GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This settlement is situated on the south branch of the
Waihao River, about two miles north-westerly from the
Waihao Forks Railway-station, about ten miles from Wai-
mate and fourteen miles from Studholme Junction, on the
Christchurch-Dunedin Main Trunk Railway. Agricul-
tural sections, ranging in altitude from about 500 ft. to
800 ft. above sea-level, comprising undulating and easy
sloping spurs, level terraces, and river-flats. The soil is
generally good, rich in places, on a clay subsoil, slightly
stony on some of the river-flats. The property is at pre-
sent carrying grass, oat and wheat stubble, rape and
turnips, with a few patches of unbroken land in tussock
and English grasses. The greater portion of each section
is ploughable.

All of the sections are watered by the Waihao River,
with the exception of Section No. 5, which is watered by
Stony Creek and springs. There are also several small
streams which are liable to dry up during dry seasons.
The dwellinghouse and stables on Lot 4 are supplied with
good water from a bore and windmill on Stony Creek,
and good water can probably be found by boring on any
of the sections.

All the sections have road-access. A new road has been
laid out through Sections 1, 2, and 3 (which will be
formed) giving access to good homestead-sites.

Reserves for school and creamery sites have been pro-
vided.

The improvements which are not included in the price
of the sections, but which have to be paid for separately,
are the buildings on Lot 4, consisting of a six-roomed
cottage; eight-stalled stable, wool-shed, and feed-house
combined; men’s hut of three rooms; and old hut and
stable. The whole of these improvements are valued at
£481, to be paid for in cash, or by half-yearly instalments
of £24 5s. 10d. for a period of fourteen years.

The improvements which are included in the price of
the sections are as follows: Section 1—134 chains of
