This report on earthquake microzoning is aimed at dividing
extensive areas of Wellington into smaller zones and is
intended as a guide only to planning of future redevelopment.
The detailed studies of local geology and soil investigations
have resulted in an Earthquake Microzone Map of Wellington.
This map accompanies this publication. This report is
the first one of a series. Later it is the intention to microzone
other areas in the same way.

NATIONAL MUSEUM MONOGRAPHS
Elsdon Best (1856–1931), who was a member of the staff
of the then Dominion Museum from 1911 to 1931, made a
notable contribution to the study of Maori ethnology. After a
lifetime of experience, including many years in close contact
with the Maoris of the Urewera, he spent the last 20 years of
his life writing particularly of the social customs and beliefs of
the Maori people. There is still a demand for the many
monographs written by Elsdon Best and the following titles
have been reprinted without alteration to the original text
(National Museum):

MOA-HUNTER PERIOD OF MAORI CULTURE
ROGER DUFT—CANTERBURY MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 1
$17.50
436 p. Third edition. 1977.
This book deals with the most important site yet investigated
and in its discussions it traverses most of the New Zealand
archaeological field.
A chance discovery in 1939 by a 13-year-old boy revealed
the grave of a chief in the gravels of the Wairau boulder
bank. The grave, goods, and bones of the ancient chief, prone
in his gravel grave, with skull directed towards the setting
sun, spoke with more authority regarding his race than the
distorted memories of Maori tradition.
Although scholarly and technical, the book sustains
throughout the drama of this archaeological discovery, and
recreates from the evidence of bone and stone the life of our
first Polynesians in the Moa-hunter period of Maori culture.
