The quantities of Land in "permanent artificial grass" returned for several of the Holdings is considered excessive, as in many cases they include a large acreage of surface-sown seed, the growth of
which has been over-estimated. In regard to this the Superintendent Collector remarks, "I have arrived at the conclusion that 35,000 acres should be taken off the 201,509 acres, leaving 166,509 acres as a
much better approximation than the actual Returns received."

WM. R. E. BROWN, Registrar-General.
