The Ruakituri Block is situated in the County of Wairoa, about twelve miles from the township of Clyde. It extends some twenty miles to the westward from the Gisborne-Wairoa Road, and lies between the Ruakituri and Mangaruhi Rivers, The Main Road from Wairoa to Gisborne passes close to the eastern side of the Block. Thirtythree miles of bridle roads on the permanent grades, and seven miles of stock-driving roads, have been opened out to give access to these lands. The whole Block, with the exception of a few flats on the Ruakituri River, is pastoral country. The vegetation consists of fern on the spurs and in the valleys, and of scrub and bush in the steep gullies. The soil varies. In places it is light and mixed, with a slight c 0... Ing of pumice; in other parts where the nr nice-drift has been washed down the steep hill-sides it is a calcareous clay. The subsoil is marl. On the higher hills there is an overlap of sandstone, and a little limestone near Te Tuhi. These lands will take grass by surface-sowing. The average cost for fencing, seed-sowing, &c., is from 20s to 30s an acre. Maps may be seen at all the principal Land Offices throughout the Colony. D. A. TOLE, Commissioner of Crown Lands.
