' These acreages do not agree with those given in tlie “Agricultural 
Returns ” of 1890, owing to 3 acres in the county of Gloucester and 4 acres in 
the county of Suffolk having been originally returned in error, and to the re- 
turns for parts of the counties of Hereford, Salop, and Worcester having been 
originally made in hop acres instead of statute acres, causing a reduction of 
443 acres in Hereford, 12 in Salop, and 133 in Worcester.
