WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT—continued.

the Mangawhero River and Rangataua North No. 2 Block. This block adjoins the Wanganui United Farm-homestead Special-settlement Block, and lies about three miles and a half to the north-east of the Township of Ohakune, at an elevation of from 2,200ft. to 2,600ft. The southern portion of the block is generally flat, on easy sloping country, with low hills towards the Mangawhero River; and the soil is of fair average quality, although poor in places, particularly along the Mangaehuehue Stream; it is covered with ordinary mixed forest. The northern and north-eastern portions, however, are poorer and more broken, with stunted mixed timber, portions of the forest being birch entirely, with soil of an inferior quality. The formation throughout is papa and sandstone. The access is, at present, by surveyed roads only, from the Pipiriki-Napier through road near Ohakune.

Bounded towards the north by the Mangaturuturu Stream; towards the east by the Urewera and Raetihi Blocks; towards the south by a proposed Improved Farm-settlement Block; and on the west and north-west by the Waimarino and Marton Nos. 3 and 4 Farm-homestead Special-settlement Blocks. This block adjoins the Waimarino Farm-homestead Special-settlement Block, and lies in a north-easterly direction from the Township of Raetihi, and northerly from Ohakune. The area consists of flat and undulating country, about three-quarters being level. The soil varies from fair to good, that along the Waimarino Road being the lightest, and the portion joining the Waimarino Special-settlement Block the best. The formation is papa and sandstone, covered with dense mixed forest, the north-eastern part having a large proportion of birch, with thick undergrowth. The block is exceptionally well watered by permanent streams throughout, and the altitude ranges from 2,000ft. to 2,600ft. The access in the meantime is from Ohakune, distant seven or eight miles, by the Waimarino horse-road; eventually, however, it will probably be from Raetihi via the Makotuku Valley and other surveyed roads, some of which are now in course of construction.
