Writing to the 'Auckland Star Profess; or Wragge says: "Considering the immense antiquity and added ' interest attaching to the rock-carvings at Raglan, linking up as they now do with the other petroglyphs of the Pacific, and especially connecting with those found in New Caledonia, Hawaii, and the Haapai 'lslands, immediate steps should be taken to preserve them from vandals. Surely the New Zealand Government will become alive to the necessity of preserving these relics of hoary antiquity. The Baglan people should now bestir themselves properly and institute a -thorough search for further petroglyphs and archaic records, which very probably exist in that neighborhood. Special trips should oe organised to Baglan,, and a curator of the glyphs appointed, who would be held responsible fof their safety.
