The land is hom 20 miles north to 16 miles south of the latitude of the month of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clutna River at its month, 111 ver car gill bciDg 3 Ttiilwi due south of the latitude of the Clutha, the 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 i 3 peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the fanner to k-op hi 3 land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land by feeding ofl"bi3 gre« n crops with sheep and cattle, a*"l kc p himindcpendent of a ''i.ni market for any particular cereal. Ail over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping ••wi to jertiiiae tae land when it r?;ny rc-qtr.r :t. Forests of extent a r « scattered over it, providing timbers for building anil fencing, and coal (lignite and the beat bro'wn coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is further intersected by railway?, which open up the great valleys of Apariroa, Oreti, and Mataura Risers ; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway at Lnnisdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dnnedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly. Thu3 carriage of proditce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap froaa any part of it ; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum cost.

It mav be remarked that Invercargill beingsituated close to Foveaux Straits is exposed to morerainfall and sudden charges fhun the interior of the district, only seven milea due 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 Btipply of rain by no mean* exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and most part 3 of the North Island, while there ha 3 been very considerably les3 rainfall th.n in any part of the Colony.

University Laboratory, Dunedin, 21st October, 1878. TFhoma* Reynolds, Esq. Sir—l have the honor to report on five samples of Port Wine forwarded by you for ■analysis. These samples may all be described as full-flavored, fruity, aromatic Wines j possessing in a considerable degree that agree■able fragrance that characterises genuine Port. They do not contain impurities of any fcind. The perfect freeneas of these Wines from 'every kind of impurity, the proportion of sugar and alcohol which they contain being -quite characteristic of unadulterated, unxnanipulated Wine, together with their rich fragrance arising from aromatic ethers, ■shculd strongly recommend them, and gain for them a good place in the Colonial market.
