The land is from 20 milea north to 16 miles south of the latitude of th- mouth of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clutha River at its mouth, Invercargill being 3 mileß due south of the latitude of the Clutha, th* average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of the soil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent -wheat, but first-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to keep his land in perfect by a rotation of cropping; manure his land byfeedingoff his green crops with sheep and cattle, ar.fl ke p him independent of a bad myrLct for any particular cereal. Ail over the d'-.lrict there is firsts class limestone cropping out to fertile the land when it mpy require it. of large extent are tca'tered over it, providing timbers for buildiDg and fencing, and coal ('iiuite and the best brown coals) for fuel eveijwbere obtainable. The district is fur(her ritersected by railways, which open up toe great valleys of Aparima, Cseti, and Mataura Rivers ; while a loop line from the } n srercargill to Kingston Railway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to D lined}#. main line p'c Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly.

Lb, where the climate is drier and warmer, tut along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crops. The experience of the last few years leads to the conviction that for allrround agriculture the supply of rain by no means exceeds the re.quirements of the land* This year the thermojneter at Invercargill has averaged higher thag. any part of the Middle Island, and most parts of the North Island, while there has been very considerably leas rainfall in any part of the Colony.
