Abstract
HIS Excellency the Governor of Nigeria, Sir Hugh Clifford, G.C.M.G., in a remarkable address to the Nigerian Council,1 which is deserving of careful study by those interested in our West African colonies, directed attention to the neglected condition of the Victoria Botanic Gardens in the recently acquired Cameroon Province, and stated that at his request the Assistant Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, was about to visit Nigeria for the purpose of advising the Government “as to the action that should be taken for their restoration and future maintenance,” We learn from the Kew Bulletin, No. 6, issued in September last, that Captain A. W. Hill has returned from his mission, and fully endorses the remarks made by the Governor as to the beauty and value of these gardens.
