LOCALITY AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Situated in the South Waimarino (Waipapa Valley) Block, immediately to the north-west of the Mangatiti Block. One means of access is via the Wanganui River landing, at the mouth of the Mangatiti Stream, opposite to and a little above Parinui Pa, and thence by horse and survey track up the Mangatiti Stream, through Native Reserve 5, a distance of about six miles; another way is from Raetihi by the Raetihi-Ohura (Orautoha) Road through the Ruatiti Block, a distance of thirty miles, the last two miles being pack-track only.

Sections 2 and 3, Block III, and 3, 4, 5, Block VI, already have access by horse-tracks; the remaining sections have access at present by surveyed roads only.

The whole block is covered by forest, light to medium, consisting of tawa, tawhero, rata, with a few rimu, matai, &c., and an occasional totara, with birch on the higher elevations. The country is broken, and ranges in elevation from about 700 ft. to 2,200 ft. above sea-level. The soil is light, on a papa and sandstone formation, with a good depth on the small flats along the large streams. This country, although far inland, is said to have little snow, the climate not being so severe as on the higher land nearer the mountains.
