EVIDENCE OF OLD
RACE DISCOVERED

Auckland. New Zealand Feb. T.
Old inscriptions have been discovered
by Clement Wragge at the Bay of
Islands New Zealand) and he has
now returned to New Zealand from
Sydney and has expressed his con-
viction that these Inscriptions are of
a prehistoric origin and are in no way
connected with the Maoris Speaking
on this subject Mr. Wragge said:
These marks have to my mind been
made by people allied to those who
built the wonderful statues and cary
ed the marvellous inscriptions on
Easter island The latter have moth
ing to do with the Polynesians, but
are allied to those found in Central
and South America long ages ago. In
fact, they refer to the Atlantean race
which intermingled with the still
more ancient race OF the Lemurians
These, | am convinced inhabited d
land which once existed where is now
the Pacific ocean, Easter island,
Pitcairn. Tahiti, Raiatea, FIJI, New
Caledonia. Ratotonga, and the main
or foundation rocks of New Zealand,
Southeast Australia and Tasmania are
undoubtedly the remains sticking up
of that old Lemurian land
Mr.. Wragge further believes that
he is in possession of evidence Of
relics of the old Lemurian-Alantean
race in the north of New Zealandeand
it is his intention to institute a search
for them.
