Moeraki is marked on the southernmost point on the right and the Kakanui River is also indicated to the right. Two small ticks on the top of the hill to the right indicate the location of 'a native garden out of which several Moa bones had been dug'. Three ticks, just south of the river mouth mark the spot where Wills' drawing no. 11 (A-228-009) was taken. 'The dotted lines are boundaries of native reserves'.
