LANDS AND SURVEY DEPARTMENT. The operations in connection with the survey of Native village lands and standard coastal traverse have been temporarily held up owing to interference with survey marks by a certain section of the Natives. The survey of Native village land presents many difficulties, owing principally to the difficulty of getting the Natives to point out boundaries. On the survey of the Lufilufi-Falefa boundary the procedure adopted was to get each village to point out its boundary independent of the other, survey the lines as pointed out, and mark out the boundary-line after considering all claims.
