operations of the farm ; the course of cropping and manuring to 
be solely directed by the principal agriculturist. Twenty pro- 
prietors, subscribing 20Z. each per annum, would accomplish such 
an undertaking, and would soon add 20 per cent, to their present 
rental.

P. S. — Since the preceding was written 1 have received per- 
mission from Henry Sandbacb, Esq., of Hafodornos, Denbigh- 
shire, to announce his being the party who kindly furnished me 
with the information which appears in the preceding report re- 
specting their mode of improving some land in the Hiraethog 
range (which I had not the opportunity of visiting) which had 
previously been mismanaged. I make this acknowledgment the 
more readily as I have from several parties heard the spirited 
improvements of the Messrs. Sandbach spoken of in high terms.

Appendix. 
I HAVE to acknowledge myself indebted to several gentlemen who 
favoured me with their correspondence on matters cormected with the 
precedinK paper, for which favours I here respectfully take leave to return 
them, collectively and individually, my sincere thanks, for obtaining the 
addresses of several gentlemen who take an interest in agricultural im- 
provements. I feel particularly indebted to Messrs. Britton and Evans 
of Chester, the respective editor and publisher of that cheap and useful 
little work the ' Farmer's Herald,' which I was glad to perceive was un- 
ostentatiously making its way in many a remote nook and glen in Nortli 
Wales, doubtless acting as the pioneer of future improvement. Of the 
three letters quoted in the report, one respecting the agriculture of the 
vicinity of Dolgelly is from my old and esteemed acquaintance, .lames 
Taylor, Esq., of Plas Gwanas : the one on the farming of the Vale of 
Clwyd is from Thomas Jenkins, Esq., of Plas y Ward, near Ruthin; 
the other letter, on the mode adopted at Hafodornos for improving 
worn-out or neglected lands, is from Henry Sandbach, Esq., of that 
place. On all hands I have heard warm praise of the improvements 
effected on their estates by the Messrs. Sandbach.

Independent of the various rocks described by lines, it must be re- 
marked that nearly the whole of the country left blank and bordering 
on England belongs to the coal-measures ; as is also that part of Flint 
which borders on the estuary of the Dee ; the space left blank in the Isle 
of Anglesea also represents the coal-measures. The extensive alpine 
country extending from the Mcnai Straits to Machynlleth is princi- 
pally composed of igneous intermi.xed with »late and grauwacke rocks, a 
large portion of which belongs to the Cambrian svstem.
