special subject. The valuable bulk of the ethnooraphic collection 

 indeed is loaned by Trinity College (University), whose ownership, 

 however, is only a matter of form (Catalogue, 1895, see p. 581). In 

 this part of the collection are very rare pieces obtained by the Cook 



Oceanic explorations, besides others from New Zealand, Hervey, Fiji, 

 etc. A description of those treasures, with illustrations, would be 

 appreciated, since Dublin is not so easy of access. Each region is 

 divided into eight groui)s — lire, war and the chase, music, clothing, 

 house utensils, agriculture, religion, miscellaneous.
