LOCALITY AND DESCRIPTION.

The Waharangi Block is situated on the Wanganui River
between the Ohoutahi Block (the Catholic Mission Farm at
Jerusalem) and Pipiriki Township, which it adjoins. It runs
back from the river, along both sides of the Pipiriki-Raetihi
Road, till it joins the Morikau No. 2 Block, which was sub-
divided and leased about a year ago, the Morikau No. 2
Block forming the eastern and southern boundaries. On the
north it is bounded by the Huikumu Block (Mr. Corrie's
run), and on the north-west by the Ngaporo and Waha-
rangi No. 6 Blocks, both being Native lands. All the sections
have good dray-road access (except those fronting the
Wanganui River, where a road is proposed to be laid off
connecting Pipiriki with Jerusalem) along the Pipiriki–
Raetihi and Huikumu Roads.

Small flats and easy-sloping ground have been reserved
along the Raetihi Road for homestead-sites and small
paddocks, and access from them to the back country through
the proposed scenery reserves will be reserved.

The whole block is forest-clad, the bush comprising princi-
pally tawa, rata, rimu, tawhero, matai, maire, &c., with a
dense undergrowth of rangiora, mahoe, houhou, karamu,
kotukutuku, supplejack, &c.

The formation is papa and shell-rock, and the quality of
the soil is good.

The block is well watered by numerous streams, a number
of them being gorges.

The elevation above sea-level ranges from about 50 ft. on
the Wanganui River to 2035 ft. at Wbaharangi Trig. Station.

The sections are being surveyed at present, and good
fencing-lines along spurs and ridges will be taken as
boundaries.

It is proposed to reserve a considerable portion of land
along the Wanganui River and the Pipiriki-Raetihi Road
for scenic purposes, and the approximate boundaries and
areas are shown on lithograph; but should the Scenery
Commissioners not acquire this land within, say, one year,
the portions shown within each section will be added to
that section, and it will be made a condition of lease that
the selector will require to take the area at the same rental
per acre as is being paid for the area now offered.

Maps and terms and conditions of the leases may be
obtained from the Under-Secretary for Native Affairs, Wel-
lington, and from the office of the Aotea District Maori
Land Board, Wanganui.

President.
