The land is from 20.miles north to 16 miles south of the' latitude of the" ; ihouth of the Taieri 'River, "and is all from 2 to 3Smiles to the north ward of the Clutha River at its mouth, Invorcargill being 3 miles 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 is peculiarly, adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, .thereby enabling' the farmer to keep his land in I perfect heart by,a rotation of cropping; j miinure his landbyfeedingcfFhisgreeu crops with sheep and.cattle,, and. ke p hiiii'inde'pendent of a-■!sad market for any-particular cereal. A 1 over the district..there is first.class'limestone cropp'ng out to fertilise the land .when it may require-it. Forests of laree extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (hgnite and the best brown' coals)-for fuel everywhere'obtainable; The distriot is further intersected-.by-railways, which open up the; great valleys of Apatima, Oreti, and ;Mataura Rivers ; while a loop Hue from the Invercargill to -Kingston Railway at Lmhsdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joias'the Inveroargiil to Dunedin main .line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill l District will be constructed shortly.

The subjoined tables give. the average temperature at Invereargill, Duuedin;"ahd' Christchureh, the commercial centres of thedistricts, It may be remarked that : layer-' oargill being situated close toFoveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall and sudden changes than the interior of the district, .only seven miles due north, where the olimate 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 supply of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. _ This year the thermometer at Invereargill has averaged higher than any part qf tug 'Middle 'lsland, and rnqsfc parts pf the. North Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall than in any part of, the Colony.
