Abstract
THE Report mentioned below is dated 2oth May, 1875, and refers to two visits made to the Islands of the Seychelles group in 1871 and 1874. The islands visited by Mr. Home were Mahé Praslin, Silhouette, La Digue, Félicité, Curieuse, Aux Frégates, St. Anne, and Aux Cerfs. The soil, climate and products of the islands are very similar, so that the remarks made are equally applicable to all of them. The climate is healthy, although the islands are situated almost under the equator, and the Cascade Valley in Mahé which is at an elevation of 1,500 feet above the sea, is pointed out as being especially delightful. The seasons are two, the warm and wet, during the north-west monsoon, from October to April: and the comparatively cool and dry season from April to October. The rainfall during the year is about 96 inches, most of which falls during the wet season.
