FRANCE - MiSCElvIyANEOUS 



Yet in order to appreciate the relative value of the unbuilt on land in 

 the various parts of the coimtry we must consider the average per ha. 

 assigned to it. We shall consider the results of the work of valuation 

 from this point of view. 



It has seemed advisable, in order that the explanations following may- 

 be better understood, to divide France into regions, based as far as possible 

 on the geographical position of the departments, the character and fertility 

 of the soil, the kind of produce and its value, the principal crops etc. 



These regions, eleven in number, consist of the following depart- 

 ments. (The Department of Seine is not here considered) :
