AuricuiatetJ is :, go*ni word, and following the derivation ii should mean ["having little oars." So far as rev memory [servos me it moan? having projections shaped like ears jo that its application to ; the town -hail- might Ik> eoie-Hjered richer ! quaint unless one were to liken the alleged itower to what the Yorkdiironion ■ would call a little "lug." The word I u,ed in referrink' to tin'.'* isosceles triangle- 1 am afraid I iwrong the isofcolvt—-wa* apiculated. It i>-» the apex of thy triangle thai strike* one first, and I thought I was jin-tiried in referring to the creation generally as an " apiculatcd aggravation." Perhaps 1 mav adopt tho other word and call it now "ait apiculatcd unrieuiated aggravation." [ have hoard several people, ipeak v,.v highly of Mr. Myth's suggestion to build the Auekland town hall in" Albert Park overlooking ilk ; ,it -"- I' - A. V.UI.E. ' July 3..
