The bread nut of Iamaica is the fruit of a lofty tree, Brosimum Alicastrum It is about an inch in diameter, and encloses a single seed, which, roasted or boiled, is a pleasant and nutritious article of food. The souari or surahwa nut, called also the “ Butter nut of Demerara, " and by fruiterers the “ Suwarrow nut, ” is the fruit of Cafyovar nucifemm, a native of the forests of Guiana, growing So ft. in height. This is perhaps the nnest of all the fruits called nuts. The kernel is large, soft, and even sweeter than the almond, which it somewhat resembles in taste. The few that are imported come from Demerara, and are about the size of an egg, somewhat kidney-shaped, of a rich reddish-brown colour, and covered with large rounded tubercles. The pekea nut, similar in appearance and properties, is the produce of Caryocm butyfosu-m, growing in the same regions of tropical America. The Jamaica cob nut is the produce of a euphorbiaceous tree, Omphalea There remain'to be enumerated a number of nuts of commercial diandra, , value for turnery and ornamental purposes, for medicinal use, or hazel nut The seed however contains a delet the seeds of which resemble in taste the ordinarv cob erious em- and for several miscellaneous applications in the arts.

Most of the nuts of real commercial proportion of theine, as much as 2~r5 %, besides theobromine and other important food-constituents, to which circumstances, doubtless, their valuable properties are due. Coquilla nuts, the hard inner portion (“ stone ”) of the palm, Altaleafunifera, the piassaba of Brazil, are highly valued for turnery purposes. They have an elongated oval form, 3 to 4 in. in length, and being intensely hard

they take a ine polish, displaying arichly streaked. brown colour.
