Unfortunately, acting under medical advice, Dr. Smith has been prevented from undertaking the work, hut Sir William Hardy has now induced Dr. Ezer Griffiths, F.R.S., of the National Physical Laboratory, lo come to New Zealand in charge of this survey. Ur. Griffiths has a world-wide reputation on temperatures, humidity, etc. Dr. Griffiths will he accompanied by other scientists from Cambridge, and it is proposed that Hie expedition should leave England about the middle of September and arrive in New Zealand about ttie end of October. This will give these scientists an opportunity of meeting the refrigerated engineers from the freezing works in the Dominion at the annual conference which the Meat Board arranges about t lie beginning of Ihe. season. A general survey of the London end has already been commenced by members of the expedition. It is considered that this Dominion is very fortunate in obtaining the services of these scientists, and there is no doubt that this survey will he very beneficial to Hie New Zealand meat business as a result of the knowledge obtained.
