Hawke's Bay.
In this district there are 33,834 acres now open for selection, generally on the same systems as above. The lands are mostly open or interspersed with bush, and are situated in various parts of the district. The soil is generally good, the surface somewhat broken, and therefore more suited for pastoral than agricultural purposes. The sections vary in size as above, with prices ranging from 5s. to £2 per acre, according to locality, &c.
