THE ROTORUA GEYSERS.
The activity among the geysers at Whakarewarewa reported in our last issue has continued since (says the Hot Lakes Chronicle of Saturday). On Wednesday, Waikorohiiii, the Prince of Wales' Feather, and Kereru geysers played at intervals all day. On Thursday, Waikorohiiii was particularly active, and at six a.m. Te Horu (Pohutu's cauldron) was very active; thirty-five minutes later it commenced to play,- and overflowed at thirteen minutes to seven. At eight minutes to seven Pohutu gave a fine exhibition, the cauldron at the same time throwing water to heights varying from 15ft to 25ft. : Pohutu played for an hour and fifty-four minutes. Din ing the day, Waikorohihi, the Prince of Wales' Feather, and Kereru geysers played at intervals. The Papakura geyser is a particularly pretty sight at present, unusual activity being displayed by it. Waikite has not played since its eruption 10 or 12 days ago, but continues in a state of great activity. Yesterday Pohutu and the cauldron were very much agitated.
