LOCALITY AND DESCRIPTION.

This run is situated on the slopes of the Ruahine
Ranges, at the head-waters of the Makino Stream; access
is from Utiku, which is about seventeen miles distant, by a
formed dray-road for about fourteen miles, partly metalled

formation. The forest is mixed, comprising rimu, maire,
matai, kowhai, and birch, with a thick undergrowth of
rangiora, kotukutuku, manuka, tarata, tawhiwhi, and
