IN CENTRAL OTAGO
THE DUNSTAN, by C. W. S. Moore; Otago Centennial Historical Publications, 15/-. ()TAGO has amply demonstrated local pride and a feeling for history and tradition in its centennial publications. This latest, about the Alexandra-Clyde district, is a well-arranged and sufficiently. documented account, though shorter than most of its companion — volumes. A general picture of the district is followed by chapters on the early
pastoralists, goldmining, and golddredging, and coalmining, the indus- | tries that supported the fluctuating population of early days. The story of local government | and of the personalities involved is fully: covered, and there are accounts continued en next page) ; ;
BOOKS (continued from previous page) of the development of roads and railways, and of irrigation on which prosperity now largely depends. There are some curious omissions. There is no map-a serious matter; and in the liberal supply of photographs there is none either of Vincent Pyke or of William (later Sir William) Fraser.
