REGULATIONS.

The close season for rock-oysters prescribed by the regulations made under the said Act by Order in Council bearing date the twenty-seventh day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, is hereby declared to commence from the date hereof, and is also extended, as also the operation of the said recited regulations, until the thirty-first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, in respect of the foreshore of the coast in Hauraki Gulf and Frith of Thames within a line drawn from Point Rodney to the mouth of the Waikawhau River, situated on the west coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, and which river forms one of the boundaries of the County of Coromandel, and also in respect of the foreshores of all islands in that portion of the Hauraki Gulf and the Frith of Thames lying to the southward and westward of a line drawn from Point Rodney to Cape Colville, and also in respect of the foreshores of the coast and all islands adjacent thereto between Ngatoka Rarangui Point on the north, and Bream Head on the south.
