Further it is nicely illustrated with half-tone engravings and maps of the 'thermal centres, while it includes interesting articles on "Shooting- and Fishing," "Geysers: Ther Cause and Action," "Thermal Spas of New Zealand," and "Hints re Travel in New Zealand." It is one of the first books set by the linotype in this colony, and the clearness of its printing- and admirable character of the genera 1 get up are a credit to the "Star" and "Craphic" office, where it was published.
