Content Summary:

The bound volume comprises photographs of specimens, and manuscript descriptions, including some sketches, of Maori heads, boats, implements and weapons. It came from the H.G. Beasley Collection, Cranmore Ethnological Museum, Chislehurst and there is a manuscript note by H.G. Beasley that he often met Robley who was a rather peculiar person. He was a keen amateur ethnologist but his judgement 'was not always good'.
