SCHEDULE.

CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—GERALDINE COUNTY.—OPIHI
SURVEY DISTRICT.—RAINCLIFF SETTLEMENT.

First-class Land.

Agricultural and pastoral land, situate at an altitude
varying from about 700 ft. to 1,000 ft. above sea-level. This
section contains about 250 acres of flat or undulating
ploughable agricultural land, of which about 175 acres were
ploughed and grassed some years ago; the grass now wants
renewing. The remainder consists of 17 acres worked-out
native bush, also land either too steep or broken for profitable
ploughing. There are many patches of manuka scrub on
the section, but nearly the whole area is excellent pasture-
land, growing fine feed, both native and artificial, and
capable of profitable improvement. Gorse has spread near
the plantation fence and over the river-bed land; sweet-
briar also has spread in one or two places. The improve-
ments (which go with the land) consist of 384½ chains
of road, boundary, and subdivision fencing of gorse, wire, and
barb-wire, valued at £160 15s. 1d. The quality of the land
generally is fair to good, on clay as a rule, though one or
two of the steep places are rocky. This section is well
watered by several creeks and water-holes, and accessible by
a well-formed main road, twelve miles and a half from
Pleasant Point, and about ten miles from Fairlie Railway-
station.
