Although we have confined out- notes, in the fore- 
going List, to that portion of Natal which is bounded 
by the ocean, and the three rivers — Tugela, Mooi, 
and Umkomas, yet the remaining parts are probably 
represented pretty fully. Our district itself natu- 
rally falls into three distinct sections, viz. : — 
C., the Coast Section, extending from the sea to an 
elevation of about l,00()ffc. To this Section exclu- 
sively belong our Nos. Id, 17, 40, 60, 93, 96, 99, 101, 
105.107,108,122,123,126,131. 
M., the Midland Section, whose central line may 
be taken as stretching from Patillo’s, by Botha s, 
through the Inanda hills, over Great Noodsberg to 
Umpumulo, say from 2,000 to 2,500ft above the sea. 
The upper limit is tolerably well drawn by the high 
road from Richmond to the City, and thence to Grcv- 
town. This Section claims exclusively Nos. 1 3 5 
12, 21, 22, 23, 30, 32, 35, 43, 47, 48, 52, 62, 71, 73, W, 
81, 84, 94, 97, 109, 111, 114, 118, 130. 
L., the Upland Sectiou, whose base-line may be 
taken as running from Seven-Mile-Bush on Upper 
Umkomas, through Boston, Lower Nottingham dis- 
trict, and Karkloof, to the heights above Grcytown, 
its upper limit being the Mooi River. These' limits 
include the ‘ backbone ’ of Natal, from Drakensberg 
to Mount West. Its elevation may be given roughly 
as 4,000 to 7,000ft. above the sea. To this Section 
belong exclusively Nos. 6, 15, 16, 18, 20, 25, 31, 37 
41, 51, 53, 54, 55, 64, 69, 74, 75, 78, 79, 82, 83, 89, 98*
