The kind roost com- mouls sad is that called Arendo - matis. The same varities no doubt exist in Tonkin, is appears to be shown by the oyidenco. The Canten rouda and rushes having suffered from the droght of 1895, they are at present imported from Tonkin in large quantities for the manufacture of mats at Tangkan (west of Canton) and at Intan, near the West Rivor, about 150 miles to the west of Canton.
The climate of the Tonkin delta i analogous is that of Castour: the nature of the soil is the same in both ragions. It logically follows then that the plants which grow in the one part ought equally to grow in the other.
