Notice of Vesting of Land in the Public Trustee under
"The Unclaimed Lands Act, 1894."

WHEREAS I, the undersigned, the Public Trustee,
have, for the purposes of "The Unclaimed Lands

that the said land is, under and by virtue of the said Act,
vested in me, as the Public Trustee as aforesaid, as from
the date of the publication hereof, and will be administered
under the said Act; the value of the land for the purposes
of section 5 of the said Act being less than £100.

SCHEDULE.

SOUTHLAND LAND DISTRICT.—LAKE, WALLACE, AND SOUTHLAND
COUNTIES.

Weighted with £239, valuation for improvements.
The above area comprises mostly very high broken moun-
tains, containing little vegetation, and for some distance up
the mountain faces and spurs the vegetation consists princi-
pally of fern. Towards the south-west end of the country,
on the flats of the New River and adjacent lower spurs, the
grass improves, and is much better than that to be found in
the Von Valley, but even here the country is very poor and
exposed to the full force of the prevailing south-west winds,
which make this comparatively low country cold during
the winter.

JOHN HAY,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.
