is undulating and level, and part of this area is capable of
being cultivated; the balance of the run is broken with
rocky ridges, and is very dry in summer. The whole area
is fairly well grassed with tussock, the lower ends of the
spurs and ridges being bare. In summer most of the
creeks become dry. The Ida Valley Railway-station is
distant about sixteen miles by a good dray-road. The run
is weighted with £71 valuation for fencing, comprising half
boundary with Small Grazing-run 261J from hill-top to road-

the run is broken and rocky. The tops of the Rough Ridge
and the eastern slopes are well grassed with tussock; the
western slopes are almost bare. There is usually water in
Shepherd’s Creek all the year round. The distance to Ida
Valley Railway-station is about seventeen miles. The run

mostly rough, broken country, traversed by Dovedale Creek,
which flows through rocky gorges. A subdivisional fence
divides the high country from the low. Below this fence is
an area of 2,700 acres which is poorly grassed with tussock,
and above the fence is an area of 2,900 acres fairly well
grassed with tussock. There is permanent water in Dove-
dale Creek. The eastern boundary is fenced, and the greater

300 acres is undulating and level, and is capable of being
cultivated; the remainder of the run consists of long,
easy-sloping ridges, somewhat rocky. A subdivisional fence
divides the high country from the low, there being about
3,000 acres on each side of the fence. The whole run is
fairly well grassed with tussock, and is traversed by Maori
Creek, a permanent stream. The eastern boundary is
