Abstract
ON the occasion of the meeting of the Australasian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science at Auckland on January 12-19 this year, a useful handbook to New Zealand was issued to members. The book contains some thirty short articles on various aspects of the country, but the greater part is concerned with the geology, natural history and native population. Among the most valuable chapters are those on the climate by Mr. E. Kidson, the geomorphology of Wellington by Prof. C. A. Cotton, the economic geology of New Zealand by Mr. J. Henderson, the ecology by Mr. H. H. Allan and the forests by Mr. E. P. Turner. The volume gives in a collected form a great deal of precise information which is not otherwise easily accessible. The chapter on New Zealand's economic history discusses the future development of the resources of the Dominion.
