 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The only authority' in Enolish dealing- exclusivel}" with the Danish 
 West Indies appears to be C. E. Taylor's "Leaflets from the Danish 
 West Indies: Descriptive of the social, political and commercial con- 
 dition of these islands." The author was for many years a resident 
 of St. Thomas, and his work has the value of afl'ording information 
 acquired at first hand. The geographic manuals like Reclus's ''The 
 Earth audits inhabitants" and Stanford's "Compendiimi of geography 
 and travel" give good summar}" accounts of the history and natural 
 features of the islands. 
 
 The negotiations for the purchase of the islands in 1865-1869 are 
 well set forth in James Parton's "The Danish islands: Are we bound 
 in honor to pay for them?" and in briefer form in Curtis's "The 
 United States and Foreign Powers" and Wharton's "A Digest of the 
 international law of the United States." The proceedings of the 
 Danish parliament are printed in the " Rigsdagtidende." A pamphlet 
 by Dixon, "The St. Thomas treaty. A series of letters to the Boston 
 Daily Advertiser," reports the proceedings in Washington while the 
 treaty was pending, and also contains the text of the treaty. 
 
 The Danish colonial fiscal system in the West Indies is the subject of 
 an essay by C. W. Tooke, printed in "Essa3\s in colonial finance by 
 the members of the American Economic Association." 
 
 The tabulated statistics of the commerce and commercial regulations 
 of the islands ma}' be found in the publications of the Bureau of Sta- 
 tistics of the Treasury Department and the Foreign Commerce Bureau 
 of the State Department. The publications of the Statens statistiske 
 Bureau of Denmark include statistical tables of imports and exports, 
 merchant marine, and navigation. The various reports from our con- 
 suls at St. Thomas have been noted in their proper place in this list.

 " Seit der Aufheljung der Sklaverei und dem Ueberhandnehmen 
 der Damiifschifffahrt hat sich der Character der Insel vollig 
 geiindert. Die Zuckerpflanzungen sind verschwunden, der Boden 
 ist so gut wie unbebaut, eine Vermittelung des Handels zwischen 
 den Kiisten IMittel- und des nordlichen Siidamerikas mit den 
 Vereinigten Staaten und Europa findet nicht mehr statt. Jetzt 
 ist St. Thomas nur noeh ein Knotenpunkt der Dampfschifffahrt 
 nach Westindien. Die einzige Ortschaft ist Charlotte Amalie mit 
 stationilrer Bevolkerung (ca 12000). Die Gezeitenstromungen sind 
 so unregelmiissig, dass eine richtige Hafenzeit nicht angegeben 
 werden kann."
