SCHEDULE.

HAWKE’S BAY LAND DISTRICT.—WAIROA COUNTY.

Unsurveyed Second-class Land.

This block is bounded towards the north by the forest reserve adjoining the Waikaremoana Lake. It lies about thirty-four miles north-west of Wairoa, and is accessible by a road recently formed for dray-traffic. It is forest country, of an altitude varying from 1,500ft. to 3,500ft. above sea-level, the level of Waikaremoana being 1,015ft. The land is rather rough, and broken by gullies. The timber is black-birch, miro, totara, tawa, silver-birch, white-pine, and rimu. There is a little flat land, and a few spurs covered with Maori grass. The land is well watered by numerous streams, and, as there is a considerable rainfall during the year, it is well adapted for pastoral purposes.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this sixteenth day of September, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.
