The land is from 20 miles nerlh to 10 mile* south of the Jatitnrie of thi mouth of the Taieri Rivor, and is a'.f fr-nm - tr> 38 miles to the northward of th«* Clutba River at its mouth, InvCTcargill hcin? 3 miles due south of the latitude of the Cmtha, the average height above the tea level The average qua'ity of the soil is equal to any in the Aastralaaiin Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but first-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for rawing turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to koep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land by his green crops with sheep and cattle, and ke p him independent of a had market for any particular cereal. Atl over the district there is firstclass limestono cropping out to fertilise the land when it may require it. Forests of ]ar/e extent a r e scattered over it, providing timbers for hnilding and fencing, and coal (lignite and the beat brown coals) for fnel everywhere obtainable. Tiie district is further intersected by railways, which opennp the great valleys of Aparona, Oreti, and Mafcrnra Rivers : whHt? a 1000 line from the Invercargi.il to Kingston Railway at Lnmsdetn runs through the aimea Plains aud Joics the Tnven-argill to Daaedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly.

It may be remarked that Invercargilibeingsituatedclose to fr'oveaux Straits i« exposed to morerainfalland sadden changes than the interior of the district, only Beven Tnilpa dne north, where the climate is both 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 all-round agriculture the supply of rain'by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and most parts of the Jforth Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall than in any part of the Colony.
