Description of Land: Bounded on the north by Section No. 62, Block VIII., Mangawhero and Crown land; on the east by the Turakina River; on the south by Native Reserve 4B and Ohaumoko Block; on the west by the Tokorangi and Mangamahu Blocks and the Mangamahu Stream to the point of commencement. This block is situated between the Turakina and Mangamahu Streams, and extends from the Ohaumoko Block northwards for about six miles. The area comprises generally broken and round-topped hills intersected by deep valleys; there are a few small flats on the Mangamahu Stream, and some large ones on the Turakina River. The block is well watered, and is covered with mixed bush, including rata, tawa, rimu, hinau, maire, manuka, black-birch, titoki, akeake, mahoe, koeka, houhou, tataka, matipo, &c., with an underscrub of wharangi, karamu, akeake, supplejacks, &c.; heavy timbers, such as rimu, matai, kahikatea, hinau, and a little totara for homestead purposes, are procurable on most parts of the block. The formation is principally papa, mixed in places with deposits of shell-rock, and the soil varies from fair to good. The block is distant from Wanganui, via the No. 2 line and Wangaehu Road, about thirty and a half miles, twenty-nine miles being a formed dray-road; and from Hunter ville, via the Paraekaretu Road, about thirteen and a half miles, of which nine miles have been formed for dray-traffic. The country is from 500ft. to 2,000ft. above sea-level, and when brought into cultivation should prove well adapted for pastoral purposes.
