GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SETTLEMENT.
Access to the settlement is by formed road from Murchison to the Ford at the western end of the settlement, a distance of twenty miles; thence by roughly formed road through Sections 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s to the homestead; thence by bridle-track through Section 4s to the southern boundary of the Tutaki Settlement. There is also a roughly formed road and horse-track through Sections 4s, 6s, 7s, and 8s to the southern boundary of the settlement. Taken as a whole, the settlement is suitable only for pastoral purposes, although most of the sections contain land which is suitable for dairying. The altitude ranges from 1,200 ft. to 3,259 ft. above sea-level. There is generally a thick undergrowth of scrub on the sections, consisting of horopito, lawyer, five-finger, fuchsia, &c. With slight improvement the present access would enable wheeled traffic to reach any of the sections. The homestead is connected with telephone.

DEAD STOCK.
There is a considerable quantity of dead stock on the settlement, consisting of machines, implements, tools, harness, &c., which will be available for disposal at valuation to the incoming settlers.
