An important article from the pen of the late Dr. Charles Chree, F.R.S., on the “Value of Magnetic Investigations in New Zealand and Samoa” appears in Vol. 10, No. 2, of the N.Z.

This article discusses the present position of our knowledge of Terrestrial Magnetism and indicates the great importance of Observations at the places mentioned in throwing light on the questions involved.
