. Narrative, of a five years' expedition, against the revolted negroes of Surinam, in Guiana, on the wild coast of South America, from the year 1772, to 1777 : elucidating the history of that country, and describing its productions, viz, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, trees, shrubs, fruits, & roots : with an account of the indians of Guiana, & negroes of Guinea . are two kernels resem-bling beans, lying flat upon each other. Of these a goodtree is said to produce three or four pounds weight at eachcrop; for this tree, like most other vegetable productionsin this luxuriant climate, bears two crops every year. To give the curious a better idea of this useful plant,I present him with a sprig of it, copied from nature in theannexed plate;—in which the figure A refers to the wood,where it was cut off; B is the upper side of the leaf; Cthe lower side of the same; D is the berry just beginningto change; E the same in full perfection, being of a beau-tiful crimson ; and F the kernels or beans as they appearwhen they are divested of their husk, and ready for ex-portation. The buildings on a coffee estate are, first, the dwellinghouse, which is usually situated for pleasure near thebanks of a river; and for convenience adjoining to itare erected the out-houses for the overseer and book-keeper, with store-houses and small offices: the other11 necessary. //f/f/ />/ ///r I t>//f .
