Physical Geography of 



Paringa, Haast, Okura, "VTaiatoto, and Arawata ; the rest, of which 

 the area will be found in the following list, having their sources in the 

 secondary ranges. Of Banks Peninsula, forming an orographical 

 system separated from the rest, I have only given the total area, the 

 drainage being divided into portions too small for calculation by the 

 process mentioned. "With the exception of the "Waitaki, of which the 

 southern portion lies in Otago, the northern half of the Hurunui 

 system, and a small portion of the Taramakau sources, both situated in 

 JsTelson, all the hydrographic basins are comprised within the 

 boundaries of the two provinces. Exception must, however, be taken 

 to the southern sources of the Molyneux, (the largest river in New 

 Zealand), which are situated in this province, by far the greater portion 

 of its hydrographic system being in Otago.
