Bay of Plenty and Taupo Districts.
Negotiating Officers—Messrs. Davis and Mitchell.
The operations in this district during the past year have been confined to the completing of purchases and leases under negotiation prior to 1st July last year. The work has been much retarded, owing to tribal jealousies of the Arawa Natives, and the want of surveyors to determine the boundaries of the several blocks of land.
The transctions to 30th June, 1875, are shown in the following Return:—
