And whereas by "The Waste Lands Administra-
tion Act, 1876," it is provided that it shall be lawful
for the Governor to exercise the power aforesaid on
the recommendation of the Waste Lands Board of
Otago, in lieu and instead of on the recommendation
of the Superintendent and Provincial Council thereof:
And whereas by the first-named Act it is also
further provided that no hundred shall be consti-
tuted which shall consist wholly of land unsuitable

only; and before any hundred shall be constituted,
it shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Crown
Lands and Chief Surveyor to certify to the Governor
that, in their opinion, not less than one-third part
of the area of such hundred is land available for
agriculture:
And whereas the Waste Lands Board of Otago
have recommended that each of the three portions
of waste lands particularly described in the three
Schedules hereto respectively should be proclaimed
to be a hundred under the provisions of the said
Act:
And whereas the said three portions respectively do
not form part of any hundred previously proclaimed,
and the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Chief

in accordance with the hereinbefore recited provisions
of the first-named Act, certified to the Governor, as
to each of such portions hereinafter in the said three
Schedules respectively described, that in their opinion
not less than one-third part of the area thereof
respectively is land available for agriculture:
And whereas it is expedient that effect should be
given to the said recommendation of the Waste
Lands Board of Otago:
Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers vested in me by the hereinbefore in part
recited Acts, do hereby proclaim that each of the
three portions of the waste lands particularly de-
scribed in the three Schedules hereto respectively
