Abstract
WE have been favoured by Dr. Hector, F.R.S., Director of the Geological Survey of New Zealand, with a copy of a Preliminary Report drawn up by him for the New Zealand Government regarding the volcanic eruptions of last June in the North Island. It is gratifying to find that the hope expressed in NATURE (p. 322) has been so promptly fulfilled, and that the investigation of the remarkable phenomena has been undertaken by so competent an observer as Dr. Hector. The following is his Report, but it is merely a preliminary outline, and will no doubt be followed by much ampler details.
