Overview

Excerpt from Report on the Geology and Agricultural Resources of the Southern Division of the State The geological survey of the southern division of the state has been continued, either in the field or in the laboratory, during the entire year. The final report on the geology of the county of Cape May has been finished, and is now in the printers hands. It is expected that it will be published in the early part of January. In regard to this county, it may be stated, that although there is but little variety in its geological formations, and though it has no mineral wealth, it has in its soil and climate peculiar advantages for agricultural improvement. The price of land is low and a large portion of the best soil in the county is still unimproved. Considerable space has been occupied in describing the different fertilizers which are found, and in detailing the methods by which they may be made useful. The agricultural resources of Cape May, when properly developed, will add largely to the wealth of the state; and it is hoped that the geological and agricultural report, with the topographical map of the county, by Lieutenant Tide, will reader important service towards this object. Several contributions have been made to the Cape May report, which add materially to its interest and value. Thos. Beesley, Esq., of Dennisviile, has furnished a list of the larger wild animals of the county, and a very full catalogue of its birds. He has also commenced collecting birds for preservation in the state cabinet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
