D.—Number of Applications for Patents during the year ending the 31st December, 1890.

E.—Number of Applications to register Trade-mark during the twelve months ending 31st December, 1890.

If the columns were totalled they will show an excess of the actual numbers—which are, applications 160, registrations 136 —as some applications include two or more classes. It will, of course, be borne in mind that, as no trade-mark can be registered until two months after the application has been gazetted, the numbers shown as registered have yet to be augmented.

F.—Number and Nature of Letters Patent applied for in New Zealand during the year 1890.
