climate is healthy. The principal industries are
fishing and the rearing of cattle and goats, for
which latter the pasturage is excellent. The soil
is good: cotton, coffee, tobacco, maize, beans, and
vanilla grow luxuriantly; a trained officer has of
late (1921) been appointed Agricultural Superin-
tendent in view of the agricultural development
of Rodrigues. The wild guinea fowl and par- Year.
tridges, likewise the deer and wild pigs, which
used to be plentiful, have almost disappeared.

The value of the imports in 1937 was Rs. 323,051 not including Rs. 25,000 Bullion and Specie. The exports of the island produce in 1937 were valued at Rs. 371,822. The people are all peasant proprietors

and there is abundance of food.
The principal exports are beans, maize, salt-fish,
cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, tobacco-leaf and acacia
seeds.

Communication with Rodrigues is maintained by

steamers of the K.P.M. Line.

Diego Garcia (population, 455, census 1931), the most important of the Oil Islands group, consists of four islands, at four days' steaming from Mauritius, the chief one being about 30 miles in length, extending in an irregular horseshoe shape, and embracing between its extremities three minor islets. It is a coral atoll, fifteen miles by six and a half, nowhere over ten feet high, but forming a spacious bay, roomy enough for large vessels to enter, being fifteen miles in length from end to end, and from two to five miles in breadth.

Diego Garcia is situated at 7° 20′ latitude S. and 72° 26' longitude E., on the straight line between the entrance to the Red Sea and Cape Leeuwin. In 1885 it was placed under the jurisdiction of a magistrate, with a small force of police from Mauritius, which was, however, withdrawn in 1888.

The population of the smaller Dependencies, according to the 1931 census, was 1,457 and is estimated at 1,411 on 31st December, 1937.
