Synopsis
Excerpt from Fiji; Our New Province in the South Seas
Owing to a more constant rainfall 'and plentiful moisture, the aspect of the weather side of these islands forms a remarkable contrast to the lee side. While the former in its innumerable creepers, thick jungles, forests, and luxuriant foliage exhibits all the characteristics of a tropical vegetation, the latter is, on the contrary, remark able for its fertile undulating plains and valleys of the richest alluvial soil.
