surveyed, and bearings must be taken from con-
venient points in the survey on any remarkable hills
or other known landmarks in sight.

Boundary Lines.
37. All boundary lines must be distinctly marked
on the ground, and when in forest, or high fern, or
scrub, they must be cut and cleared four feet wide.

Angles.
38. All angles in boundary lines must be per-
manently marked by pegs of hard wood, not less
than three inches square and twenty-four inches
long, driven at least twelve inches into the ground,
and, when not in forest angles, are to be further
marked by trenches, three feet long, ten inches wide,
and nine inches deep, commencing one foot from the
peg and cut in the direction of each line.

Natural Features and Names.

the country, met with in the survey, or existing
within the land surveyed, are to be properly fixed,
and their Native names ascertained as far as possible.

chains to an inch; above two thousand acres, twenty
chains to an inch.

on the map, together with the name and ownership,
as far as these can be ascertained, of the adjoining
lands.

45. When islands, lying adjacent to the mainland,
    are intended to be included in a claim, they must be
    tinted pink, and their names and areas written on
    them, and they must be included in the title of the
    map by name, and if no name is known, by a
    referring number.

Meridian and Scale.
46. The meridian used is to be plainly drawn on
the map, and the scale either drawn or written.

Title of Map.
47. Every map must have a plain title, stating the
name of the block, which must correspond with the
name stated in the claim, the county or district in
which it is situated, and the name in full of the
surveyor.

Certificate on Map.
48. A certificate is to be written on every plan,
and signed by the surveyor, certifying that all
boundary lines have been distinctly marked on the
ground, that the lines have been properly cut and
chained as indicated, and that all the work has been
performed under his own inspection.

examining Surveyor if required by him.

which the surveyor may decline to comply with any
requisitions made by the Inspector, or to conform to
any general instructions to be from time to time
issued by him.

Protection of Crown.
54. The Chief Provincial Surveyor shall forward to
the proper Commissioner of Crown Lands informa-
tion of any encroachment or apparent encroachment
on granted or Crown Lands, so that the interest of
the Crown and its grantees may be protected before
the Court.

tion for as long a period as possible before the sitting
