SIR,—The revision of the lists which had been hurriedly published in the “Journal Officiel” of the awards at the Paris Exhibition has taken a longer time than was expected, and is not yet completed.

In addition to the awards already reported to you, the following have been made to the New Zealand exhibitors who had contributed to the Comte de Jouffroy d’Abbans’s collection in the French Colonial Courts:—

Gold medal: To Count Jouffroy d’Abbans for his collection of New Zealand woods.

Silver medals: Count Jouffroy d’Abbans for his collection of New Zealand photographs, also for his statistical and scientific collection; W. T. L. Travers, Mrs. S. Mair, W. Dougal, Middlemas and Vercoe, Marco Fosella, H. Liardet, collaborateurs of Count d’Abbans, for their various contributions to his collection.

At Count d’Abbans’s request I have undertaken to send out their diplomas for these medals to the persons named.

The Count writes to me that at his instance the “palmes d’or” (Officier de l’Instruction Publique) have been granted to Sir James Hector in recognition of his services; also that Mr. Malfroy is to receive the Legion of Honour, and that Mr. Lloyd, Superintendent of the New Zealand Courts, and Mr. Purchase, attendant, are to have the “palmes d’argent” (Officiers de l’Academie).

The revised lists show that a silver medal was awarded to Mr. H. Liardet for his exhibits made of feathers. He had been entered by mistake in the “Journal Officiel” as an Australian exhibitor.

I have, &c.,
F. D. BELL.
