The cost of printing Vol. XXVI. was £447 19s. 6d. for 730 

 pages, and that for the volume just issued (XXVII.) £441 16s. 

 for 742 pages. 



During the past year the manuscript of the library cata- 

 logue has been completed, and is now being printed, but it 

 will not probably be ready for issue for some months. 



An arrangement has been made with Mr. A. Hamilton for 

 the production of a standard work on Maori art, illustrated by 

 photographs of carvings and other articles, which now are 

 becoming very rare, and a permanent record of which should 

 be preserved. Mr. Hamilton has travelled in the interior of 

 the North Island for this purpose, and has already accumu- 

 lated a large and interesting collection of photographs, from 

 which selections will be made. It is hoped to have the first 

 volume, containing 100 plates, ready for issue by the end of 

 the year. 



The Honorary Treasurer's statement of accounts shows 

 that there is a balance in hand in the current account of 

 £58 6s. 8d. 



The amount appropriated for the publication of memoirs 

 and postponed papers (according to resolution) is now 

 £758 7s.
