MAORI ARTICLES
MR. CALDER’S COLLECTION PRESENTED TO MUSEUM The Rev. Jasper Calder, the Anglican City Missioner, has presented the Museum with his interesting collection of Maori articles. The collection also includes curios from the Pacific Islands, natural bistory specimens, including birds and reptiles, and several skulls. A cloak of an unusual type is in the Maori section, also a canoe prow of much interest to the museum’s curator (Mr. Gilbert Archey). Several of the articles have already arrived at the museum. Another recent gift was a bequest from the late Mr. C. J. Halfpenny. This Maori collection is also most acceptable, as it includes bone hooks and other implements, adzes and flaked obsidian knives. Recent gifts include: Mr. S. Rawnsley, junr., cluster of oyster shells on a stick; Professor Worley, stone adze and knapping stone found on Mount Hobson; Mr. C. Fletcher, hoanga (Maori grindstone) from Kore Kore pa, Muriwai; Mr. S. KLronfeldt, Maori sinker; Mr. George Graham, adze found at Motu-Hurakia; Mr. T. Simson, a fossilised moa bone from Kikurangi, Whangarei; Mr. George Leaity, stone beater found at Ngawhau, Bay of Islands; Master Morton Douglas, pounder stone from Lake Arapuni.
