SCHEDULE.

OMAHINI DISTRICT.

This section is situated about nine miles inland of Wa-
verley and Waitotara, and comprises rough broken second-
class land, covered with mixed bush.

PUKETOI DISTRICT.

These sections, together with those in Block XII., Makuri,

the Township of Pahiatua, and adjoining the Tiraumea
Makuri and Mangaone-Tiraumea Blocks. The access to the
sections on the north is by way of the Tiraumea and Toritea
Roads, and to the southern sections by way of the Hawera
and Tane Roads. The land is covered with forest, including
tawa, rata, hinau, rimu, mahoe, konini, rangiora, with rata,
&c., and occasional totara trees. The soil is good through-
out, the formation being limestone or papa. Mount Mar-
chant is a limestone hill, and the limestone crops out on
most of the sections in that vicinity. The sections are
