Mar. 13.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 281

Description of Land: This land is situated between Kumeroa and the boundary of the Wellington District, distant about four miles from Kumeroa Village, and adjoining the settled land in that neighbourhood.

Although high and somewhat broken in parts, the land is of good quality, with plenty of water, and well adapted for grazing purposes. It carries mixed forest, tawa, rimu, and rata predominating, with totara here and there.

Access to the north-west, west, and middle portion is by the Totara and Otawhao Road, both of which are formed to within about half a mile of the boundary, and the remaining portions by bridle-track, which could be easily made passable for dray-traffic.

Access to the north and north-east portion is by bridle-tracks up the Otope and Mangatoro Valleys, both of these tracks being through open country most of the way, and a bullock-dray could be taken as far as the boundary without much trouble. Distance from Oringi Railway-station by the Otope track about nine miles, and by the Mangatoro track about eighteen miles from Danevirke, via Mr. G. D. Hamilton's station.

A direct road will connect this land with the settled country in Weber and Tautane Districts.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this second day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety.
