scribed in the first column of the Schedule hereto (being
portion of the hereinbefore-mentioned reserve) is hereby ex-
changed for the Crown land described in the second column

the said first column becomes and is Crown land freed from
all previous reservation and subject to the provisions of
"The Land Act, 1908," and that the land described in the
said second column is hereby reserved for travelling stock
and for the use of the Department of Agriculture, being
purposes comprised in the said Class II.

SCHEDULE.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this sixteenth day of October, one thousand nine
hundred and eight.
