River Bank Road-line, about half a mile south of the cross-
ing of the Pahiatua-Mangahao Road. The distance from
Pahiatua is about four and a half miles, about four miles of
which are by dray-road. The land consists of alluvial flat
of excellent quality; the forest is mostly tawa, with oc-
casional ratas, &c., and the usual undergrowth. The section
is splendidly watered, as access can be had to the Mangahao
by crossing the river-bank reserve. Part of the land is
liable to occasional floods, but the section is, by situation
and quality, splendidly adapted for a small farm, fruit-
cultivation, &c.

These sections are situated within a radius of nine miles
from Pahiatua. The climate is moist and mild; the alti-
tude generally being between 400ft. and 700ft. above sea-
level.

Sections 40 and 41, Block I., Makuri, are fronting on the
main coach-road, about four and a half miles from Pahiatua
and six miles from Woodville. A terrace runs along the
front, but otherwise the sections are quite level. This area
is well watered, being bounded on the east by the Mangatai-
noka and Tiraumea Rivers. The soil is mostly river-deposit
resting on gravel. The forest is of mixed character, and
light; the under-scrub is as a rule thick. The trees consist
mostly of tawa, with rimu, rata, pukatea, and occasional
totara trees; the under-scrub of supplejack, mahoe, pungas,
whiwhi, horopito, &c.

Section 47, Block I., Makuri, is situated about four miles
from Pahiatua, on the North Tiraumea Road, which is
already formed into a dray-road. The section is nearly all
level. The soil is generally of good quality, though some-
what wet in places; the forest of mixed character, and the
trees of average size, being mostly tawa, with a few rimu,
rata, pukatea, hinau, and kahikatea; the under-scrub con-
sists of supplejacks, ramarama, pungas, horopito, houhou,
koromiko, &c.

Sections 90 to 93, Block VII., Mangahao, are situated
between the Mangatainoka and Mangahao Rivers, and at a
distance of from one to three miles from Pahiatua. Sections
91 and 93 are both fronting the Mangahao Road. Sec-
tion 90 fronts on to the Central Road (which, however, is not
yet felled), but it lies within 20 chains of the Mangahao
dray-road. The survey-line of the proposed Eketahuna-
Woodville Railway runs between Sections 91 and 93,
the proposed Pahiatua Station being directly between the
sections. Sections 90 and 91 are ridgy and gently
undulating, 93 being quite level. Section 90 is well
watered, but the others have no permanent surface-water.
The soil is generally excellent. The forest is mixed and
moderately heavy, with thick undergrowth, the trees con-
sisting of tawa, rimu, pukatea, hinau, rewarewa, and the scrub
of supplejacks, mahoe, pungas, konini, horopito, houhou, &c.
The Township of Scarborough adjoins the sections on the
south side.

Sections 43 to 48, Blocks XI. and XIV., Mangahao, are
