Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book of British Guiana The soil of the coast consists of a mixture of clay and mud of considerable depth and almost unequalled richness. Alterna tion of the crops is unknown, sugar-canes growing year after year in the same soil with hardly any deterioration. To increase the production, however, most of the plantations use chemical ma nures, and especially lime, which latter is almost wanting nat urally. With such a soil and heavy rainfall, it follows that crops are also heavy, while almost every tropical production can be grown to perfection. Nothing can exceed the luxuriance of the vegetation, weeds of course coming to the front and chok ing the cultivated plants if not kept under control. Plantains, Indian corn, yams, sweet potatoes, and a host of fruits ripen all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Guiana and Its Resources The total area of the colony is estimated at square miles, about the same size as the United Kingdom; but, owing to the somewhat undefined line Of frontier with Venezuela, and the imperfect maps of the country, the extent cannot be given with any degree of accuracy. Of this area a narrow strip of land stretching along the sea-coast - a few miles in width and con taining about acres - is planted with sugar-cane, and an equal acreage is under grass; but the rest of the colony consists wholly either of dense forest, or Open savan nahs, and is, with some isolated exceptions where timber has been felled, gold working carried on, or searching for indiarubber, talapa, orchids, or other products, has been made - entirely undeveloped, indeed almost unknown, and totally unexplored.

This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes and Comments on My Trip to the Diamond Fields of British Guiana IN fitting out an expedition, careful calculations should be made as to the amount of work intended to be done and the time to be spent in doing it; so that there may be proper provision. Appendix A. Gives the usual requirements for an expedition of ten men and a manager for two months, inclusive of the time taken going to and returning from the Fields. It is not possible to give a definite period in which the trips should be aecom plished, as this greatly depends upon the state of the river whether the water is high, low, or normal. Experience has shewn, however, that the average number of days taken for the up journey, between Bartica. And Ottawa Landing, is twelve; and for the downward trip, three and a half days. In both cases only working days are reckoned. Sometimes the up trip takes as long as twenty days, and the run down seven. Going up, the men do not work on Sundays; but, coming down, they will put out into mid-stream and drift. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life in British Guiana This volume is intended to be the first of a popular series on the Animal Life of British Guiana. It deals with the Mammals and Passerine Birds only, the latter including the great bulk as well as the com monest of the Colony Birds. During recent years while the writer was connected with the British Guiana Museum, he has been so frequently appealed to for information on the Natural History of the Colony, that it has seemed desirable to issue some such Work, in which in a popular and compact form such local information may be found. The work by no means aims at being complete, the more obvious features being chiefly described. To have done otherwise would have necessitated volumes of quite a different character. Without technicalitv other than the giving of the scien tific names of the species which are necessary to make the work of any real value, it is hoped that it will be a record of interest as well to the general reader as to the student. If it so proves, the object of the writer Will have been attained, and other volumes willfollow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
