The annual returns of the volunteer corps in the Canterbury district show that the total enrolled strength of the force in North and South Canterbury is 1101 officers and men, of whom only eighty-five failed to qualify as efficient. This result is not only highly satisfactory, but is the best ever obtained in any volunteer year in this district. The following are the particulars of the various corps : — KORTH CANTEEBUEY.
