Maps, pages 108 and 104, show the position of the claim and the veins whichit encloses. Other Areas. The areas lying to the north-east and south of the claims mentioned enclose numerous veins,which have in former years been exploited by various companies and private individuals. Of theseveins Murphys and the Flying Cloud may be mentioned as having yielded, near the surface, patchesof bonanza ore. The characteristics of these veins are in the main the same as those of the OldKapanga Mine. Tc accompany Bulletin N$ 4-.

The Tokatea-Success Range may be considered as that stretch of the main divide extendingsouthward from a point 40 chains north of Tokatea Hill to the Whangapoua Saddle. The mostprominent heights on the range are Tokatea Hill (1,577 ft.), Trigonometrical Station UU (1,852 ft.),and Kaipawa or Success Hill (1,935 ft.). Tokatea Saddle has an elevation of 1,200 ft. The range-flanks, which are in the main fairly steep, are incised by several small streams draining to eithercoast-line, and support a vegetation consisting in places of light
