7. The Luxembourg region occupies the angle of Belgium south of the 
Jine passing from Muno, near Sedan, to Attert, near Arlon. Leaving 
the bare or wooded crests of the Ardennes, the south-bound traveler 
finds a country of very different character from that which he has left 
behind—rich and fertile meadows, a milder climate, and more varied 
production. The soil contains copious mixtures of clay, linie, and marl ; 
spelt is replaced by wheat, and meslin is cultivated on a larger scale 
than rye. Area, 91,416 hectares, or 225,898 acres; population, 67,176, © 
or 190 per square mile.
