MAORI STOREHOUSES AND KINDRED STRUCTURES
By Elsdon Best
116 p., illustrated. 1974 reprint. $6.50 plus 85c p & p
As an authority on Maori culture, the author has compiled in this publication a comprehensive record on the use of the different storage structures, etc., used by the Maori in former times. By studying items pertaining to Maori technology it is hoped this will throw light upon many phases of the social life and customs hitherto unknown. This bulletin is No. 5 in the Dominion Museum Series.

MOA-HUNTER PERIOD OF MAORI CULTURE
Roger Duff—Canterbury Museum Bulletin No. 1
436 p. 3rd edition, 1977. $17.50 plus $1.50 p & p
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 gravel, 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.

DOMINION 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):

MUSIC: Suggestions for Teaching Music in Primary Schools
Department of Education

The course is planned as an 'on-going' course, leading by easy steps from the infant department to Form II. The ultimate aim is to make music an integral part of the child's life, to establish an interest that will continue beyond Form II and to carry over musical interests into adult life.
