In other cases the purchases are still in progress. For the purposes of comparison between Columns 4 and 5 the sums of £6,936 and £12,362, being amounts of past payments not shown in Column 4 as above referred to, should be added to the totals of £38,399 and £68,499 respectively in the former. In all other cases the amount shown in Column 4 is the estimated total cost of the land, and the amount in Column 5 is included in that in Column 4. Column 6, survey-liens, &c, due to Government: Tauponuiatia, £4,496 ; Eohepotae, £6,602: total, £11,098. These liens will be recovered from time to time in land or money when the titles are in a position to be dealt with.
