“...reason sunstroke is practically unknown in the West Indies; but, all the same, visitors should on no account expose themselves to the direct rays of the noonday sun. A thorough wetting by the rain should be guarded against, and chills at sun- down avoided. Of late years, the sanitary ar- rangements in the West Indies have undergone substantial improvement, with the result that out- breaks of yellow fever are of extremely rare_ occur- rence, and they seldom, if ever, occur in the winter months. Malaria of a mild form is met within most of the islands in the summer months —Barbados being a notable exception—but new- comers are not as a rule susceptible to it until they have resided for at least ten or twelve months in the West Indies, and tourists therefore need feel no apprehension on this score. The West Indies are remarkably free from infectious diseases common in temperate climes, and also from those ailments which are commonly associated in the mind and body with an English winter.

The temperature varies from 66° to 88° Fahr. The annual rainfall is 50 to 90 inches, and the death rate 29 per thousand, the infant mortality?among the negroes being, through sheer neglect alone, very heavy.

The climate of Montserrat is comparatively cool and very healthy, there being no indigenous malaria in the island, owing, probably, to the fact that it is so well drained. Though the northern part is rather dry as the result of deforestation, the south has an abundance of water. The mean annual temperature is 78° Fahr., the rainfall from 40 to 80 inches, and the death rate only 16 per thousand. History. Montserrat was discovered by Columbus in 1493, on his second voyage, and named by him after a mountain near Barcelona in Spain. It was first colonised by the English under Sir Thomas Warner in 1632, but was captured from them by the French in 1664. In 1668 it was restored to England, in whose possession it remained until 1782, when it capitulated to the French. It was again ceded to England in 1784, and since that date it...”
