issue Proclamations from time to time defining dis-
tricts of the colony to be subject to the said Act,
being localities in which there are considerable
numbers of the ngawha, waiariki, or hot or mineral

the said Act it is also enacted that, until otherwise
ordered by the General Assembly, the said Act shall
be in force within the Counties of Tauranga and East
Taupo only: And whereas the territory described
in the Schedule hereto is situate in the said Counties
of Tauranga and East Taupo, and is a locality in

hereto, being a locality in which there are consider-
