TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CON- TRACT SURVEYS.
Any Person desirous of Contracting for Sur- veys, will make application to the Surveyor- General, who, after informing himself as to the qualifications of the applicant, will grant him a License.
When such Licensed Surveyor is about to un- dertake a Survey, his License will have to be deposited with the Surveyor-General, and will not be returned to him should his Survey be found incorrect or defective.
The following clause of the "Land Claims' Ordinance," Session II, No. 14, clause 5, will regulate the figure of the Block of Lands :—
"5. The Land, to be granted at the recom- "mendation of the Commissioners, may be selected " by the person entitled to such grant out of "the Land claimed by him: Provided that "the Land so to he selected shall be in one " Block, to be as nearly as possible a rectangular " figure, the breadth of which shall not be more " than half its length: Provided also, that when "the Block so to be granted shall be bounded " by the sea, or a river, the rectangle aforesaid " shall be so placed that the narrow side, or "breadth, shall be bounded by the sea, or any "such river, and that the length of the rectangle " shall run back from the sea, or river, as near " as possible at right angles to their general di- "rection."
The land selected by the claimant, is to be surrounded by a line cut through the existing
fern, tea-tree, or tupaki, or other shrubs, as well as through woods, and not to be less than four feet wide; at every twenty chains upon such line, a hole is to be dug, three feet deep and three feet in diameter: in the centre of such hole a picket is to be driven, and of such a height that its top shall be on a level with the sur- rounding ground. In fern land, a stake will have to be placed close beside the picket, and of such height that it shall be two feet, at least, above the fern on either side the top to be painted white to the depth of two feet.
Diverging from such holes in the direction of the boundary lines, two trenches will have to be dug, three feet long, eighteen inches deep, and eighteen inches breadth, so as to point out the course of the boundaries, Thus—

Where stones are conveniently to be procured, a heap of them will have to be placed over such holes, trenches, and pickets, at the four corners of the Blocks surveyed, so as to point them out, and preserve these land-marks from de- struction.
SCALES.—The Surveys to be laid down on the following scales, according to their extent :—
Under 100 acres, 2 chains to the inch.
From 100 acres to 1000, 5 chains to the inch.
From 1000 and upwards, 10 chains to the inch.
