amongst them the beech or Tawai, Rimu, Rewarewa, Wairangi, and various smaller kinds of timber. From Mangowero to Ararawa river, where we spent the Sunday. When we got here it was late in the evening; pitched our tents, and rested. Natives complained of fatigue. The appearance of the country we passed was wooded and level. Some very rich soil, intersected with - - - -, a few plains from 10 to 20 acres intervening. Spent the day at Ararawa river. Forenoon, service by Mr. Taylor, delivered in the wilderness, was both pretty and impressive. Had a walk in the afternoon, after a sumptuous dinner of wild duck, killed by a gun. Started at seven in the morning
