By L. J. Mathews
AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES BULLETIN 329
710 p. Hard cover, 1975. $35 plus $3 p & p
Possibly no subject in the whole field of agricultural techno-
logy has advanced as rapidly in recent years as that of
chemical methods of weed control. This publication
summarises and makes specific recommendations based on
the experimental work conducted largely by the New Zealand
Department of Agriculture. The book is divided into five
sections:
Section 1—Principles of weed control and the uses of
chemical weed killers.
Section 2—Supplies information on the control of many
of New Zealand's worst weeds.
Section 3—Gives recommendations for the control of
weeds in crops, pastures, and other specific
areas.
Section 4—Describes the chemicals and summarises their
uses.
Section 5—Deals with application of herbicides.

THE WHARE KOHANGA AND ITS LORE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 13
93 p. Reprint 1975. $5.75 plus 70c p & p
In this study of Whare Kohanga (the "Nest House") is con-
tained data of baptism rites performed over infants of superior
families only, together with other cultural ceremonies applied
to infants of high birth. The information obtained was con-
tributed by members of the Ngati-Kahungunu tribe of the
North Island. The text has been retained in its original style
in the belief that these basic studies should still be readily
available without textual alteration.
