SEEING NEW ZEALAND
Amongst the guide-book species of literature dealing with New Zealand, pride of place must in future be given to Dr. A. J. Harrop's "Touring in New Zealand," recently published by George Allen and Uiiwin, Ltd.' It is something much more than a guide-book, the country being described from the point of view of an overseas visitor Who is interested in the historical and picturesque background afforded by the relationship between Maori ■ and pakeha. Each of the two main islands has a section to itself as regards tours, etc., and there is in addition a general description. Not only are the scenic features described, but the reader is made acquainted with the treasures in /the Turnbull Library, to quote but one instance in' order to show the ground covered. There are sections dealing with various sports, cruises, curative springs, and methods of travel. The specimen/itineraries, together with the notes on clothes, food, and local customs, will be very useful to the intending visitor. It is certain that Dr. Harrop's book, which is well illustrated with photographs, will be exceedingly valuable to all who contemplate a visit to New Zealand, and, in addition, it will be found full of interest by those already resident in the country.
