MAORI TIKI FOUND IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
The recent discovery of a tiki in Central America has considerably interested scientific circles In New Zealand. Commenting at a meeting or the Auckland Institute, Mr. George Graham said it did not seem so strange after all. Prior to the settlement of this country many Maoris went abroad In whalers, and there was a fairly close connection between New Zealand and, for instance, the South American coast. ...It was his own theory, too, that the famous Kaitaia lintel—incidentally, not a lintel at all—was brought to the north of Auckland from Borneo by one of the early French voyagers who refitted there.
