THE NEW COUNTIES,HUNDREDS, AND DISTRICTATLAS OF SOUTH USTRI3,LIA AND TOISTHERN TE1FITORY. l / J / 18"76. TO THE PUBLIC OSOUTH AUSTRALIA. IN submitting this work the compiler has availed himself of every description of data that would be esteemed useful, and from the courteous manner in which the heads of Departments cheerfully accorded all the information in their power, this ATLAS may be said to be the most perfect work of the kind ever published. The area and population of each county, and the mineral localities of the entire colony to date, will be found thoroughly authentic. The areas and the newly explored country rouna Lake Eyre will be found also accurate; while the Northern Territory divisions completes the whole colony, from the Gulf of St. Vincent to Port Darwin. F. S. CARROLL. March, 1876. The total area devoted to the cultivation of wheat was, up to the middle of 1875, 839,638 acres, while the increase upon the opening of the Northern agricultural areas has reached the number of 1,264,397 acres, being an increase of 424,759 acres-the whole yielding upwards of 15,000,000 bushels of wheat. The land under cultivation, as taken from the returns furnished in the middle of 1875, was upwards of 1,330,020 acres, the increase since that period being upwards of 630,000 acres- thus giving the total land under cultivation to date, 1,960,320 acres, the average yield per acre for South Australia was, in 1875, over 12.12 bushels, giving for the colony, 10,126,542 bushels. I'he MAPS showing the Northern Territory and the Overland Telegraph route were kindly furnished by CHARLES TODD, C.M.G., Postmaster-General, and Super- intendent of Telegraphs, and will be found perfectly authentic to date. In the far North large blocks have been taken up both sides of the line of telegraph, but, as they have not been surveyed, it was desirable that the approximate position should not even be shown. The MAPS being sufficiently large, the Subscribers can plot out any blocks selected from time to time, thus enhancing the value of the ATLAS as a work of reference.
