Greytown is the principal port for the export of india-rubber on the coast. It is collected by parties of Indians, Caribs, or half-caste Creoles, seldom by Europeans, to whom tho dealers (who are also storekeepers) advance the ne- cessary outfit of food, clothing, and apparatus for collecting rubber, on con- dition of receiving the whole of the rubber collected at a certain rate. Tho rubber-hunters are termed Uleros ( Ule being the Creole term for rubber). A party of Uleros, after a final debau...ch at Greytown, having expended all their remaining cash, generally make a start in a canoe for one of the rivers or streams which abound on the coast, and, having fixed on a convenient spot for a camp, commence operations. The experienced rubber-hunter marks out all the trees in the neighbourhood. Tho rubber-tree is the Ca-s- tilloa dastica, which grows to a great size, being on an average about 4 feet in diameter, and from 20 to 30 feet to the first spring of the branches. From all the trees in the almost impenetrable jungle hang numerous trailing para- sites, liancs, &c.
