organization over the surface of our planet, which places it in relation with temperature only, and on this ground alone looks with expectation to the Tropics. It is to be remembered, that in proportion as we leave the Polar region, and all this while that the temperature is rising, the terrestrial magnetism, and all forces co-ordinate with it, are falling; and that they attain a mimnuin where the temperature* attains a maximum. It may be freely granted, indeed, that, provided the air be supplied at all times with moisture in sufficient abundance, the intertropical regions are the best for the developement of vegetation, and therefore, we may say, of vegetable life; but it may be affirmed with equal confidence, that they are not the best for the developement of cerebration, and therefore, may wenotsav, of uniinal life.—But on the subject of the Zoology of the Inland, I will only remark, that already in the Military Museum at Chatham, chiefly through the intelligent zeal of Dr. Templeton, n. a., son of the distinguished Botanist, there is a fine collection of the fishes of the coast of Ceylon, in spirits, accompanied by coloured figures of the species as they appeared when newly caught. There are also in the Island, at this moment, at least two zealous Zoologists and collectors, Dr. Kelaart, on the Military staff, an Kdinbur* graduate, and Mr. Edgar Layard, in the Civil service, brother to him of Nineveh. ' former has indeed, just published a Fauna (or some part of it) of the Island; and 1 1 am sure, would be found most satisfactory correspondents to any of the Naturali this Society, who may desire to communicate on the subject of the Zoology of Ceylo

on his landward as well as on his seaward baud, the road lying on a bar, planted huts and cocoa-nut trees, between the sea and a system of lagoons, often united by cai. made by the Dutch when they possessed the Maritime provinces of the Island, so as J.givea somewhat extensive system of inland navigation, which is alone practicable for small craft during the S. W. monsoon, that is, from May till November. Of these lagoons the water is usually brackish, and most of them arc open to the sea or not, according to the season.—They are chiefly remarkable to the European eye for the Pandanaceaj and the Rhiznphoraceaj on their margin, the branch-roots of these latter singular shrubs dipping everywhere into the water.

All around these lagoons, and, indeed, everywhere within a mile or two of the southern sca-boavd of Ceylon, where the soil is dry enough, and the air riot too dry, there is a sustained forest of cocoa nut trees, which yields both the billk of the food and the material of the houses of the natives,„ A few miles inland, however, this valuable Palm is seen only in clumps or topes around hamlets. And farther in the interior, everywhere except by the roadside, and in a few districts where the country has been cleared for growing Coffee, Rice, or “ small grain,” there is nothing but endless forest and jungle, abounding in foliage, hut seldom* valuable either for food or timber, and in its general aspect scarcely differing from what one sees in temperate climates, except in the occurrence here and there of a beautiful or curious flower (Ixora Coccinere, &c., Nepenthes, &c.,) of a palm or kindred form. The Botany of the Island was on the eve of receiving a full illustration, a few years ago, in a Flora by Dr. Gardner, author of “ Travels in the Brazils," at that time Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden in Ceylon, a Naturalist of the highest scientific attainments, and a man beloved by all who knew him; but he died in the midst of his days by a too rapid ride up the mountain pass of Rambodde, which burst a blood-vessel in his head. His place at Peradenia, the village where the Garden is situate, is now, however, happily supplied by Mr. G. H. K. Thwaites, a botanist already distinguished in this conntiy by his researches in the microscopic department, and from whom much may be expected in supplying what Dr. Gardner’s death left unfinished.

Geology 3*c,, of Ceylon.

Hut wiUioul wishing to destroy the prestige which exists in favour of CeyLm as a field * both for the Naturalist and the Dan ter, I cannot refrain from stating my o\y|i conviction,

that its chief interest and value, in comparison with most other tropical islands, will ultimately be found to lie in its history and its geographical position only,—its fusion/ in ancient times as a safe retreat for ljudhistical quietude and civilization, when chased out of the continent of India by a religion of more enthusiasm,—and in modern times its position, like that of a watch-tower for all India, with its noble harbour at Trincomalie, its general healthiness,»and easily accessible sanatorium at Ncwcra Ellia in the mountains, at an elevation of upwards of 5000 feet above the sea. This liumblc*vicw of Ceylon 1 take from considering its Geological structure, which is such that it can never can give anything better on the large scale than a very poor soil, and which holds out no promise of yielding cither Minerals or Metals worth the mining.

Hoping that it might be otherwise, the Government of Lord Torrington some years ago, when extravagant hopes of the resources of the Island were entertained, appointed Dr. Gygax, an accomplished Minerallogist who happened to be on the spot, as its Geologist, to explore the country with a view to economic objects. But the result was wholly negative. Except a very friable Plumbago, which has been long mined by the natives and exported by the English merchant, to line the hold of ships previously to putting in more valuable cargo, such asCollee, nothing of any value was found in situ. Dr. Gyga-x’s Report is now, doubtless, among the archives of the Colonial Office in Downing Street, and therefore accessible to the Naturalists of this country; and the collection of Minerals which he made for the Government of Ceylon was very handsomely given by tford Torrington to the charge of the Ceylon Branch of the Asiatic Society, in whose Museum at Colombo it is now deposited, and where it can be inspected by any one who has an hour to spare. Let the mineraiogical traveller prepare, for disappointment, however, if he expects Ceylon to realize in any measure the conception of an Island of Gems. Dr. Gvgax found only thirty-seven mineral species in all, the commonest, such as quartzes, felspars, and mica, included. His results have been published in the Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the Asiatic Socictv for 1847.

As to the productiveness of the Island in crops, great and many have been the disappointments already, most lately in Coffee and Sugar. The perpetual verdure of the Island, so grateful to the eye, has not at all realized its promise gratefully to the pocket. There can be no doubt, I think, that it i3 not the same lands, nor the same conditions of existence, which dcvelopc a ceaseless succession of foliage on the one hand, and a large supply of fruits, seeds, or saps, of economic value, on the other. To give foliage, warm, moist air in perpetual summer,.is all that is required, with the undisturbed fall of the leaf, and such salt as the soil seldom if ever fails to contain. But to give highly nitrogenous seeds, abundance of richly saccharine ?aps, and ainylacious roots, good soil, as well as the most favorable atmospherical conditions are indispensably required, especially in a tropical climate, wherer manure is not so manageable on the large scale as it is in a temperate. A winter is also indispensable for many most valuable products.

The soil of Ceylon generally is, as has been already insinuated, very poor. To explain this, it is enough to state t hat the rock-formation of the whole Island, like that of the mountain ranges of the Ghauts of Hindustan, to which Ceylon geologically belongs, is a quartzy micaceous Gneiss, very similar to what one meets with in the most sterile parts of the Highlands of Scotland or of New England. In the north of the Island indeed', on the sea coast, there is a Limestone containing recent shells and,corals: and in the iutorior everywhere there arc occasionally beds of a highly crystalline Dolomite. The Gneiss itself also sometimes coutains felspar enough to give a good soil by its disintegration, nay, sometimes kaolin, now as white as snow (the Kirimatte of the natives), now of a beautiful flesh colour. But generally there results from the disintegration of the rock^of the Island nothing better than a very poor sandy soil, constituting, when it reaches the sea, a sandstone which has been forming on the mainland of India previously to the elevation of Hindustan, and is still forming, in Ceylon at least, by the aid of a calcareous cement abundantly resulting from the solution of fragments of shells and corals, undergoing in the sea a secular digestion at a temperature of upwards of $0° Fahreuheit all the year around. Besides this Sandstone, which, in a hand specimen, can often not be distinguished from the parent Gneiss, there is also to be found in various places the remains of a breccia, held together by a similar calcareous cement, containing mineral fragments which shew that the geology of Ceylon had in some former age been as interesting as it is now stupid; for in the remains of this breccia which 1 have met with, small crystals of Sapphire, Ruby, Tourmaline, Clirysoberyl, magnetic Iron ore, &c.,are abundantly to be found : and I suppose that the gravel in which diggings for gems are still carried on in the interior (ltalnapoora, Saffragam, Avishavelle), is from the same source, viz., Metamorphic^Rocks now weathered away, highly crystalline

and drusy; ^iosc which wc now find in tlic Island being the more hardly pressed and hurriedly heatec- and cooled remainder,—a remainder so sadly concrete, hi deed, and crushed, that, much al I have sought, I never yet found what could be regarded as a druse of any kind,—scarcely, indeed, a single crystal. Nay, not even in the hands of the dealer* have I ever seen a crystal which was of any morphological perfection or scientific interest. For years, indeed, they brought me nothing but insignificant pieces, or small prisms of rock crystal. And here, for the benefit of any future Mineralogical visitor of the Island, I may add, that the same-will happen to him, unless, instead of asking the natives to bring him “ crystals,” he tells them to bring “ devil-cut stones,”—for such is their theory of • crystallography. After all, however, he will wait long before he can finger a single fine specimen of any kind, even of the characteristic minerals of the Island, such as Corundum, Spinel, Tourmaline, or Zircon. The richness of Ceylon as a gem-producing country has been greatly over-estimated, the fact being, that this Island was merely an emporium of gems H orn all Asia, brought by traders who came for Cinnamon and Pearls while the pearl fishery subsisted. At the present moment the cost of any gem that is really valuable, when oflered by a Ceylon dealer who knows his business, is as high in Colombo as it is In London, while that of all inferior gems is much higher.

The Gneiss displays in dillerent localities all those freaks for which it is so remarkably.. in other countries.' Perhaps it would not be easy, however, to match in beauty and in coiflp

centric lamellar structure the hill of Gneiss about four miles beyqnd Piagala (about half "'ay between Colombo and Point dc Galle), on the top of which a Budhist temple stands. Here (as may be seen in a qt.urry within a hundred yards of the turnpike road) the Garnet, so frequent in gneiss everywhere, has been replaced by a much brighter gem, and some band specimens present a crystalline ground, seemingly as thickly studded with Jiubies as beauty would dictate. The lamellar structure on the mountain-top is also so perfect, that

the hill were reduced to the size of an onion, the layers would be much thinner and more regular than those of an onion, and some of them at least as easily separable from those underlying them. Tins gneiss the natives cut for religious architecture into pillars, or rather indeed beams, resembling those of wood in their dimensions; and destined to be used instead of wood in the construction of their temples, which thus prove to be far more durable than those of Europe, and in their eyes more in keeping with that eternity from which they date their religious faith, and to which they believe that it will extend.

But the most interesting feature in this Gneiss of the Ghauts of Ceylon is, that immense beds of it often contain disseminated through them, grains of Magnetic Iron ore in great abundance, and, as we may say, forming a constituent of the rock. Hcuec, in my opinion, the origin of the most peculiar feature in the Geology of Southern India, the Lateritc, that seemingly ill-burned,brick-like, irregularly vesicular clay-ironstone rock, which is so abundant all over the Ghauts, both eastern and western, and around the Bay of Bengal, but, I believe has not been met with out of Southern Asia. For a detailed description of it, as also of the various hypotheses, which have been proposed to account for it, I refer to the elaborate papers on “The Geology of Southern India,” by Captain Newbold, in the various volumes of the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Loudon. It is a hydrous clay-ironstone, so soft in situ as to admit of being easily cut into square blocks of uuy required dimensions, but after exposure hardening more and more for many generations. But here I shall only

, state what appears to me to be the theory of its Gneiss, which granting, the various phenomena it displays, may, I think, be easily accounted for.

This, then is to be ailirmed respecting the Lateritc of Ceylon as an indisputable fact, that, in the compass of a single yard in depth, nay, sometimes even in a hand specimen, a perfect transition may be observed from gneiss on the one. Land, into Laterite on the other.This, Dr. Gardner, already allude'd to in this paper, has recorded as the undoubted result of his own observations, in U valuable sketch of the Geology of Ceylon, to be found in the Appendix of “ Lee’s Translation of Ribeyro’s History of the Island,” and I have often seen it myself. Add to this, that those portions of the-rock which are subject to such transformations into Lateritc are, according to my observation, always of that kind already described, which contains magnetic iron ore disseminated through it, and I think the phenomenon of the conversion of Gneiss into Laterite is explained—not indeed by having recourse to the ordinary conception of weathering, which is quite inadequate, but to the general theory of catalytic action, takiug into account the peculiarity of magnetic iron ore when viewed in its chemical formula. „

Thus there can, I think, bo no doubt that Berzelius hit upon the true composition of this ore, when he regarded its atom as consisting of one of red-oxide of iron, in union with ono of protoxide. Now, of such a species it is to be observed, that though it may bo very permanent when existing in certain circumstances, and especially under the conservative influence of quantity, and when insulated from the action of dissimilar bodies upon it, yet it cannot be expected to be very permanent whbn existing in minute grains disseminated

through a hetcrogenoiy; rock, such as Gneiss. Even from what may be seenUn the labo- n ratoiy, it Ss to be iifferred that the protoxide in the atom must tend to beetle peroxide,

and to simplify the species into a lnematitic form, ultimately the hydrous oxide of iron. And ithdor that pelagic pressure and heat in which it appears that the metamorphic rocks have been generated, such a transformation we may certainly look for. But, according to the most recent theory of a true metamorphic action (fermentation, Liebig); the grains of magnetic iron ore. cannot undergo such a change themselves, without tending to involve the medium jn which they exist in an analogous change; and therefore we are to expect them to tend to reduce the constituents of the gneiss into a state analogous to the hydrous oxide of iron as usually found, that is, into that earthy and mechanical state in which we find them in the Laterite. As to the source of the oxygen required for the conversion, we may say in the meantime, as answerable to the present state of chemical theory, that it might be obtained from the ocean, or from without somehow. It- will remain to be enquired hereafter, whether it has not been obtained from the rock-stud* itself, thus giving, by its departure, grains which would otherwise have crystallized into Mica, as Hornblende, a mineral species containing less oxygen than mica, and predominating to a remarkable extent in India by the side of the Laterite.^Laterite, according to this view, would be one of the legitimate family of metamorphic rocks. And, supposing it to be elevated from the bed of the ocean, in due time, and exposed to all the ordinary causes of rock formation, we should have it distributed just as we fiml.it:—(1) now forming a thin bed or seam, simulating a vein in gneiss of some plutonic rotk (as at Mount Lavinia); this vein-like form being that o? the original seam or thin bed of gneiss which contained the disseminated iron ;—(2) now forming (after having been generated in the form of mud, or decomposed, and depos ted by water and recomposed) immense overlying beds, quite distinct in every feature from the gneiss or other rocks beneath, and analogous to the literal sandstone, resulting from the atmospherical disintegration of the gneiss, which has been already alluded to. I will only add, that this singular rock yields a soil which, when so cultivated and compounded as to keep it open in spite of the caking cfle< ts of the tropical showers, and when deep enough to prevent the scorching of the plants that grow in it, possesses every good quality. It appears to be (doubtless from the large quantity of hydrous oxide of iron in it) peculiarly suited for detaining the ammonia of the atmosphere, and therefore for yielding nitrogen to' vegetation. And hence its value for growing plants which yield the proteinc compounds in large quantity, and therefore for producing food of a kind valuable everywhere, but especially in a country, like Ceylon, where the only cereal that can be grown is Rice, a grain very defective in gluten, though otherwise invaluable, and, when duly supplemented by nitrogenated matter, yielding what seems to me the very best kind of food possible for man, woman, aud child, if one kind only were to be had, viz., Curry and Rice, the staff of life in India,

OBSERVATIONSfios

THE VEGETABLE PRODUCTS OF CEYLON. ;( Continued from the Almanac for 1853. J

Until I shall have more time and leisure, and a wider field of investigation is presented to me, I purpose making annually such additional Observations under oach head of product already enumerated, as may occur in the course of my enquiries.

Starch:—This important aliment has only hitherto been obtained from (he Arrowroot, to any extent; but starch suited for dietetic and other purposes may, I think, be prepared from many plants indigenous to the Island ; and the subject seems to be deserving of more attention than has been paid to it.

The Caryota urens, the Kiltul of the Singlale.se, is one of the most useful Palms " of the Island, and since my arrival at Badulki I have learned that the Singhalese fell this palm about the beginning of the season for cultivating paddy, making use. of the timber for agricultural implements, while they extract the starch for food.It is the general belief of the people that starch abounds in the stem during one particular season of the year, which is said to be in the month of October. But this docs not prove invariably the ease. The best means by which to judge of the presence of starch is by actual experiment. The following method of doing this , may be adopted. Cut or bore a hole into the stem and extract a little of the pith or more correctly the cellular tissue thereof; squeeze it in a tumbler of clean water anil allow it to stand for a few minutes. The starch, if any, will then settle down at the bottom.

The Singhalese extract the starch by a very rude process. They pound the pith in their rice mortars and strain it through a cloth tied over a.large chatty containing water. A good deal of astringent matter however passes along with the granules of the starch; to remedy which it is subjected to two or three washings. This substance is then removed to another chatty and dried in the sun, and thus a very impure and brown coloured starch is obtained. It is difficult to separate the astringent matter so as to render the granules white and line, unless we first precipitate the tannin with white of eggs into a vessel, and strain it through cloth.A fine clean stauh may in this way be obtained. I had the pleasure of sending a quantity of this kind to the Ceylon Asiatic Society.

The .Singhalese make use of this starch for food, after boiling it in steam, which changes it to a gum-like mass, called by them “Ta'lapa”. It is eaten chietly during times of scarcity. They also carefully preserve small quantities of the starch in rags, hung up in smoke, to apply to any bruise or slight cut, as it possesses the property of adhesive plaster; namely, of healing a wound, as it is said, by “ the firs* :~*cntion.”

li,: palm blossoms when it »s about 20 years old, and continues to throw out from the axils of the leaves 2 to 3 spadices each year, for four or five years, when it begins to decay. It is after the saccharine sap has been exhausted from the blossom, that the starch is deposited in the stent.

The preparation of Pa’£o from this plant deserves to be tried; although I have after repeated attempts failed to produce the Pago of commerce; some necessary steps in the preparation appearing to he still kept a secret by persons who manufacture the article. Dr. Ilovle says, the fecula “seems to be first maje into a paste with water, and then, granulating in drying, is rubb.ed int.osago of different sizes; but the processes are not well ascertained.”

Dr. Pereira, one of the best authorities on the subject, says,—“The manufacture of Sago varies somewhat in different localities. In the Moluccas it is procured ns follows:—When the tree is sufficiently mature, it is cut down near the root, and the trunk subdivided into portions of six or seven feet long, each of which is split into two parts. From these the medullary matter is extracted, and with an instrument of bamboo or hard wood, is reduced to powder, like saw-dust. This is mixed with water, which is then strained by a sieve. The filtered liqour deposits the farina, which, after two or more euulcorations, is fit for use. This is raw :ago meal.

nibbed intoTVr exportation, the finest meal is mixed with water, and the paste small grains of the size andYorm of coriander seeds. Within the las# few years, Alio Chinese of Malacca have invented a process by which they refine sago so as to give it a tine pearly lustre. The quantity of sago afforded- by the sago-palm is prodigious. Five and six hundred pounds is not an unusual produce for one tree.”

A line sago may be extracted from the stem of the Ci/cas circinalis.The cellular tissue of the stem of tho,Tallipot Palm (Corypha umbraevlifera) con

tains dli abundance of ficcula; but this is said to be unwholesome and unfit for use.Another inferior kind of starch, is prepared from the seeds of the Valeria Indica,

denominated by the Singhalese “ I-Iall pitte.” The fresh seeds are rasped and pounded and put into a piece of cloth tied over a basket,—water is then poured over them or they arc placed under water in a running stream, or put into a bag and macerated in water for several days. The washing removes the intense bitterness of the seed and the starch subsides at the bottom of the basket or bag. Tho starch is eaten after it has been boiled in steam.

At Bintcnuca kind of starch is prepared from the Nympha stcllala “Olu hall” of the Singhalese, which affords food for the inhabitants for some months. This starch

* is much used in some parts of the low country.1 have extracted small quantities of starch from the rhizoma of the Canna glauca,

which is called “ tows les mois”. The plant is called in Singhalese “ Rata latsuranaThe two following kinds obtained from Bintenuc, qve but imperfectly known,

“ Opulu pitte,” and “ Bala pitte.”1 have lately met with a curious black variety of Paddy, growing in the jungles

of this district, which the Singhalese call “ Ooroo wee.” A few grains of it put into a pot of rice will resist the action of boiling. When any one wishes to play off a practical joke on his neighbours at a feast or any other public occasion, he sccrcctlv introduces into the rice chatty a few grains of “ Oorooweethe rice thus remains unboiled, undergoing indeed scarcely any change whatever.

Gum-Resin.—For Gums, see the Tabular view of the most important Vegetable Products of Ceylon.

One of the most useful of the indigenous gum-resins is that which is known as the East Indian Kino,' being the produce of the Pterocarpus JIarsujrium. Roxb. In March 1853, I succeeded in collecting large quantities of this gum from trees growing on the barren hills covered with lemon grass in and around Badulla. The gum Hows out on longitudinal incisions being made into the bark, which being fleshy and very thick, is easily done. The guin exudes from red points in the hark thus cut, and trickles down in a tenacious semi-fluid form. This is collected in a cocoanut shell, and on exposure to the sun in flat plates soon hardens into angular brittle shining fragments, of a dark ruby colour, highly astringent, and readily soluble in hot water. The gum chauges into a blood red colour by alkalies, which, however, destroy its astringent properties. It is precipitated by the salts of iron, silver, lead, &c.—with sulphate of iron it forms a fine ink.

The use of this valuable gum is so well known, as scarcely to need description. It is commonly used iu medicine for its astringent properties, especially in diarrhea, chronic dysentery, and other eases where such remedies are indicated.

According to the best authorities, this tree produces the genuine Gum Kino of On the Malabar coast, incisions are made into the bark during the time

the tree is iu blossom; as qt this period the gum, it is said, flows out in greatest abundance. This is practised on a farm named Anjarakandy, a few miles ofl’ Tel- licherry, as stated by Dr Royle on the authority of Air. Brown of that place.

The following is a description 'of the Malabar Kino tree:“ Pterocarpus Marsupium, Roxb. A lofty tree, with the outer coat of the bark

brown, inner red, fibrous and astringent; leaves subifarious, alternate, leaflets 5-7 alternate, elliptic, emarginate, above shining and of a deep green colour, from 3 to 5 inches long; panicles terminal; petals white with a tinge of yellow, long clawed, all waved or crested on the margins; stamens 10, united into one body near the base, but soon splitting into two bodies of five each; ovary generally two-celled; legume long-stalked, the under three-fourths orbicular, the upper side straight; the whole surrounded with a waved veined membraneous wing, rugose and woody in the centre; generally one, sometimes two-celled; seed solitary, kidney-shaped.

(Signed) E. B. Cargill.”I have not been able to afford the information, required, as I could not succeed

in securing the services of a native Singhalese, who would undertake to make a collection of a owt. of the Gum. The people arc vciy averse to the performance of any work which is novel to them in character, and which requires any degree of energetic perseverance, or the real object of which they do not comprehend. They never think of the benefit which must result to the country' at large from any article becoming one of export, and so possessing a commercial value. It appears to me that the cheapest mode of collecting it would be to direct one person to receive quantities of the Gum for payment, from natives living in different parts of the country, who can only be roused from their lethargy by'that all powerful stimulus, money'. As regards the quantity obtainable, 1 should say' that there will be enough found to make it an article of trade. My own opinion, founded on a personal knowledge of the people, is, that Government should encourage them in every way possible in regard to the devclopement of the Vegetable resources of the country'. This is of paramount importance. It may be done through the agency of the 1 Ieadmen under whom the people are placed. Money prizes will be the only means of stimulating them to action, and curing them of that apathy for which they' aro so remarkable.

I take this opportunity of recommending the cultivation of the tree on the more unproductive hills, of which every' Coffee Estate in this Island is more or less composed. Kothing beyond the simple expense of planting it will be required, and in time it will not fail to prove asourcc of profit. It may be easily propagated by’ cuttings.

From the Ceylon Times, Sth April, 1853.“Mr. Ondaatje ofBadulla, has forwarded to us a sample of the extract or Gum

called Kiuo, an astringent used in Medicine. Ilitherto it has been unnoticed as indigenous to Ceylon or for any useful purposes.

“ The specimen forwarded to us consists of a quantity of Gum of a brittle texture, of a deep ruby' or garnet colour, which on trituration becomes of a pale pink; the taste is strongly astringent, like the gambecr of the Straits, but much more powerful. It dissolves readily in water, to which*it imparts its own beautiful colour.

“ To us it appears that it would be impossible to produce a gum of a finer quality than the sample we have.”

There is another variety of the Kino, which exudes during hot weather from natural fissures and wounds in the bark of the Butca frondosa. It is known in commerce by the name of Bengal Kino or Gum butca; being closely' allied to the Kino of Pterocarpus in its chemical and medicinal properties. The natives of India use it for tanning, but as it imparts to the leather a%red colour, it is considered objectionable by' European tanners, who therefore do not like to use it. It is also employed for precipitating Indigo. Sulphate of Iron changes a solution of it into good durable ink.

The flower yields a dye, an account of which will be given under the proper head. , The Lac insect is also found on the branches of this tree. It belongs to one of the most ornamental species of plants in the Island, having largo pendulous racemes of orange flowers, which appear after all the leaves have fallen off. The tree resembles the Erythrina indica, the “ Erabodu” of the Singhalese; being found in great abundance in Bintcnno, whence I obtained a specimen of the gum and plant, which latter is known to the Singhalese under the name of Kiela.

The natives have an old saying, by' which they compare a handsome person without meutal qualities to the Kiel a flower, which is beautifully red, but gives no scent whatever.

“A tree; branches very irregularly, bent in various directions. Young shoots downy. Leaves alternate, spreading, temate, from 8 to 16 inches long; leaflets cmarginate or rounded at the apex, leathery* above, shining, and pretty smooth; below slightly' hairy, entire, the lateral ones obliquely’ oval, from 4 to 6 inches long,

and from 3 to -1l^oad, the terminal one obovate, and considerably larger!' round, when yoflng dowuy, a* long as the leaflets. Stipules of the petioles recurved, downy, those of the lcatlets subulate. Racemes terminal, axillary, forming tiTberositics over the naked woody branchlets, rigid, covered with a soft grccmsli- purple down. "Flowers papilionaceous, pendulous, numerous, stalked, fascicled, very large, their ground colour a beautiful deep red, shaded with orange and silver coloured down, which gives them a most elegant appearance. Pedicels round, about ;'ci inch long, jointed near tin?apex, and covered with the same greenish, velvet like down. Bractes lanceolate, deciduous, one below the insertion of each pedicel, and two smaller pressing on the calyx. Calyx campanulatc, leathery, 2-lipped; the upper lip large, scarcely cmarginate; the tinder one 3-toothed, covered with the same dark-green down that the racemes and pedicels arc covered with. Vexillttm reflexed, ovate, pointed, very little longer than the wings; wings ascending, lanceolate, the length of the keel; keel 2 parted, ascending, large, semilunatc the length of the wings and vexillum; filaments 1 and 9, ascending in a regular semicircle, about as long as the corolla. Anthers equal, linear, erect. Ovary short, thick, stalked, lanceolate, downy. Style ascending, a little longer than the filaments. Stigma small, glandular. Legume stalked, pendulous, linear, thin, downy, about G inches long. Seeds, 4, lodged near the point of the legume, oval, much compressed, smooth, brown, about 1^ inches long and about 1 broad. Juice, which naturally exudes from cracks and wounds in the bark, hardens into a most beautiful ruby coloured brittle astringent gum. It dissolves perfectly in water and partially in spirits. Infusions of the flowers dye cotton clotli, previously impregnated with a solution of alum, of a beautiful bright yellow; a little alkali changes it to a deep reddish orange. Lac insects arc frequent on the small branches and petioles. Guibourt considers that this plant produces the Cacliouen masse or Cachou lucide; butMr. Pereira doubts it.”—Med. Guz. xx. 103. (Lindlcy's Flora Medica).

Petiolesmall,

A red juice flows from the wild Nutmeg on incisions being made into the bark. This hardens into laminated resinous pieces, red and transparent, and forms a

blood:'variety of the substance known In Commerce under the name of “Dragon'sProfessor Lindlcy states, on the authority of Endlichcr, that a species of Myris-

tica of the Phillipines “yields a crimson juice which is collected from incisions in the trunk, and used as a substitute for Dragon’s blood.”

Several species of Calamus, which yield the Rattan Canes of Commerce, also produce Dragon’s blood, and it is probable that the indigenous species, C. rudentum, Lour., &c., yield this product.

A resinous fluid exudes from the Vatcria indica, which hardens into large clear masses from a pale to a light yellow. This resin is known in Commerce under the name of East Indian Copal, and is sold in England as Gum anime to which it has a strong resemblance.

Dr. Wight informs us, that the resin is used in Malabar for making candles, which “ diffuse in burning an agreeable fragrance, give a clear bright light, with little smoke, and consume the wick without snuffing. Some of these candles that were sent home, were highly prized and sold for very high prices.” But Professor Lindlcy says, owing to the heavy duties 1 cried upon them the importation has ceased.

From this tree Dr. Wight states “the natives i# South India obtained the resin by cutting a notch in the tree, which sloping inwards and downwards; the resin collects there and soon hardens.” I am not aware that the Singhalese have recourse to such a method for extracting the resin.

The following is Dr. Roxburgh’s description of the tree.“The young shoots, and all tender parts except the leaves are covered with fine

stellate pubescence, leaves alternate, petioled, oblong, entire, from cmarginate to obtuse, pointed, smooth, coriaceous, from four to eight inches long and two to four broad, petioles round, about an inch long; stipules oblong, panicles terminal, ramificatious rather remote; flowers rather remote, pcdicolled, pretty large; bractes oblong, one-flowered; calyx 5, cleft to the base, divisions obloug, obtuse, villous on the outside, corolla fivc-pctalled, petals oval, cmarginate, broader but very little longer than divisions of the calyx, filaments from 40 to 50, short, broad,

. inserted between the petals and the base of the germ, anthers linear, with a single filiform beak; germ superior," conic, downy, threc-ccllcd, cells containing three ovules each, attached to the top of the axis, style longer than the stamens, stigma acute, pcricarpium a coriaceous, fleshy, oblong, obtuse, onc-cellcd, tlircc-vafved capsule, general size about 2£ inches^ong and 1} in diameter, seed solitary of same shape as the capsule.” J *

35' 1in black resinous juice, whence the black varnishes used in China ax^l India are obtain

ed. The tree which yields this rosin is placed in Mooij’s Catalogue of Ceylon plants, ns “ Semetfirpus obovatum," without the economic use to which it may be applied being specified. The Singhalese name it “Undidla Gaha.” From natural fissmfs in the bark, there runs out a clammy juice, which at first white, becomes after • wards black by exposure to the sun’s rays, hardenii% into masses of difl’erent sizes, ■with pieces adhering. Tlie juice also" drops on the ground around the tree, forming flattened pieces, but which being mixed with earth, leaves, a%l other impurities, ought to be melted and strained through coarse cloth.

The resin is hard, breaks with a smooth shining fracture, burns with a bright flame, melts in fire, and is soluble in turpentine, insoluble in water, and adheres

. strongly to wood and metal. It is free from acridity.The fresh juice which is emitted in felling the tree is very acrid, inflaming the

skin, which becomes covered with pimples. These, however, soon disappear and have never been known to be dangerous. The formula I adopt for using this varnish is as follows:—

To a saturated solution of Vatcria resin (the “Hal dununeIJa ” of the Singhalese), in oil of turpentine, add by degrees small pieces of the black resin and put it into a bottle and shake it well until the whole is dissolved, then apply it to wood or metal, which will give a varnish of great lustre and beauty. 0

■Di/es and Colours.—Th>?7?/.ra oxellana, which yields the Arnotto of commerce, is well known to be a valuable dye. It is sticky and of a Vermillion colour, being soluble in alcohol and any alkaline liquid. It produces an orange colour in solutions of ahun, and a citron-yellow colour with solution of protoxide of copper.

“According to Fee, this substance is obtained by heaping up the seeds in water for several weeks or months, and afterwards pressing them, when the colouring matter separates and is subsequently precipitated in the water. Or the pulp is separated by washing and maceration, and the colouring matter precipitated by the aid of an acid, and caught upon fine sieves.

“Independently of the use of Arnotto for staining Cheese and Butter, the Indians stain their persons with it, and thus, it is said, destroy the subcutaneous vermin with which they are infested. It acts as a purgative taken internally. It is used for dyeing silks golden yellow, which is done by steeping the fabric in an alkaline solution of Arnotto; and orange red, by exposing them afterward to the action of a dilute acid. It is also used to dye cotton yellow, with the aluminntc of potash as the mordant.” (Knight's English Cgclopcedia). The tree grows very luxuriantly in such parts of the Kandyan country as possess a moist rich soil. It is called in Singhalese “Kalia gaha.”

The flowers of the Buteafrondosa, when infused, produce a fine yellow colour, and with mordants of alum, or alum and qream of tartar, a beautiful bright yellow.It is used in India to dye unprepared cotton cloth, but the dye is a fugitive one.

Dr. Roxburgh states, “that the juice of the fresh flowers, if diluted with alum water and rendered perfectly clear by depuration, then evaporated by the heat of the sun into a soft extract, produce a brighter water colour than any Gamboge, and retains its bright colour for a length of time. Infusion of the dried flowers yield an extract, very little, if anything inferior to this last mentioned. They yield also a durable yellow lake, and all these in a large proportion.” The tree growsin great abundance in Bintenne. The Singhalese call it KeliaGahTt.

Lac.—On the 7th October 1S53,1 submitted to Dr. Lamprey, Secretary of the Ceylon Asiatic Society, a^spcciinen of Lac found on the branches of Ggroearpus Jacquini, growing in Bintenne.

The Lac yields to boiling water a red dye, and with solution of ahun strikes a beautiful carmine. The following is the result of Dr. Lamprey’s examination of its properties:

“I find that it is the produce of the Chcrmcs Lacca, many of which insects were contained in its cellular structure. It is from the bodies of these insects that the colouring matter is derived, and judging from the sample you sent, they yield a very rich carmine or crimson. The residue or rather the substance composing the cells consists of Lac of a quality perhaps not inferior to the Shell Lac of commerce. There is no doubt that if it could be collected in quantity, it would find a ready demand in the Market.”

The Kandyans mix this Lac and Cinnamon stone, to make their grinding stones for sharpening tools of all kinds.

Vegetable fibre.—The manufacture of paper by the Kamlians during the period the country was u#der Xative rule, is a subject, which 1 conceive is fraught with*

much local interest, nor am I aware that public attention has before bceif. directed to it. * It seems* probable, frqjn the intercourse that once subsisted between the ancient inhabitants of the Island and the Chinese, especially in connection with tfie Cinnamon trade, that the Singhalese derived their knowledge of manufacturing paper from the latter, who, it is well known, have made it from the liber, or inner hark of a species of Morns, Cofton, and Bamboo, from time immemorial. Whilst botanizing in the jungles of Badulla, a species ot Fig was poiuted out to me bv an old Kaitfyan doctor, which, he said, hifd been formerly used to make paper from. Ho knew nothing himself, however, of the process by which this was effected. On further inquiry I ascertained from another aged Kandyan, that the plant to winch my notice had been first called was of a different species from that which had been nsed by bis countrymen for making paper. This individual himself had never made any, but understood the method that had been resorted to for tlic purpose, as his ancestors had to supply the stores of the Kings of Kandy with paper, being that branch of the general sendee that had been imposed on them; a service better known by the name of “Bajakaria,” or compulsory labour. Tho paper thus manufactured by them was not used for the purpose of writing upon, but for making cartridges for gunpowder. The people on whom this duty devolved were the natives of Baddcgammc in the district of Badulla, who received grants of land in consideration of the service they rendered to the State.

The tree from which the Kandyans made their paper is a species of the Ficus, called in Singhalese “Nanitol,” which is found in grc&c abundance even.’ where in this country. It attaches itself in the first instance to the trunk of some forest tree, growing from seed previously deposited there by birds, as is observed in other instances of figs growing on trees. It stem, small at first, becomes immensely large afterwards, as is tlie cases, with the fig in tropical countries, thus gradually encasing tho tree which supports it. The supporting tree at length dies, choked by its too near neighbour: after a while the whole tree decays, nor do any of it remain. The fig then becomes self-supporting from the ground, attaining to a considerable height.

The leaves are alternate, cuncate, having the property of causing a very unpleasant sensation in the skin; a property common to this family of plants.

The mode adopted by the Kandyans for making paper is simple enough. In the Arts, as practised by the Asiatics, a few rude implements are all that are employed to produce the most beautiful specimens of Industrial art, some of which were objects of much admiration at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The following is the Kandyan mode of making paper. From the tender branches the whole of the hark is stripped, and afterwards the inner bark, (liber) which is of great tenacity, is separated by the hand from the outer skin, and is put into a large eartliern pot and boiled with the ashe3 of the Erythrina indica (Erabodu, Sing.) until it becomes soft, when it is remoyed and beaten with a wooden mallet on a stone, till it assumes the consistency of dough. It is next put into water, and churned with the hand, which process soon converts it to a fine homogeneous emulsion. This is poured into a frame, having a cloth bottom iloating in water. It is again agitated with tho hand until the whole becomes uniformly spread over the cloth on which it settles down smoothly. The frame being then withdrawn from the water, which is allowed to drain off gradually, is next put to dry in tho sun. When dry the paper thus formed is easily removed from the cloth bottom, and becomes soon fit for u£C. It is very tough, and remarkable for its tenacity, and docs not appear to he liable to the ravages of insects, as I have seen a specimen of the paper made by tlie Kandyans about 50 years ago,""which is still in excellent preservation, although no very great care seems to have been taken of it. It is only adapted for waiting upon with Indian ink.

I have myself manufactured paper according to the above method, specimens of which have been submitted to the Ceylon Asiatic Society, with some paper made of the inner bark of the Ceylon Sack tree.

By a process similar to the above the well known Nepaul paper is manufactured in India, where it forms a trade of some importance. But the plant from which this paper is made is altogether a different one. It is the Daphne cannabina. The Kepaulese use Oak ashes, and smooth their paper with a shell: they prefer paper made by themselves to any other, as being more tough and durable.

I observe in Lindley’s Vegetable Kingdom, p. 268, that there is another instance of paper being manufactured from the Broussmelia papyrifera, the paper Mulberry, another species of tho lig tribe. Tli£ Chinese commonly manufacture paper from the Bamboo, by the following method:—

near the ground, and then sorted into parcels according to their age, and tied up in small bundles. The younger the bambpo, the better is tho

37 i4quality V the paper made from it. The bundles arc thrown into a reservoir of mud and water, and buried in the ooze for about a fortnight to soften them. » They ^ arc then t) ken out, cut into pieces of a proper Icngtfi, and put into mortars with u little water, to be pounded to a pulp with large wooden pestles. This semifluid mass, after being cleansed of the coarsest parts, is transferred to a great tub of water, and additions of the substance are made, until the whole becomes of sufficient consistence to form paper. Then a workman takes up a sheet with a mould or frame of the proper dimensions, which ;<s constructed of bamboo in small strips, made smooth and round like wire. The pulp is continually agitated by other bands, while one is taking up the sheets, which arc then laid upon smooth tables to dry. According to others, the paper is dried by placing the newly made sheets upon a heated wall, and rubbing them with brushes until diy. This paper is unfit for writing on with liquid ink, and is of a yellowish colour The Chinese size it by dipping the sheets into a solution of fish glue and alum, either during or after the first process of making it. The sheets are usually three feet and a half in length, and two in breadth. The fine paper used for letters is polished, after sizing, by rubbing it with smooth stones.”

The black fibre from the leaf stalks of the Caryota vrens (Kittul) is manufactured into Hope which is of greath strength and durability, being used for tying wild Elephants. The “Eodyahs,” or outcasts among the Kandyans, generally make this rope, preparing the fibres and twisting them into rope simply with the hand, which displays exnaordinarv dexterity, when the regularity and compactness of the work are considered. According to Professor Lindlcy, a similar black fibre under the name of “ Yegctable bristles ” is largely imported into England for making brooms, for which the above is well adapted. Wo learn from the same able authority, that a similar substance is yielded by another species of Palm,Saguerus saccltarificr, which is used for making brooms, cables, rope, and stitching together thatch. Some brushes fur common purposes were made with the lvittul fibre, and 1 found them to answer very well.

The Singhalese call the fibre “ Kittul Kandi ” or “ Kittul tat.” There is a woolly material found at the base of the leaves of the Kittul, which the same Botanist says is used for caulking ships. The Singhalese employ it for making tinder, which is done in the following manner. After having collected a sufficient quantity of the material, which they call “Kittul Poolung," and well drying it. in the sun, they mix it with the ashes of the leaves of the solatium vcriusifialium (Ilakirilla, Sing.) Vitcx trifolia, and lime rind, and thus is made native tinder.A better tinder may be made by steeping the woolly material in solution of Mitre, and drying it in the sun.

I am given to understand that tinder made of the same substance is used in China, where it is commonly called “Punk.” The Chinese tinder box is a neat little leather bag, containing the prepared wool and a piece of flint. A piece of steel is attached to the side of the bag by which a light is readily struck.

Timber Trees.—Under this head two important additions to my former list arc to be here made. One of them, whose scientific name I have not yet determined upon, is called in Singhalese “ Modya." It is found in the District of Badulla, and in texture and compactness resembles the Box. Conceiving it might be adapted for wood engravings, I submitted a specimen of the wood to a gentleman in Colombo, who kindly favoured me with the result of%his trial, as will appear from the following extract from his interesting communication, dated 18tU October,1853: “the two accompanying proofs were primed off tbe wood after being • engraved; the subject is rude, and the style rough, but the object sought is attained; the wood is adapted for engraving. It is harder and somewhat more difficult to work than box, and perhaps the liner, or I should say the finest style of wood engraving could not be executed upon it. That, however, only a professional wood- engraver could decide upon. For all ordinary and for most catfra-ordinaxy styles of work, my opinion is, that the wood is exceedingly well adapted.”

Another is the Gmeiina urburca, Roxb. the wood of which resembles teak in many respects. It is lighter than teak, but the grain ,is somewhat closer. No injurious effects follow from its being umler water, and it is not readily attacked by insects. The most durable canoes are constructed in India from the wood.It is adapted for turnery ware of all kinds.

The Cet/lon Cardamom, or Efcttaria Major, Smith.—This plant having been confounded by Botanists with the Amomtdn Grana paradisi, Smith., the late Dr.Pereira had specimens of it sent to him from Ceylon lor examination.

3This most eminent writer on Materia Medica, whose recent demise cannot but bo felt as a severe'loss to science, has conclusively proved that the Ceylon plant called

Leaves sessile on their sheaths, silky beneath, acuminate; the shorter ones lanceolate, the larger ones oblong-, lanceolate: breadth 2 to 3 inches,, length not exceeding 15J inches. Sheaths about half the length of the leaves, with a roundish ligula. Scape from the upper pa if of the rhizome, flexuose, jointed, nine inches lofig, branched; the branches alternate, one from each joint of the scape, sub-erect, half an iuch long, supporting two or three pedicels of about 3-lOths of of an inch. Bracte solitary, sheathing at each joint of the scape, withered; partial ones, solitary, ovate, acute. Flowers not present. Capsules one or two on each branch of the scape, with the permanent calyx attached to them: their characters arc described in the text.”

I find that the plant growing in the district of Badulla differs, though not in material points, from that which has been described by Dr. Pereira.

The plant appears to be cultivated in Matura, SatVragam and Kandy; but I have yet seen the mode of cultivating it as followed by the Singhalese. Tho com

mercial value of it is one-third of that of the Malabar kind.The following extract is given in the hope that it will be interesting to many to

be acquainted with fiie mode of cultivating the Malabar Cardamom in its native country, as this is an important article of trade in Ceylon.©

The Cardamom Farms. “The spots chosen for these,” writes Mr. White, “called in the Malabar language Fla-Kandy, literally signifying Cardamom plots, are cither level or gently sloping surfaces on the highest range of the Ghauts, after passing the first declivity from their base. The extent of climate hitherto known in Malabar to produce them, lies between ll°and 12°30f North latitude or thereabouts.

“ The months of February and March are, on account of the prevailing dry weather, selected by the cultivators as the most proper for commencing their labours, the first part of which consists in cutting down ,tlic large and small trees promiscuously, leaving of the former, standing at nearly equal distances, certain tall and stately individuals, adapted to afford that degree of perpendicular shade which experience teaches them to be most favourable lor the future crops. The grass aud weeds are then cleared away; and the ground disencumbered from the roots of the brushwood; the large trees' lie where they fall; the shrubs, roots and grass arc piled up in different small heaps, and their spontaneous and gradual decomposition fertilizes the space they cover.

“ The size of the Ela-Kandy is various. The largest Mr. White saw among fifty, did not exceed sixty yards in diameter. Their form varies likewise, very commonly oblong or oval, but sometimes irregularly rounded. The variety in these respects is chiefly owing to the convenience of the standard or permanent trees for shade. Those with lofty, straight stems, extensive heads, aud those that are in an adolescent state, and known to be long-lived, are preferred for this purpose, and left standing at fifteen or twenty yards from each other. Much more diminutive plots are also cultivated by a race of Hill people called llourchara and Cailura, who are not exactly slaves, but locally attached, and acknowledging certain obligations of a feudal, and perhaps reciprocal kind, to the Nairs in the neighbourhood. *

“ After the operations now described, no further labour is bestowed for four years. At the revolution of the fourth rainy season, and towards its close, they look for a crop, and their hopes arc rarely disappointed; this first cffofl of nature is generally scanty: for instance, only one half of what is reaped the following year, and only one fourth of what is yielded after the sixth rains, at which period the plant has reached its acme of prolific vigour. Now and then, however, this routine is interrupted, and its progress protracted, by causes of which they arc not very solicitous to investigate the nature; they remark, however, excessive and uninterrupted rains to be one source of failure.

“ In the dry season succeeding to the first crop, they grub up the undergrowth of shrubs, and clear away tl\e weeds and grass, laying them up as before in heaps to rot; but in no case do they set fire to these, tho consequence of which pract ice would be the certain failure of the crops. This, process of cleansing being yearly

• repeated, the same spot will continue productive for fifty years and upwards.'“Thebarren state of the Ela-Kandy is replaced by the establishment of anot her,

on a fresh site, aud with similar properties to the former; in the choice of which they can never be at a loss, from the grSil extent of mountain and wood in a state •f -atuic; and the same operations repeated, the customary routine of crops will

“As \e Cardamom plants spring up from scattered seeds d\rmant on the spot, ' or washed thither by the rains from the adjacent parts, we do nob find any regularity in tJ;*jir disposition, nor is the industry of the natives ever exerted to correct this. Accordingly wcsceltheiu variously grouped; in some places crowded rfhd extremely luxuriant; in others thin and stunted; some roots sending forth from twenty to thirty stems, two-thirds or three-fourfhs of which bear; others from eight to twelve, and down to lour or five. lienee it is difficult to calculate the rate of produce of any one plant.. Each stem sends forth from its thickened base from two to four strings of fructiferous panicles; from these issue alternately short clusters beaming from two to three ripe pods. The length ofthc common string or stalk varies from four inches to eighteen, and is sometimes two feet; but theso last extremes arc not fertile in proportion. In good years, from four to six plants ■will yield of dried pods one dunyully, a measure of capacity equal to four pints Winchester.

“ The abundance of crop is best insured by a moderate routine of weather. With respect to dry and wet, the extremes of each are injurious; they dread most, however, deluging rains, particularly for the young plantations, and during the flowering season, which commences on the first fall of the rains in April and May, and continues for two months, the flower being very delicate, and the recumbent and repent posture of the fruit panicles exposes them particularly to the bad effects of drenching moisture. Repeated torrents, descending from above* commit their devastation by ba:3ng the roots, and sweeping away the finest portion of the mould, which furnishes the nutriment so essential to the vigour of the plants. In August and September the pods increase and acquire the greatest size. In the first half of October they begin to ripen; then the gathering of the early part commences; the ripening proceeds through all that month and November. A longer contiuuaucc of the rainy season may protract the final gathering till tho middle of December. About a fortnight earlier than here stated, the Cardamoms on tho western or sea-side of the Ghauts are gathered. The process of reaping keeps pace with the simplicity of the previous management. A dry day being chosen, the fruit stalks are plucked from the roots, carried to their houses, and laid out to dry on mats placed upon a threshing-floor; a series of four or five dry days is sufficient to complete the desiccation. The pods being extricated by stripping with the finger, are separated into three or four sorts, denominated from their respective qualities: 1. Ta/i-Kai, the head fruit. 2. Nadu-Km, the middle.3. Pou/o-Kat, the abortive fruit. The last being thrown away, the former two are mixed toget her; the purpose of the separation being to ascertain the relative proportions, and to render the whole uniform and marketable. They arc then laid up in mat-bags, made of the Paudanus Sytvcrtris of Rumphius, a plant growing ever}' where around their houses and fields. These bags are of two sizes, one holdiug thirty-two pounds Avoirdupois, or a Company’s niaund in Malabar, and the other sixteen pouuds.

“The bundles thus prepared by the cultivator are immediately carried dowa to shops or liltlo storehouses, erected by Mopla merchants or agents in diflerent places along the whole range of hills, and at a little distance from the farms. Here they are subjected to another and final operation by the vendors to the wholesale merchants on the Qoast. This cousists in holding them over a gentle and slow fire in flat baskets, while the assistants continue rubbing them betwixt their hands for a certain time; which has the efiect«of detaching what remains of . the permauent calyx and foot-stalks, or other adhering membranes, and gives tho pod that appearance aiul marketable quality delineated in pi. 106, figs. m. and >\ This operation is termed in Malabar, Tcrimbous, a word expressive of its nature. The Cardamoms are now weighed for the purpose of ascertaining the respective quotas of rent payable by the different farmers. The result of this is expected to correspond with a previous estimation of the quantity of the crops, taken on the ground before they arrive at maturity; on the approach of which an official deputation, consisting of public Officers and some of the Headmen of the countiy, well acquainted with the subject, repair to the Ela-Kandys, attended by the proprietors, and there the calculation is made from the combined consideration of tho extent of ground, age of the plantation, and general appearance of the fruit-stalks then in full hearing.

“Four or five of the visitors, whose interests arc supposed to bo neutral, and equally unbiassed betwixt Government and the Ryot, successively and seriously deliver their opinions; from the average of which the Official attendants strike a mean, and mutual satisfaction is generally tl?c cousequencc. The duties or Customs arc paid only on exportation from the Province: they amount to twevo per cent, aitu the avcrag<y)ricc is rated at 1200 Rupees per caudy of G40 pounds Avoirdupois.

amount, one year with another, to something ; and this grows on ai< extent of more thanV»

Kandyan mode of manufacturing Steel.It may not perhaps be altogether out of place to give some account of the

and forms a littleSinghalese mode of preparing steel, which is of good quality inland trade. From the information I have received, it appears that the Kandyans manufactured this article to a great extent during the time the Island was under Native rule; but it is now made only at Saffragam and Kandcpallc in the district of Badulla. The mode in which the Kandyans manufactured .steel is as follows. It consists in introducing a small bar of good iron into a clay mould of a tubular form which they call “ Covey," with pieces of the dried wood of the Cassia aurieutata, (Ranawaraof the Singhalese.) The open end of the tube is afterwards closed wjth clay, and it is placed in a charcoal fire for two hours, by which process carbon is supplied to tbo iron, wliiCh is thus converted into steel. The proportions for making steel of the best qualities are as follows; 7 parts of iron to 3 outlined wood. They also use the wood of the Todde/ia acufeala, the “Kudu Moris” of the Singhalese,in which case the proportions are 3 of iron t o 1 of wood. This wood, however, produces an inferior steel, but by increasing the iron to 5 parts, a better kind may be obtained. This kind of steel is not generally manufactured, as it is brittle, and unmalleable. . ^

The Hindoos also have recourse to a similar method, using the wood of the , Cassia with a few leaves of the Calotropis gigantca or Convo/vu/iri laurifolia for . making their steel.

I have been informed by an old Kandyan blacksmith, that the manufacture of steel was one of the services rendered to the Singhalese Kings by the people, under the term “ Rajakaria,” for the performance of which they were allowed grants of land. *

To shew the value and importance of steel thus prepared, I cannot do better than quote from Professor Royle’s Lecture delivered before the Society of Arts on the objects of Indian manufacture at the Great Exhibition of 18a 1 ; wherein lie has well observed, that the Hindoo with no other tools than, his hatchet and his . hand, proceeds to smelt iron which he will convert into steel capable of competing with the best prepared in Europe.

According to Mr. Heath, another eminent authority, “ the iron is forged by repeated hammering, until it forms an apparently unpromising bar of iron from which an English manufacturer of steel would turn with contempt, but which the Hindoo converts into cast steel of the very best quality.” Mr. Heath further states the fact, “that iron is converted into cast steel by the natives of India in two hours and a half, with an application of heat that in this country would be considered quite inadequate to produce such an effect, while at Sheffield it requires at least four hours heat to melt blistered steel in wind furnaces of the best construction, although the crucibles in which the steel is melted arc at a Tv-hite heat when the metal is put into them, and in the Indiap process, the crucibles arc put into the fire quite cold.”

With regard to the commerce of this steel, Professor Roylc says, “ that this Indian steel lias long formed an article of commerce from the .West of Lidia to the Persian Gulf, and there is every probability of its being used in larger quantities, as manufacturers here have expressed a desire to employ it.”

The bars of steel generally manufactured and sold by the Singhalese arc small, weighing 15 ounces.

In the extensive district of Ouvah, two blacksmiths of Dchcigolla supplied annually the King’s stores with 24 small bars of steel called “ Wana Karaland 12 persons belonging to the same place furnished a sufficient quantity of charcoal for preparing the steel. Ii^ other places the same system was carried on. The following are the names of tho places where steel was manufactured, viz.

Debeigolla and Iwalla in Wellassp; Ircwandumpalla in Kauda palle.At present it is made at Iloraguna Hanahappawjela, Kaminala and Kosgamma

Kammala, belonging to Kandapalle, also at Mabawalgaha in Saffiacam district.In conclusion, I beg leave to add, that it seems desirable the manufacture of

Singhalese Steel should be encouraged Vy Government, and it is likewise deserving tho attention of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce. nowise .descrying.

CEYLON BOTANIC GARDENS.*»

By Professor Harvey, of Trinity College, Dublin.«?

Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradenin, Ceylon, October 10 th.

r

I propose sending yon a short account of the present state of the Ceylon Botanic Gardens, now under the able management of G. IT. K. Thwaites, Esq. These gardens are situated at Peradonia, four miles from ICandv, on the high road to Colombo, and at an elevation of about 1G00 feet above the sea. They cover an undulating surface of 140 acres, a considerate portion of which is occupied by* an arboretum, into which, from time to time, the native forest-trees arc introduced, and where eventually will be brought together most of the arborescent plants of the island, and such valuable forest-trees ns will stand the climate. The river Mahawelle Ganga flows round three sides of the garden. The opposite banks arc steep, gradually rising into wooded hills of various heights; some reclaimed and planted tvith coflee, others still covered with jungle.

The approach to the garden, from the Kandy road, is through an avenue of tall India-lubber trees (Picul*Elastica), hung with various creepers, such as Bignonias and fpomaas; and nearly opposite, the entrance gate, a remarkably fine specimen of Bati/iinia seandens (jungle rope) throws its strangely compressed and twisted rope-like stems from branch to branch, and stretches fairly across tho road. Immediately within the gale the broad gravelled road divides round a circular bed of palms, such as at some future day the new Crystal Palace nmv exhibit, but which, for luxuriance, is as yet unrepresented in England. The group comprises the talipot (Corypha unjbraculifera'), Livistona chincn.vs, Caryota urens, dense clumps 0f C. horridn. Borassus jlnbclliforniis, Areca catechu, Seafurlhia Bichoui, Coves mici- fera, Orcodoxa oleracca, Phanix ductylifera, and Ph. furini/era, a fine unnamed Malayan palm, two species of Calamus, and very large specimens o*f Cycas circinalis. Some of these are twenty, some forty, some sixty feet high; some have fan-shaped, some pinnate, and some much divided fronds: and being brought together into a definite clump of gigantic foliage, forcibly arrest the stranger’s attention, particularly when his glance also falls on the beds at cither side, where large Scitaminea and Yucca: are overtopped by two huge traveller s trees (Ravenala speciosa) with palm-likc trunks at least 35 feet to the base of the leaves and fully 50 feet to tho extreme top. The specimens of this noble plant in English stoves, where the caudex is either not at all, or scarcely formed, give no adequate idea of the port of a full grown plant, with its fan of 40 or oCbdistichous leaves, each leaf 12.to 15 feet long, mounted on a column 30 to 40 feet high, as formally as if the whole had been cast in bronze. I can think of no better comparison for this grotesque, and yet noble object, than the great fans of peacock’s feathers which are borne on each side of the Pope on festival days. The leaves, like those of the banana, are usually tom to ribbons, which make8thcm look still more like feathers as they wave to and fro in the wind.

On passing the group of palms you enter a straight road, runniug through tho •garden to another palm-circle recently planted at the further end. This road has •unde side-borders well furnished in front with flowers^uid small flowering shrubs, and in the rear with larger shrubs and trees, among which, here and there, aro scattered palms and Panda ni, the latter conspicuous for their snakc-like stems and branches, terminal screw-like tufts of sword-shaped leaves, and abundant ropes and cables. These borders arc at all times gay with bright-leaved plants and flowere. Among the former, Bracccna ferrea and Poinscltia puleherrima, supply the brilliant pinks and crimsons, and a variegated form of the mop-shaped Croton longifolium, the bright-vellows. The flowering shrubs and trees arc mu£h too numerous to mention; a few, now in flower, must suffice. Many lino species of Cassia, particular one recently imported from Trinidad, every branch of which bears a panicle of bright golden flowers at least 15 inches in diameter, anil C. alata, with its large fern-like foliage, dense, erect racemes, and orange bracts; Allamunda cathartica and A. Schottii, ever displaying a profusion of golden bells; Ixora cocc'uea and /. rosea. Hibiscus rnsa-sineusis, Plumbagos, several CierviUndrons, HauhMaf, Qurdenia Jlnridn, Craysandra, Eranthnnnm, and other .•cca'dfatrcce ; Biguouia elans and Vrcnma caper,ds. several Ardisia^morc remarkable for handsome foliage aud fruit than for showy flowers; these, and many other's, with abundance of rosea•O ' ~ 1 "

U^fv honours; Harriugtonia raennosn still displays a few of its pendent crimson tassels, Ditlcnias and l lor vitas, 20 to 30 feet high, with dark plaited leaves and white flowers; Atstoniag, Poinfiuna pntcherronn and l*. regin, the umbrageous Soffinu/n itinerant hum; Jonrsia Asoca, laden with rich bunches of orange flowers; HumboltUia laurifo'in, Ca/osauthes infica, now hung with great sword-shaped pods, &c* are among the larger border shrubs and small trees. Heanmontiagran- di/lora climbs the tallest trees, flowering among the upper branches; and Capparis AJooni, a tine Ceylon creeper, almost covers one large tree with its glossy leaves and white flowers. Two line trees of Plii/llanthus Mailagascaricnsis, planted at a crossing, ditlusc the sme/l (rather than the fragrance') of boiled potato-skins, while well-grown cinnamon and camphor trees, not far distant, remind you that you are in the land of sweet spices and gums.

There is no Banyan tree in the garden; but there arc several fine examples of the larger species of Ficns, particularly of the epiphytic fig-trees which abound in the lower jungles of the Island. These species, though not necessarily epiphytic, otten vegetate either at- the base or in the crevices or hollows of old or half decayed trees; and in either case, the fig, growing rapidly, adheres to the supporting tree, at first modcstlV, like an ivy, but at length completely encloses the trunk and larger branches in a thick wooden coflin. The attacked fcvee, now hidden under a dense conglomeration of aduatc branches and ndnatc rerial roots, which compose the falso trunk of the fig, languishes, while the fig grows proporlionablv luxuriant, and at length far exceeds in size the tree, to which, as an humble parasite, it had at first aflixed itself.

Hut perhaps the most remarkable isolated figs in the garden arc two' fine India- rubber trees (Ficns c/ashcn) at least 80 feet high, planted apart, one on each side of one of the walks. The girth of the largest is nearly 80 feet at the base, but it soon divides into three trunks, each 10 feet round. Its most remarkable feature, however, is not the height or girth of the stem, but the grand display of exposed roots which radiate from its base, stretching, like the spokes of a wheel, ten or twelve yards in every direction. Where they issue from the base of the trunk they form vertical plates, from 2 to 3 feet high, and from 3 to 5 inches in thickucss, but they gradually diminish in height to the extremities. They are connected, here and there, by cross plates, which anastomose in a tolerably regular manner; and the whole display of roots reminds you (comparing great things with small) oi the under surface of the leaf of the Ficloria regia, if you take the trunk of the tree for the leafstalk, and the radiating and anastomosing roots for the ribs and veins.

Among the ornamental or remarkable trees the various species of Artocarpus departicular notice. A. inctsa (breadfruit) is sufficiently known in England

by the fine specimen at Kew, which imagination may easily carry into a tree -10 to 50 feet high. A. inlegrifo/ia (the jack,) a tail-forest tree, GO to 80 feet high, with excellent wood resembling coarse mahogany, dark polished oval leaves, dense well-covered branches, and large fruits, hanging on short shoots, from the trunk or principal limbs; and A. pubcsccus (wild bread-fruit,) with plaited leaves of large size, arc very handsome. A native species of Anliaris (or upas) from whose lough inner bark excellent sacks are made, has recently 1/cen introduced into the garden. Other ornamental'trees arc—rSchlcichcra trijuga (Ceylon oak,) which at a little distance strikingly resembles Qnercus Ilc.r; Caratha ccy/anicn, Carega arboren, Klcinliovin ctylanica, Michelia Champaca, &c.; but none cr'ccod in beauty the fern- leaved Nepheliums and the Rhus dccipiens.

in a country where few trees are deciduous, a sameness of tint in the forest is to be expected; and to a considerable extent this is the ease in Ceylon, if we coniine ourselves to the fully formed leaves. But though distinct seasons, affecting all nature at ouec and strongly, are here wanting, the change of leaf often exhibits colours as bright as those which tinge the autumnal woods of America with broad washes of crimson and yellow. Here, however, it is not the old, but the young leaves • which are highly coloured; and as the older leaves arc still freshly green on the . * body of tlie tree, the ends of the branches clad in clear tints of white, pale yellow l»mk, crimson, or purple, appear to support clusters of showy flowers. If all trees, '•hanged their leaves at the same season, those tints would be as famous as those of America. The moat beautiful are exhibited by ijesua ferrea (bright crimson),

, .Eugenia (crimson), Ncphelium Aiora (deep red), the Scmccaipi (bluish purple;, the -kauri (rich sienna brown), Pymplocos (rich brown), Garcinia- (fulvous),Inga b,gemma (very pale), a Mesua (whitish), Aleurites lUoluccana (white), &c. &o.

The Carycto must not be judged by the attenuat'd specimens seen in English palm-houses. Here its decompound froiids are peculiarly dense and heavy, forming an oblong, compact head of dropping, .'•ad-coloured plumes, like gigantic hearse-plumes. It’s trui?K is from -10 to GO feet high, "thick and columnar, strongly contrasting with, the slender Ac ecu by its side, which nevertheless reels its glossy plumes to quite as great a height. The largest talipot (Curypha umbrac>dijerti') in the garden has a trunk upwards of GO feet high t« the base of the leaves, and measures 12 feet at the butt, and 9 or 10 at live feet from the ground. It looks exactly like a column of solid masonry supporting a leafy crown.

Several line clumps of bamboos, like tufts of ostrich feathers, 40 to 00 feet high, exhibit the family of grasses in their grandest form. The close-shaven lawns <-t England must'not be looked for, but the grassy slopes of the arboretum, intersected by broad gravelled walks and ornamented with scattered trees, may well be coin- pared io English park scenery. The grounds themselves arc naturally of beautiful shape, and have been well laid out. Particularly to be admired is a new road, recently opened along the river banks, from one point of which is caught a charming view of the Peradenia J Jr id go, spanning the JInhawellc Ganga with a light- openwork arch of sal in wood, the garden affording a foreground, with wooded hills for a middle distance, and the eye ranging, beyond the bridge, far away into the open country.

IJut it is high time to speak of the more important departments of the garden— namely, the nursery, the spice-ground, the orchard, and the experimental garden.

In the nursery a stock is kept up of all useful and ornamental plants suitable for distribution in the colony; and young plants and seeds are sold, at very moderate prices, to the colonists, the proceeds being paid regularly into the public chest. Flowers and flowering shrubs are in much request, both by natives and planters, and the introduction of a handsome novelty of this description attraejs many purchasers. Annual plants of the wanner parts of the temperate zone generally succeed well, but shrubby kinds arc apt to form leafy branches only. Sweet- briar grows long and lanky like a dog-rose, and rarely blossoms. Fvsehias,unless «are be taken to destroy the lateral leaf-buds, do not blossom; but the apple-tree is perhaps the greatest caricature, existing merely as a root-stock, which throws up tufts of slender twigs like those of a raspberry-bush, like which it is propagated by division of the roots. Of course it never flowers.

The spicc-ifroxind, about a quarter of an acre in surface, is planted with nutmegs, cloves, allspice, cardamoms, and pepper, aM of which succeed well. At present the nutmeg-trees are laden with fine ripening fruit, and are also fragrant with a profusion of flowers.

Six or eight acres are set apart as an or eh art7, and a considerable number of fruits grown with more or less success. Among these arc the mango; the hog plum (Spondiusdideis); the rambootan (Nephelium lonyan); the litelii (Nepheliumlitchi); the durian; the bilimbi; limes, citrons, oranges, shaddocks, lemons, and wampi (Coohia punctata); the star-apple; sour-sop, custard-apple, and bullock’s-heart; the rose-apple,jambos, guava, and pomegranate; the loquat; the numnum (Cyno-

cau/ijiora); avocado pear; bread-fruit and jack ; mulberry; granadilla papaw; pine apples; banuuas of many kinds; lovi lovi (Flacourtia inermis), which makes a good preserve; Ceylon almond (Tti uiinaUa catuppa), and Canaritan.com- hiuuc, &c. Puelons have been frequently tried ; but though the plant grows freely, and the fruit swells well, the latter rarely comes to perfection. Pumpkins succeed much better.

In the experimental garden new objects of colonial culture ami new varieties of fruits arc raised and propagated for future dispersion. The tea shrub (T. Bohea) succeeds well, and might be grown to any extent at 1000 feet higher, if sufficient labour could be cheaply had. The chocolate (Theobroma cacao) bears abundantly, but almost every fruit, as it ripens, is destroyed by squirrels, which are extremely numerous. The Shiraz tobacco, a recent introduction, through the garden, to the colony, has been grown with much success, and bids fair soon to supplant the bad ^arietica in cultivation. Cotton has been long, and is still, under experiment here ana-in oghor par trtO!’tho island; but it docs not flourish, apparently owing to an imcct which attacks the ripening pod, destroying the seed, and greatly damaging t ♦ wool. The Manilla hemp (flltisa tcxlilis) grows well, and may eventually he- '

come an important item in colonial export. Arrow-root and tapioca, Judging ‘from cthe specimens grown in the garden, might bo raised to any desired txtent a.ul of

the best quality. Mr. Thwaites has recently introduced, and is carefully cultivating, the best West India ginger, tjjat commonly grown in Ceylon being of very inferior quality. There have also been procured from the Mauritius, and recently from Kew, the best varieties of pine-apples, and great improvement in this fruit may qucntSY be anticipated. '

So far for the Peradcnia garden out of doors. But this notice would be very imperfect were 1 to omit to ment ion what is doing by Mr. Thwaites in vlis study, and, under his superintendence, at his office and in Iris house. Here a herbarium of Cay- (" Ion plants commenced by his predecessors, but arranged and greatly enlarged by himself, now contains about 3000 species; and novelties still come in, and must bo , expected, till the southern provinces of the island in particular have been fully ex- it plored. Two native draftsmen, in Government pay, are constantly employed in •/ making coloured drawings of all the plants, as they flower in the gulden, or are / brought in from the jungle. Their work is confined to representing the plant of; the 6ize of nature; for all the magnified portions are drawn, and all the dissections made by Mr. Thwaites himself, \vho*levotes the best hours of almost every day to this most necessity, but laborious task. Many hundreds of carefully prepared and accurate drawings show what has been done in less thajj. four years, and ire a pro- , raise of still greater things to come. Should they be published (as is much to bo desired) they will not only form an enduring monument to the author’s fame, and j also to that of the Feradenia garden where they have been prepared, but they will be a most valuable contribution to botanical science.

Their great value, above most other similar botanical plates will consist in this, that the floral analysis has been in all cases made cither from the living plant, oi from specimens preserved in spirit, by the author himself, and not by his draftsmen.The errors incident to making dissections of«dricd specimens arc hence avoided.
