Mr Grey las been much impressed with the scenic beauty of the lake, and compares the climate with that of Arisona in its bracing qualities. The camp at Waihora, pitched at the valley mouth, with to wering cliffs on both aides, was in one of the most picturesque spots on the lake. The large numbers of tuis and bellbirds there were a source of delight to the party, Mr Grev calling the camp, "The Valley of the Tuis." After six days at Tongariro Mr Grey leaves for Wellington.' He has gathered considerable material for his book dealing with fishing at the Bay of Islands and N at Taupo.
