Abstract
THE “Report of the Department of Lands and Survey, New Zealand,” for 1901-2 contains an account of the new magnetic observatory erected in Christchurch, New Zealand, and of the magnetic work to be carried on there under the direction of Dr. Coleridge Farr. The site of the observatory buildings in Hagley Park appears, from the illustrations in the Survey Report, to be one of considerable natural beauty. It would also seem to be very suitable from a magnetic standpoint, if we may judge from the preliminary survey carried out by Dr. Farr in the neighbourhood of Dunedin, In-vercargill. Nelson and Christchurch. Of all the districts examined, he found the vicinity of Christchurch the most free from local disturbances.
