✨ Census District Boundaries
- Ashley Sub-District.
This district comprises all that portion of the province lying north of the south bank of the river Waiamakariri, and of a direct line from the source of that river to the mouth of the river Brunner or Arahura, exclusive of the Kaiapoi Town and Country districts.
- Malvern Sub-District.
This district comprises all that portion of the province bounded on the north by the Ashley district, on the east by the Avon, Heathcote and Lyttelton Country Districts, and the sea coast, on the west by the sea coast, and on the south by the north bank of the Rakaia river, from the mouth to the first fork of the river above the gorge, thence by a direct line to Bold Head or Parimata, on the West Coast.
11.—Ashburton Sub-District.
This district comprises all that portion of the province lying between the Malvern District and the southern boundary of the General Census District, between the Hurunui and the Rangitata.
N.B.—The above districts are nearly coterminous with those for provincial elections and for the last census taken under the Provincial Census Ordinance. The exceptions are the cases of Lyttelton and Kaiapoi noticed above, and the Pastoral Districts; in the latter cases an alteration is required, a portion only of the province being included in the sub-division.
