2. Waihou A and B and Subdivisions. —-Estimated area, 7,900 acres. We propose that Subdivisions A 1 (190 acres) and A 7 (160 acres) be reserved for Maori occupation, and portions of the following : A 2 (400 acres), A 4 (800 acres), A 5 (600 acres), A 6 (900 acres), and A 8 (900 acres). In order not to disturb existing partitions of the Native Land Court and to conserve the kaingas and cultivations along the road, which skirts the south end of the block, the reserves will cover nearly the whole of this frontage. Total reserves, 3,950 acres. The area for general settlement if suitable is at the north end of A 2 (179 acres), of A 4 (472 acres), of A 5 (383 acres), of A 6 (676 acres), of A 8 (797 acres), the whole of A 3 (743 acres), and the whole of B (700 acres). Total, 3,950 acres.
