A fine promenade of laterite, which everywhere about Sa Leone builds the best of roads, and a strip of jungle rich in the Guilandina Bonduc, whose medicinal properties are well known to the people, leads to the long-deserted graveyard.
On the shores of the Hebrides, we collect seeds of Mimosa scandens, of Dolichos urens, of Guilandina bonduc, and several other plants of Jamaica, the isle of Cuba, and of the neighbouring continent. The current carries thither also barrels of French wine, well preserved, the remains of the cargoes of vessels wrecked in the West Indian seas.
We have been for a walk along the shore this afternoon looking for "sea-beans." These are the seed of a South American tree, the Caesalpinia Bonduc, and are often washed up on the shore. Mr. Keytel picked up one of a different species, the Pusaetha scaredens, the other day, in size about two inches across, the largest that has been found here.
