Description of Land.—The land is excellent pastoral country. The carrying capacity of the land when cleared and grassed, judging from the results obtained by the settlers on the adjoining bush lands, is three cross-bred sheep to an acre. The formation is a limestone and marl (papa). The bush is mixed, generally of a light description. The main line of road, now in course of formation from the sea-coast at Wainui, connecting with the Napier-Wellington Railway at Tahoraite, runs through the centre of the Tautane Block. The shipping-place for the district, at which the small coastal steamers call, is at Cape Turnagain.
