R. N. Jones, Under-Secretary, Native Department. I hereby certify that the Statement of Receipts and Payments, Income and Expenditure Accounts, Appropriation Accounts, and Balance-sheet have been compared with the audited Accounts and Balance-sheets of the respective Maori Land Boards, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby. The certificate on the Accounts and Balance-sheet of the Tairawhiti Maori Land Board is subject to the following : Comment.— The Audit Office is unable to certify to the adequacy of securities owing to the absence of information as to the value of the lands secured.

(2) The assets and liabilities of the Anaura Station have not been incorporated in the Accounts.— G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General.
