MEMOEANDUM by E. C. Maikwabdto. At the "Waiari engagement there were about thirty-five dead bodies of Natives actually picked up, though it may safely be said that at least twelve more were wounded, and were carried down by the stream, and subsequently died. The total loss at Eangiahio may be estimated at sixty. I discovered several dead bodies the week after the engagement, and the Natives themselves confessed to having lost several during the pursuit by the troops, though their bodies were not recovered by the parties who went out in search. At Orakau the Native loss was estimated at 175. Several stretchers were found the morning after the fight, evidently used by the Natives in carrying away their dead. The scrub was so thick that it was impossible to find every corpse. Bth December, 1864. »■ C. Mainwatiog.
