Regulation 46 is amended, and shall read—

46. The areas of figures bounded by watercourses, or irregular curved lines fixed by offsets from the traverse-lines should be obtained by computing the portion of the area within the closed traverse-lines by double longitudes and using a planimeter to determine the portion of the area between the traverse-lines and the boundary; and in rural surveys where the boundary-lines exceed twenty in number, the use of the planimeter will be permitted to determine a portion of the area of which the greater portion is computed mathematically.

Regulation 47 is amended, and shall read—

47. All plans shall be drawn on mounted drawing-paper of the best quality and according to regulation size. (See Appendix G.)

Regulation 55 is amended, and shall read—

55. All boundaries shall be ruled in firm lines. Measured lines are to be drawn in red, calculated lines in black, with figures in red and black respectively. Bush-lines cut but not chained are to be drawn in red, the linkages in black. Ranged lines not chained are to be drawn in blue. Observed bearings to be written in blue, and those calculated in black.

Regulation 57 is amended, and shall read—

57. Traverse stations shall be numbered and shown as follows :—
    (a.) New pegs shall be shown by small red circles.
    (b.) Old pegs, when adopted but not found, by small black circles.
    (c.) Old pegs, when found, by small black circles filled solid.
    (d.) Old pegs renewed, by a red circle enclosing a black circle filled solid.
    (e.) Iron tubes, by two small concentric blue circles.
    (f.) Iron spikes, by small blue circles.
    (g.) Peg and spike together, by a red circle enclosing a blue circle.
    (h.) Posts by solid black squares.
    (i.) Concrete pegs, by a small yellow circle.
    (j.) Old iron tube adopted, by two concentric black circles.
    (k.) Old tube when found, by two blue circles, inner one filled solid.
    (See Appendix H.)
    When it is impossible to insert a peg or spike on account of some obstruction of a permanent nature, the station shall be shown by a small red circle with particulars of the ground-marking.

Regulation 70 is amended, and shall read—

70. As surveys are completed, the plans thereof and all other documents relative thereto, if for deposit by the surveyor, either with the Chief Surveyor or the District Land Registrar, are to be forwarded promptly. The forwarding letter should be sent under separate cover, so that inquiry may be made for mislaid or delayed plan packets.

Regulation 71 is amended, and shall read—

71. Plans must not be folded. They should be transmitted to the place of lodgment on stout wooden rollers, or within plan cases, securely fastened and legibly addressed. It is preferable that they be sent by “Fragile” post.

Regulation 74 is amended, and shall read—

74. Surveys pertaining to title shall be executed by a licensed surveyor, and plans shall bear his signature.

Regulation 81 is amended, and shall read—

81. Pegs shall be placed on all section-lines at the point of intersection with road, railway, stream, or watercourse traverses, or as close as possible thereto.
    In the case of any such pegs placed not actually at the point of intersection, such pegs shall be properly connected to adjacent traverse pegs.
    In the case of section-lines intersecting a road, the measured or calculated distance to the adjacent angle pegs on the same side shall be given, and the boundary of a section intersecting a road shall in all cases be pegged on the traverse-line as well as on both sides of the road.
    Such traverse intersection-pegs, however, shall be driven flush to avoid confusion.

Regulation 95 is amended, and shall read—

95. The positions of the terminals of all chained lines, excepting range pegs, all corners of blocks of sections or of isolated sections, whether
