This file has been assembled over 45 years, and the one or two copies sold will be "out there" for the students of the future to analyse and perhaps solve some of the many secrets St. Vincent holds. There are "unknown periods", and some of my observations may, or may not, still apply. Counting these text descriptions took 4 hours (132 A4 pages long), so no attempt has been made to proof read. The counts for offices are Barrouallie (447), Bequia (272), Biabou (181), Bridgetown (104), Buccament (98), Calliaqua (835), Canouan (102), Chateaubelair (397), Colonarie (473), Cumberland (184), Georgetown (547), Kingstown ("K" and ST.

This file is invaluable (and as such no trade or collector discounts), and buyers will find endless pleasure.
