Terms of Payment: With the applications for deferred-

payment sections one-twentieth of the upset price must be

paid in cash, or by bank draft, or marked cheque; the

balance of the purchase-money in half-yearly instalments

extending over ten years.

The sections comprised in the above Schedules are situated

near Pahiatua, in the Mangaone Block, in the Kopuaranga

District, about Dreyer's Rock, near Dreyerton, and some of

them front upon or adjacent to the main road connecting

Masterton and Woodville. Branch roads have been formed

through, or leading to, the sections at Dreyer's Rock, Central

Mangaone, Hawera, and Pahiatua, at distances respectively

from Masterton of about fourteen miles, thirty-one miles,

thirty-five miles, and forty miles.

The railway is now being constructed to a point about

seventeen miles north of Masterton.

The whole of the sections are covered with forest, the

principal trees being tawa, rimu, hinau, rata, and kahi-

katea; the undergrowth is, as a rule, heavy; the general

character of the soil is good, and in some places is of first-

class quality, the formation being limestone, clay, marl,

sandstone, &c.

The country is generally hilly and undulating, but there

are large flats as well as broken ground within the area; it

is well watered, and, as the climate is also very favourable,

the land should, when cleared and brought into cultivation,

prove well adapted for pastoral and, to some extent, agricul-

tural purposes.

Maps, schedules, and application forms can be obtained

at the Land Office, Wellington; at the Post Offices, Feather-

ston, Greytown, Masterton, Woodville, Palmerston North,

Foxton, and Wanganui; and at the various Crown Land

Offices throughout the colony.
