Abstract
WESTLAND is the province on the western coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Its name brings back a vision of a land covered by forests of tropical luxuriance, rising from a blue sea fringed by a white line of surf to blue mountains capped with fields of snow, of clean glaciers flowing steeply down into glades of tree ferns, and of a succession of pictures so varied and all so perfect in composition that we regard Westland as the most beautiful country it has been our privilege to see.
