Wellington.

The lands open for selection in this district comprise 122,858 acres, either surveyed or unsurveyed, scattered in various parts of the district, and are of various qualities, but nearly always good. The land is mostly covered with forest, a good deal of it broken, but well suited for grazing purposes, the soil being good and often formed by the papa or marl before referred to, or by decomposed slates. The limestone lands of the eastern districts are very rich, and take grass remarkably well. Prices vary from 10s. up to £2 an acre, according to position and quality.
