M.S. will shortly be paying. CONDITION OF ESTATE-Excepting 400 Orlongs of hilly land on fer virgia juigle, practically the whole estate is opened up and has once been under cultivation. Where cultivation has bean suspended for some time, patches of tallang bave grown, but for the most part, these areas baze come up in grass and weeds which can very easily be got rid of, DRAINAGE —The land is mostly undulating and requires little drainage.

force is easily procurable'in the immediata neighbourhood. BUILDINGS-The buildings on the Estate consist of a Tapioca factory, which is partly roofed with corrugated iron and partly with attep, also two Chinese Kongen honges, twenty attap coolia lizes and a godowa). The factory should prove useful later on as a rubber-drying shed. | SUNDRIES. These figure as a carts, 30 buffaloan, and 12 bullocks.

GENERAL --The Part trees are mentioned as looking healthy and shewing average growth. The younger coconuts look beliby though somewhat retarded, whereis the 4 years old traes are mentioned as being exceptionally good, as some of them are already in flower. The 101 trees are reported to be bearing profusely, thus affording reliable proof of the excel. lence of the soil.

The expert advises that the tapioca fields be planted with robber as soon as possible, as they are mostly clean, and he observes that an energetic man sger should be able to plant up 650 to 700 Acres inside twelve months at a comparatively small cost TIN-The expert-also states as follows:-"I feel pretty certain there is Tia on a portion of the land which it is proposed to acquire, and it will be a question for for her consideration whether boring should be attempted.
