THE PUBLISHER'S DESK. FRIENDS AT HOME. It is not our intention this year to bring out a Special Christmas Number of tho Magazine, but we, would call the attention of our readers to the fact that tho contents of the November and December Numbers will render them especially suitable to send to friends in England and elsewhere instead of the usual Christmas Card. At a time like tho present, when so much interest is taken in our rising young Colony, a copy of The Nkw Zealand Illustrated Magazine will be highly appreciated as an example of what can bo done here, and as giving an interesting and realistic idea of life in the colonies. The price will be as usual (9d.), and the postage is 2|d. Those desirous of obtaining extra copies for the purpose should send orders in early either to their booksellers or to tho Ofh'co of the Magazine, Auckland. PHOTOGRAPHS OF CURIOSITIES. The Editor announced in our last number that several fresh features would be introduced in The New Zealand Illustrated Magazine during the ensuing year. One of these will be " Photographs of Curiosities." Most knights of the Kodak have, from time to time, snapped curiosities, or have curios worth snapping. We therefore invite our readers to forward us any photographs of curiosities they may happen to have. The term is a comprehensive one, so much the better; the more varied the material the more artistic the result. No restrictions or limits whatever are placed on contributors, either as to descriptions of curios or time to send in. If not in time for one number they will be for another. All photos used will be paid for, and contributors names published. When required (and stamps must be sent for the purpose) originals will be returned. A few lines descriptive of each curio should be sent. BOCI/ND VOLUMES.
