The country, he says, was " diversified with woods, lawns, and marshes. . . . The woods are free from underwood of every kind, and the trees are at such a distance from one another, that the whole country, or at least great part of it, might be cultivated without being obliged to cut down a single tree.^ We found the soil everywhere, except in the marshes, to be of a light white sand, and produceth a quantity of good grass, which grows in little tufts about as big as one can hold in one's hand,... and pretty close to one another ; in this manner the surface of the ground is coated. " One hesitates to criticise the agricultural notions of a farmer's son, especially when the farmer's son is James Cook. But may one ask is " light white sand " particularly suitable for "cultivation". '^ In fact, no cultivators have yet tried the experiment, and the "light white sand" still remains unfurrowed and undug a few miles away from a population of three quarters of a million. I understand, however, that there are horses in the bush who agree with Cook that the grass which it produceth is " good.
