SCHEDULE.

Description of Sections: These sections are situated in the
Wanganui Harbour Board Block, Oroua County, on or adja-
cent to the Oroua River, and comprise generally hilly undu-
lating land with extensive flats in places, some of the sections
being nearly all level, though those in Block II. are more

broken. The area is covered generally with forest of tawa,
rimu, &c.; there is totara on some of the sections, and also a
considerable amount of light bush or scrub. The soil is
mostly of good quality, and the block should when cleared
be well suited for agricultural and pastoral purposes. The
access is by the Taonui Zigzag-lines and the Oroua River-bed.
The Wanganui Harbour Board is now engaged in doing some
bush-work and track-formation on Pollock's and Awa Roads.
