GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Kohika No. 2 Settlement is situated on the downs
which rise to the eastern slopes of the Hunter’s Hills
Range. The point where the road crosses the Makikihi
River and enters the settlement is about six miles in a
north-westerly direction from the railway-station at Ma-
kikihi. The latter is on the Main Trunk Railway line,
Christchurch to Dunedin, about one hundred and eighteen
miles from Christchurch and eighteen miles from the
Port of Timaru. The main road leading down the Maki-
kihi Valley is well formed and metalled. The original
Kohika Settlement, formerly part of Mr. T. J. Tesch-
maker’s Otaio Estate, which was established in 1901 and
is now a prosperous settlement, lies about three-quarters
of a mile in a direct line eastward from the Kohika
No. 2 Settlement.

The settlement lies at an elevation of about 500 ft.
above sea-level. It comprises open undulating arable
downs land, intersected by broken watercourse channels
and by a creek. The soil is of good quality on clay
subsoil. About 49 acres on Section 3 and 41 acres on
Section 4 have been ploughed; the remainder of the
settlement is all in old cultivated grass pasture, with the
exception of the terrace faces, which are in tussock.

A new road has been laid out through the settlement in
order to give suitable access to each section, and this road
will be constructed by the Government in due course.
Provision has also been made for the erection of a light
footbridge across the Makikihi River at the entrance to
the settlement.

IMPROVEMENTS.

The improvements on the sections consist of fencing
only, the value of which is included in the prices of
the sections. Particulars of the improvements are as
follow: Section 1, half-value of 131 chains of boundary-
fencing, £40 18s. 9d. Section 2, half-value of 76 chains of
