* 2015 - 1662 = 353 years = 4236 months

 

* Actually that 1662 was when the "western boundary of the colony of Berbice" was established.

 

* Like riya I couldn't find the Eastern boundary date---Django believes it's 1671.

Rev

I found the year 1671 the Abary River became the

boundary due to some disagreement to establish a

trading post in Demarara river.

Follow me, folks.

Demerara's eastern boundary = Berbice's western boundary.

If Riya didn't learn geography, at least she should know geometry.

Django says 4128 months = 344 years = the year 1671.

Anjali says 4121 months = 343 years + 5 months = 1672.

Wikipedia says: "In 1672, under an arrangement between the Commander of Essequibo and the Secretary of the Government of Berbice, it was agreed that the Abary River would be the western boundary of the Colony of Berbice."

My history book says 1672.

I am giving Anjali first prize.

Django gets second prize.

Congrats!!

As I mentioned before, history books don't all agree on dates.

THE BEGINNING OF THE COLONY OF BERBICE

 

Meanwhile, the Berbice administration attempted to expand the size of the colony by establishing a trading post as far west as the Demerara River. At that time the Demerara area was unoccupied, but the West India Company objected to the presence of the trading post after claiming that the Demerara River fell under its jurisdiction. The trading post was then moved in 1671 to the Abary River which eventually became the boundary of Berbice and Demerara.

Okay Django, let's level. The trading post was set up in 1671.

The word "eventually" could not refer to 1671. In this instance, "eventually" was 1672 but Odeen Ishmael was too lazy to check.

You back bhai,how was you trip???

Long ass bus ride, I wish I did drive it would have taken under six hours, the bus took 8hrs to get there and on the way back stoppped in North Bay for one hr making it a nine hr trip back.

 

It was for my daughter's grad she passed with honours from Northern College. While there, I saw a Navita Ramdas from Guyana who came up to get her papers, she apparently works in a mine in Guyana and did the course through correspondence, she took three awards,one was for student with the highest academic standing in the Mining Engineering Tech Program, another for higest mark in Field Mapping.

I never got a chance to speak with her, she disappeared right after the ceremonies.

 

Just thought I'd throw the name out there in case anyone knows her.

Uitvlugt estate

I wanted to put up a notice: DJANGO KEEP OUT but decided to hand you it on a platter.

Your answer is correct.

The original owner of plantation Uitvlugt was Isaac Charles Bourda Uitvlugt [ICBU]. 

Up to now, the estate's vehicles, plant and equipment are marked ICBU. Look at the ICBU on the factory chimney:

We're talking about Guyana. There are varieties of ceiba trees. The silk cotton is one. The tree I want grows higher than silk cotton in Guyana.

* I know there are 31 groups of trees in Guyana.

 

* Ceiba pentandra is one group---and trees in this group, grow up to 230 feet.

 

* You are right---silk cotton is part of the Ceiba grouping.

 

* Hope you give the height when you reveal the answer.
