particularly mentioned: And whereas for the purpose of giving effect to the firstly hereinbefore recited provision of the said Act it is expedient to make the regulations hereinafter set forth:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Right Honorable Sir James Fergusson, Baronet, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in him by the said Act, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Colony, doth hereby make the following Regulations for the several purposes in the said recited Act mentioned—such Regulations to take effect within the Province of Otago aforesaid as and from the said twenty-third day of September, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three.

Regulations under "The Forest Trees Planting Encouragement Act 1871," and "The Forest Trees Planting Encouragement Act Amendment Act 1872."

1. The planting in respect of which a grant of land under the Act is claimed need not be in one block, but may be in several blocks on the same property.

2. The land planted must be securely fenced.

3. It must have been devoted to planting for at least two years. (Section 2 of "The Forest Trees Planting Encouragement Act Amendment Act 1872," provides that if root crops are cultivated among the forest trees planted on any lands, such lands shall not, by reason only of such crops being cultivated, be deemed to be not devoted only to purposes of planting.)

4. The trees must be in a vigorous and healthy state when the grant of land is applied for.

5. The number of trees planted must be at the rate of not less than five hundred per acre.

6. The trees must be of an average height of two feet, except in the case of gum, wattle, poplar, or willow, which must be of an average height of six feet.

7. As soon as the land is fenced and the trees planted, a report must be sent to the Secretary for Lands, who will cause inspection of the same to be made, from the date of which, if duly certified, the two years will be calculated.

8. The amount of the land order to be issued under authority of section 4 of the Amendment Act 1872, in respect of every acre of land planted, shall be four pounds.

9. The fulfilment of the conditions above prescribed shall be ascertained and shall be certified in the form annexed by an officer appointed by the Superintendent. Upon the receipt of such certificate, the Superintendent may either issue his own certificate to the Waste Lands Board, or he may, if he thinks fit, cause further inquiry to be made into the facts of the case.

Form of Certificate.

I, A. B., do hereby certify, after personal inspection of plantations made by C. D., that acres of land have been planted by him, in accordance with the statements contained in the application of , 187 ; that the conditions imposed under the Regulations issued under "The Forest Trees Planting Encouragement Act 1871" have been faithfully complied with; and that he is entitled, under the provisions of the said Act, to receive a grant of land not exceeding acres.
