THERMAL PHENOMENA
OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDY “There is one subject calling out for detailed study, though it is not likely that any financial benefit would result from it,” said Dr. P. Marshall, in his presidential address at the Science Congress of the New Zealand Institute in Dunedin last week. “We have in the Dominion one of the most interesting volcanic districts in the whole world. Geysers, fumaroles, hot springs in infinite variety, sulphur waters, silica waters, with temperature always varying and contents largely unknown. ”There is yet no accurate description of the district. The best we have was written by a foreigner in 1864, 20 years before the great eruption occurred. It is almost incredible that his wonderful district should be advertised the whole world over and yet, when visitors are attracted here to see it, we are not able to give them any exact information about this extraordinary area, for which we are rightly framed in all countries. ”
