TN the current number of the Polynesian Society’s Journal is a long article from the pen of our old friend, Mr.

Arthur J. Vogan, in which he shows illus trations of some of his principal archaeo logical discoveries—some of which have appeared in these columns. He shows the hare moon-symbolism ciselured upon the sand-stone cliffs of Woy Woy, near Syd ney, which, he says, gives evidence that the so-called “aboriginal carvings” were made principally, anyway —by Asiatic wanderers, hundreds of years before hares and rabbits were introduced by sportsmen to bless Australasian farmers.

He shows, also, some of his archaeologi cal finds in Fiji—especially in the Yasa iwas. and in Vanua Levu.

Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Rondahl, of Rabaul, New Guinea, spent a short holiday in Adelaide, South Australia, in November.
