The country south of Monowai River is hilly and broken, well sheltered, and in some places fairly well grassed with white tussock and other finer grasses, but a considerable portion is heavily covered with fern and patches of manuka scrub; the country north of the Monowai River is all a level stony flat, very poorly grassed, and carrying patches of manuka scrub. The whole area varies from 600ft. to 1,600ft. above sea-level.

Run No. 500: This run, known as “Codfish Island,” lies to the west of Stewart Island about two miles and a half, some twelve miles to the north of Mason Bay, or about forty miles from Bluff Harbour, and in Stewart Island County. The island is all bush-clad, varying from scrub to heavy bush, with the exception of a small patch of open land on the east side, facing Stewart Island. The country is undulating, varying in height from sea-level to about 300 ft.
