* I am grateful to Mr B. A. L. Cranstone, Assistant Keeper in the Department, for much help.

* I am indebted to Mr Arthur Halcrow, lately Sub-Librarian, Trinity College, for aiding my search for information on the Cook spears [11]. Dr G. H. S. Bushnell, Curator of the University Museum instigated the arduous search necessary to bring the actual spears to light and Mr D. J. Mulvaney, Australian National University, Canberra first mentioned to me the spears’ possible existence.

Editor’s note: Dr Bushnell reports that the missing spear has come to light in the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (in a case devoted to the Society Islands) while this note was printing.
