_ Lime is lacking right through the series; but for one exception 
this would be true of potash as well; of the latter there is a satis- 
factory amount in No. 195. The last 3 soils are poor in phosphoric 
oxide; there is a fair amount in Nos. 192 and 193, and No. 191 is 
really good in this particular. No. 194, I would remark in passing, 
is found by Mr. de Villiers, the occupant of the farm, to be very poor, 
the ears of corn generally shrivelling up without coming to perfection, 
whereas No. 195, though really even poorer in lime and phosphoric 
oxide, was stated by him to be very rich, due no doubt to the amount 
of potash it contains. | 
The samples collected from above the Witteberg beds were 10 in 
number, and the results of their analyses are given in the following
