The upper boundary of this piece of land is Mr. Porter's line. The lower boundary was surveyed by

lines were surveyed by Mr. Stuart with Piripi and
others. The survey poles on the northern side were
erected by Piripi and Hare; those on the south-
eastern side were erected by Rihari and Motuarama.
This block contains 3,300 acres. This block was for-
merly of larger dimensions, but has now been reduced
by Dr. Featherston; Mr. Porter and Piripi laid off
the line reducing it, viz., the lower boundary line.

the Waitotara and Ohie Rivers. Mr. Stuart, as-
sisted by Hetaraka and Hare, surveyed this block,
