This illustration shows three maps of the Province of Taranaki, N.Z., indicating respectively (1) The situation of Post Offices (2) The situation of Schools, and (3) The Districts round each of the chief Towns, and the nature of the country and the class of Farming carried on, with every surveyed section of land, railway, road, river, town and port. The original map is 8′- 6″ × 8′-6″, and forms part of the Taranaki Provincial Exhibit at the New Zealand International Exhibition, held at Christchurch, N.Z., A.D. 1906-7 Unfortunately some of the colours do not photograph well. The names of the centres obscured are New Plymouth, Waitara, Okato, Kaponga, Eltham and Hawera. A good magnifying glass will enable all matter to be seen more or less c'early. The map was prepared by Mr. H. Moverley, of New Plymouth.
