KIHIKIHI, 20th May.

The southern boundary of the territory mentioned in Rewi’s proposals as from Taupo to Pukehau is undefined, as many of the places laid down in proposals are unknown to Government and Europeans — in fact the whole of the boundaries are only tentatively given. In the northern portion of the reserve the King is reported to have some interest. The boundaries of this block will have to be surveyed.

It will be noticed that by the action of the Government the original proposal at Hikurangi to make Tawhiao a kind of independent princelet in this territory is now abandoned.
