Sir James Hector gave a short description of the geological structure of the country from the Kaikouras to the southern part of Canterbury, and referred especially to the recent earthquakes in that district, as described in the late reports of the Geological Department. Mr. A. McKay, Assistant Geologist, then exhibited about a hundred views, taken by himself, on the screen, to illustrate the above remarks. As each view was shown Sir James Hector made descriptive remarks. The views were much admired, and a .vote of thanks was accorded to Sir James Hector and Mr. McKay.
