No. 4. Memorandum on Native Beserves in Otago and Southland by Mr. G. S. Cooper. These Provinces were acquired from the Natives in three distinct purchases— 1. The Otago Block, by Captain Symonds. 2. The Murihiku Block, by Mr. Mantell. 3. The Stewarts Island purchase, by Mr. Clarke. In each of these, of course, reserves were made for the benefit of the sellers. I am not aware that much has to be done in reference to reserves in the first named block ; but oni* case has come under the notice of the Government, that of the Karoro Beserve, near the mouth of the Clutha Biver in Molyneux Bay, which requires to be surveyed, in order to the issue of a grant. The Provincial authorities of Otago have refused to survey this land. There may be other similar cases in this block, but I am not aware of any.
