To the Editor of the New Zealand Country Journal.

Dear Sir,—For certain reasons I am very anxious to have a reading of a book called "Lasteyrie on the Merino Sheep," but unfortunately I cannot find a copy in the bookshelves of any of my friends. Should any of your readers possess the book, I shall feel greatly obliged by the loan of it for a week, after which I will undertake to return it safe to the owner.
