Abstract
SOME old settlers believe that great bush fires cause rain: During this summer exceptionally dry weather has prevailed over the greater part of New Zealand, more especially along the eastern coast; in several of the towns prayers for rain have been offered up in the churches. I beg to send some notes of recent date extracted from our home diary. It should be stated that this district, adjoining Banks' Peninsula, has been suffering from extensive bush fires since the 18th of last month.
