Area.
One hundred thousand square miles, or one-seventh less than Great Britain and Ireland.
Of the 61,000,000 acres, two-thirds are suited to agriculture and grazing.
The area of the North Island is about three-fourths of that of England and Wales, and the Middle Island has an equal area.
There are about 28½ million acres in North Island, and rather less than 37½ million acres in the Middle Island.
