A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Registration Act, 1858," it is
enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor
at any time by proclamation in the New Zealand
Gazette to divide the Colony of New Zealand for the
purposes of the said Act into such and so many
districts as he may think fit, and that every such
district shall be called by a distinct name, and shall
be a Registrar's district; and it is provided that the
Governor may at any time revoke the whole or any
part of such proclamation, and issue a new proclama-
tion dividing the Colony or any part of it anew into
districts, or increasing the number or altering the
boundaries of districts as from time to time he may
think requisite.

And whereas by a proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the thirteenth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did constitute two districts for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Nokomai and
Switzers" and the "Popotuna" districts, the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said proclamation came into operation and took effect
on the tenth day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seven.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said proclamation as relates to the said districts,
and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised
within such districts :

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of the said Colony, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority vested in me by
the said recited Act, do hereby revoke the said procla-
mation so far as relates to the "Nokomai and
Switzers" and the "Popotuna" districts, and do
proclaim and declare that the territory formerly
comprised within such districts shall be and is
hereby divided for the purposes of the said Act into
three districts, the names and boundaries whereof
shall be as follows:—

Tapanui District

Comprises all that area bounded towards the West
by the Waikaka Stream from the Pukerau Junction
to the source of its eastern branch; thence by a line
to the Leithern Burn, and by the Leithern Burn to
the Pomahaka River; thence by the Pomahaka
River to the junction of Spylaw Burn; thence
towards the North by Spylaw Burn to Spylaw Hill;
thence by the Mount Benger District and the
Clutha River to a point due East of the summit;
thence West to the summit; thence by the Tapanui
Ranges to the Pomahaka River at the Waipaki
Junction; and thence towards the South by a line
due West to the Pukerau Stream; and by the
Pukerau Stream to the Waikaka Stream, the starting
point.

Comprises all that area bounded by a line from Lorn
Peak, near the southern extremity of Lake Wakatipu,
westwards to a point in the boundary of the Pro-
vince of Southland two miles above the junction of

along the Mataura River to the junction of the
