OTAMA AND HOKONUI EVOLUTION.
TO THE EDITOR, /Blff^rlf;l,may;b.e.perinitjtq<i 4 Jo gay a few words on the letter of " Southern OfOss," I think that before charging " J.M. " of 'pla- <•' giarism he should have bronght forward ex.- vijl them in liz^e with extracts bom jfl the writings of" JTM. on the same subject, W and let it be seen that he was only a copyist. This " Southern Cross " has miserably failed <tQj<io,r]fchQttgiii I ;i>ek^Yft.[3f^gpag"rfr«m the bitterness, apad temper ai jt^letter, would be very glad to dait'jttW'coulcL 'fj.M.," of Otama, has s^ni out a fair challeng^, not only to ' <; B(»rtfaerii Cross V bat to everyTreader of the, JP NSIGsr , defying ihe» , f to jCQajict or prove him guilty of plagiarism.
