The whole area is perfectly level, with excellent soil, well adapted, when cleared, for market-gardens, orchards, or dairying purposes. The north-eastern portion of the block, however, is somewhat stony, although the soil is fair, with the exception of the small natural clearing shown on the lithograph. The land is all heavily timbered, including matai, rimu, and miro, some of it being suitable for milling purposes; and a large mill is at work on adjoining land.

[NOTE.-Sections Nos. 14, 15, 41, 42, 46, 47, and 48 are offered subject to the right of allowing the existing tramway to be used through and over them, and also for the free ingress and egress of all persons, animals, and conveyances in any way connected therewith, together with full permission to repair, maintain, and keep in working-order such line of tramway for a period of two years from the 1st January, 1895, after which time all rights thereto shall cease.]
