Seychelles.—

Mr. C. S. Salmon, the Chief Commissioner, writes:—About 150 plants of Liberian coffee—mostly raised from seed you sent—have been planted at Mahé Island at elevations varying from the shore to 1,500 feet above sealevel. It comes best, apparently so far, in the open without shade. One plant at an elevation of about 300 feet, without any shade and close to a granite rock giving out considerable heat, has about 100 strong looking flowers on it. This plant is 18 months old."
