APPENDIX D.

No. 1. Sir, — Christchurch, 15th June, 1905. In accordance with your request of the 12th ultimo, 1 have made out a list of Ngatimutunga Hapu located in the Chathams, grouping and showing as far as possible the different families with their cross-relationship. It will be seen that the parents in many cases are dead, which I have noted accordingly, also those of the family in New Zealand, while their children again are divided—some in the Chathams, others in Taranaki or elsewhere. In the Kawhe or Coffee family a large proportion, as well as in the Dix family, are three parts European. The elder Grinnell was an American, as is R. Paynter. The Maoris claim to be Ngatimutunga when only so, in some cases, on one side; but, this having been acquiesced in by the Native Land Court, I have taken it as correct. Owing to the Maoris being so scattered, it was very difficult to get the names, ages, and sexes of the children, which I was collecting from day to day up to the 10th instant, when I came on here, and had to check the information before posting it on to you, which I hope will be of service. Should any further information be required I expect to be in Wellington about the 20th instant, and shall call on the Survey Department. I also enclose voucher as requested. It may be useful to mention that many of the Chatham Island residents were assigned land at Urenui and Mimi, chiefly, I believe, by the Sir W. Fox Commission, particulars of which no doubt you will have. As requested, the children of the drowned people have been included, and your message to Ngarere and Huripari Pamariki has been duly delivered. I have, &c, A. Shand. James Mackay, Esq., Commissioner, Ngatimutunga Inquiry, New Plymouth. No. 2. I, Alexander Shand, of Waitangi, Chatham Islands, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I am a licensed interpreter appointed under the Native Land Act. That the accompanying list of people of the Ngatimutunga section of Ngatiawa Tribe is correct, with sexes and approximate ages as near as can be ascertained of the children. That the name " A. Shand " is the true signature of me, this declarant. And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and under and by virtue of " The Justices of the Peace Act, 1882." A. Shand. Declared before me, Walter Hugh Pigeon, at Waitangi, Chatham Islands, this 9th day of June, 1905—Hugh Walter Pigeon, Stipendiary Magistrate, Chatham Islands.
