罗林拍摄的梧州群山，他在在回忆中提到，在梧州附近的山区河流北侧只有少量植被，山体表面大多裸露，并不见坚硬的岩石，而是微红色的土壤，在河流南边，地表则植被较多，有大量树木，松树居多，但是未达到茂密的程度。

梧州附近俊美山岭。

梧州城区所在地古称广信，广信除了是古苍梧的郡治所在地，还是岭南和珠江流域开发最早的地区，广信同时更是两广之“广”所在地。两广以广信为分界，广信之东谓广东，广信之西谓广西。古苍梧（广信）地区是岭南文化、珠江文化的发祥地，同时也是粤语的发源地。

2月18日，考察团成员与梧州的英国领事、传教士、教育机构人员进行了交流，参观了梧州的一所新式中学。

考察团结束梧州的行程，从西江原路乘船于2月19日返回三水后，搭乘当日的火车前往广州。
