AUGE, a territory of Normandy in France, which gives title to a viscount. It extends from Falaise and Argenton as far as the sea, between the rivers Dives, Vie, and Tongues. The arable land is stiff, and produces but little good corn: but they sow sainfoin; which succeeds so well that they have five good crops successively; they likewise sow flax and hemp; and have a vast quantity of apples, with which they make cy-
der. Horses are bred here in great numbers; and the inhabitants fatten the oxen which come from Poictou and Brittany.
