FISHING METHODS AND DEVICES OF THE MAORI
By Elsdon Best
National Museum Bulletin No. 12
264 p. $15.95
Another in the series of the Best publications it has been reprinted without revision so that the basic studies may be accessible in the original style.
This particular bulletin still remains the only comprehensive account of most aspects of Maori fishing. The descriptions of methods employed in fishing given here are still quite basic for any future studies in this field since no first-hand observations can now be made. The detailed fishing methods outlined are accompanied by descriptions of the artifacts used, together with associated chants, magic formulae, special observances, and fishing lore.

FOREST LORE OF THE MAORI
By Elsdon Best
DOMINION MUSEUM BULLETIN NO. 14
421 p. 1977. $17.95
Printed without textual alteration, the work provides an important basis for any study of old-time Maori economics and perhaps more importantly of his attitude to what was a major part of his environment. It will be of more general interest today than when first written, since it stresses so fully the uses made by the Maori people of their natural resources, and supplies basic material for further studies in ethnobotany and ethnozoology. The reverence which the old time Maori showed towards natural resources mirrors the modern concern for ecological principles.
