THE SOIL BEST ADAPTED TO ITS GROWTH. 



At Benares.— Light sand and clay mixed, such as barley and 

 wheat are grown on. 



Commercolly. — A dry black soil without any mixture of 

 sand. 



Hurriaul — Nearly an equal proportion of clay and sand,, 

 and on which water does not settle for any length of time. 

 Hurripaul. — A mixture of light clay and light earth. 

 Keerpoy. — Dry rich ground. 



Malda. — A mixed soil of sand and mould. It will not thrive 

 in ground that is very sandy, nor does it succeed in clay without a 

 mixture of sand. 



Rungpore. — A fine soft mould, the richer the better. A dry 

 tenacious soil, or a cold clay, are equally improper. The lands in 

 this district lying low, the highest are preferred. It is supposed 

 to thrive best on ground just sufficiently high to prevent its being 

 flooded.

 settle, and where the soil is of a mixed kind* consisting of sand and 

 earth.
