[A communication was likewise read from Dr Mueller, on behalf of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria, craving information from the society as to the quality of the soil, the kinds of crops mostly raised, the quantity of grain &c. produced, and how much is imported into the district, how much of the land in this quarter is under cultivation, &c.
