less covered with mixed bush from which all the milling-
timber has been removed; the remaining forest comprises
tawa, small rimu, and mātai, with undergrowth of supple-
jack, wineberry, &c.

Lots 1, 2, and 3 of Section 11 are watered by a lagoon,
the other lots are watered by the Mangamaire Stream,
which has been diverted from its old channel through Lots
12 and 13, as shown on plan.

The following improvements are included in the capital
values of the subdivisions of Section 11: Lot 1, 17 acres
felled and grassed, and 20 chains of fencing, valued at £46;
Lot 2, 17 acres felled and grassed, valued at £34; Lot 3,
15 acres felled and grassed, and 7½ chains of fencing, valued
at £34 10s.

The following lots are weighted for improvements with
the under-mentioned amounts, which must be paid in cash
before the lessee can be admitted into possession:—
Improvements on pt. 13 of 8 consist of 12 chains of
fencing and 3 acres felled.
Improvements on pt. 1 of 11 consist of 6½ chains of
fencing; and on pt. 2 of 11, of about 5¾ chains of fencing;
and on pt. 3 of 11, of about 8¾ chains of fencing.

As these lots are situated in a settled district, with conve-
nient road and railway access, they afford working-men,
artisans, gardeners, small farmers, and others, opportunities
of securing homes in which they can engage in fruit-, flower-,
and vegetable-culture, also in dairying, &c.
