No. 5. RETURN of the QUANTITY and VALUE of GOLD EXPORTED from NEW ZEALAND during the YEAR ended 31st DECEMBER, 1875.

No. 6. RETURN of the QUANTITY and VALUE of GOLD ENTERED for DUTY for EXPORTATION from NEW ZEALAND, from 1st APRIL, 1857, to 31st MARCH, 1876.

Note.—As much of the gold is now removed coastwise from port to port within the colony before it is finally exported, it has been found impossible, except by delaying the publication of this Return, to show the countries to which it is exported, from the various districts ; the columns for this information have therefore been omitted from this Return. The names of the countries to which the gold is exported will be found correctly stated in the Quarterly and Annual Returns of General Exports. Customs Department, H. S. McKellar, Wellington, 18th April, 1876. (for the Secretary of Customs).
