Abstract
THE report of the Surveyor-General of New Zealand for the year ending March 31, 1911, has recently been published, and shows both a larger outturn and a decreased cost under most headings. Topographical survey shows the largest output of more than two and a quarter million acres, while nearly half a million acres were covered by the triangulation. The previous report referred to the urgent need for an effective major triangulation as a control for the very extensive network of minor triangles, and the present report shows work on triangulation of the second order as being done in the Wellington district, but apparently not elsewhere, except a new base-line in Taranaki district.
