The land is from £0 mile"* north to 16 nufe3 ■oath of the latitude of the mouth of the Taieri River, and is ail from 2 to 38 miles to -the northward of the Clutba River at its mouth, Invercargill beins? 3 miles due south ■at the latitude of the Ciutha, the average height above the sea level being 2ao feet. The average quality of the soil is amy in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but tirst-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising tnrr.ips and artificial grasses, therehy MiHing the farmer to keep his land in perfect heart by a rotation?! cropping; manure his W byfeedingcff his green crops with sheep and cattle, ar.4 be p him independent of a -ad market for any particular cereal. A 1 ovnr the dv.tr>«t there is hretclass limestr.f.t; cropping »ut to fertilise tlie land when it may leqatr- it. Forests of larze extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing and coa (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is farther intersected by railway*, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Mataara Rivera; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kington Railway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins, the InvereargHl to Dunklin mam line at Gore, and a line through the Forest HiJl District will be constructed shortly.

It may be remarked that Invercargill beingsituated close to Foveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall and a udden changes ♦h.n the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier and warmer, but 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 iupply 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 Nortn Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall in any part of the Colony.

University Laboratory, Dunedin, 21st October, 1878. Thonu'-s Reynolds, Esq. Sir—JC have the honor to report on five .of Port Wine forwarded by you for analysis. These sainples may all be described as full-flavored, fruity, aromatic Wines; possessing in 'a considerable degree that agreeable fragrance that characterises genuine Port. They do not contain impurities of any kind. The perfect freeness of these Wines from otwj! kind of impurity, tho proportion of ■agar and alcohol which they contain being quite characteristic of unadulterated, unmaoipalated Wine, together with their rich gfgance arising from aromatic ethers, should strongly recommend them, and gain fnp tham a good place in the Colonial market.
