This reserve is situated about twelve miles to the east of the main inland road and railway-line, and lies in the fork of the Rangitikei and Moawhango Rivers. The distance from Taihape is about eleven miles, and from Moawhango about thirteen miles. Almost the whole of the land has been felled and grassed; about 5 acres, over which grass has been sown, still remains under thin scrubby bush. The improvements also include about 28 chains of boundary-fencing and about 40 chains of dividing fences.

Class I.

Situated forty-two miles from Napier and forty-seven miles from Taihape, on the main coach road from Napier to Moawhango, in the Inland Patea District. The runs occupy, for the most part, the eastern slopes of the Kaweka Range, which is a lesser range of mountains than the Ruahine, and separated from the latter by the Ngaruroro River, which forms the southern boundary of Run No. 14. The altitude of these runs varies from about 2,500 ft. to 5,400 ft. above sea-level. The land comprises, for the most part, open rugged and broken country, with patches of stunted black-birch forest in the gullies and on hill slopes. The soil is of a light pumicy character, on slate rock, sandstone, and in some cases gravel. The exposed surfaces of the tops of the ridges and spurs are wind-worn, and bare of vegetation. Both runs are well watered by tributaries of the Tutaekuri and Ngaruroro Rivers.
