precarioufnefs of the weather being much againft 

 the raifing of corn crops. There are about 600 

 acres in the neighbourhood of Torvin, adjoining 

 the property of Mr. Corbet, of which, 300 acres 

 are peat or turf, 200 fiuid, and 100 ftrong clay, 

 which are not at prefent worth 6d. per acre ; but, by 

 being embanked and drained, might be made worth 

 20s. per acre, at leafl:. Upon the river Dovey there 

 are 500 acres private property, not now worth 5s, 

 per acre, but, by embanking and draining, might be 

 made worth 2I. per acre j and I was informed the 

 whole expence would not exceed 300I. 



At Traeth-Mawr and Traeth-Byehar, there are 

 about 4000 acres, which are common, and capable 

 of the highefl improvement, by embanking and 

 draining. Harlach-Marfli, coufifting of about 600 

 acres, is alfo very capable of improvement, and at a 

 very fmall expence, as neither much embanking nor 

 draining is required; there is alfo a great quantity of 

 land in the interior parts of this county that requires 

 to be drained and inclofed.
