Abstract
THE report of the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission to the Governments of the United States and Great Britain for the year 1944*, publication of which has been delayed by war-time shortage of staff, refers to the Land Tenure Symposium at Puerto Rico, August 27-September 2, 1944, held in accordance with a recommendation of the Caribbean Research Council, which included technical papers from specialists, informal discussions and tours of the research and educational institutions and of the land-tenure improvement projects in Puerto Rico. Questionnaires prepared and sent out by the Research Council during the year relating to crop growing and animal husbandry within the Caribbean covered sugar, livestock, grain crops, grasses and grassland management, root crops and pulses, and vegetables. The Committee on Agriculture has requested from each department of agriculture and research institution in the area a complete list of addresses to which its publications have been sent and a list of research workers within its field of specialization, from which lists it is proposed to compile for circulation a comprehensive mailing list and a list of research workers and their subjects. Dr. C. E. Charden, director of the Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, visited Barbados and Trinidad in December 1944 in connexion with the joint survey of agricultural research agencies to be made by him and Prof. D. D. Paterson of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, Trinidad. Dr. Paterson visited Puerto Rico in the spring of 1945 and a joint report is being compiled.
