THE NEW ZEALAND ALPS

It was our intention to make a two days' excursion up the Murchison Glacier with Cooper, but showery weather put a veto on our plans, and we were fain to be content with a short excursion to the Onslow Glacier, where some exposures were effected.

Leaving Mr. Brodrick's hospitable quarters on December 10, by the 12th we were again at the Hermitage.
