Description of Run.

Situated about two miles from the head of Paterson Inlet,
and about twelve miles by water from Half-moon Bay. The
country is all level, on a gradually sloping plain, very wet
and spongy and poorly grassed, and consists mostly of peat-
bog vegetation, with the exception of narrow margins im-
mediately along the creeks, where very good grass is to be
found. The whole country is more or less covered with
manuka scrub, but with burning and careful management a
considerable area is capable of improvement by surface
sowing. It is more adapted in its present state for cattle
than for sheep. Elevation above sea-level from 12 ft. to
400 ft.

Possession will be given on the day of sale.

The above run will be sold generally in accordance with
the provisions of Part VI. of “The Land Act, 1892.”

Purchasers must deposit statutory declarations as required
by section 195 of “The Land Act, 1892,” and pay the first
half-year’s rent, together with the license fee (£1 1s.), on the
fall of the hammer.
