The camp, on Canton Island, of the New Zealand expedition to observe the total eclipse of the sun, is seen at the top. The low-lying nature of the island is clearly shown. This and the other photographs were taken by Mr. 1. L. Thomsen, of the Dominion Observatory, who was one of the party. The three smaller pictures show a young frigate bird on the left and a booby, bird in the centre, companions of the expedition. Less pleasant companions were the large crabs shown on the right: these were as large as a man's fist.
