soil with heavy bush; Sections 19, 21, and 24, light
bush, nearly flat.

This block is distant about sixty-three miles from
Napier, is intersected by the railway, and situated
between the Kopua and Ormondville Stations. In
Block V. the ground is undulating, the soil light, and
covered with forest, chiefly red and white pine.
Block VI. is of a similar character, except that there
are small quantities of totara mixed with other bush.
Sections 1 and 2, Block X., are good soil, but hilly.
The bush is suitable for mills, and, owing to facilities
of communication by railway, the trade in timber is
increasing.
