One sandy soil was collected from the vine plantation lying south- 

 east of Princess Vlei. The peculiar characteristic of this soil, and of a 

 large area whereof it is typical, is that stone fruits are not found to do 

 well, whereas apples and pears thrive upon it. 



The clay underlying the Government Forest Plantation at Uitvlugt 

 is represented by samples 68 and 69 : these typify the portions of the 

 estate where the tree growth is finest, No. 68 being a yellow and No. 69 a 

 white clay. Nos. 65, 66, and 67 were sands from the Eppiiig Forest at 

 Uitvlugt, a Government plantation on one of the poorest parts of the 

 Cape Flats, where an area of about 4,000 acres has been planted with 

 Cluster Pine and Wattles. 



The results of the analyses of the soils from the Cape Division are 

 tabulated below :
