not exceeding five, as he thinks fit to be a Commis-
sion under the said Act; such Commission may, if it
deems necessary, inspect any lands possessing scenic
or historic interest, or on which there are thermal
springs, and shall make inquiries respecting the same
and report to the Governor, and shall from time to
time recommend what lands, whether Crown, private,
or Native lands, in their opinion should be per-
manently reserved as scenic, thermal, or historic re-
serves; and that the Governor may from time to
time, by Proclamation, declare that any lands so
recommended to be reserved shall be a reserve under
the said Act, and thereupon such lands shall be in-
alienable unless by special Act of Parliament passed
in that behalf, and no person shall cut or remove
timber or in any way interfere with such lands, or
damage the scenic features thereof; and such lands
may be fenced, preserved, and conserved intact as
and for an inalienable patrimony of the people of

And whereas the Governor has, in pursuance of the
powers conferred by the said Act, appointed certain
persons to be a Commission for the purposes thereof:
And whereas the said Commission has, after making
inquiries respecting the same, reported to the Go-
vernor and recommended that the parcel of Crown

manently reserved as a scenic reserve: And whereas
it is expedient that the said recommendation should
be given effect to;
