PROTECTING ANTIQUITIES.
Writing to the Auckland Star, Professor 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, iand it-he Haapa-i Islands, immediate steps should be taken to pkv serve them from vandals. Purely the NeAV Zealand Government will become alive to the_,necessity of preserving /these relics of hoary antiquity. The Raglan people should now bestir themselves properly and institute a thorough search for further petroglyphs and archiac records, which very probably exist in that neighbourhood. Special trips should be organised to Raglan, and a curator of the glyiphs appointed, Mho would be held responsible for their safety."
