Mr. Surveyor G. F. Swainson to the Under-Secertary, Native Department.

In accordance with your request I have the honour to forward a return I have prepared of all Crown grants made to Natives in fulfilment of promises made by the Government on the purchase of lands in the Wairarapa District. The return also shows the ungranted reserves of the same class. I also forward a draft general return of grants made within the province.

Enclosure.

(No. 2.)
Special Reserves not granted (Wairarapa District).

The above are, I think, all the special reserves in the Wairarapa District for which grants have been promised by the Government at the time of purchase of the blocks within which they are situate, or at a subsequent date.

The general reserves are numerous, and can only be individualized by operation of Native Lands Act or of some other tribunal appointed by the Government in case the Native title is deemed to have been extinguished.

For general reserves see return of all Native reserves in Appendix to Journals, and in Report of Land Purchase Department.
