Abstract
IN recent years the cultivation of rubber-yielding trees has attracted an increasing amount of notice. About 12,000 acres in Ceylon, and in the Malay Peninsula a still larger area, have been stocked with the Para rubber tree, Hevea bvasiliensis, and other species of Hevea. The cultivation has also been successful in India and South America, and experimental plots are being tested in Uganda and the Gold Coast Colony.
