A comparison of the grasses in these meadows will be 
sufficient to show the difference,, Bad plants, grasses, and 
otherwise, prevailing in twenty-eight, whilst in twenty-nine 
these are much less, and good grasses more plentiful. 
I would now direct attention to Mr. Hussey's field, which 
is said to be very tart. This is quite on the upland or lias 
elevation and was described to me as being exceedingly rich ; 
so much so, indeed, that it had been mown for twenty years 
without any dressing, it was pronounced to have “ looked 
beautiful in spring.” At the time of my visit it had been 
depastured, and I saw the second growth of fresh grass, 
which certainly was not deficient in quantity; however, as 
regards its quality I can only pronounce that the species of 
grass show a soil with sufficient moisture, but cold and 
poor. 
The prevailing grasses are as follows; placed somewhat in 
their order of frequency : 
Arrlienatlierum avenacenm (oat-like grass.) 
Poa trivialis (rough-stalked meadow.) 
Holcus lanatus (wooly, soft, grass.) 
Hordeum pratense (meadow wild barley.)
