Two very extensive and valuable collections of specimens of native arts and crafts, one from Nigeria and the other from New Guinea, have been presented to the Auckland Museum by Mr J. R. Adams Wilkes, a resident of Rabaul, the chief town of the mandated territory of New Guinea. Mr Wilkes is at present visiting the Dominion. Representing many years of assiduous collecting, the exhibits are the more acceptable by reason of their variety and choice, illustrating many phases of native life.
