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 Government, and by the excellent Con-
stabulary bridle-road from Fraser Town to Lake
Waikaremoana. The average height of these lands
is about 1,000 feet.

TARAMARAMA SURVEY DISTRICT.

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
fourteen 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 application, and the balance within
one month thereafter.
Crown-grant fee to be paid on completion of pur-
chase.
