ascertained,and these were McIntiore and
Edison. 1t is to be hoped that full JUS

without it, As to the quantity of gnano on
he islands, The estimate of it, BY the report
of Rear Admiral Moresby, is as follows:
Guano ofJirst quality:
On Northern Island, 5,5oO, 600 tons,
On Centre Island, 100000
On Southern Island 100000
Total 100000
"There may be other islands where guano
of this quality may be procured, but it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful if more than 2O,OOO,OOO
tons are in existence. The scarcity and
high price of this article should, therefore,
warn US not to lose any Of its value, by
falling to mix with it the particular substance
which soil may require, and that we
should not trust 10 it alone
"A chapter is also given on She inspec-
ton of mapures,' arguing strenuosly in favor
Of the system, in view Of the fact that there
are many different descriptions Of guano
and other concentrated fertilizers now COM
ing to market, which are sought for with
avidiiy by the farmers, and differing some
times materially in every cargo, and also
mineral phosphate Of lime Of varied quality,
and bone dust in several forms. An official
statement is given from the English Adm-
raj Morseby, showing that the guano for
merly sent to America was Of second quail
ty, while the best was 'alone selected for
the English Market The Admiral's re-
port, however, goes on to state tina, the A.
merican ships now take the superior quail
ty. Various instances are referred TO illus
uative of the liability Of farmers to decep-
ton and fraud in the matter, but which the
general advances of scientific intelligence in
this ege, and especially among farmers will
eventually serve more eflecually to guard
against than any Thing else.
"The balance of the report is taken up
with Allegany county, giving an interesting
general description of its surface and soil,
The coal lands, quantity and qualities of
coal-lhe iron ore, fire brick clay, limestone,
SC. The outline description of the county
furnishes a very clear idea of its preculiari-
ties. As general thing the agriculture Of
