Description of Land: Section 119, Block XIII., Opoiti
Survey District, is open country, for the most part undulat-
ing, with a little level land, and covered with fern and tutu;
soil of a light pumice character, though fairly good, to judge
from the remains of a crop of turnips sown on the adjoining

a substantial ring-fence, and carries a large quantity of
valuable timber, consisting of totara, matai, rimu, miro,
and kahikatea, estimated to be worth at least £200. A
proportion of the cost of fencing would be recoverable from
adjoining owners under the existing Fencing Acts.

the fall of the hammer; the balance, with Crown-grant fee,

Description of Land: Section 11, Block XVI., Tahoraite,
is a totara reserve, well adapted for grazing and cropping
purposes. The land on the west side of the Mangatoro
Stream is principally flat, good soil, some of it being old
river-deposit; that on the east side is more broken, limestone
formation. Sections 386, 387, Clyde Town, are facing the
Marine Parade on the Wairoa River. The portion Makaretu
Forest Reserve is broken country for the most part, but there
are some fine slopes and almost level country, with very fair
soil. About 600 acres has been sown with cocksfoot grass,
which is looking very well and thriving. A further area of
about 300 acres might be sown without any bush-felling or
clearing being necessary.

Special conditions of lease of Section 11, Block XVI.,
Tahoraite: The reserve is offered for lease solely for de-
pasturing purposes. No timber is to be cut, used, or taken
from the section; and the lessee shall use every possible
means of protecting the timber from fire.
