1 Nos. 1, 2 and 4 in the following list were purchased through the Fels Fund. Nos. 3 and 5, both formerly in the Barden collection, are the gift of Mr. E. and the Misses De Beer. For the accompanying photographs—the work of Mr. Franz Barta of Dunedin—a special grant was made available by the Museum Management Committee. I am indebted to my colleagues in Dunedin, especially to Professor G. R. Manton, for their advice, and to Mr. Denys Haynes, Mr. R. A. Higgins, and Mr. R. D. Barnett for examining and offering advice upon photographs which I submitted to their judgment, and for many other courtesies.

The registration number and alleged provenance is given at the beginning of the description of each object.
