CASH SECTIONS.

Description of Sections: These sections are situated in the Wanganui Harbour Board Block, Oroua County, on or adjacent to the Oroua River, and comprise generally hilly undulating 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.
