  • This column includes a large quantity of Oats cut for Hay in the Dunedin Suburban Districts.

I certify that the above is a correct compilation from the original Returns, as received up to the present time.

JOHN HISLOP, Superintendent Collector.

NOTE.—The above Return relates only to Holdings of one acre and upwards. The Returns for Benger, Switzer’s, and Tapanui, have not yet been received, and the account is consequently incomplete as regards Manuherikia and Wallace Electoral Districts. It has been thought advisable, however, to publish without further delay an Abstract of the Returns received up to the present time. The complete account is expected to be ready for publication in next week’s Gazette.
