All over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the when it miy require it. Forests of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for buiHing and fencing, and coal (Hgnite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable.; The distxiot is further intersected by rail ways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Mataars Rivera; while a loop line from the Invercarjnll to Kingston Railway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dunedin main line at Gore,-and a line through tbe F oresfcHillDistriet will be constructed shortly.

It may be remarked that Invercargill being situated clo«e toFoveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall andsudden changes than tbe interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier and" warmer, tut along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prised for grass and roofc crops. The expenjmrm of the last few years leads to the conviction that for all-round agriculture the supply of rain by no means exceeds the reetuxexnenta of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged lijohw than any part of thfl Middle Island, pti/t most parts of the North Island, wnpe there has been very considerably les3 rainfall in any part of the Colony.
