White's Bay or Te Pukatea.

The fishing reserves for the Natives of the Wairau District is bounded to the North by Te Akiroa on to the range above the bay, and descends to a red cliff called Te Karaka where there is a small stream of water. The boundary is to run back so as to include some land behind this reserve until it reaches the Pukaka Stream, where they desire to fish eels and plant potatoes.

Te Tana Pukekohatu and Wiremu Nera Te Kanae are to have 50 acres each at Wairau Pukekohatu's land has been laid off by Mr. Budge, who was instructed also to lay off Kanae's.

If in the hurry of leaving Nelson and the confusion arising from the numbers of Natives who were collected there, and the fact of having no map of the sections in the several districts, any reserve has been omitted or the position of such reserves not clearly specified in this memorandum, I am satisfied that Major Richmond and Mr. Brunner know the position of all the reserves as pointed out and agreed upon by the Crown Commissioner and myself on the maps of the several districts. I do not therefore apprehend that Mr. Brunner, from his knowledge of the Natives, will have much difficulty in accurately marking and defining on the ground the several reserves that are required for the Natives of Nelson.

I believe that His Excellency has directed that extracts from my report on the Nelson purchase should be forwarded to Major Richmond for his information on the subject of reserves.
