VI., VII., VIII., IX., XI., XIII., XIV., XV., XVI., XVII.,
third-class land, broken hills, covered with fern, tutu, and a
little grass, suitable for runs. Many of these blocks have
timber, such as red pine and totara, on them. They are all well
watered, and are accessible from Clyde, Wairoa, by a bridle
road lately formed, partly through some of them, by the Govern-
ment, and by the excellent Constabulary bridle road from
Fraser Town to Lake Waikaremoana. The average height of
these lands is about 1,000 feet.

Description of Land.---These sections are a good deal
broken, but suitable as runs. The soil is light, pumiceous or
vegetable on the hills, with rich alluvial marly deposits along
the main and other river flats. A little bush is to be found in
the gullies, but not sufficient for fencing purposes. Abundance
of water everywhere. A well-made bridle road runs along the
Waikaretaheke River, giving access to several of these sections,
the nearest of which is distant about 14 miles from Clyde,
Wairoa.

NOTE.---Plans may be seen, and further particulars of the
land obtained, on application at this office, and at the office of
the Resident Magistrate, Clyde.

Terms of Sale: One-fourth of purchase-money to be paid at
