At the annual meeting of the Governors of the New Zealand Institute, Professor Chilton, who presided, made reference to the death of Mr Stewart, C.E., of Auckland, and expressed the opinion that the biological results of the Australian Antarctic expedition would equal if they did not surpass those of i any others in interest and completeness. Regret was expressed at the probable loss of the Endeavour. Congratulations j were extended to Mr Cheeseman on the publication of another noteworthy contribution to the botany of New Zealand.
