The black is the regur of other parts of India, its productive 

 properties being chiefly affected by the quantity of lime it may 

 contain. 



1st. The cutia regurree—^ stiff loam with little soluble mat- 

 ter and not much lime — in very rainy seasons this is found a good 

 soil for jowaree. 



2d. The regur — the well known soil of all India. 



3d. Paurah — good garden soil with about seven per cent, of 

 lime, too pulverized and not in fragments as in the two last. 



4th. Parvtee zumeen, also a garden soil, with about the same 

 proportion of Hme as the last, but that mineral not so much in 

 powder. 



5th. Sota zumeen — a whitish coloured soil, differing little from 

 the last — it is cultivated in the rains for the abee crop of rice. 



6th. Choona ka puttur ka regurree — a rough soil very rich in 

 lime — nearly twelve per cent. — good for jowaree, gram, &c. 



7th. Chowka regurree — a transition from the black to the red 

 soil — not much lime. 



8th. Cuttay sowda — a black soil, with quartz, pebbles and a 

 small proportion of lime, not above one per cent. 



9th. Rewa zumeen — a finely pulverized red soil well qualified 

 for poonass crops — it has a dash of lime in it. 



10. Yerrah chukkoo — also a red soil but not so fine as the last — 

 parts easily with its moisture — contains a small proportion of lime 

 — good soil for some of the poonass crops, yellow jowaree, bajree 

 tiUee, hurra mong. 



11th. Ghersoo hoomi — a strong red soil — fitted also for poo- 

 nass crops. 



12th. Pala sauroo. 



13th. Sallee doohhoo — mere sands, scarcely ever cropped — the 

 latter, it is said, may produce cooltee.

 were eight grains of the sub-carbonate of soda and four of deli-
