At the request of Lord Tennant, a visit was made to Mustique on Saturday 12 th November 1977. During this visit, the writer
identified the problems at the Tennant House: High wave uprush and sudden and unpredictable sand movements. A
proposal was made for the provisions of advice on protective measures were submitted in Dec, 1977 and finally accepted in
May 1978. A land and hydrographic survey was conducted in July 1978. This information, supplemented by study of aerial
photographs, maps and existing meteorological and oceanographic data was used to provide the information contained in
the report. Recommended protective work were suggested to achieve the following aims: minimisation of interaction of
swell approaching the coastline, formation of a wider beach in front of the property

An examination of the diversity of spiders found on the islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It begins with an
introduction about the history of the study of St. Vincent spiders, their distribution, endemism and taxonomic notes.
Chapter two focuses on spider biology and their families. The reader is introduced to the collection and preservation of
spiders and conservation. It explores the spider’s relatives: scorpions, harvestmen, mites and ticks. At the end of the book,
Appendix II provides a useful taxonomic checklist of spiders of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Over the past 15 years informal reports have indicated that the Tobago Cays reefs were deteriorating and the cays have
received little scientific attention. This research article aims to characterize the present condition of the Horseshoe Reef
using the Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) protocol. In the study, coral survey and fish surveys were
conducted at selected sites on Horseshoe Reef. The study examined the species composition and abundance and sizefrequency
categories of stony coral colonies, mean fish abundance and size-frequency distribution of fish carnivores.
Additionally, the report suggested that corals may have deteriorated due to white band disease and are now recovering. The
