The land is from .20 miles north to 16 mJea aoath of the latitude of the month of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clutha River at its mouth, Invercargill being 3 miles due south of the latitude of the Clutha, the height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of -the 805118 «ny jn the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but first-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby the farmer to keep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping: manure his landbyfeedingoff his green cropwith sheep and cattle, and keep lam independent of a bad market for any particular cereal. AH over the district tnere is nr3uclass limestone cropping ca & fernuee the limit when it may require it. Forests ot la mi 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 intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreta, and Mataura Rivers; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway at Lumademruns through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dunedin main hne at Gore,"and a line through the Forest Jiiil 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 cost. The average yield of cereals per acre, takes from the statistics of the Co.ony for the years 1873 to 1878, as compared with Canterbury, are as follow : The subjoined tables give the average temperature at InveroorgUl, Dunedin, and Christchurch, the commercial centres or the districts. It may be remarked that earsrili beingsituated close toFoveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall and sudden changes the 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 prized for grass and root crops. The expenZwc* of the last few years leads to the conviction that for all-round agriculture the sapolT of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invorcargill has averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and most parts of the North Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall in any part of the Colony.
