 wry metaofcrop; more especially for Peas, Beans, Turnips, 

 Miagr \\ urzel, and other root crops. It will produce a greater 

 return for the outlay than Guano or any other manure at an 

 equivalent value: it also possesses the property of retaining its

MEETINGS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK. 



Wedkesdat, June 20— Afrricultural Society of England. 



♦ 



The value of phosphate of lime as a manure has 

 been long an establii-hed fact. The history of the 

 use of bonedust, of* the use of coprolitea in its 

 place, of Dr. DaubenyV travels in Spain in search 

 of the mineral phosphate, of Mr. Paink's discoveries 

 in the beds immediately under the chalk, furnishes 

 abundant proof of the estimation in which this 

 mineral is justly held by agriculturists. It was, 

 therefore, with great interest that we read the 

 following letter, communicated to us by Mr. Wkit- 



of Kendal, in reference to his discovery of

the mineral phosphate in Connemara. 



" In 1851 or 1852, I was led to suspect that there 

 ight be phosphate of lime in Connemara ; this arose 

 om reading an article in the Agricultural Gt 

 on the localities and circumstances in which mineral 

 phosphate of lime is found, especially in the United 

 States. 



" I accordingly examined the district with great 

 care, and especially the beds of primitive limestone 

 and the neighbouring strata, and got several speci- 

 mens analysed, and below I give you the result. 

 Some of the old lands, where the rocks are found, 

 were for sale ; but the price asked was too high to 

 have made it worth the risk of purchase. You see 

 that the following table shows a considerable 

 amount of phosphate of lime, which might be made 

 very useful, and perhaps more valuable beds might 

 be "found which would be worth exporting.
