These sections are situated in the Makuri, Upper Makuri,
and Puketoi Districts, in the neighbourhood of Makuri, and
are approached chiefly by roads leading into and towards
that township; and consist principally of land in the
Makuri and adjoining valleys, or country sloping into or
served by them or their road-systems. The land, taken as
a whole, is of an excellent character, with good soil on papa
or limestone formation; the most of the sections being in
a high state of improvement, to the extent and value set
against the number of each.
The improvements have to be paid for in cash on the day
that the application is approved.

SCHEDULE.
CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT. — SELWYN COUNTY. — HALSWELL
SURVEY DISTRICT.
First-class Surveyed Land.

This section is situated on the northern shore of Lake
Ellesmere, about two miles and a quarter to the south-west-
ward of the Greenpark Railway-station on the Little River
branch line of railway, and comprises areas both above and
below the flood-level. The portion above flood-level consists
generally of light sandy soil carrying medium pasture, chiefly
rye-grass and clover. The area below flood-level comprises
light sandy soil with inferior pasture.
It must be distinctly understood that when the lake and
rivers are in flood all the contiguous low-lying lands are
subject to inundation, and liable to be under water for long
periods. When the lake is low cattle and sheep graze on the
low-lying areas, and apparently thrive thereon, provided they
have access also to dry pasture. It must be borne in mind
that, owing to the fact that the lake fluctuates about 6ft. in
level, the area of dry land is very limited as compared with
the area liable to flood. With due regard to these facts the
land is, in the main, well adapted for grazing. The Tai-
tapu Dairy Factory is about three miles and a half from
Greenpark.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
