SOUNDS DISTRICT
AERIAL SURVEY LIKELY EXPLORATION OF LITTLE KNOWN COUNTRY VISIT TO INVERCARGILL TO ' FOLLOW (Special to the Times.) Dunedin, April 15. An aerial survey of the unexplored Sounds district is contemplated by Captain J. L. Findlay (of the Wigram Aerodrome), who leaves Christchurch for the South during the coming week to inspect the possibilities of carrying out an aerial survey of Lake Manapouri. A good deal of the country in the Sounds district is quite unexplored and it is possible that a survey will reveal many lakes, waterfalls and other geographical features which so far remain undiscovered. There is a great chain of lakes in the Otago and Southland districts and a survey on foot would take up a great deal of time, while by aeroplane it would be a comparatively easy matter to fly from one lake to another and obtain a very thorough survey.
Later Captain Findlay will visit Invercar gill to inspect various sites that offer pos sibilities for a landing ground.
