SCHEDULE.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 11th March, 1874.

THE following letter from Mr. C. Thorne, of
London, on the subject of New Zealand Flax
manufacture, is published for general information.

DANIEL POLLEN.

16, Mark Lane, E.C., London,
15th December, 1873.

SIR,-Agreeably to the promise made in my letter of
the 27th ultimo (press copy of which I herein enclose),
I have sent to you by the Book Post the photograph
of the case of "Phormium Exhibits" shown in "The
Dundee Museum" by the Agent-General, Dr.
Featherston. For the particulars of the contents, I
refer you to the Dundee Advertiser of the 5th
November, which I sent to you on 10th November.

Mr. N. T. Lockhart manufactured some "gasket,"
adapted for packing steam cylinders, from the Phor-
mium, and succeeded in getting the Leith, Hull, and
Hamburgh Steam Packet Company to give it a
trial. The report I consider favourable. It was as
follows:-

"The report of the engineers who used your
packing is this: They find no fault with the material,
but the unequal manner in which it has been spun
renders it perfectly unfit for gaskets of steam-tight
doors. I have no doubt, if care was taken in the
spinning, but it could be used, if difference in price
would recommend it."

Mr. Lockhart says, "I had only a small quantity, -
too little for a sliver, hence the inequality com-
plained of. With a large quantity, this would be
avoided."

I am, &c.,
C. THORNE.

To the Hon. the Colonial Secretary,
Wellington, New Zealand.
