On Run No. 1 there are about 5,600 acres of open fern country, the remainder being mixed bush. About half the run is undulating and level, the rest rather broken. On Run No. 2, about 2,100 acres are open fern land, the balance being bush. The soil on both runs is light pumice, and they are well watered. They are accessible by pack-track from Wairoa, distant forty-eight miles, and from Mohaka, about twenty-eight miles.

Runs Nos. 9 and 10 are very much broken, and the land is of poor quality, carrying fern with bush in gullies; well watered, and fit for grazing purposes, though the carrying-capacity of the land is light. The runs are accessible from Wairoa, distant about twenty-three miles.

Run No. 9 has some land which would carry good grass, but it exists in patches. Run No. 10 contains about 6,000 acres of pumice land, with clay subsoil, and little or no vegetation on it.
