Honolulu with monev from the United States National Science Foundation, testifies to the international repute won by Dr Roger Duff and to the worth of scientific amenities provided in Christchurch under his guidance. Since the estab lishment of the Canterbury Museum Trust Board and the better definition of the museum’s purposes, the public have been shown
how concentration on topics such as Polynesian archaeology can be infinitely more rewarding for a New Zealand institution than the dispersal of relatively slender resources over a very wide field The Bishop Museum, which enjoys an enviable reputation among scientists, is probably best known in New Zealand for the late Sir Peter Buck’s association with it That it enlists the Canterbury Museum as a partner in its research is an honour. of which Canterbury people can be proud.
