thos and three weeks at a time occurring between the wet spells. The weather for the early part of April has been remarkably fine and it appears likely to continue. Much rain is anticipated in May and June, and generally July, August, and September were comparatively fine, while October was favourable for outdoor operations. The fact is (judging by the experience of the other territories) that the seasons here are very inconstant and there is no alternative but to push on engineering and survey works, namely being always prepared to profit by the fine weather whenever it occurs.
Before entering into an arrangement regarding the cost of the survey, which will fall in great part on the Colonial Government, it appears to me desirable that a more careful estimate should be prepared, although such a rough estimate as Charles Wilcox's, counting roughly at £3000, it is not improbable that the actual amount may considerably exceed that amount.
In conclusion, I would state that the best paragraph of Sir Charles Wilcox's Memorandum is that in which he states his opinion that the service of a competent Surveyor for the ordinary work of the Land Office could be secured at from £250 to £350 a year incidentally formed.
