ppen to be visited by strangers of importance: the war dance is gone through on these occasions, and speeches declaratory of war, or welcome, as the case may be, made to the visitors. The "review of the Taniwha," witnessed by the Ngati Kuri, was possibly a herd of sea-lions, or sea-elephants; animals scarcely ever seen on the coast of that part of New Zealand, and, therefore, from their strange and hideous appearance, at once set down as an army of Taniwha. One man only was, at the defeat of the Ngati Kuri, on Motiti, rescued to tell the tale.--p. 153. _Tupara_--A double gun; an article, in the old times, valued by the natives above all other earthly riches.--p. 12. _Tutua_--A low, worthless, and, above all, a _poor_, fellow--a "nobody."--p. 18. _Utu_--Revenge, or satisfaction; also payment.--p. 26. THE END. London: SMITH, ELDER and Co., Little Green Arbour Court, Old Bailey, E.C.
