Of the different Soils referred to in the Appendix. 
In books on agriculture and gardening much uncertainty 
and confusion arises from the want of regular definitions of 
the various soils, to distinguish them specifically by the 
names generally used : thus the term ‘bog-earth’ is almost 
constantly confounded with peat-moss, and heath-soil ; also 
the terms 4 light loam,’ 4 heavy soil,’ &c. are given without 
distinguishing whether that be ‘light’ from sand, or this 
‘heavy’ from clay. In minute experiments, it is doubtless 
of consequence to be as explicit as possible in those par- 
ticulars. The following short descriptions of such soils as

grasses cut at the time the seed was ripe, the seeds were always separ- 
ated: and the calculations for nutritive matter, as is evident from the 
details, made for grass and not hay.
