Sixth Meeting: 8th October, 1913.

G. J. Parr, Esq., Mayor of Auckland, President, in the chair.

This meeting, which was held in the exhibition halls of the Auckland Museum on the occasion of the installation of the restoration of the moa (Dinornis maximus) and other important additions to the Museum, took the form of an informal conversazione, and was attended by over five hundred members and their friends.

During the evening the President congratulated those present on the important additions made to the collections, and announced that the Hon. E. Mitchelson had that day presented to the Museum his unique collection of specimens of kauri-gum, valued by experts at a sum not much below £1,000. A vote of thanks to the Hon. E. Mitchelson was passed by acclamation.
