The usual residence of the Governor-General is at Buitenzorg at a distance of a little more than one hour by railway from Batavia. The population of Buitenzorg amounted in 1905 to 2,394 Europeans, 4,318 Chinese, 448 Arabs, 27 other foreign Orientals and 25,214 natives; total, 33,401. The botanical gardens near the palace of the Governor- General were made in 1817, and are well known not only for their beautiful arrange- ment, but especially for the great services rendered to science and agriculture under the management of the eminent directors, Teysmann, Dr. Scheffer, and Prof. Dr. Treub. All experiments for the introduction of exotic plants into Netherlands-India are made here, with the result that many useful plants from foreign countries are reared and flourish in Java as in their native soil.
