 2nd April 



more and more fully recognized in all parts of the world, New 

 Zealand has as yet taken no steps for its encouragement, and no 

 financial assistance has so far been given to private workers in 

 any department of science. When it is remembered that 

 Captain Hutton unselfishly devoted himself throughout his life- 

 time to the advancement of Natural Science in New Zealand, 

 and that no worker has done more to increase the world's 

 knowledge of the geology, zoology, and botany of New Zealand 

 than he did, it is peculiarly appropriate that his name should be 

 associated with the first fund established in New Zealand for 

 encouragement of further study of these subjects. We in Aus- 

 tralia are almost equally indebted to Captain Hutton, having 

 reaped a portion of the benefits of his work, and the appeal 

 should have equal force here. Contributions should be forwarded 

 to Dr. Chilton, hon. treasurer Hutton Memorial Research Fund, 

 Canterbury College, Christchurch, N.Z.
