OUR ALPINE REGIONS
A SCIENTIST'S TRIBUTE. By Telegraph, —Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Mr. Griffiths Taylor, one of the scientific men with the Antarctic expedition, writing from the Hermitage at Mount Cook, says: "Dear Mr. Kinsey—Will you please convey to the gentlemen concerned our grateful thanks for their kindness in regard to our visit to New Zealand's Alps. I need hardly emphasise how valuable it is to the expedition that we should be able to compare the glacial regions of a temperate climate with those of the Antarctic. 1' venture to hope that our geological results will have a greater interest for the Dominion on this account. Mr. Graham has been extremely kind, and has given us much useful help,.not only in the details of climbing and ski-ing, but also as to the rate of movement of tTie glaciers in this region. In conclusion, may I say that in their wealth of moraine material, and in ease of approach, your Alps, to my mind, far surpass the Swiss, while in scenery they are certainly not inferior."
