The above are, I think, all the special reserves in the Wairarapa District for which grants have been promised by the Government at the time of purchase of the blocks within which they are situate, or at a subsequent date.
The general reserves are numerous, and can only be individualized by operation of Native Lands Act or of some other tribunal appointed by the Government in case the Native title is deemed to have been extinguished.
For general reserves see return of all Native reserves in Appendix to Journals, and in Report of Land Purchase Department.
George F. Swainson,
Late Commissioner of Native Reserves.
