Levels County.—Pareora Survey District.

This section is situated in the south-eastern portion of the Rosewill Settlement, formerly known as the Levels Estate; it has frontage on the Rolling Ridges Road, and is distant about three miles westward from Levels Railway-station, with which there is connection by formed and gravelled roads. The section consists of agricultural land, between 200 ft. and 380 ft. above sea-level, comprising 229 acres of agricultural downs land (in wheat last season), and 2 acres of unploughable land along the streams. The improvements, which are included in the price of the section, consist of 123½ chains of boundary-fencing, valued at £46.

The crop taken off this section during the past season having been a second consecutive grain-crop, no more than half the area may be put in grain next season, and grass must be sown with the crop. The balance may be put in green crop, to be followed next year by grain.

Waimate County.—Otaio Survey District.

This section comprises the south-eastern end of the Eccleston Settlement, formerly known as the Hafton Estate, and is situated about five miles and a half from Otaio Railway-station, to which there is access by a good metalled road. The land lies at an altitude varying from 230 ft. to 500 ft. above sea-level, and consists of flats and low flat-topped gently sloping downs, the whole being capable of cultivation, and comprising good black soil on a clay subsoil. There is no permanent water on the section, although a supply is generally to be found in the Kohika Creek, which touches the northern end of the section.

The section is divided into four paddocks, of which the upper or western paddock, of 88 acres, is in new grass after two grain crops, and must be left in grass for at least three years before being again broken up or cropped. The middle eastern paddock, of about 70 acres, is in stubble after two grain crops, and the incoming tenant may take a green or root crop, either sown with or immediately followed by grass, off this paddock during the coming season, after which the paddock must be left in grass for at least three years. The other two small paddocks are in old grass, and are available for cropping.

The improvements on the section which have been made by the outgoing tenant consist of dwellinghouse, 32 ft. by 14 ft., on stone piles, with iron roof and double brick chimney; also about 74 chains of stake-and-wire subdivisional fencing: the whole of these improvements are valued at £141 7s., which sum must be paid by the incoming tenant before being admitted into possession of the section. The other improvements, consisting of 267 chains of gorse, sod, and wire boundary and subdivisional fencing, and one small dam, are included in the price of the section.
