Memorandum to Schedule of Native Reserves in Bay of Plenty District.

The boundaries of the Ohope Reserve are in abeyance until the appeal in the chief Wepiha's case has been decided. There are four other small Native reserves, amounting in all to about 112 acres of land, particulars of which will be forwarded when their details are complete. A sketch-map of a large portion of this district, containing much information, has been forwarded by me to the Agent of the General Government in Auckland.

J. A. Wilson,
Crown Agent.

P.S.—The Government have reserved the right to take from the Whakatane Reserve a portion of land equivalent to the compensation that may be awarded or granted on the eastern side of Whakatane River.—J. A. Wilson, Crown Agent.

Memorandum.—One hundred and forty-six claims, preferred by three hundred and eighteen claimants, are disposed of.—J. A. Wilson, Crown Agent. 28th June, 1867.
