Vale Univocsity has large funds oarmarKcd for an observatory somewhere in the southern hemisphere. Mr F. G. Gibbs brought before the Yale authorities the advantages offered by Nelson, and received a reply from the director of Vale Observatory stating that he is greatly interested in the information given, and that the chance of establishing an observatory hero is certainly .good enough to warrant considerable trouble in the collection of meteorological data. The Cawthron trustees are willing to allow the site on Port Hills selected by Dr Evershed to be used.
