Falkland Islands.

A cluster of Islands in the South Atlantic about 300 miles east of the Straits of Magellan, held for the protection of the whale fishery.

The Tussac Grass (see exhibits) grows to the height of 7 feet, and is very fattening for cattle. Sheep do well, and their wool fetches a high price in London. The first cargo of frozen mutton (30,000 carcases) has reached England a few weeks since.
