SOIL FEOM ME YOUNG, HIGHFIELD, AYE. 



This soil was dark in colour, and contained only a small 

 quantity of gravel ; but I am unable to state its quantity, as it 

 was not separately weighed. The same is the case with the 

 subsoil, which is somewhat redder than the soil, but in all other 

 respects similar to it, though lighter and more sandy.
