PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
There was a fair attendance at this week's meeting of the geological section of the Wellington Philosophical Society held in the Dominion Museum. ' Dr. J. Allan Thomson submitted an exhibit of fossils from the .Herring River, Marlborough. Dr. Thomson also read a paper by Dr. Marie C. Stopes on "An Early Typo of the Abietineae from the Cretaceous of New Zealand." Another paper by Mr. P. G. Morgan, M.A., F.G.S., gave notes on a visit to-Marl-borough and North Canterbury with special reference to Amuri limestone. The paper entitled "Note's on a Trial Artesian Bore at Napier," by Mr. R. W. Holmes, M.lns't., C.E., was held, over' owing to the writer's absence from the city. - The word "abietineae" means a class of wood belonging to the spruce type, and is not to be found in New Zealand, hence the interest attaching to this fossil.
