A REQUEST for leave to amend the specification relating to the undermentioned application for Letters Patent has been received, and is open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time from one month from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the amendments.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—
(1.) To strike out the words “any desired material,” line 6, page 2 of specification, and insert instead the word “tow.”
(2.) To insert the word “the” instead of the word “flax,” and the words “of New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax)” after the word “stripping,” line 12, page 2.
(3.) To insert the words “New Zealand” before the word “flax,” line 14, page 2.
