The Collectors of Customs have been directed by the Government to arrange foi* the transmission of the Exhibits at the public expense and free of charge to the Exhibitors. 3. The space which has been allotted to New Zealand is only 8,000 square feet, including passages, so that the greatest economy will be required in its appointment. Animal and Vegetable products will be separately dealt with under Regulations of which due notice will be given. As the Commissioners for New Zealand are required to furnish, before the Ist June, 1880, approximate plans showing the manner of allotting the space assigned to them, and lists of their Exhibitors, and other information necessary for the production of the Official Catalogue ; and as it is further provided tluit space assigned and not occupied on the Ist September, 1880, will revert to the Commission, it is necessary that every proposing Exhibitor should apply before the 15th May for a share of the space allotted to New Zealand, according to the printed form provided, copies of which will be furnished to applicants by the Local Committees. 4. A.ll applications for space must be properly filled up, approved by the Local Committees, and be accepted by the Executive Commissioner, to insure reception of the Exhibits by the Commissioners. 5.
