	The Guyana - Suriname Boundary: A Historical Review
		Berbice was settled in 1627 by the Dutchman Abraham Van Peere.
		The proprietors of the estates in Berbice did not themselves accept this property transaction as validly defining the boundary between the two colonies and repeatedly made demands on the Governor of Berbice to make grants of land in the area between Devil' s Creek and the Corentyne River.
		The argument continues that only the land west of the river was being ceded to Berbice, with the result that the river itself remained Dutch territory in its entire width, and that accordingly, the effect of the Agreement was to constitute the left bank of the Corentyne as the boundary.

		He stressed that the establishment of the West Berbice Branch of GAPA was a welcome development since it would be much easier for NARI to relate to farmers on these matters as a group rather than individually.
