It contains a complete* list of all centres of population on the west coast of the North Island, and, considering the shifting naturo of nil co.'onial populations, a wonderfu'ly correct directory. It also contains a mass of statistical information, a very useful garden calendar, tables of great value to farmers, information regarding stamp duties, and a brief synopsis of a number of statutes bearing ; on everyday life. In bulk it has increased from 308 to 448 pages since last year ; but owing to careful editing and compilation, and the admirable arrangement of the matter it contains, its usefulness is doubled.

I Parkinson's Stab Almanac and West Coast Directory for 1902. As usual, the publication is decidedly creditable to the publisher, Mr W. A. Parkinson, of the Hawera Star.

There are, for instance, agricultural and other statistics, a carefully compiled summary of the statutes affecting tho farming commnnily, a table of Customs duties, mail intelligence, farm and garden " calendars, and, in short, information of use and value to every section of the community. The Stab Directory is well gut up and cleanly printed, and, published as it is at a price whioh brings it within the roach i of all, it should find a large circulation.
