139. When a survey made under the Land Transfer Act
     differs materially from the Crown grant or public map, the
     Chief Surveyor, before altering or rectifying the records of
     his department to enable a correct certificate of title to be
     issued, will, if he deem it necessary, require a verifying sur-
     vey to be made by another surveyor, to be approved of by
     him, to determine the correctness or otherwise of the de-
     posited or of the original survey.

140. The required declaration shall be made on the margin
     of large plans, and on the back of those of a small size.

141. All surveys under the Land Transfer Act to be sub-
     stantially pegged on the ground, such pegs to be not less
     than 3in. by 2in. scantling of the heart of totara, kowhai,
     blue gum, kauri, matai (black pine), puriri, or hinau, not
     less than 18in. or 24in. long, to be driven 15in. or 21in. into
     the ground, according to the nature of the soil, the hole having
     first been driven by an iron jumper; the pegs to be branded
     with the allotment number, with not less than 1in. figures
     branded one-eighth of an inch into the wood. At frontage
     pegs of rural and suburban lands, when practicable, trenches
     at least 2ft. long, 9in. deep, and 9in. wide, and not less than
     2ft. therefrom, to be cut in the direction of boundary lines.
     Where wooden pegs cannot be driven, as in cities, iron bolts
     or spikes are to be used instead.

142. The position of the pegs to be shown on the plan
     by a red circle; old pegs, when found, by a black circle;
     the position of lockspits or other original marks to be shown
     on plan if necessary. In all cases in which lands are subdi-
     vided for townships at least four iron pegs, not less than 1in.
     square and 18in. long, reciprocally visible from one another,
     should be driven in the street 25 links off the section lines,
     to which reference may be made in cases of dispute. Where
     the boundaries on the ground differ materially from the
     Crown-grant boundaries such Crown-grant boundaries to be
     shown by dotted black lines.

143. Plans returned to surveyors for correction are to be
     at once amended as directed.

144. All plans for use under the Land Transfer Act are to
     be signed by the proprietor of the land, or by his lawfully
     authorized attorney or agent.
