CURIOS FOR MUSEUM
DOUBT ABOUT “HOCKEN" ORIGIN CURATOR’S STATEMENT Special to THE SUN DUNEDIN, Friday. In connection with a recent cable saying that a valuable collection of Maori curios, part of the Hocken Collection, had been purchased for the Auckland Museum by Mr. Moss Davis, Dr. Bernham, curator of the Otago University Museum, writes: — “As custodian of the Hocken Collection given to this museum some 20 years ago, I wish to assure the public that the Maori curios purchased at a sale in London and stated in a cablegram *o have ‘originally belonged to the Hocken Collection,* never formed part of the gift to this museum. Dr. Hocken’s gift is intact. None of the articles has been removed from this museum, although his specimens are now incorporated with the much more etxensive series of Maori objects now on exhibition here.**
