Note.—The exact locality of this reserve has not been fixed nor can it be till the old land claims at Port Adventure have been settled by Mr. Commissioner Bell.
Reserve No. 3.—The Neck. This reserve will also have to be left until the old land claims have been settled. When this has been done, the remainder is to be divided amongst the half-castes residing there, at the rate of ten acres for every male, and eight acres for each female. I would suggest, that as the available land may be limited, that two acres be first allotted to each, and that the rest be given (if found necessary) in less available positions. After the half-castes have been provided for, the remainder for Ihaia Whaitiri and Hoani Turarere.
Reserve No. 4.—On the north side of Paterson's Inlet, between the old and new saw-mills, and including them, and Bullock's, 400 acres reserved for Tioni Topi Patuki.
Reserve No. 5.—40 acres on the north head of Horse Shoe Bay reserved for Hone Wetere Korako and Tari Wetere Te Kahu.
