there. Grass seems to take well where the fern has been burnt
off. On adjacent lands near the coast the fern has very
generally disappeared from the hills, before the fires and the
sheep, and they are now covered with a fine sward of the
"native poa" grass, which seems to extend itself immediately
the surface is denuded of fern; and these same hills are
described as having been a few years since as thickly covered
with fern and tutu as the country now open in the Wairoa
Block.

Description of Land.— Block III., broken fern and tutu
hills, soil good, light vegetation, a little bush. Block IV., Sec-
tions 1, 2, 3, 4, undulating, fern, tutu, and grass hills, excellent
soil on river flats. A well-formed bridle road runs through
these sections. Block X., Section 1, broken fern and tutu hills;
Section 2, broken fern and tutu hills, with a little bush, excellent
soil on river flat; Sections 3 and 4, undulating, fern and tutu
hills with a little bush, excellent soil on river flats; Section 6,
broken fern and tutu hills, excellent soil on river flat. A well-
formed bridle road runs through Sections 2, 3, and 4. Blocks
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
time of sale, and the balance within one month thereafter,
otherwise the part of the purchase-money paid by way of
deposit shall be forfeited, and the contract for the sale of the
land shall henceforward be null and void.

Crown-grant fee to be paid on completion of purchase.
