Speaking on the subject of Antarctica at a meeting in Wellington, Mr A. Leigh Hunt referred to the Ross Sea Dependency, an area, of 1,7000,000 square miles under New Zealand’s jurisdiction. He had not been able, he said, to find out how New Zealand had got it or by what right it held it, but it was significant that the last map issued by the National Geographic Society, based very largely on Rear-Admiral Byrd's data, did not show tho Ross Sea Depnedency as under New Zealand’s jurisdiction.
