THE PETERS, MANGO.

On page 232 Of The present volume of tho
agricultural Ne,os, an account, based on
information given in the Year6ooh for 1907
of the United States Department OF Agri-
culture, was given Of q promising Indian
Mango, called the 'Sandersha'. In this
years issue of the same publication, partic-
ulars of a variety of the same fruit from
Trinidad called the Peters mango are given.
1t states that this is reputed by Mr.. j. H.
Hart to be the finest havoured of all the
mangos, and he gives the following descrip-
ton green skinned, rosy purple blush, and
notified with small yellow dots. Skin thick,
flesh PUPPY, Juicy, high havoured. Ripens
best in dry climate Of Jamaica good and
regular cropper; tree medium size, healthy
grower weight of fruit, y to IG ounces
size, - by 3! inches
Mr.. Hart states that it was introduced
into both Jamaica and Trinidad, about 1868
or 1869, and that it is probably closely re-
lated to the varieties Peach and Nadia
These are now being grated in thousands
both by the Department Of Agriculture,
Trinidad, and by private growers. He also
observes that it does well in the dry dis
tricts in the West Indies but in damp,
tropical situations, the fruit is often subject
TO an unidentified disease, which prevents it
from lipenin9 properly.
This mango is known in Jamaica under
the name Bombay (See Agricultural
Neeos, Vol. V, P. 148),-i6id.

solutions would be employed to leach fresh
banks, while weak ones would be used to ex-
tract the last percentages of the tahnin from
the partly exhausted bark. All the parts of
the factory, except the vacuum driers, could
be built on the ground, and it is evident
that the fuel for the boilers and for the
driers would cost very little, so that it would
appear that, if the cutch manufacture were
taken up IN connection with the numbering or
frewood industry, it would be exceedingly
profitable.
The Ilo.ul Report az the Board Of
-Agricu3tlue, jamaica, 1907-S, gives lnforma-
ton as to determinations Of the tauniu con
tent of several Jamaica maugroyes, which
were made by the Island and Agricultural
Chemist. From this, it would appear that
the jamaica mangroves compare well, as .

THE ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF
THE MANGRONE.

This subject is dealt with, from the point
of view Of the exploitation Of the mangroye
in the Philippine Islands, in the PhlHiIp1ne
Journal Of Science for May, 1909. The
following extracts from the article should be
Of interest -
In the United States, and in other coun-
tries where large amounts OF leather are
manufactured, the forests yielding native
tanning materials have been so far exhaust
ed that these nations must look to other
countries for their source OF supply. At the
present time very large quantities OF tan
barks and clutch are imported into the Unit
ed States from Borneo, Dutch East Africa,
Brazil and other tropical countries, and the
use Of mangrove tanning materials Is con
stautlv increasing The NEST abundant
source of tanning substances III the Philip
pines is the mangrove swamps OF the islands.
At the present time there Is no man
grove bark imported from the Philippines,
and as yet the area of these swamps
is not known. They occur as narrow frlnges
along the coast, or in considerable areas at the
mouths of large rivers, especially at the
head of bays. Some limited areas have been
mapped and measured by the Forestry
Bureau.
There are three large clutch factories in
Borneo using tan barks from the same
species of mangrove as those found i'll the
Philippines. These factories regard the
processes of manufacturing Clutch as a trade
secret, but we cannot believe that these So
called trade secrets are of a very formidable
nature, as we have succeeded in preparing
very good grades of clutch, without any
complicated process.
The following was the method used to
prepare the clutch The finely ground bark
was leached with cold water, and this solu-
ton eyaporated to dryness IN oacuo. Hot
water extracts too much of the colouring
matter, and no more tannin than cold water.
The evaporation, at least the latter stages,
must always be made IN 0dcuO to avoid
burning the clutch, 1t is sufficiently obvious
that the extraction on a large scale would
be carried out IN such a manner that strong
