The land is from 20 miles north to 16 miles ■outh of the latitude of the month of the Taieri River, and is all from 2to3S miles to the northward of th«* Clutha River at its month, Inverca r gill being 3 miles dne south of the latitude of the Ciutha, the average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of the soil is equal to any in the Austratar-i in Colonies, and from climatic intl [fliers is capable of growingnot merely excellent wheat, bnt first-class oats and barley, and p~c«'iirly adapted for raising turnips .md srtifeii-l grasses', thereby enabling the ff.rmir to !:• cp his land in perfect heart by a r>>t"ttinn of cropping; manure his lard bv fec li'''- off hi s ! grr.< n crop? with sheep and <r*tt!*.

The experi ence of the last few years leads to the con ▼iction that for all-round agriculture the mppjy 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 N- rth Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall than in any part of the Colony.
