28th Sept. 1889. Visited the Institution with the Colonial Secretary. Everything appears to be regular and in the usual good order.

(Sgd) C. K. Pearson

Major General Acting Governor.

Minute by H. Fawcett F.L.S. Director of Public Gardens Jamaica.

11 Nov. 1889. Visited the Botanical Station at the Reformatory and have been much pleased with the good work which is being done by Professor Harrison and Mr Bovell.

(Sgd) William Fawcett

Director Public Gardens Jamaica

Minute by D. Morris Esqre M.A. F.L.S. Assistant Director, Royal Gardens, Kew.

17.1.91. Visited the Dodds Botanical Station, after an interval of nearly five years. I desire to place on record the excellent work done at it in regard to sugar experiments - the first and best hitherto carried on in the West Indies. As regards other than canes the locality is evidently too dry and windy and the soil too clayey. It would be desirable to obtain another locality for experimental cultivation of economic plants.

(Sgd) D. Morris

Assistant Director, Royal Gardens, Kew, on a special mission to the West Indies.

Minute by His Excellency Sir F. Napier Broome K.C.M.G.

Visited this Institution, inspected the Botanical work, the Laboratory, and the Reformatory Buildings, saw the Boys go through their drill and addressed them.
