The director, Mr. G. Archey, said the present collection of stamps did not warrant the expense of cabinets for a special display, but it might be proper to collect stamps for display at some future time.

Armitage; fish-hooks and adzes of shell from the low coral island of Maupiti presented by Mr. L. H. Trenn; another election of Chinese antiquities from Captain W. F. Collins, of Southern Rhodesia; a cast of a .large wooden crested image from Hawaii presented ■by the Canterbury Museum; a eet of botanical field note books presented by Professor Arnold Wall; and an Oak cabinet inlaid with ivory, probably Hiepano-Mooresque deposited by> Mr. L.
