with the main course of the streams. Thus for instance, a heavier 

 ridge runs perhaps from Woodbine (with an interval of lighter soil 

 along the course of the Bara-hapjan) through Hukanguri, and touches 

 the corner of Hansara. Immediately to the north of this lies a 

 ridge of very light character through Hilika, Pabbojan, Dhoedam 

 and the bulk of Hansara and Beesocopi. To the north of this 

 another heavier band, chiefly in jungle, occurs, and then the 

 Tippuk line, again of somewhat lighter character, becoming a little 

 heavier as one approaches Talup. Though different in physical 

 character all these soils are of similar richness, but naturally the tea 

 is most luxuriant in the soil of lighter character. The following 

 are the analyses of some soils from these ridges, The first set are 

 from the more sandy and lighter sections : 



The heavier sections yield on analysis as follows :
