The uplands for the most part are dismal to the eye and of verysmall economical value; but the inhabited parts together with the hill slopes adjacent to them are pleasant and beautiful, comparatively fertile in soil and affording some noble expances of picturesque scenery.

The soil in the lower valley is alluvial and in some places has a depth of ten or twelve feet." Fullertons Imperial Gazetteer |
