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.
