The Climate of Naw Zealand. — It is probable that the British Army engaged during the late war in New Zealand enjoyed better health and sustained fewer losses than in any previous campaign. Dr Mackinnon attributes this to the very beautiful and salubrious climate; and he adds, that the change which it effected in the men of regiments arriving from India was most marked. Sickly and sallow-complexioned on arrival, they soon lost the marks of ill-health engendered by tropical service, aud regained health and strength while undergoing arduous service in the field. The late Staff Surgeon, Dr Thompson, in his admirable ' History of New Zealand,' pointed out u\ e importance of that country as a sanitarium for our Indian invalids. It is not a little curious that there is an entire absence of malaria in New Zealand,— Zwtfttfi
