• This figure has been obtained from a review of the known imports and exports of gold during the year, startin"
with the estimated amount in the Island at the commencement of the year. Gold, however, is rarely seen in
circulation and it is probable that a considerable quantity has left the Island and that the actual quantitv in the
Island is much below thefigurequoted.
