for a further description of the work done at your station

report is a record of satisfactory work, and they have read
it with interest. I am to thank you on behalf of Govern-

the year.

                                            I have the honour to be,

                                                            SIR,

                                            Your most obedient servant,

                                                            A. B. REID,

                                                            Deputy Secretary.
