The land is from 20 rr.itor? ncrth to 1« miles ■oath of the lalitud« of th* month o: the Taieri Kiver, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clutha River at its month, Invercargili beintj 3 miles due south of the latitnde of the C»utha, the average height above the Eea level being 250 feet. The average qnality of the noil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent 'wheat, bat 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 heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land by feeding off his green crops with sheep and cattle, and be-p him independent of a bad market for any particular ■cereal. AH over the district there fa firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the land when it may require it. Forests of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is further inters* cted by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Orati, and Matanra Rivers : while a loop line from the Invercargili to Kingston Railway at Lum3dem run 3 through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargili to Dunedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap from any part of it ; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum coat. The average yield of cereals per acre, -taken from the statistics of the Colony for the year* 1873 to 1878, as compared with •Canterbury, are as follow : The subjoined tables give the average temperature at Invercargili, Dunedin, and Christchnrch, the commercial centres of the districts. It may be remarked that Invercargili being situated close toFoveauz Straits is exposed to more rainfall and sudden chacges than the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate i 3 both drier and warmer, tut along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crop 3. The experience o£ 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 Invercargili has averaged higher than any part of tfce Middle Island, and most porta of the North Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall *h«T» in any part of the Colony. avebage temperature.
