Transcript

Sir Everard Home a well known naval officer of the fifties, gave a large number of very valuable books to Sir George Grey “for the people of New Zealand”. Probably these may now be in the Auckland Library, as Sir Geo. has made it a gift.

Joseph Brittan, also brought rabbits early.

C. Bills had a good innings with the Prov. Gov & Accli. Society re importing birds &c. He made many trips from Home. The rooks were brought by him.
