PI. LVIII. 



It being understood that the Antarctic ship Terra Nova would 

 be at the disposal of the New Zealand Government during her 

 stay in these waters, the Committee urged that investigations, in 

 the nature of soundings and collecting, should be prosecuted on 

 the continental shelf; but as the Government decided that purely 

 survey work was to be undertaken instead, no biological results 

 are availably. 



As a personal undertaking, Mr. D. G. Lillie, biologist of the 

 Terra Nova, accompanied the Norwegian whalers now operating 

 in our vvaters, and made some interesting observations and valu- 

 able collections. The results will be published in London. 



Mr. Edgar R. Waite, a member of the Committee, accompanied 

 the Sub- Antarctic cruise of the Australasian Antarctic expedition's 

 ship Aurora in 1912, and collected at the Macquarie and Auckland 

 Islands. As his observations will not be made public until the 

 complete results of the expedition are issued, they cannot be fur- 

 ther referred to. 



The Committee has not incurred any exjjense during the period 

 under review, but recommends that the present grant be re-voted 

 and that the existing members be re-appointed. — Edgar R. Waite, 

 Acting Hon. Secretary. 



The report was adopted and the name of Mr. G. M. Thomson, 

 M.P., F.L.S., was added to the Committee.

The following interim report was submitted by Col. W. V. 

 Legge, the secretary, and it was decided to remit it to the next 

 (Hobart) meeting for final action.
