many respects the most remarkable
savages with whom the white man
has come i'm contact. according To a
statement given out Oy the National
Geographic society, at Washington, to-
day.
when the English first occupied the
islands, in the early part of the nine
teenth century, IL is estimated that
there were about 100000 Maoris in
New Zealand" says the statement.
They were divided into tribes. each
tribe having its own unwritten laws
regarding land, cultivation, and other
social matters The tribes were con-
stantly fighting. The English found
that they had a genius for war, show

titled the soil with care; as carvers
and decorators they were unrivalled in
the oceanic world, and they displayed
great originality in the design and
perfection i'm the execution of rock
paintings, and i'm carving the orna-
mental figures of their dwellings, their
boats and sacred Enclosures.

THE Maoris were also noted foI
