THE CHARTOGKAPHY OF HEW ZEALAND. 
No. 1,212—price, 3s. 6cl. Then follow fourteen sheets of the 
largest formula, which are on one and the same scale 
of 1:280.000,* and which embrace the whole of New Zealand, f 
Comparing these fourteen sheets with Reymann’s Map of 
Germany and Central Europe, on the scale of 1:200.000, and 
supposing them divided in the same manner as Reymann’s, 
they would have formed exactly one hundred of such sheets. 
This will give an idea of the magnitude of this survey. Of the 
remaining fifty-nine charts and plans, six are at a scale of 
1:145.000 to 1:48.000; eleven, 1:36.000; two, 1:27.000 and 
1:26.000; seventeen, 1:24.000; three, 1:22.000; eleven, 1:21.000 
to 1:12.000; and nine, 1:9000 to 1:5000.

expeditions, and especially in the South Island journeys of

the expedition of Thomas Brunner, in the year 1846-47, from 
Nelson in a southerly direction along the coast to Tihihai 
Head, was published in the Journal of the Royal Geographical
