Hills, between the summit and the River Waihao, about
twenty-three miles distant from St. Andrew's Railway-
station, at an altitude of from 2,000ft. to 5,000ft. above

creeks, but becoming less rugged as they approach the Wai-
hao River, mostly covered with tussock, snow-grass, and
other native grasses. The improvements consist of about
twenty-four miles and three-quarters of boundary and sub-
divisional fencing, and two 12 ft. by 12 ft. wood-and-iron huts.
The maximum amount which the incoming tenant will be
liable for on account of improvements is £1,277.
