Huntingdon (or Southern) Division, The, parlia-
mentary division of Huntingdonshire, pop. 27,412.

Huntingdonshire, Huntingdon, or Hunts, inland
co., South Midland District, England ; is bounded AV.
andN. by Northamptonshire, E. by Cambridgeshire, and

S. by Bedfordshire; greatest length, N. and S., 30 miles ;
greatest breadth, E. and AV., 23 miles; 229,515 ac.;
pop. 59,491. About a fourth of the co. (in the NE.)
forms a portion of the great “fen” district, the
remainder consisting of a succession of gentle hills
and dales. Huntingdonshire is almost wholly devoid
of trees, and may be described as an agricultural and
pastoral co. Scientific farming has of late greatly
stimulated the productiveness of the soil, and the
arable farms of the upland districts are peculiarly
noted for superior grain. Green crops, also of excel-
lent quality, are obtained, while market gardening and
cattle rearing form profitable employments. Willows
are the chief product of the fen district. (For agricul-
tural statistics, see Appendix.) The Nen, in the N.
and NAV., and the Ouse, in the interior, are the chief
rivers ; both are navigable for barges. The geology of
Huntingdonshire belongs to the Oolite system: many
fossils are found, and the hills on the W. abound with
stone brash, or forest marble. With the exception of
papermaking and the preparation of parchment, there
are no mfrs. of more than local importance. The co.
is almost entirely in the diocese of Ely. It contains 4
hundreds; 103 pars., with parts of 6 others; the mun.
bors. of Huntingdon, Godmanchester, and St Ives ; and
a part of the city of Peterborough. For parliamentary
purposes the county is divided into 2 divisions—viz.,
Huntingdon or Southern, and Ramsey or Northern—
each returning 1 member.
