The general formation of the country is volcanic drift, resting on blue clay or papa, which crops out on the hills. The average height of the hills above the valleys is about 250ft. The southern end of the block is situated about ten miles from the Stratford Railway-station, along the East and Waiwiri Roads.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this tenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one.
