Locality and Description.

Tautari Settlement is situated in a S.S.E. direction from
Auckland, distant ninety-three miles as the crow flies. Access
by the Auckland—Wellington Main Trunk Railway to Te
Awamutu, 101 miles from Auckland, thence by road through
Kihikihi and a rich and well-settled district beyond for about
seventeen miles to a central part of the settlement. The
road for the most part is good and fairly level.

The soil is good, being sandy loam on clay formation, and
is well suited for sheep or dairy farming. Most of the settle-
ment is under grass, though parts are somewhat overgrown.
Generally speaking, the country is undulating to hilly, and
very little is at all broken.

The climate is exceedingly bracing and healthy, the eleva-
tion above sea-level averaging nearly 1,000 ft. Rainfall about
the average.

The improvements not included in the capital values of
the sections are as follows: Section 7, dwellinghouse, large
woolshed, stable, and outbuildings, all valued at £700; Sec-
tion 10, two cottages, stable and outbuildings, and subdivi-
sional fences, all valued at £355.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
