FIJI-NEW ZEALAND EXPEDITION 183 
pictures of this work. Our cameras were hardly suited to bring 
out these delicate designs. After visiting several shops where 
photographs were on sale, I found a place in the top story of the 
Victoria Arcade which was just what I wanted. The place was 
quite unpretentious and not at all advertised, but there was a 
photographer who was a real artist and had won the ‘‘Grand 
Prix’’ at the Panama Exhibition. Mr. Henry Winklemann, whose 
specialty was yachting scenes of unusual excellence, had there 
gathered together an admirable series of illustrations of Maori 
art, bringing out the finest details with a fidelity which seemed to 
me unexcelled. He himself was absent, but had left his pictures 
in charge of Mr. L. Stubbs who kindly showed them to me and 
became interested in my plan to procure a series to be used in 
University publications and for lantern slides. The photographs 
were all copyrighted but Mr. Stubbs said he would take the re- 
sponsibility of allowing me to use them for educational purposes, 
provided due credit was given to Mr. Winklemann. I thus became 
the possessor of a very good series illustrating Maori houses of 
various sorts, their native dress and details of their carvings which 
I could not have obtained in any other way. The series also in- 
eluded pictures of canoes, canoe races and other characteristic 
activities which will help American audiences to a better under- 
standing of these wonderful people of the Antipodes. 
Back again in the museum, I met the assistant curator, Mr. L. 
T. Griffin, F.R.Z.S., an up-to-date museum man with much ex- 
perience as a zoological collector in South Africa and elsewhere. 
He is, moreover, a taxidermist of excellent ability and resource. 
He said that museum curators in New Zealand were greatly ham- 
pered by legal restrictions regarding collecting birds, particularly, 
and seemed doubtful about our securing a permit for Dr. Stoner, 
our ornithologist, to obtain representatives of the avifauna of that 
country. On account of this restriction the Auckland museum had 
hardly any duplicates available for exchange. 
Mr. Griffin is a most versatile man, his main zoological interest 
being in fishes, and his exhibit series of the fishes of New Zealand 
is one of the best of its kind. He is also an artist of real ability, 
illustrating his work with exquisite colored plates, and the fishes 
in the museum are colored with fidelity to nature. 
Many of the Maori carvings bear a close resemblance to the 
totem poles of the Alaskan Indians. No metal tools were used for 
this work but sharp shells and stones were utilized. The eyes in
