Rotoma.

Although but a short distance from the springs just referred to, this lake is seldom visited by tourists, and this fact is to be wondered at, for the scenery of Rotoma is very fine. The lake, which is shaped like a Maltese cross, is about four miles long, and its sides are serrated with bays and promontories. Its banks are clothed with dense forests, and ti-tree, flax, fern, and tutu grow abundantly in the locality.
