The statement of expenses (which include not only the cost of the Reconnaissance Surveys but also that of the Location Survey of the selected route) shows that the amount expended in England for salaries, equipment (including surveying instruments), proportion of Engineers' salaries, &c. amounted to £1,480.15.6 and that the sum of £1,297.8.11 was expended in the Colony.

Of the total expenditure in the Colony approximately one-half was in respect of the Reconnaissance Surveys and we think (if it be desired to divide the total expenditure between the Reconnaissance and Location Surveys) that one moiety of such expenditure may be allocated to each.

With regard to the Equipment both in England and in the Colony...
