A.—Pekapekarau, Whaeekahakaha, and Opouteke.

The 2s. 6d. per acre for these lands belong to the first arrangement agreed to; and the money advanced, with a trifling addition, is to be expended at that rate; but the remaining acres are to be at the rate of 1s. 3d. per acre.

One (Rev.—Baker's claim), comprised in two blocks, has been arranged for the sum of £160; I had much difficulty in settling this long-vexed and old Native land claim. I had to make presents to individuals, but these are included in the sum I have mentioned. One contains some very fine well-watered land, suitable for settlement.

Tutamoe and Kairara Blocks contain and include the blocks Taimahue and Totarapoka. The two Last mentioned blocks have also been reduced in price, from 2s. and 2s. 6d. per acre to 1s. 3d. per acre; but the money given in advance on these two blocks (£40) is to be expended on the land, at the old rate of 2s. and 2s. 6d. per acre. With this trifling exception, the price for the whole is arranged for 1s. 3d. per acre. The land is now being surveyed.

Land Purchase Agent.
