NEW ZEALAND GEOGRAPHER: Vol. 2, No. 1. Printed by. Whitcombe & Tombs for the N.Z. Geographical Society. ‘THE Geographer has entered its second year without any modification of its high standards. For the general reader the chief feature of this issue is an article by Alan Mulgan on the associa-

The Marlborough Coast route of the South Island Main Trunk railway fills 12 pages of not too technical geological notes by Professor G. Jobberns, and Dr. H. H.

The connection between geography and manufacturing is not. very prominent in J. L. Hewland’s long article, and there is more biology than geology in Dr. G. H. Cunningham’s account of the introduction of. plant diseases. But the issue as a whole is well balanced and again beautifully illustrated.
