British Honduras.

One of our oldest "Possessions" (1670), but one of our youngest Colonies (1862). Size, about one quarter of Scotland. Population, one-fifth of Brighton.

Europe looks to Honduras for a great part of its supplies of Mahogany and Logwood. A flourishing settlement in its early days, when logwood was £100 per ton; at the present time it is worth but £6 per ton.

The Exhibits show that sugar, bananas, and cocoanuts are important products. Notice the fibres, also the case of Indian dresses.
