A MAGNETIC SURVEY.
ME FARE’S INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS. [By Telegraph—Press Association.] - . Wellington, last night. Mr Coleridge Farr, who has been engaged as observer on the magnetic survey, has arrived here to continue his observations after having spent some time north. From the observations already taken, Mr Tarr says there seems to bo reason to suppose there is a magnetic disturbance in the Coromandel district. Of disturbances revealed in the South Island, those in the Bluff and Nelson districts appear most pronounced. Others exist in Otago and Banks Peninsula. Indeed the region between these points is magnetically irregular. There is also a disturbance between Okarito and Gillespie’s Beach on the West Coast.
The necessary plans in connection with ' the establishment of a permanent observatory arc being propared by the I üblic Works Department.
