THE SOUTHERN FALLS.
The New Zealand Times publishes the following account of Southern Falls, Arthur River, about SO miles from the head of Milford Sound:—“ It is said to be no less than 5700 ft. high, and takes the whole waters of the Arthur River with it, making one almost perpendicular leap of 3000 ft. downwards at starting. It is only 20ft. broad at the first point of its descent, and looks at a distance like a bright, broad thread of water. The source is apparently in some large glacier among mountains over 9000 ft. high. Even in dry weather it takes down five times as much water as the Bowen Falls in the same district do at any time.”
