New Caledonia Club of wood with stellate head; 2 clubs, bird-bill 

 form, small; 2 common knobbed clubs, 2 fringed dresses, braid-covered cala- 

 bashes, fan, sling and 5 sling-stones. 



Also a Samoan canoe model and a Rarotongan ceremonial adze. So many- 

 specimens were incorrectly named that it was difficult to rightly attribute 

 them without a more careful examination 

 than was possible during a short visit, 

 and therefore many specimens have been 

 omitted from the list, but of these few 

 important ones.

SYDNEY. The Australian Museum. Robert Etheridge, Jr., J. P., Curator. 



In addition to an excellent general collection this museum possesses the 

 interesting Cook collection that was offered to the Bishop Museum many 

 years ago. This was carefully catalogued by Mr. Wilson, and we had intended 

 to spend several days here, as the museum was well worth the time, but a 

 letter of the Trustees requesting us to visit Christchurch and Dunedin in 

 New Zealand cut our time short and we were unable to catalogue the collec- 

 tion as we desired. Not only is the Australian collection very complete and 

 valuable, but it has considerably increased since my last visit. Specimens
