Page:Pounamu, notes on New Zealand greenstone (IA pounamunotesonne00robl).djvu/12

viii A glossary of Maori words and phrases used in this book is given on page 79. It will, perhaps, be of use to those readers who are not acquainted with the native tongue.

In the hope that these notes on pounamu, and the drawings which have been made by the Author to illustrate them, may prove of interest to the general reader and of use to the student, they are offered, as the Maori says, Mo a muri mo a nehe—for the days that follow after.
