country, with light soil; about one-fourth of it covered with
bush—tawa, rimu, hinau, &c.—the remainder fern, tutu, and
manuka; well watered. It is about forty-two miles from
Gisborne, and a bridle-road has been made by way of the
Hangaroa Village to within a mile of the run.

Run No. 30, 6,514 acres; annual rental, £56 17s. 6d.: This
run, which adjoins No. 29, is rough and steep at the southern
end; about one-half is covered with tall fern, tutu, and
manuka, the remainder heavy black-birch bush; it is well
watered, but the soil is poor. By one of the roads to
Hangaroa Village it is eight miles to present bridle-road,
and by the other it is eleven miles to formed road near
Tiniroto.

Run No. 31, 5,600 acres; annual rental, £66 8s.: About
five-sixths of this run is covered with mixed forest, the re-
mainder tall fern; soil is light though fair, but on the tops
of the hills poor; the southern portion is broken, but the
whole run is well watered. Access will be by way of Tini-
roto, the distance being about ten miles, the last six not yet
cleared and formed.

Run No. 33, 5,135 acres; annual rental, £93 9s. 6d.: The
soil in this run is fairly good; it is well watered throughout;
about half is covered with mixed forest, consisting of tawa,
rimu, hinau, &c., the balance fern, tutu, and in places toitoi
and koromiko. There is a bridle-road within a mile of the
south-eastern corner, near the Ruakituri River, and it will
also be eventually reached by road via Tiniroto, sixteen
miles distant, the first part of which is formed for a few
miles.

Run No. 34, 4,020 acres; annual rental, £60 4s. 6d.: The
run is chiefly open country covered with fern, with bush in the
gullies; but it is more broken than Run 33. It will have
two ways of access—one by Ruakituri, at which point it is
but a little distance from the present bridle-road, the other
from Tiniroto, distant about eight miles.
