SECOND-CLASS UNSURVEYED LAND.—COOK COUNTY.—MOTU* AND NGATAPA† SURVEY DISTRICTS.

This block lies to the westward of and adjacent to the Gisborne—Opotiki Road, touching it at a point distant forty-one miles from the former place. It is bounded towards the north by the Crown lands thrown open for selection on the 1st June, 1892, and Section No. 1, Block XII., Motu Survey District (awarded to Wi Pere); towards the east by the Rangiriri Stream, the Waikohu River, the Waikohu-Matawai No. 1 Block, the Waikohu Block, and part of Run No. 47, leased by Messrs. Hutchinson Brothers; towards the south by Run No. 47 aforesaid; and towards the west by Crown land.

Chiefly covered with forest, some of it being heavy bush consisting of tawa, rata, rimu, &c., with supplejack under-scrub; and the remainder light bush, manuka scrub, konini, and fern country. The formation is principally papa, though there is some limestone and sandstone country in parts; while the soil is generally light, but with patches of good quality hear and there. The block is well watered, the Waihuka and Waikohu Rivers with numerous tributaries running through it. The altitude ranges from 800ft. to 2,000ft., and the land, being mostly undulating and flat, though broken and hilly in parts, is well adapted for grazing and pastoral purposes. The northern portion of the block is accessible from Gisborne, distant forty-one miles, by the main road from that place to Opotiki; the southern portion will be reached from Patutahi, when the road is completed in that direction.

A sum of money will be expended in continuing the widening of the Gisborne—Opotiki Road; and, as far as funds will allow, the roads through the block will be cleared, and horse-tracks formed. Contracts for several miles of work are now let. For this purpose 1s. 6d. an acre will be added to the price of the land.
