Abstract

IN an interesting article which appeared in NATURE, vol. xxii. p. 461, entitled “The New Zealand Institute,” attention was called to the publications of the Institute and to the excellent work in science achieved by the author of the manual above mentioned, and by many other naturalists, as well by geologists, chemists, astronomers, archæologists, physicists, and philosophers. When the traditional New Zealander visits the ruins of the old country, it is to be feared that he will lament our ignorance instead of expressing his admiration of our past eminence. Manual of the New Zealand Mollusca. By Frederick Wollaston Hutton Published by command. (Wellington, 1880.)
